N′-Hy­droxy­pyridine-2-carboximidamide–succinic acid (2/1)

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C₆H₇N₃O·0.5C₄H₆O₄, comprises one N′-hy­droxy­pyridine-2-carboximidamide mol­ecule and half a succinic acid mol­ecule (the whole molecule is generated by inversion symmetry). In the crystal, mol­ecules are assembled into columns along [110], via strong N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

Comment

There has been an instense interest in the preparation of cocrystals which is evident from the increasing number of research publications on this topic in recent years. With reliable strategies, cocrystals could offer a modular approach to delvelping materials with desirable properties.(Desiraju, 1995, 2003; Biradha et al., 2009) Cocrystals are created by utilizing weak noncovalent interactions such as hydrogen bonds. Herein we report the structure of the first cocrystal of the pyC(NH₂)NOH molecule.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig.1) contains one pyC(NH₂)NOH molecule and one half succinic acid molecule (the entire molecule is completed by the application of a centre of inversion). The pyridine rings and the N2—C6—N3—O1 rings are nearly coplanar, and the C7—C8—C8ⁱⁱ—C7ⁱⁱ torsion angle [Symmetry codes: (ii)-x, -y, -z + 1] of succinic acid is 180° restricted by crystallographic centrosymmetry. The proton of the carboxylate O atom (O3) of the succinic acid molecule forms a strong hydrogen bond with atom N3 of the pyC(NH₂)NOH molecule, at the same time, hydrogen bonding exist between hydroxyl O1 and carboxylater O2 atoms.(see Table 1 for hydrogen bond geometry). In addition, strong intermolecular N2—H2B···O1ⁱ [Symmetry codes: (i)-x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 1] hydrogen bonding supplement intermolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonding to form columns running parallel to the [110] direction. (Fig 2)

Experimental

A stoichiometric amount in the ratio of 2:1 of pyC(CH₂)NOH and succinic acid were dissolved in 20 ml e thanol, and the solution slowly left to evaporate to afford colourless block-like crystals after one week.

Refinement

H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and were refined using a riding model, with U_iso(H) = 1.2 U_eq(C). The N-bound and O-bound H atoms were located in the difference map and coordinates refined freely together with their isotropic displacement parameters.

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.
