In the title salt, C5H6ClN2+·C5H7O4−, the 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.010 (3) Å. In the the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anion via a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. The ion pairs are further connected via O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to the bc plane. In the layer, the hydrogen glutarate anions self-assemble via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular chain along the c axis. Furthermore, the cations and anions are stacked down along the a axis, forming a three-dimensional network.

A hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2-amino-5-chloropyridine (64 mg, Aldrich) and glutaric acid (66 mg, Merck) were mixed and warmed over a heating magnetic stirrer hotplate for a few minutes. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly at room temperature and brown crystals of the title compound appeared after a few days.
Atoms H1N2 and H2N2 were located from a difference Fourier map and were refined freely. The remaining hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically (N—H = 0.86, O—H = 0.81 and C—H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å) and were refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) or 1.5Ueq(O). 1288 Friedel pairs were used to determine the absolute configuration.
Pyridine and its derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). They are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). We have recently reported the crystal structures of 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium 4-carboxybutanoate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010a) and 2-amino-5-bromopyridinium hydrogen glutarate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010b). In continuation of our studies of pyridinium salts, the
determination of the title compound has been undertaken.The
(Fig. 1) contains a 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation and a hydrogen glutarate anion. The 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.010 (3) Å for atom C2. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the mean plane formed by the hydrogen glutarate anion is 35.55 (13)°. In the 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation, a wide angle [C1—N1—C5= 123.1 (2)°] is subtended at the protonated N1 atom. The backbone conformation of the hydrogen glutarate anion can be described by the two torsion angles C7-C8-C9-C10 of 179.51 (19)° and C6-C7-C8-C9 of 72.4 (3)°. As evident from the torsion angles, the backbone is in a fully extended conformation (Saraswathi et al., 2001) of the two carboxyl groups, one is deprotonated while the other is not.In the crystal packing, the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group (N2) are hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of intermolecular N1—H1···O1 and N2—H1N2···O2 hydrogen bonds, forming a ring motif R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The ion pairs are further connected via N2—H2N2···O2, O3—H1O3···O1 and C4—H4A···O4 (Table 1) hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). The hydrogen glutarate anions self-assemble through O3—H1O3···O1 hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional supramolecular chains along the c axis (Fig. 3). Furthermore, the cations and anions are stacked down along the a axis, forming a 3D-network as shown in Fig. 4. This
is isomorphous to the of 2-amino-5-bromopyridinium hydrogen glutarate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010b).For background to the chemistry of substituted pyridines, see: Katritzky et al. (1996); Pozharski et al. (1997). For related structures, see: Hemamalini & Fun (2010a,b). For the conformation of glutaric acid, see: Saraswathi et al. (2001).

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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. |

Pyridine and its derivatives play an important role in heterocyclic chemistry (Pozharski et al., 1997; Katritzky et al., 1996). They are often involved in hydrogen-bond interactions (Jeffrey & Saenger, 1991; Jeffrey, 1997; Scheiner, 1997). We have recently reported the crystal structures of 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium 4-carboxybutanoate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010a) and 2-amino-5-bromopyridinium hydrogen glutarate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010b). In continuation of our studies of pyridinium salts, the crystal structure determination of the title compound has been undertaken.
The asymmetric unit (Fig. 1) contains a 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation and a hydrogen glutarate anion. The 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.010 (3) Å for atom C2. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the mean plane formed by the hydrogen glutarate anion is 35.55 (13)°. In the 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium cation, a wide angle [C1—N1—C5= 123.1 (2)°] is subtended at the protonated N1 atom. The backbone conformation of the hydrogen glutarate anion can be described by the two torsion angles C7-C8-C9-C10 of 179.51 (19)° and C6-C7-C8-C9 of 72.4 (3)°. As evident from the torsion angles, the backbone is in a fully extended conformation (Saraswathi et al., 2001) of the two carboxyl groups, one is deprotonated while the other is not.
In the crystal packing, the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group (N2) are hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of intermolecular N1—H1···O1 and N2—H1N2···O2 hydrogen bonds, forming a ring motif R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The ion pairs are further connected via N2—H2N2···O2, O3—H1O3···O1 and C4—H4A···O4 (Table 1) hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2). The hydrogen glutarate anions self-assemble through O3—H1O3···O1 hydrogen bonds, forming one-dimensional supramolecular chains along the c axis (Fig. 3). Furthermore, the cations and anions are stacked down along the a axis, forming a 3D-network as shown in Fig. 4. This crystal structure is isomorphous to the crystal structure of 2-amino-5-bromopyridinium hydrogen glutarate (Hemamalini & Fun, 2010b).
