4-Methoxybenzamidinium bromide

The title salt, C8H11N2O+·Br , was synthesized by the reaction between 4-methoxybenzamidine (4-amidinoanisole) and hydrobromic acid. In the cation, the amidinium group has two similar C—N bonds [1.304 (2) and 1.316 (2) ], and its plane forms a dihedral angle of 31.08 (5)° with the benzene ring. The ions are associated in the crystal into a three-dimension hydrogen-bonded supramolecular network featuring N—H+...Br interactions.
