4-[(2-Chloro­ethyl)amino]quinolinium chloride monohydrate

Abstract

In the title salt hydrate, C₁₁H₁₂ClN₂⁺·Cl^–·H₂O, the quinolin­ium core is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) with the chloro­ethyl side chain being almost orthogonal to the core [C-N-C-C torsion angle = -80.0 (3)°]. In the crystal packing, the water mol­ecule bridges three species, forming donor inter­actions to two chloride anions and accepting a hydrogen bond from the quinolinium H atom. The chloride anion accepts a hydrogen bond from the amine N atom with the result that a two-dimensional supra­molecular array is formed in the ac plane. A C-HCl interaction also occurs.
