In the crystal structure of the title salt, C8H12N+·C2F3O2, all of the ammonium H atoms serve as donors for hydrogen bonds to carboxyl­ate O atoms, forming an R43(10) ring motif based on two cations and two anions. Since both cations and anions act as inter-ion bridging groups, R(10) rings aggregate in a one-dimensional supra­molecular network by sharing the strongest N—H⋯O bond. Edge-sharing motifs lie on the twofold screw axis parallel to [010], and anti­parallel packing of these 21-column structural units results in the crystal structure. This arrangement is one of the most commonly occurring in conglomerates of chiral 1-phenyl­ethyl­amine with achiral monocarboxylic acids, confirming that these ionic salts are particularly robust supra­molecular heterosynthons useful in crystal engineering.

Comment top

In their works about optical resolution of conglomerates, Kinbara et al. noted that characteristic hydrogen-bond networks were formed in the salt crystals of 1-phenylethylamine and 1-(4-isopropylphenyl)ethylamine with cinnamic acid (Kinbara, Kai et al., 1996). They suggested that "the pattern of hydrogen bonds plays a significant role in the formation of conglomerates" (Kinbara, Hashimoto et al., 1996). In the specific case of salts of chiral 1-phenylethylamine with achiral monocarboxylic acids, a number of structural determinations indeed showed that two predominant supramolecular arrangements are favored by the charge assisted N—H···O hydrogen bonds, which result in crystals belonging to P21 or P212121 space groups (Lemmerer et al., 2008): cations and anions associate through quite strong hydrogen bonds to form C21(4)C22(6)[R43(10)] motifs (Etter, 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). This basic unit has hydrogen bonds with translational units, forming an infinite columnar structure, which generates a screw axis in the crystal structure (invariably a 21 axis). This supramolecular structure, referred as '21–column' in the Kinbara's reports, may be arranged in a parallel packing in the crystal, which then belongs to P21 space group, or in an antiparallel fashion, generating P212121 crystals.

The chiral title salt (Fig. 1) clearly falls in the latter category. Both the cation and anion are placed in general positions in an orthorhombic unit cell. All ammonium H atoms form hydrogen bonds with carboxylate O atoms, giving a ring motif R43(10), as shown in Fig. 2. The strongest hydrogen bond, N1—H1C···O2ii is common to two rings motifs. The repetition of the motif in the [010] direction generates homochiral (R)–21–columns. This 1D supramolecular network includes larger ring motifs, which appear if shared contacts are omitted. The sequence of sub-rings nest is R43(10) R65(16) R87(22) R109(28) ··· R2n2n-1(6n-2) [with n > 1]. The shortest contact between neighboring 21–columns is N1—H1B···F2i, which should be regarded as a van der Waals contact rather than as an actual hydrogen bond. As a consequence, an antiparallel arrangement of 21–columns is favored (Fig. 2, inset), which is, in turn, reflected in the P212121 space group. Such crystal structures were obtained for numerous 1-phenylethylamine salts including different anions, e.g. bromofluoroacetate (Boussac et al., 2002), m-iodobenzoate (Lemmerer et al., 2008) or more complex, bulky carboxylate derivatives (Johansen et al., 1998).

The above description is thus in line with expectations from previous reported structures, and confirms that salts based on chiral 1-phenylethylamine and achiral monocarboxylic acids are robust heterosynthons, useful for crystal engineering and crystal structure prediction. The feature should however not been transferred to other salts (or worse, to cocrystals) of 1-phenylethylamine, which stabilize different supramolecular motifs, if any.

Experimental top

The title salt crystallized when attempting to synthesize a diimine organic ligand. A mixture of (S)-6-acetyloxy-5-methyl-2,3-hexanedione (1 g, 5.37 mmol) and Na2SO4 (4 g) in chloroform (10 ml) was stirred for 5 min. A catalytic amount of trifluoroacetic acid and 2 equiv. of (R)-(+)-α-phenylethylamine (10.6 mmol) were added and the mixture was refluxed (ca. 353 K) under inert atmosphere, until starting materials were not detected by TLC (ca. 2 h). After evaporation under reduced pressure, the crude was recrystallized from CH2Cl2 at 298 K, affording, among other products, the title salt.

Refinement top

As no heavy atoms are present in the crystal and data were measured at room-temperature using Mo Kα radiation, no absorption correction was applied to the raw data. Because of insufficient anomalous scattering effects, the Flack parameter could not be reliably determined, and measured Friedel pairs (796) were merged. Absolute configuration was assigned by reference to the chiral amine used as starting material, assuming that no inversion occurred during crystallization. Ammonium H atoms were refined with free coordinates, in order to get accurate dimensions for hydrogen bonds. Other H atoms were placed in idealized positions and refined as riding to their carrier atoms, with bond lengths fixed to 0.93 (aromatic CH), 0.96 (methyl CH3) or 0.98 Å (methine CH). Isotropic displacement parameters for H atoms were calculated as Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic CH groups and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C, N) for other groups. The methyl group was considered as a rigid group free to rotate about its C—C bond.
