C₁₅H₁₂NO₂ ^- (<b>A</b>) is synthesized by the chemical reaction of benzylamine and 4-carboxybenzaldehyde in ethanol, and the structure of the titled compound is verified using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Structural investigation inferred that the crystal packing is mainly stabilized by N-H···O and comparatively weak C-H···O bonding between the cation and anion and further stabilized by weak C-H···π and C-O···π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis is employed to explore the noncovalent interactions that are responsible for crystal packing quantitatively. Furthermore, we have used statACS omegaSynthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and Computational Study of a Novel Organic Salt Obtained from Benzylamine and an Acidic Component.PMC8412916R.G.P.2/128/42Arshad MUAshfaq MYaman MAlarfaji SSKargar HDege NMuhammad SMunawar KSTahir MNfalseSynthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and Computational Study of a Novel Organic Salt Obtained from Benzylamine and an Acidic Component.A novel Schiff base compound named as phenylmethanaminium (<i>E</i>)-4-((benzylimino)methyl)benzoate C₇H₁₀N⁺.
