In the title compound, C7H7NO·C6H3N3O7, one of the nitro groups of the picric acid molecule lies in the plane of the attached benzene ring [dihedral angle = 1.4 (1)°] while the other two are twisted away by 9.9 (1) and 30.3 (1)°. In the benzamide molecule, the amide group is almost coplanar with the benzene ring [dihedral angle = 4.4 (1)°]. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S6 ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a ribbon-like structure along the b axis by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In addition, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and short O⋯O contacts [2.828 (2) Å] are observed.

Picric acid (2.29 g) dissolved in methanol was added dropwise to a methanolic solution of benzamide (1.21 g). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis are obtained by repeated recrystallization of the salt from pure methanol.
The O- and N-bound H atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. The remaining H atoms were positioned geometrically (C–H = 0.95 Å) and allowed to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

2,4,6-Trinitro phenol, popularly known as picric acid, was primarily used to manufacture explosives and also used as an intermediate in dye manufacturing. It is well known that picric acid forms charge transfer molecular complexes with a number of aromatic compounds such as aromatic hydrocarbons, amines etc. through electrostatic or hydrogen bonding interactions (In et al., 1997; Zaderenko et al., 1997). The crystal structures of a large number of picrate salts and picric acid complexes have been studied to understand the conformational features and charge transfer processes (Nagata et al., 1995; Smith et al., 2004; Goto et al., 2004). We report here the crystal structure of the title compound.
In the picric acid molecule (Fig.1), one of the nitro groups lies in the plane of the attached benzene ring and other two rings are twisted away by 9.9 (1)° [N1/O2/O3] and 30.3 (1)° [N3/O6/O7]; the hydroxyl O atom deviates from the attached benzene ring by 0.039 (1) Å. In the benzamide molecule, the amide group is almost coplanar with the benzene ring (C7—C12) [dihedral angle is 4.4 (1)°]. The sum of the bond angles around the atom N4 (359.9°) of the amide group is in accordance with sp2 hybridization. An intramolecular O1—H1···O2 hydrogen bond forms an S6 ring motif (Bernstein et al., 1995).
The molecules at (x, y, z) and (1-x, 1-y, 1-z) are linked by pairs of C5—H5···O6 intermolecular hydrogen bonds forming a centrosymmetric dimer containing R22(10) ring motif (Table 1). Atom N4 at (x, y, z) acts as a donor to atom O8 at (-x, 1/2 + y, 1/2 -z) forming a C4 zigzag chain running along the b axis. The crystal packing is controlled by O—H···O, N—H···O and C—H···O types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, which form a three-dimensional network (Fig.2). An intermolecular O2···O8 short contact of 2.828 (2) Å is observed.
