The title compound, (C3H12N2)[HAsO4]·H2O, contains a network of propane-1,3-diaminium cations, hydrogenarsenate anions [mean As—O = 1.687 (2) Å] and water mol­ecules. The crystal packing involves anion-to-anion and water-to-anion O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in infinite chains containing the unusual R33(10) graph-set motif. Cation-to-anion and cation-to-water N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional overall structure.

Comment

The title compound, (C3H12N2)[HAsO4]·H2O, (I)[link] (Fig. 1[link]), was prepared as part of our ongoing structural studies of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions in protonated-amine (di)hydrogen arsenates (Lee & Harrison, 2003a[Lee, C. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2003a). Acta Cryst. E59, m739-m741.]; Wilkinson & Harrison, 2004[Wilkinson, H. S. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2004). Acta Cryst. E60, m1359-m1361.]; Todd & Harrison, 2005[Todd, M. J. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, m1024-m1026.]). In particular, (I)[link] complements propane-1,3-diaminium bis­(di­hydrogen­arsen­ate), (C3H12N2)[H2AsO4]2 (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2005[Wilkinson, H. S. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, m1289-m1291.]), prepared under different pH conditions.

[Scheme 1]

The [HAsO4]2− hydrogenarsenate group in (I)[link] has normal tetra­hedral geometry [mean As—O = 1.687 (2) Å], with the protonated As1—O4 vertex showing its usual lengthening relative to the unprotonated As—O bonds (Table 1[link]). The propane-1,3-diaminium cation shows no unusual geometrical features.

As well as electrostatic attractions, the component species in (I)[link] inter­act by means of a network of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 2[link]). The [HAsO4]2− units and water mol­ecules are linked into polymeric chains (Fig. 2[link]) propagating along [010] by way of anion-to-anion O4—H1⋯O2i and water-to-anion O5—H14⋯O1 and O5—H15⋯O2ii bonds (Table 2[link]). This arrangement results in an unusual R33(10) graph-set (Bernstein et al., 1995[Bernstein, J., Davis, R. E., Shimoni, L. & Chang, N.-L. (1995). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 1555-1573.]) motif. The As1⋯As1i separation is 4.7991 (3) Å.

The organic species inter­acts with the hydrogenarsenate/water chains by way of six N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [mean H⋯O = 1.89 Å, mean N—H⋯O = 171° and mean N⋯O = 2.793 (2) Å]. One of the acceptor O atoms is part of a water mol­ecule, and the other five are parts of hydrogenarsenate groups. This hydrogen-bonding scheme results in a three-dimensional network (Fig. 3[link]).

The hydrogen-bonded hydrogenarsenate/water chains in (I)[link] are different from the motifs seen in related structures. In bis­(cyclo­heptyl­aminium) hydrogenarsenate monohydrate (Todd & Harrison, 2005[Todd, M. J. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, m1024-m1026.]) and bis­(benzyl­ammonium) hydrogenarsenate monohydrate (Lee & Harrison, 2003c[Lee, C. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2003c). Acta Cryst. E59, m1151-m1153.]), hydrogen-bonded dimers of [HAsO4]2− units occur, with the dimers bridged into double chains by inter­vening water mol­ecules. In the unhydrated piperidinium dihydrogenarsenate (Lee & Harrison, 2003b[Lee, C. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2003b). Acta Cryst. E59, m959-m960.]) and t-butyl­ammonium dihydrogenarsenate (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2004[Wilkinson, H. S. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2004). Acta Cryst. E60, m1359-m1361.]), single chains of [H2AsO4] anions occur with each adjacent dihydrogenarsenate pair linked by a pair of hydrogen bonds. In propane-1,3-diaminium bis­(dihydrogenarsenate) (Wilkinson & Harrison, 2005[Wilkinson, H. S. & Harrison, W. T. A. (2005). Acta Cryst. E61, m1289-m1291.]), the same organic cation as found in (I)[link] is combined with dihydrogenarsenate [H2AsO4] groups, with the latter forming double chains.

Experimental

0.5 M aqueous propane-1,3-diamine solution (10 ml) was added to 0.5 M aqueous H3AsO4 solution (10 ml) to result in a clear solution. Aqueous ammonia was added to this solution to raise the pH to about 12, which is beyond the second end-point for H3AsO4 (i.e. the predominant species is [HAsO4]2−). Platy crystals of (I)[link] grew as the water evaporated over the course of a few days.

The O-bound H atoms were found in difference maps and refined as riding on their carrier O atoms in their as-found relative positions. H atoms bonded to C and N atoms were placed in idealized positions (C—H = 0.99 Å and N—H = 0.91 Å) and refined as riding, allowing for free rotation of the –NH3 groups. The constraint Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier) was applied in all cases.

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.
