Tetrabutylammonium 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid solvate

摘要

The title compound, C16H36N+ C7H5O4ÿ C7H6O4 or(nBu4N)+ (2,6-dhb)ÿ (2,6±Hdhb) [where (nBu4N) is tetrabutylammonium,(2,6-dhb)ÿis 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate and(2,6-Hdhb) is 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid], crystallizes in thespace group P1. The crystal structure involves alternate layers,in the c direction, of cationic [nBu4N]nn+ and anionic [(2,6-dhb)(2,6-Hdhb)]nnÿ. Hydrogen bonds within the anionic layersform bridges between 2,6-Hdhb and 2,6-dhbÿresidues.
