In the crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: 1-ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylate sesquihydrate], C16H18FN3O3·1.42H2O, N-H
O and O-H
O hydrogen bonds assemble the molecules in a two-dimensional layered corrugated sheet structure parallel to the b axis. The water molecules are disordered [occupancies 0.741 (11) and 0.259 (11)].
The title compound was prepared from anhydrous form as reported by Katdare et al.,(1986). It was then dissolved in Acetonitrile on water bath and allowed to cool in sealed flask. Pale yellow colored block like crystals suitable for x-ray analysis appeared after two days.
The lattice water molecules are disordered. The O4 oxygen is disordered over two sites, O4A and O4B, with occupancies of 0.741 and 0.259 respectively. The O5 oxygen atom has a occupancy of 0.423. Due to disorder the hydrogen atoms on O5 oxygen could not be located. All H atoms were located from difference Fourier synthesis. Those bonded to O atoms were then refined independently and isotropically, whilst those attached to C and N atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), N—H = 0.90 Å, C—H distance restraints of 0.93, 0.96 and 0.97 Å for aromatic, methylene and methyl groups, respectively.

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. |

Norfloxacin (NF) is a broad spectrum 4-fluoroquinolone antibacterial used in the treatment of urinary tract infections. As part of our interest in polymorphs and hydrates of NF, we have investigated the crystal structure of NF sesquihydrate, (I) (Fig. 1). NF molecule is zwitterionic and the N3 nitrogen is protonated similar to the reported structure of dihydrate (Florence et al., 2000) and anhydrous zwitterion (Barbas et al., 2007). The molecules are linked via N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional corrugated sheets parallel to b axis. These sheets are linked together by the water molecules which act as acceptors of H atoms, assembling the molecules in an infinite two-dimensional network (Fig. 2).
