In the title compound, C19H34N+·Br−·H2O, the dihedral angle between the trans-planar alkyl side chain and the pyridinium ring is 52.73 (7)°. In the O—H⋯Br, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form a network, while the hydrophobic alkyl chains interdigitate, forming bilayers.

1-Tetradecylpyridiniumbromide was synthesized by heating 1-bromotetradecane in pyridine at reflux for three hours. Excess pyridine was removed under reduced pressure and the resulting solid dissolved in a minimum of CHCl3. Pouring this slowly into stirring ethyl acetate resulted in the formation of a white solid which was subsequently filtered and recrystallized from methanol. The solid was dissolved in water and left to slowly evaporate, affording colourless plates of (I).
All H-atoms, except for water H atoms, were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.95 Å, Uiso=1.2Ueq (C) for aromatic, 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH2 and 0.99 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq (C) for CH3 atoms. The water H-atoms were found from a difference map and refined isotropically.

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. |

In a study to evaluate the physical properties of quaternary nitrogen species in solution, 1-tetradecylpyridinium bromide (I) was synthesized. Crystals were grown to investigate the most stable structure when the concentration of the salt was at its highest and thus suggest possible structures formed at concentrations above the critical micelle concentration, 2.77 × 10 -3 molL-1 at 298 K, (González-Pérez et. al., 2006).
The asymmetric unit of (I), Figure 1, comprises the desired alkyl pyridinium cation with a bromide counter anion and a water molecule of crystallization. The hydrophobic C14 alkyl chain has a trans-planar arrangement. This is the expected conformation, and is very similar to that of 1-dodeylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (Vongbupnimit et al., 1995). The dihedral angle formed between the alkyl chain and the pyridinium ring is 52.73 (7)°, more acute than the 79.16° seen in 1-dodecylpyridinium chloride monohydrate (Vongbupnimit et al.,1995). Packing in this structure, Figure 2, is governed primarily by hydrogen bonding, including both classical O—H donors and non-classical C—H donors. The bromide ion accepts a weak hydrogen bond [O1···Br1 = 3.336 (2) Å and <(O1—H1x···Br1) = 178 (3)°] from the water molecule (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999) and symmetry links it to another water molecule [O1···Br1i = 3.330 (2) Å and <(O1—H1x···Br1i) = 174 (3)° (i = x + 1, y, z)]. There are also five non-classical hydrogen bonds between C—H donors and either the bromide anion or the water molecule. Four of these interactions involve pyridinium C—H groups whilst one involves the methylene group attached directly to the pyridinium nitrogen, (Table 1). Hydrophobic interactions between the alkyl chains give rise to interdigitated molecules that resemble the structure of a lipid bilayer. This may indicate that, in solution, structures at higher concentrations of the surfactant may resemble lipid bilayers and stacked lipid bilayers as suggested by Isrealachvili (1985).
