2,2-Dibenzyl­hydrazin-1-ium chloride

In the title salt, C₁₄H₁₇N₂⁺·Cl⁻, the central N atom is pyramidal (sum of bond angles = 330.9°) and there is a near orthogonal relationship between the benzene rings [dihedral angle = 89.95 (10)°]. The crystal packing features N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, which lead to a supra­molecular undulating ribbon along the a axis comprising edge-shared eight-membered {...HNH...Cl}₂ synthons. The chains are connected into layers in the ab plane by C—H...π inter­actions.
