Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title structure, C3H11NOP(+)·I(-)·C3H10NOP, consists of one (di-methyl-phosphor-yl)methanamine (dpma) mol-ecule, one (di-methyl-phosphor-yl)methanaminium (dpmaH) ion and one iodide counter-anion. In the crystal, medium-strong to weak N-H⋯O and N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect dpmaH cations and dpma mol-ecules into strands along [001]. The iodide counter-anions form only very weak hydrogen bonds. The crystal used for the diffraction study was found to be an inversion twin with a ratio of 0.83 (2):0.17 (2). The title structure is isotypic to that of dpmaH[ClO4]·dpma [Buhl et al. (2013 ▶).
