Propane-1,3-diammonium dichromate(VI)

The title compound, (C(3)H(12)N(2))[Cr(2)O(7)], consists of a discrete dichromate anion with an eclipsed conformation and a propane-1,3-diammonium cation. Both kinds of ions have a mirror plane passing through the bridging O atom and the central methyl­ene C atom of the Cr(2)O(7) (2−) and C(3)H(12)N(2) (2+) moieties, respectively. Anions and cations are alternately stacked to form columns parallel to the b axis. Ions are linked by intra- and inter-column hydrogen bonds of types N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O, involving O atoms of the dichromate anions as acceptors, and ammonium or methyl­ene groups as donors.
