Abstract: | In the title compound, tetraethylammonium hydroxide pentahydrate, C8H20N+·OH?·5H2O, layers of approximately hexagonally close‐packed NEt4+ cations and anionic layers of hydroxide and water molecules are stacked alternately along the b axis. All hydroxide and water H atoms are in ordered positions, giving rise to a network of hydrogen bonds [O?O 2.633 (1)–2.947 (2) Å] with four‐ and six‐membered rings. The hydroxide ion accepts four hydrogen bonds from four water molecules but does not act as a proton donor. |
