Abstract The crystal and molecular structure of 5-anilinopentadienylidenanilinium bromide has been solved by X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals of this compound are monoclinic, space groupC2/c (No. 15), with unit cell data:a = 14.63,b = 12.68,c= 17.77 Å and β = 104.8 °,D m = 1.39 g cm−3,Z = 8,D c = 1.37 g cm−3 and μ = 38.4 cm−1 (CuKα radiation). The structure has been refined to anR-value of 0.049, using diffractometer intensity data for 2014 reflexions. The bond angles in the pentamethene chain are widened by about 3.8 ° from the expected value of 120 °, owing to the repulsion of hydrogen atoms in the chain. Steric hindrances from the hydrogen atoms cause the phenyl rings to be twisted by approximately 20.7 and 16.5 ° in the opposite directions with respect to the pentamethene chain. The nitrogen atoms take part in hydrogen bonds with the neighbouring bromine atoms (N ...; Br = 3.35 Å).
