Crystal structure of 2-bromo-3-di­methyl­amino-NNN′N′4-penta­methyl-4-(tri­methyl­sil­yloxy)pent-2-eneamidinium bromide

摘要

The reaction of the ortho­amide 1,1,1-tris­(di­methyl­amino)-4-methyl-4-(tri­methyl­sil­yloxy)pent-2-yne with bromine in benzene, yields the title salt, C15H33BrN3OSi⁺·Br⁻. The C—N bond lengths in the amidinium unit are 1.319 (6) and 1.333 (6) Å, indicating double-bond character, pointing towards charge delocalization within the NCN plane. The C—Br bond length of 1.926 (5) Å is characteristic for a C—Br single bond. Additionally, there is a bromine–bromine inter­action [3.229 (3) Å] present involving the anion and cation. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯Br inter­actions between the methyl H atoms of the cation and the bromide ions are present.
