Abstract

A charge-assisted hydrogen-bonding network involving N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilizes the crystal of the title salt, C5H8N3 +·H2PO4 . The dihydrogen phosphate anions form one-dimensional chains along [100], via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The 2-amino-4-methyl­pyrimidinium cations are linked to these chains by means of two different kinds of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Neighbouring chains are linked via C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds forming two-dimensional slab-like networks lying parallel to (01-1).

Related literature  

Intriguing anion clusters formed by the supra­molecular assembly of dihydrogen phosphates have been investigated recently (see: Hossain et al., 2012). Methyl­pyrimidine derivatives are known to be synthetic precursors to many bioactive pyrimidine derivatives (see: Xue et al., 1993). Metal complexes of pyrimidines (see: Zhu et al., 2008) and their proton transfer complexes with mineral acids are reported (see: Aakeroy et al., 2003). The infinite O—H⋯O hydrogen-bond chain present in this material is a structural feature suggestive of possible proton conducting behaviour (see: Haile et al., 2001).graphic file with name e-69-0o529-scheme1.jpg

Comment

The title compound, a multicomponent crystal, AMHP, crystallizes in triclinic P-1, with a protonated 2-amino-4-methylpyrimidine molecule and a dihydrogenphosphate moiety in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). The dihydrogenphosphate residue forms a chain via O—H···O hydrogen bonds. 2-Amino-4-methylpyrimidinium cations are linked to these chains by means of two different kinds of N—H···O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds and the resulting supramolecular assembly is shown in Figure 2. The infinite hydrogen bond chains present in this structure are of special interest due to the anticipated proton conductivity of the material (see: Haile et al.2001).

Experimental

The title compound was prepared by treating 2-amino 4-methyl pyramidine with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) in aqueous solution (Scheme 1) in 1:1 molar ratio. The crystals were harvested from the solution after 10 days and suitable crystal for single-crystal X-ray diffraction study were chosen using a polarizing microscope.

Special details

Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded fractional coordinates. All su's are estimated from the variances of the (full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs 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.
