“…The crystal structures of some related compounds, viz., 2-(2phenylethyl)benzoic acid (Anilkumar et al, 2005), levocetirizinium dipicrate (Jasinski et al, 2010), cinnarizinium dipicrate (Jasinski et al, 2011), 1-methylpiperazine-1,4-diium dipicrate (Dutkiewicz et al, 2011) and 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypipe ridinium 2-(2-phenylethyl)benzoate (Fun et al, 2011) have been reported. Recently, we have reported the crystal structure of 4-[bis(4-fluorophenyl) methyl]piperazin-1-ium picrate (Betz et al, 2011). In the course of our studies on the salts of piperazines and in view of the importance of piperazines, the paper reports the crystal and molecular structure of the title salt.…”
