Abstract top

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C9H11N2O4+·Br-, the ethanaminium cations and Br- anions are linked together by N-H...Br and O-H...Br hydrogen bonding. In the cation, the nitro group is twisted with respect to the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 21.43 (5)°.

Comment top

Amino acid derivatives are a class of excellent ligands for the construction of novel metal-organic frameworks (Fu et al., 2007). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound.

The title compound is built up from a Br- anion and a protonated amino group cation (Fig. 1). The nitro group is twisted from the benzene ring plane by a dihedral angle of 21.43 (5)°, and the 2-aminopropanoate substituent group is a zig-zag chain.

The crystal packing is stabilized by cation-anion N—H···Br and O—H···Br H-bonds building an infinite two-dimensional network developing parallel to the (1 1 0) plane (Table 1).

Experimental top

A mixture of 2-amino-3-phenylpropanoic acid (4.71g, 30 mmol), concentrated nitric acid (4.0 ml, 14 M) and concentrated sulfuric acid (1.5 ml, 18 M) was stirred at 383 K for 3 h under nitrogen atmosphere. The resulting solution was poured into ice water (100 ml), then filtered and washed with distilled water. The crude product was recrystallized with distilled water by adding dilute HBr (4 ml, 4 M) to yield colorless needle-like single crystals.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 (aromatic), 0.97 (methylene), 0.98 Å (methine) and N—H = 0.89 Å, O—H = 0.85 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O,N).

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.

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 > 2sigma(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.
