The methyl H atoms are disordered about this twofold axis and were assigned equal half-occupancies. The chloride anion also lies on a twofold axis. In the crystal, N-H...Cl and C-H...O hydrogen bonds link the ions to form a three-dimensional network.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle10.1107/S16005368110081052-s2.0-79953779893U169921754094Q3O80667WOS:000289208800151Q4
