Benzyltripropylammonium bromide: a structure in polar space group P4(2)bc.

Crystals of the title compound, C(16)H(28)N(+).Br(-), were grown from solution in a mixture of acetone and propan-2-ol by slow evaporation. The structure was solved in the polar space group P4(2)bc with five moieties in the asymmetric unit, namely two benzyltripropylammonium cations in general positions, and two Br(-) anions in special Wyckoff positions (4a2. and 4b2.) and one in a general position. The structure consists of two kinds of molecular columns parallel to c, built of cations connected through C-H.pi hydrogen bonds and stabilized by weak C-H.Br interactions.
