Abstract

The title compound, 2-(phenylethyl)ammonium hydrogensquarate hemihydrate, was synthesized and structurally and spectroscopically characterized by a single crystal X-ray diffraction and solid-state polarized IR spectroscopy of oriented colloids in a nematic host. The crystal structure consists of two crystallographically independent 2-(phenylethyl)ammonium cations, joined in a 2D hydrogen-bonded network with hydrogensquarate anions and solvent water molecules. Surprisingly, the crystallographically non-equivalent cations exhibit differing pseudo T and G trans configurations.
