title: Bis(tri-ethyl-ammonium) chloranilate.
abstract: IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: bis-(tri-ethyl-ammonium) 2,5-di-chloro-3,6-dioxo-cyclo-hexa-1,4-diene-1,4-diolate], 2C6H16N(+)·C6Cl2O4 (2-), the chloranilate anion lies on an inversion center. The tri-ethyl-ammonium cations are linked on both sides of the anion via bifurcated N-H⋯(O,O) and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds to give a centrosymmetric 2:1 aggregate. The 2:1 aggregates are further linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a zigzag chain running along [01-1].
