In the title compound, C4H11N4+·C7H4NO4−, the guanidinium cation acts as a strong hydrogen-bonding donor via the guanidine NH2 and NH groups, with the carboxy groups of the nitrobenzoate group acting as the acceptors. These hydrogen bonds lead to fused R22(8) and R64(16) rings, which form corrugated sheets perpendicular to [010].
Comment
Some of us have previously reported the supramolecular arrangements of anilinium salts of arenecarboxylates (e.g. Glidewell et al., 2003, 2005a,b). We now report the structure and supramolecular arrangement of the title compound, [(H2N)2C—NH—N=CMe2]+·[2-O2NC6H4CO2]−, (I).
The 2N)2CNH—N=CMe2]+ cation. The adjacent positions of the carboxy and nitro groups in the nitrobenzoate anion lead to both groups twisting away from the plane; the latter is twisted at an angle of 24.72 (15)°, whereas the carboxy group is more nearly perpendicular, at 71.18°, as can be seen in Fig. 1. The 1-(isopropylideneamino)guanidinium complex is nearly planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0635 Å, and atom N4 shows the largest deviation from planarity [0.1256 (16) Å]. The angle between the plane defined by this molecule and that of the 2-nitrobenzoate ring is 72.17 (7)°. A complex strong hydrogen-bonding scheme operates between the cation and the anion (Table 1). The guanidinium N atoms act as donors, with the carboxyate O atoms the acceptors.
solution confirms the presence of a salt composed of a 2-nitrobenzoate anion and a [(HTwo main motifs dominate the hydrogen bonding in (I). Firstly, a nearly symmetrical simple R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995) forms from hydrogen bonding between the two molecules, involving the two guanidinium amino groups and the two carboxylate O atoms, viz. N2—H2A⋯O1 and N3—H3A⋯O2 (Fig. 1). These simple dimeric rings are linked by the other hydrogen bonds to form corrugated sheets (Fig. 2).
The carboxylate O atoms are central to the hydrogen-bonding scheme, and both act as multiple acceptors. As well as acting as an acceptor in the dimer described above, carboxylate atom O1 acts as a double acceptor to other guanidinium donors, viz. N3—H3B⋯O1ii and N4—H4A⋯O1ii [symmetry code: (ii) x − , −y + , z + ]. The other carboxylate O atom, O2, also is an acceptor for the guanidinium donor, viz. N2—H2B⋯O2i [symmetry code: (i) x − , −y + , z − ]. These two chains thus form the second major motif, also shown in Fig. 2, namely an R64(16) ring. There is thus an alternating ladder of these two motifs, which combine to give the corrugated sheets.
The nitro O atoms do not participate in the strong hydrogen bonding described above. The only likely connection is through a very weak aryl C5—H5⋯O4iii bond [symmetry code: (iii) x + 1, y, z], which would contribute to the sheet structure, forming chains along [100].
Experimental
Solutions of aminoguanidinium carbonate, [HN=C(NH2)—NH—NH2]·H2CO3 (3 mmol), in MeOH (20 ml) and 2-nitrobenzoic acid (3 mmol) in MeOH (20 ml) were mixed. After the effervescence had subsided, the reaction solution was maintained at 313 K for 30 min, left overnight at room temperature and then reduced on a rotary evaporator to leave crude [(H2N)2C—NH—NH2]+·[2-O2NC6H4CO2]−. Attempts to obtain suitable crystals of [(H2N)2C—NH—NH2]+·[2-O2NC6H4CO2]− for X-ray study from EtOH and MeOH solutions failed. The crude material was dissolved in acetone, and the solution was left to produce crystals of (I) slowly (m.p. 449–451 K).

Refinement

All H atoms were located in difference maps and then treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.95 (aryl) or 0.98 Å (methyl) and N—H distances of 0.88 Å, with Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq(aryl or NH) or 1.5Ueq(methyl). The displacement ellipsoid for nitro atom O3 was large, with a high U33 value. Attempts to split the position of O3 over two sites were unsuccessful, simply leading to one dominant large ellipsoid, and one even larger ellipsoid with very low occupancy. Hence, despite the large value obtained, the single-site model was retained for the final refinement.

Experimental. IR: 3300–2300 (br), 1687, 1611, 1585, 1527, 1477, 1431, 1380, 1353, 1275, 1121, 1075, 1048, 1002, 861, 833, 788, 750, 701, 650, 604, 476, 426 cm−1. |
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. |

Some of us have previously reported the supramolecular arrangements of anilinium salts of arenecarboxylates (e.g. Glidewell et al., 2003, 2005a,b). We now report the structure and supramolecular arrangement of the title compound, [(H2N)2C—NH—N=CMe2]+.[2-O2NC6H4CO2]−, (I).
The crystal structure solution confirms the presence of a salt composed of a 2-nitrobenzoate anion and an [(H2N)2CNH—N═CMe2]+ cation. The adjacent positions of the carboxy and nitro groups in the nitrobenzoate anion lead to both groups twisting away from the plane; the latter is twisted at an angle of 24.72 (15)°, whereas the carboxy group is more nearly perpendicular, at 71.18°, as can be seen in Fig. 1. The 1-methylethyliminoguanidinium complex is nearly planar, with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0635 Å, and atom N4 shows the largest deviation from planarity [0.1256 (16) Å]. The angle between the plane defined by this molecule and that of the 2-nitrobenzoate ring is 72.17 (7)°. A complex strong hydrogen-bonding scheme operates between the cation and the anion (Table 1). The N atoms in guanidine act as donors, with the carboxy O atoms in nitrobenzoate the acceptors.
Two main motifs dominate the hydrogen bonding in (I). Firstly, a nearly symmetrical simple R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995) forms from hydrogen bonding between the two molecules, involving the two guanidine amino groups and the two carboxy O atoms, N2—H2A···O1 and N3—H3A···O2 (Fig. 1). These simple dimeric rings are linked by the other hydrogen bonds to form corrugated sheets (Fig. 2).
The carboxy O atoms are central to the hydrogen-bonding scheme, and both act as multiple acceptors. As well as acting as an acceptor in the dimer described above, carboxy atom O1 acts as a double acceptor to other guanadine donors, N3—H3B···O1ii and N4—H4A···O1ii [symmetry code: (ii) x − 1/2, −y + 1/2, z + 1/2]. The other carboxy atom, O2, also is an acceptor for the guanadine donor, N2—H2B···O2i [symmetry code: (i) x − 1/2, −y + 1/2, z − 1/2]. These two chains thus form the second major motif, also shown in Fig. 2, an R46(16) ring. There is thus an alternating ladder of these two motifs, which combine to give the corrugated sheets.
The nitro O atoms do not participate in the strong hydrogen bonding described above (Fig. 3). The only likely connection is through a very weak aryl C5—H5···O4iii bond [symmetry code: (iii) x + 1, y, z], which would contribute to the sheet structure, forming chains along [100].
