Abstract
The structures of a series of the simplest aliphatic amines determined at high pressure by single crystal X-ray diffraction reveal systematic structure property relations involving intermolecular interactions and molecular symmetries. Five new polymorphs have been found: one of methylamine (phase II, space group Fdd2), two of dimethylamine (phase I, space group C2/c and phase II, P21/c), and two of trimethylamine (phase II, space group P21/n and phase III, P21/m). The methylamine and dimethylamine molecules are arranged according to the NH···N hydrogen bonds. The phase diagrams of methylamines have been outlined up to 6 GPa.
