Abstract
Abstract1-Chloromethyl-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylbenzenonium tetrachloroaluminate is investigated in an X-ray diffraction study. The crystals are monoclinic: a=8.910(2), b=12.290(3), c=17.654(4) Å, β=111.57(2)°, space group P21/c. The AlCl4− anion has an almost perfect tetrahedral configuration; the average length of the Al−Cl bond is 2.130(3) Å. For cations, the symmetry is close to Cs. The C(2)−C(6) atoms lie in a plane (within ±0.012(5) Å), and the C(1) atom deviates from the plane by 0.113(5) Å to the side that is opposite to the CH2Cl group. Effects of the environment, as well as the effect of the nature of the R group, on the structure of 1-R-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexamethylbenzenonium are considered.
