In the title compound, C11H15N32+·2NO3, one of the imidazole N atoms and the N atom of the pyrrolidine ring are protonated. The pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation, with the C atom carrying the benzoimidazolium substituent as the flap atom. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains that run parallel to the c axis.

Comment top

Heterocyclic amine derivatives have found wide range of applications in material science and display ferroelectric, fluorescence and dielectric behaviors. There has also been an increased interest in the preparation of coordination compounds from these heterocyclic ligands (Aminabhavi et al., 1986; Dai & Fu, 2008a,b; Fu & Ye, 2007; Fu et al., 2007). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound, (I), 2-(pyrrolidinium-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d] imidazol-3-ium dinitrate.

In the title compound, (C11H15N3)2+.2(NO3)-, the N4 atom of the imidazole and the N5 atom of pyrrolidine ring are protonated. The pyrrolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation with the C8 atom carrying the benzoimidazolium substituent as the flap atom. In the crystal structure, cations and anions are linked through N—H···O hydrogen bonds forming chains that run parallel to the c axis. (Fig. 2, Table 1).

Experimental top

The homochiral ligand S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole was synthesized by reaction of S-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid and benzene-1,2-diamine according to the procedure described in the literature (Aminabhavi et al., 1986). S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole (3 mmol) was dissolved in distilled water (20 ml) and nitric acid (1 ml). The solution was evaporated in air affording colorless block-like crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis.

Refinement top

All H atoms attached to C and N atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic), 0.97 Å (methylene) or 0.98 Å (methine) and N—H = 0.90 Å (N5), 0.86 Å (N3, N4) with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N).

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.
