4-Acetylanilinium Chloride Monohydrate

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title compound, C<inf>8</inf>H <inf>10</inf>NO+·Cl- H<inf>2</inf>O, is composed of 4-acetylanilinium cations, chloride anions and water molecules of crystallization. The crystal packing features stacking interactions between the aromatic rings, with stacks running along the c axis of the crystal, as well as extensive N-H⋯O, N-H⋯Cl and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding which involves all five 'active' H atoms and links cations, anions and water molecules into a three-dimensional framework. © 2004 International Union of Crystallography Printed in Great Britain - all rights reserved.
