Oxalic acid, C2O4H2, and 4,4′-bipyridyl, C10H8N2, crystallize in a 1:1 ratio. The consists of one oxalic acid (OXA) molecule and one 4,4'bipyridyl (BPY) molecule in general positions, together with one half-OXA molecule and one half-BPY molecule; the latter two molecules are centrosymmetric. The molecules are linked in two parallel independent chains by strong O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In one chain there is one independent O—H⋯N hydrogen bond [N⋯O = 2.557 (3) Å] and the molecules lie on centres of symmetry and are therefore constrained to have planar central portions. The second chain contains two independent O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [O⋯N = 2.549 (3) and 2.581 (3) Å] and both molecules are twisted about their central bonds.
Comment
Temperature-dependent proton migration has recently been observed in short N⋯O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid and pyridyl groups (Cowan et al., 2003, 2005). It occurred to us that 4,4′-bipyridyl (BPY) and oxalic acid (OXA) would be likely to co-crystallize in the same intermolecular configuration, but hopefully with only one independent N—H⋯O hydrogen bond in the We present here the of the title 1:1 adduct of BPY and OXA, (I).
The ). A similar configuration is often observed in co-crystals of BPY and for example in the co-crystals of BPY with fumaric acid (Chatterjee et al., 1998), phosphonoacetic acid (Bowes et al., 2003) and malonic acid (Pedireddi et al., 1998). That one-dimensional tapes are formed is unsurprising considering the co-crystals of BPY with 2,5-dihydroxybenzoquinone (Cowan et al., 2001), squaric acid (Reetz et al., 1994) and 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxybenzoquinone (Zaman et al., 1999), which all have a similar arrangement of O atoms to OXA and which all form one-dimensional tapes.
of (I) consists of one oxalic acid (OXA) molecule and one 4,4′-bipyridyl (BPY) molecule in general positions, together with one half-OXA molecule and one half-BPY molecule; the latter two molecules are centrosymmetric. BPY and OXA crystallize to form two similar independent one-dimensional chains. In both chains the OXA and BPY molecules are linked together by strong O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds in concert with C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1The two types of chains are distinguished by the twists within the molecules. In one chain, the planes of the pyridyl rings of the BPY molecule are twisted by 23.75 (6)° with respect to each other and there is a twist of 5.35 (11)° between the carboxylic acid groups of the OXA molecule, while in the other chain, the OXA and BPY molecules lie on centres of symmetry and are consequently both have planar central portions. Both chains lie in the ab plane and propagate in the [10] direction (Fig. 2). The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into parallel planes. One set of planes consists of only flat molecules and the other consists of only twisted molecules. The only significant interaction linking the planes is a C—H⋯O hydrogen bond (C11⋯O3) between adjacent planes of twisted molecules.
There are three similar O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds in the structure of (I). Although the H-atom positions were constrained in the final O—H distances between 1.15 and 1.25 Å in earlier free refinements hint that the true H-atom positions may be close to the centres of the hydrogen bonds. The graph produced by Steiner (2002) from neutron diffraction data of N⋯O hydrogen bonds suggests that the O—H distance becomes significantly elongated when the N—O distance is below ∼2.6 Å. Although not as short as the hydrogen bonds in which temperature-dependent proton migration has been observed, the N⋯O distances in the three hydrogen bonds in (I) are all below ∼2.6 Å. Therefore, a large elongation of the O—H bond is expected and the H-atom position may be temperature-dependent. Neutron diffraction is required for accurate H-atom positions.
Experimental
Equimolar quantities of BPY and OXA were dissolved in methanol. Crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray were prepared by slow evaporation of the solvent at room temperature.

Refinement

All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and then repositioned in idealized locations, with O—H = 0.82 Å and C—H = 0.93 Å. They were refined with their coordinates, but not their isotropic displacement parameters, riding on their parent atoms.

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. |
