Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title salt C(8)H(22)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(5)O(2) (-), comprises two independent pairs of half a 2,2'-(piperazine-1,4-di-yl)diethanaminium dication plus a benzoate anion. The dications are symmetrical and lie across crystallographic centres of inversion. The crystal structure was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedral twin using the twin law 001 0-10 100 [he domain fractions are 0.8645 (8) and 0.1355 (8)]. The anions and cations are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and weak N-H⋯O inter-molecular inter-actions to form infinite two-dimensional networks parallel to [101]. The conformation adopted by the cation in the crystal structure is very similar to that adopted by the same cation in the structures of the 2-hy-droxy-benzoate [Cukrowski et al. (2012 ▶). Acta Cryst, E68, o2387], the nitrate and the tetra-hydrogen penta-borate salts.

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...
