Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of ()-3-[(2,3-di-chloro-benzyl-idene)amino]-5-phenyl-thia-zolidin-2-iminium bromide.

In the cation of the title salt, CHClNS·Br, the central thia-zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation. The phenyl ring is disordered over two sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.541 (9):0.459 (9). In the crystal, C-H⋯Br and N-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network with the cations and anions stacked along the axis direction. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, which only involve the minor disorder component of the ring, also contribute to the mol-ecular packing. In addition, there are also inversion-related Cl⋯Cl halogen bonds and C-Cl⋯π (ring) contacts. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contributions of the different inter-molecular inter-actions.
