Comment
Recently, the chemistry of metal complexes of carboxylates has been receiving an increasing attention. To date, a wide variety of model metal carboxylic compounds has been prepared with the aim to mimic the structures and functions of the active sites of metal metalloenzymes [Liu et al., 2004]. The title compound (I), is a key intermediate in the preparation of carboxylates, which we are designing for the synthesis of metal complexes. The structure of the title compound, [C12H18NO2]+ .I-, comprises discrete ions which are interconected by weak C—H···I hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen bonds appear to complement the Coulombic interaction and help to stabilize the structure further.The molecular structure is stabilize by one intramolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond. The C atoms of ethyl group are disorder over two occupied positions [0.76 (4)/0.24 (4)].
Experimental
The title compound was synthesized by reaction of 4-Dimethylamino-benzoic acid ethyl ester (0.966 g, 5 mmol) and Iodomethane (0.710 g, 5 mmol) in acetone (40 ml). The solution was vigorously stirring for 24 h to afford white precipitates. The precipitates were collected by filtration, re-dissolved in MeOH (10 ml) then allowed to stand for several days to produce white crystals (I). Yield: 1.44 g (86%). The crystal used for the crystal structure determination was obtained directly from the above preparation. Analysis, found: C, 43.32; H, 5.31; N, 4.12%. calculated. for C12H18INO2: C, 43.00; H, 5.41; N, 4.18%.
Refinement
Carbon-bond H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.97 Å for methylene group, C—H = 0.96 Å for methyl group, C—H = 0.93 Å for phenyl group), and were included in the refinement in the riding mode approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for methylene group and phenyl group and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl group. The ethyl group C atoms are disorder over two occupied positions [0.76 (4)/0.24 (4)].

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
| Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |
