Diisopropyl-ammonium methane-sulfonate.

ABSTRACT: The title molecular salt, C(6)H(16)N(+)·CH(3)SO(3) (-), has been determined at 150 K. Two diisopropyl-ammonium cations (dipH) and two anions form N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers lying around centers of symmetry. Only two of the three O atoms of the methane-sulfonate anion are involved in hydrogen bonding, resulting in slightly longer S-O bond lengths. The title structure represents an example of a sulfonate anion that is part of a hydrogen-bonding R(4) (4)(12) graph-set motif, which is well known for related dipH acetates. Additionally, the Raman and the IR spectroscopic data for the title compound are presented.
