4-Amino-3-ammoniopyridinium dichloride

J.-H. Qin and J.-G. Wang

Abstract top

The anions and cations of the title compound, C5H9N32+·2Cl-, are connected by two chloride-bridged three-centered N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. The aromatic rings are not involved in stacking interactions.

Comment top

The title compound is a salt containing a diprotonated 3,4-diaminopyridine cation and two Cl- anions (Fig. 1). The C1—N3—C5 bond angle is wider than that in pyridine (116.94 (3)°; Sørensen et al., 1974) which indicates that the pyridine ring N atom is protonated (Table 1). Also, the 4-amino N atom is protonated. The projection of the crystal packing along the b axis is shown in Fig. 2. The Cl- anions and the 3,4-diaminopyridinium cations in the title compound are bonded by two chlorine-bridged, three-centered N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2, Table 2). Example structures of related compounds with two- and three-centered N—H···Cl hydrogen bonds are discussed by Iyere et al. (2003); Jones et al. (2002); Kochel (2005) and Sykora & Cioffi (2007).

Experimental top

3,4-diaminopyridine (0.01 mmol) and HCl (0.02 mmol) in 10 ml ethanol. Suitable crystals for X-ray analysis, were grown by allowing the solution to slowly evaporate for 15 days, and were subsequently filtered off, washed with methanol and dried under air.

Refinement top

H atoms were constrained to idealized positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)], and NH distances of 0.86 Å for NH2 [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N)] and 0.89 Å for NH3 [Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N)].
