The syntheses and structures of five mol-ecular salts of protonated 4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-3a,5,6,7a-tetra-hydro-benzo-thia-zol-2-yl-amine (C11H19N2S+) with different deprotonated carb-oxy-lic acids (4-methyl-benzoic acid, 4-bromo-benzoic acid, 3,5-di-nitro-benzoic acid, fumaric acid and succinic acid) are reported, namely 2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium 4-methyl-benzoate, C11H19N2S+·C8H7O2 -, (I), 2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium 4-bromo-benzoate, C11H19N2S+·C7H4BrO2 -, (II), 2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium 3,5-di-nitro-benzoate, C11H19N2S+·C7H3N2O6 -, (III), bis-(2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium) fumarate, 2C11H19N2S+·C4H2O4 2-,(IV), and the 1:1 co-crystal of bis-(2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium) succinate and 2-amino-4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetra-hydro-1,3-benzo-thia-zol-3-ium hydrogen succin-ate 4,4,7,7-tetra-methyl-3a,5,6,7a-tetra-hydro-benzo-thia-zol-2-yl-amine, 1.5C11H19N2S+·0.5C4H4O4 2-·0.5C4H5O4 -. 0.5C11H18N2S, (V). In every case, the cation protonation occurs at the N atom of the thia-zole ring and the six-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation (in some cases, the deviating methyl-ene groups are disordered over two sets of sites). The C-N bond lengths of the nominal -NH+=C-NH2 fragment of the cation are indistinguishable, indicating a significant contribution of the -NH-C=N+H2 resonance form to the structure. The packing for (I)-(V) features a robust local R 2 2(8) loop motif in which the cation forms two near-linear N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the N+-H group and syn H atom of the amine group to the carboxyl-ate group of an adjacent anion [(V) shows disorder of one of these bonds over N-H⋯O and N⋯H-O contributors but the same R 2 2(8) loop results for both disorder components]. The anti H atom of the -NH2 group also forms an N-H⋯O hydrogen bond, which results in [001] chains in (I) and (II), isolated centrosymmetric tetra-mers in (III) and [100] chains in (IV) and (V). Hirshfeld fingerprint plots and contact percentages for the different types of contacts of the cations are discussed.
