Bis(3-methyl­anilinium) naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate

Abstract

In the crystal of the title mol­ecular salt, 2C₇H₁₀N⁺·C₁₀H₆O₆S₂ ²⁻, the naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anion is located on an inversion center and accepts N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the 3-methyl­anilinium cations, forming supra­molecular layers parallel to the ac plane.

Comment

Recently much attention has been devoted to simple molecular-ionic compounds containing inorganic and organic ions due to the tunability of their special structural features and their potential ferroelectrics property. Ferroelectric materials that exhibit reversible electric polarization in response to an external electric field have found many applications such as nonvolatile memory storage, electronics and optics. The freezing of a certain functional group at low temperature forces significant orientational motions of the guest molecules and thus induces the formation of the ferroelectric phase. (Fu et al, 2011; Ye et al. 2009; Zhang et al. 2009; Zhang & Xiong, 2012; Zhang et al. 2010). In our laboratory, the title compound has been synthesized to investigate to its potential ferroelectric properties. However, it was found that the dielectric constant of the compound as a function of temperature indicates that the permittivity is basically temperature-independent (ε = C/(T–T₀)), suggesting that this compound is not ferroelectric or there may be no distinct phase transition occurring within the measured temperature (below the melting point).

The title compound,(C₇H₁₀N)₂.C₁₀H₆O₆S₂, has an asymmetric unit that consists of 3-methylanilinium cation, half an naphthalene-1,5-disulfonate anions, which are linked by an N—H···O hydrogen bond(Fig 1). The non-hydrogen atoms of the cation and the anion are coplanar with the r.m.s deviation are 0.0123Å and 0.0326Å respectively, the angle of the two plane is 114.7°. In the crystal structure, the cations are linked to anions by N—H···O hydrogen bonds to form layer-like structure which is parallel to ac plane (Fig 2).

Experimental

1.07 g (1 mmol) of 3-toluidine was firstly dissolved in 30 ml of ethanol, to which 0.288 g (1 mmol) of 1,5-naphthalene-disulfonic acid was added to give a solution at the ambient temperature. Single crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis were obtained by the slow evaporation of the above solution after 5 days in air.

Refinement

H atoms were placed in calculated positions with N—H = 0.89 and C—H = 0.93– 0.96 Å, and refined in riding mode, U_iso(H) = 1.5U_eq(C,N) for methyl and amino H atoms and 1.2U_eq(C) for the others.

Special details

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.
