Hydroxonium 1-ammonioethylidene-1,1-bisphosphonate

Y. Wu and D.-L. Yin

Abstract top

The title compound, H3O+·C2H8NO6P2-, contains a disordered H3O+ cation and an NH3C(CH3)(PO3H)2 anion. The three H atoms of the H3O+ cation are statistically distributed over four positions with occupancies of 0.75, resulting in a pseudo tetrahedron. Multiple N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds generate an intricate three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Phosphonic acids are interesting ligands. They can complex various metal ions and a series of organic-inorganic hydrid materials containing phosphonic acids have been prepared and characterized. Such materials have potential applications in catalysts, sensors, sorbents, magnetic and luminescent materials (Finn et al., 2003). In addition, introduction of some functional groups to phosphonic acids, such as crown ether, –COOH, –OH, –NR2 or mixed group will modify their complexing ability (Clearfield, 2002). 1-Aminoethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (AEDPH4) exists as a zwitterion and is inclined to transfer one proton to the amino group (Bollinger & Roundhill, 1993; Fernández et al., 2003; Li et al., 2008 ). Its deprotonation would result in predictable hydrogen aggregates from stronger P—O—H···O—P to weaker C—H···O hydrogen bonds. However, its crystal structure is still unknown (Yin et al., 2005). Herein, we report the structure of the title compound, (I).

The asymetric unit of (I) is built up from one deprotonated AEDPH4 anion and a disordered H3O+ cation which are linked through OW—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 1, Table 1). Two of the four protons of phosphonates are used in the protonation of one for the amino group, the other for H3O+ cation. The deprotonated AEDPH3- anions form two-dimensional (2D) H-bonded layer along the bc-plane. The strongest H-bond is O1—H1···O3iii (with O1···O3 distance 2.501 (2)Å), which links the AEDPH3- anions into dimers which form an infinite chain along the b axis by hydrogen bond O4—H4···O2iv (O4···O2 distance 2.635 (2) Å). Furthermore, three N-H···O H-bonds connect these chains to obtain a 2D layer. The H3O+ anions bond to the adjacent layers with five Ow—H···O bonds and stabilize the structure. The occurence of different hydrogen bond interactions, N—H···O, O—H···O and OW—H···O results in the formation of an intricated three dimensional network (Fig. 2, Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized according to the US Patent 4239695 (Chai et al., 1980). It was crystallized unexpectedly when 4,4'-bipyridine was adding into the AEDPH4 H2O solution to synthesize the complex. However, the 4,4'-bipyridine was not present in the final product.

Refinement top

All H atoms attached to C atoms, N atom and O(hydroxyl) atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.96 Å (C), N—H = 0.86 Å and O—H= 0.82Å with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C,N or O). H atoms of the H3O+ cation were located in difference Fourier maps and included in the subsequent refinement using restraints (O-H = 0.86 (1)Å) with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O); in the final stages of refinement their coordinates were fixed. The three hydrogen atoms of the H3O+ cation are statistically distributed over four positions with occupation factor of 0.75, resulting in a pseudo tetrahedron.

Special details top

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.
