Naphthalen-1-aminium chloride
The crystal structure reveals that C(10)H(10)N(+) cations and chloride anions form layers. These layers are held together by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds in the crystal lattice.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Solid-state chemistry
Background:
- Understanding intermolecular interactions is crucial in crystal engineering.
- Hydrogen bonds play a significant role in molecular self-assembly and crystal packing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure of the title compound, C(10)H(10)N(+)·Cl(-).
- To investigate the nature of intermolecular interactions, specifically hydrogen bonding, within the crystal lattice.
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the three-dimensional crystal structure.
- Analysis of the crystal structure focused on identifying hydrogen bond donors and acceptors.
Main Results:
- The crystal structure of C(10)H(10)N(+)·Cl(-) was successfully determined.
- A key finding is the formation of a layered structure facilitated by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds.
- These hydrogen bonds connect the cation and anion components, organizing them into planes parallel to the bc plane.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure provides insights into the supramolecular arrangement of the title compound.
- The N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding network is the primary driving force for the observed layered structure.
- This study contributes to the understanding of hydrogen bonding in organic salt crystal structures.

1° Amines to Diazonium or Aryldiazonium Salts: Diazotization with NaNO2 Overview
The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
