Abstract
The reaction of 3,3,3-tris(dimethylamino)-1-phenylprop-1-yne with bromine in pentane yields the title compound, C13H17N2+·Br−. The acetylenic bond distance [1.197 (2) Å] is consistent with a C C triple bond. The amidinium C=N bonds [1.325 (2) and 1.330 (2) Å] have double-bond character and the positive charge is delocalized between the two dimethylamino groups.
