Abstract
By the reaction of diisopropylamine (dip) with hydrochloric acid and crystallization at room temperature, dipHCl, known from the literature, and the corresponding hemihydrate, C6H16N+·Cl−·0.5H2O or dipHCl·0.5H2O, have been obtained. By using a new humidity chamber for the powder diffraction study it has been proven that dipHCl reacts via a solid-solid phase transition to give dipHCl·0.5H2O on increasing the relative humidity of the sample atmosphere. The cations and anions are connected by hydrogen bonds to form chains along the crystallographic [100] direction. The extended polymeric zigzag chains form layers in the ac plane, separated by water molecules. The cations and water molecules lie on crystallographic twofold rotation axes.
