Hexakis(propylammonium) benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-carboxylate tetrahydrate
The title organic salt, 6C3H10N+·C10H2O84-·C10H4O82-·4H2O, contains seven independent entities in the asymmetric unit which comprises three propylammonium cations, two water molecules, half a 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-carboxylate dianion (H2btc2-) and half a benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate tetraanion (btc4-), the latter two anions being located about centres of inversion. One of the water molecules is disordered over two positions in a 0.55 (2):0.45 (2) ratio. The combination of molecular ions and water molecules results in an extensive and complex three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds, the network being made up of nine unique N-H
O interactions between the ammonium cations and the anions, as well as four unique O-H
O interactions between the water molecules and the anions.
The title organic salt was synthesized by reacting propylamine (0.27 g) with
pyromellitic dianhydride (0.50 g) in the presence of THF (5 ml; not anhydrous)
as a solvent, at room temperature – the presence of water resulting in ring
opening of the pyromellitic dianhydride and subsequent salt formation. The
solid was filtered and recrystallized in methanol, yielding colourless
crystals suitable for analysis by X-ray diffraction.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were positioned geometrically, and allowed to
ride on their parent atoms, with C—H bond lengths of 0.95 (aromatic CH),
0.99 (methylene CH2), or 0.98 Å (methyl CH3), and isotropic displacement
parameters set to 1.2 (CH and CH2) or 1.5 times (CH3) the Ueq of
the parent atom. Amine H atoms were placed from the difference map and refined
freely. SADI (SAme DIstance restraint; Sheldrick, 2008) was used
in
the final refinements to restrain all the N—H bond lengths to reasonable
values. Water H atoms were placed from the difference map and refined freely.
One of the water molecules is disordered over two positions, O2WA and O2WB, in
a 0.55 (2):0.45 (2) ratio.

Intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding is of great importance in chemical and biological systems. In the crystal engineering field, hydrogen bonding plays an important role to organize molecules and assemble them to create supramolecules and control their dimensions in one-dimensional, two-dimensional, or three-dimensional networks (Lemmerer, 2011; Pimentel & McClellan, 1960; Arora & Pedireddi, 2003; Biradha & Zaworotko, 1998).
The title salt complex (Fig. 1) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P-1 and contains seven independent entities per asymmetric unit: half a 2,5-dicarboxybenzene-1,4-carboxylate dianion (H2btc2-; molecule A), half a benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylate tetraanion (btc4-; molecule B), three propylammonium cations (molecules C, D and E), and two water molecules (Fig. 1). Both aromatic anions lie about inversion centres located at the centroids of the aromatic rings. One of the water molecules is disordered over two positions in a 0.55 (2):0.45 (2) ratio.
The crystal structure contains a very extensive hydrogen bonded network based on O—H···O and N—H···O interactions. Several of these involve water molecules. Water molecule O1W accepts a hydrogen from N1C located on propylammonium cation C (N1C—H1C···O1W), and donates H atoms to both aromatic anions (molecules A and B). It is therefore involved in hydrogen bonding to an ammonium cation and two aromatic anions (Fig. 2). Figure 3 shows the hydrogen bonding between the O2WA water molecule and adjacent aromatic anions. In this case the disordered water molecule only forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds with the aromatic anions as both donor and acceptor. Hydrogen bonds involving O2WA as hydrogen donor consist of O2WA—H2WA···O4B and O2WA—H2WB···O3A, and as acceptor consists of O1A—H1A···O2WA (Table 1). The combination of two O2WA water molecules and the two aromatic anions (molecules A and B) forms a hydrogen bonded ring described by the graph set R44(18) (Etter et al., 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). This extends as a chain of rings along the a axis. There are no intramolecular hydrogen bonds in this structure due to the syn orientation of the carboxyl hydrogen atoms. Each of the three independent propylammonium cations (molecules C, D, and E) donate three hydrogen atoms to various molecules and hence do not participate in hydrogen bond interactions with each other. Cations D and E hydrogen bond exclusively to the two aromatic anions: cation D hydrogen bonds to one B tetraanion and two A dianions, while cation E hydrogen bonds to one A dianion and two B tetraanions. The environment around propylammonium cation C is different from D and E in that it is involved in hydrogen bonding to a water molecule in addition to two B tetraanions.
