Acta Crystallogr Sect E Struct Rep Online. 2011 Feb 12;67(Pt 3):o605. doi: 10.1107/S1600536811004351.

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, CH(6)N(+)·C(9)H(3)Cl(4)O(4) (-), the N atom of the methyl-amine mol-ecule is protonated and hydrogen bonded to the carboxyl group of the 3,4,5,6-tetra-chloro-2-(meth-oxy-carbon-yl)benzoate anion. The anions are linked by the cations via inter-molecular N-H⋯O inter-actions into chains extending along the c axis.
