N,N '-bis[2-(methoxycarbonyl)ethyl]ethane-1,2-diammonium dichloride

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C10H22N2O42+center dot 2Cl(-) or (H(2)Me(2)eddp)Cl-2 (H(2)Me(2)eddp(2+) is the dimethyl N,N'-di-3-propanecarboxylatoethane-1,2-diyldiiminium cation), the packing is stabilized by an infinite two-dimensional center dot center dot center dot Cl center dot center dot center dot H-N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl center dot center dot center dot hydrogen-bonding network. In addition, short C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl contacts are observed.
