In the title compound, 2-(4-chloro­benzamido)ethanaminium chloride, C9H12ClN2O+·Cl, both independent cations have linearly extended conformations, with protonation occurring at the terminal N atom. The inter­planar angles between the chloro­benzo­yl rings and the planar amide groups are 137.6 (3) and 149.3 (5)° for cations A and B, respectively. The cations are N—H...O hydrogen-bonded in a head-to-head/tail-to-tail fashion, producing distinct hydro­phobic and hydro­philic layers running parallel to [110]. The Cl anions are hydrogen-bonded to the terminal positively charged –NH3+ groups. Weak C—H...Cl inter­actions further coordinate the Cl anions. Structural comparison with pargyline, an irreversible MAO-B inhibitor, is presented.

Experimental. Generally no observable reflections above θ = 55° due to poor quality and small size of the crystal and high anisotropic thermal displacement parameters. A number of visible reflections from the region θ = 55–65° were identified from a previous data set collected on a larger but much poorer quality crystal and duly collected. These measures were exercised to prolong the life of our only copper X-ray tube for the Picker diffractometer. There were no other plausible reasons for the checkCIF red A alerts beyond the above.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
