Crystal structure of tert-butyl-N-phenyl-carbonitrilium tetra-chlorido-aluminate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, (C11H14N)[AlCl4], the nitrilium (systematic name: 2,2-dimethyl-N-phenyl-propane-nitrilium) ion adopts a slightly distorted linear configuration [C-N C = 178.87 (16) and N C-C = 179.13 (17)°]. In the crystal, while there are no inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, pairs of nitrilium ions are linked through π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.8091 (13) Å].
