In the title compound, C8H10NO2+·NO3, the cation is essentially planar with C—O—C—C and C—O—C—O torsion angles of −178.1 (2) and 2.1 (4)°, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions stabilize the structure.

Comment top

The study of seignette-electrics materials has received much attention. Some materials exhibit predominant dielectric-ferroelectric properties such as pyridine single salts of the PyHX type (X=ICl4, ClO4, IO4, ReO4, etc.) ( Asaji et al.(2007); Wasicki et al. (1997)). As one part of our continuing studies on looking for materials with these properties, we have used 2-ethyl picolinate as the ligand and synthesized salts similar to PyHX. The title compound (I) is one of these salts. It exhibits no phase-transition in dielectric measurement going from 93 K to 340 K (m.p 348 K).

The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one picolinate cation and one nitrate radical (Fig 1). The pyridine ring is planar and the carbethoxy is in the plane of the ring with an O2—C6—C5—C4 torsion angle of 0.1 (4)°. The torsion angles C7—O1—C6—C5 and C7—O1—C6—O2 at -178.1 (2)° and 2.1 (4)° respectively also show the overall planarity of the cation. Intramolecular N1—H···O4 and C1—H1B···O3 interactions link the cation and the anion while intermolecular C8—H8A···O3 interactions link the molecules into chains (Table 1, Fig 2).

Experimental top

A solution of 2-ethyl picolinate (10 mmol) in ethanol (20 ml) was added to a solution of equimolar amount of aqua fortis aqueous solution (1 mol/L). Crystals suitable for structure determination were grown by slow evaporation of the mixture at room temperature.

Refinement top

Positional parameters of all the H atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on the C atoms to which they are bonded, with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.75–0.86 Å; with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq(N).

Special details top

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.
