Highlights: ► The packing of this hybrid compound shows strong and moderate non-centrosymmetrical structure. ► In all the studied temperature range, this conductivity increases with the temperature showing that this material has semi-conductor behaviour. ► The reported crystal could be an optically non-linear material. A study of this activity could open to it opportunities on applied plan. -- Abstract: Crystals of a new hybrid compound C{sub 8}H{sub 12}N{sup +}, HSO{sub 4}{sup −}·H{sub 2}O were synthesized in aqueous solution and characterized by X-ray diffraction and IR absorption spectroscopy. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic non-centrosymmetrical space group P2{sub 1}2{sub 1}2{sub 1} and an unit cell with a = 5.74(2) Å, b = 9.17(2) Å, c = 21.34(4) Å, V = 1124(6) Å{sup 3}, and Z = 4. Its crystal structure is a packing of alternated inorganic and organic layers parallel to (a,b) planes. The different components are connected by a bi-dimensional network of strong O-H…O and N-H…O hydrogen bonds. Then, in order to detect phase transitions and watch changes in the conductivity behaviour, investigations by DTA–TG and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and electrical conductivity measurements were carried out.
