The chemical preparation and crystal structure are given for a new organic-cation dihydrogenomonoarsenate, (5-Cl-2-CH3C6H3NH3) H2AsO4·H2O, in the solid state. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with the following unit cell parameters: a = 12.224(3)Å, b = 7.4496(10)Å, c = 13.212(4)Å, β = 112.40(2), Z = 4 and V = 1112.4(5)Å3. The crystal structure was solved with a final R = 0.03 using 4333 independent reflections. The atomic arrangement can be described as inorganic layers, built by H2AsO4 and H2O, developing parallel to the (b, a + c) planes. Between these layers are inserted the organic molecules.
