4-[3,5-Bis(ethoxycarbonyl)-2,6-dimethyl-4-pyridyl]pyridinium nitrate
In the title molecular salt, C18H21N2O4+·NO3-, the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 61.24 (8)°. In the crystal, the cation and anion are linked by intermolecular N-H
O hydrogen bonds.
A mixture of
2,6-dimethyl-4-(4-pyridyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate (1 mmol, 0.39 g) and
ammonium nitrate (2 mmol, 0.16 g) in 20 ml ethanol was refluxed for half an
hour. The obtained filtrate was evaporated in one open flask at room
temperature. One week later, yellow blocks of (I)
were obained. Anal. C20H22NO7: C, 55.61; H, 5.41; N, 7.21 %.
Found: C, 55.56; H, 5.33; N, 7.10 %.
The absolute structure of (I) is indeterminate based on the
present model.
All hydrogen atoms bound to aromatic carbon atoms were refined in calculated
positions using a riding model with a C—H distance of 0.93 Å and
Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C). Hydrogen atoms attached to aromatic N
atoms were refined with a N—H distance of 0.86 Å and Uiso =
1.2Ueq(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 >
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. |

In recent years, the design and construction of metal-organic frameworks through the coordination of metal ions with multifunctional organic ligands have received extensive attention due to their impressive structural diversities in architectures and their potential applications as functional materials (Zhang et al., 2003). Whereas, it is more important to design the novel organic ligand. Here, we describe the recystallization and structural characterization of the title compound.
The molecular structure is shown in Fig 1. The dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 61.24 (8) °. N—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen bonding between the cations and anions leads to a consolidation of the structure (Fig. 2; Table 1).
