Abstract

In the title salt, C2H8N+·C10H6N3O5 , the imidazole­carboxyl­ate anion is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.046 (5) Å], with a dihedral angle between the rings of 2.7 (2)°. This conformation is maintained by the presence of both intra­molecular carb­oxy–carboxyl­ate O—H⋯O and imidazole–oxide N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Iin the crystal, cation–carboxyl­ate N—H⋯O and cation–imidazole N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds result in chains along the b axis.

Comment

Imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid and its derivatives have a variety of coordination modes as ligands in the formation of metal complexes (Chen, 2008; Sun et al., 2005), which include those with the lanthanide metals (Chen et al., 2011). In the title salt, C2 H8N+ C10H6N3O5-, (Fig. 1), which consists of a dimethylammonium cation and a 5-carboxy-2-(2-pyridyl-N-oxide)-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate anion, the anion is essentially planar [maximum deviation from the l.s. plane = 0.046 (5) Å], with the dihedral angle between the rings of 2.7 (2)Å. This conformation is maintained by the presence of both intramolecular carboxyl O—H···O and imidazole N—H···Ooxide hydrogen bonds while intermolecular cation N—H···Ocarboxyl and N—H···Nimidazole hydrogen bonds (Table 1) give a one-dimensional chain structure.

Experimental

The ligand,(4,5-dicarboxy-1H-imidazol-2-yl)pyridine-1-oxide was prepared by the method reported in the literature (Sun et al., 2006). A diluted dimethylamine aqueous solution was added dropwise to an ethanolic solution of the ligand until the pH reached 7.4. Crystals of the title compound suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after a few days of slow evaporation of the solvent.

Refinement

Hydrogen atoms were placed at calculated positions (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, N—H = 0.90 Å and O—H = 0.82 Å) and were treated as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(C, N, O). In the absence of a suitable heavy atom, Friedel pairs were averaged in the refinement.

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.
