In the crystal structure of the title compound, C9H22N22+·2H2PO4-·H2O, the H2PO4- anions are hydrogen bonded to each other, forming a ribbon parallel to the b axis. The water molecules connect these ribbons via O-H
O hydrogen bonds. The organic cations are attached to the dihydrogen phosphate anions and water molecules through N-H
O and C-H
O hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite three-dimensional network.
Crystals of the title compound have been prepared in a Petri dish by adding 50 mmol of concentrated orthophosphoric acid (Fluka, 85%, d = 1.7) to 25 mmol of 4-Amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (Acros) dissolved in ethanol. After agitation, the resulting solution has been slowly evaporated at room temperature until the formation of single crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis and these remained stable under normal conditions of temperature and humidity.
Hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as part of a riding model except those of the water molecule which were located in difference Fourier maps and their positions and isotropic displacement parameters refined.

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. |

The combination of organic molecules and inorganic materials was the starting point for the development of new hybrid compounds having many practical and potential applications in various fields, such as biomolecular sciences, catalysis, fuel cells, liquid crystal-material development and quadratic nonlinear optics (Wang et al., 1996; Coombs et al., 1997; Masse et al., 1993). Among these hybrid compounds, organic phosphates are particularly interesting owing to the specific H-bond schemes that they can present in their infinite networks (Baoub & Jouini, 1998). We report here the synthesis and the crystal structure of a new member of this family, the compound (C9H28N2O9P2). As shown in Fig. 1, to ensure charge equilibrium the organic species is doubly protonated at N1 and N2 nitrogen atoms. Thus, the structure associates to each 4-ammonio-2,2,6,6,-tetramethylpiperidinium cation two dihydrogen phosphate anions and one water molecule. The two H2PO4- are crystallographically independent. They form, via H-bonds a repetitive motif of four member (H2PO4-)4 (Fig. 2). The organic cations and the water molecules are attached to these units via (O—H···O), N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds to perform a three dimensional infinite network. An examination of the anionic entity shows that the O···O distances involved in hydrogen bonds [2.537 (3) to 2.662 (3) A°] are close to the O···O distances in the H2PO4- tetrahedra [2.469 (3) to 2.536 (3) A°], so one could consider the [(H2PO4-)4]n subnetwork as a polyanion (Kefi et al., 2OO6). The detailed geometries of H2P(1)O4- and H2P(2)O4- entities show that the P···O distances significantly are shorter [1.480 (2) to 1.515 (2) A°] than the P···OH distances [1.552 (2) to 1.582 (2) A°], which is in full agreement with those observed in such anions in other organic dihydrogenomonophosphates [Oueslati and Ben Nasr, 2006].
