Different cation-protonation patterns in mol­ecular salts of unsymmetrical dimethyhydrazine: C2H9N2·Br and C2H9N2·H2PO3

We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two mol­ecular salts containing the 1,1-di­methyl­hydrazinium cation, namely 1,1-di­methyl­hydrazin-1-ium bromide, C2H9N2+·Br−, (I), and 2,2-di­methyl­hydrazin-1-ium di­hydrogen phosphite, C2H9N2+·H2PO3−, (II). In (I), the cation is protonated at the methyl­ated N atom and N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds generate [010] chains in the crystal. In (II), the cation is protonated at the terminal N atom and cation-to-anion N—H⋯O and anion-to-anion O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate (001) sheets.
