Abstract

The title compound, C7H6N2O4, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 Å for the 13 non-H atoms). The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which generate S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via inter­molecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Comment

In the study of organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes, 2-amino-5-nitrobenzoic, 2-amino-3-nitrobenzoic, 4-amino-3-nitrobenzoic and 5-amino-2-nitrobenzoic acids have been utilized in the synthesis work (Win et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c). The carboxylate anions of the acids are found to be bonded to tin(IV) atom moieties in both a monodentate and a bidentate manner resulting in structural diversity for organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes (Win et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c).

The title compound, Fig.1, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 Å for the 13 non-H atoms). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within normal ranges and are comparable to related structures (Win et al., 2010, 2011a, 2011b, 2011c). The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular N2–H1N2···O2 and N2–H2N2···O3 hydrogen bonds (Table 1), which generate S(6) ring motifs (Fig. 1, Bernstein et al., 1995).

In the crystal structure, Fig. 2, molecules are linked via intermolecular N2–H1N2···O1, O4–H1O4···O3 and C3–H3A···O1 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) into a three-dimensional network.

Experimental

The attempt to prepare organotin(IV) carboxylate complexes by heating under reflux the mixture of 2-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid (2 mmol) and dimethyltin(IV) oxide (4 mmol) for 4 h in 50 ml of methanol was unsuccessful. The resulting orange solution was filtered and orange crystals were obtained after 2 weeks. Unfortunately, the crystals obtained were found to be the starting material (2-amino-3-nitrobenzoic acid) with the melting point of 482 K.

Refinement

Atoms H1O4, H1N2 and H2N2 were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely with O-H = 0.83 (2) Å and N-H = 0.875 (18) and 0.893 (17) Å. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

Special details

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K.
Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
