Kristallstrukturbestimmung von N-Trimethylsily-N′-methylimidazoliumbromid

Crystal Structure Determination of N-Trimethylsilyl-N′-Methylimidazolium Bromide The reaction of Trimethylbromosilane and N-Methylimidazole (NMI) led to a 1:1 compound stable at room temperature. The reaction was carried out at room temperature and colorless single crystals were obtained by sublimation. The addition compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbnb (No. 56) with lattice constants a = 1218.3(2)pm, b = 1333.6(1)pm, c = 1360.2(2)pm, Z = 8, D_calc = 1.414 g/cm³. For 1506 independent reflections, measured at 21°C the structure could be refined to R = 0.067 and R_w = 0.062.
