In the title salt, C5H8N3+·C6H7O2−, the pyridine N atom of the 2,3-diaminopyridine molecule is protonated. The 2,3-diaminopyridinium cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.068 (2) Å for one of the amino N atoms. The sorbate anion adopts an extended conformation. In the the protonated N atom and one of the two amino-group H atoms are hydrogen bonded to the sorbate anion through a pair of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. The ion pairs are further connected via intermolecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming two-dimensional networks parallel to (100).

A hot methanol solution (20 ml) of 2,3-diaminopyridine (59 mg, Aldrich) and sorbic acid (56 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 crystals of the title compound appeared after a few days.
All H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely [C–H = 0.94 (2)–1.04 (2) Å and N–H = 0.86 (2)–1.00 (2) Å].
Non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, π···π staking and the C—H···π interactions, play important roles in determining the conformation of molecules, crystal packing and molecular assembly in an organized supramolecular structure (Desiraju, 1995; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001; Biradha & Fujita, 2002). Sorbic acid (2,4-hexadienoic acid) exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties (Martindale, 1996) and has been used to prevent spoilage of syrup by moulds (Richards, 1972). The of sorbic acid (Cox, 1994), 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-sorbic acid (Thanigaimani et al., 2007) and trimethoprim sorbate (Raj et al., 2003) have been reported in the literature. Since our aim is to study some interesting hydrogen-bonding interactions, the of the title compound is presented herein.
The
of the title compound, (Fig 1), contains one 2,3-diaminopyridinium cation and one sorbate anion. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal. The 2,3-diaminopyridinium cation is planar with a maximum deviation of 0.068 (2) Å for atom N3. Protonation of atom N1 has resulted in a slight increase in the magnitude of angle C1—N1—C5 [122.86 (16)°]. The sorbic acid moiety is in the EE configuration. The extended conformation of the sorbic acid can be described by the torsion angles C6-C7-C8-C9 = -173.77 (16)°, C7-C8-C9-C10 = 176.15 (18)°, C8-C9-C10-C11 = -176.92 (18)° and O2-C6-C7-C8 = 171.14 (16)°. This conformation is similar to that found in the trimethoprim sorbate dihydrate (Raj et al., 2003).In the
(Fig. 2), the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group N atom (N2) is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of N1—H1N1···O2 and N2—H2N2···O1 hydrogen bonds forming a ring motif R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The ion pairs are further connected via N2—H1N2···O2i; N3—H1N3···O2i; N3—H2N3···O1ii and C10—H10···O1iii hydrogen bonds (see Table 1 for symmetry codes) forming two-dimensional networks parallel to (100).For details of non-covalent interactions, see: Desiraju (1995); Moulton & Zaworotko (2001); Biradha & Fujita (2002).

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. |

Non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, π···π staking and the C—H···π interactions, play important roles in determining the conformation of molecules, crystal packing and molecular assembly in an organized supramolecular structure (Desiraju, 1995; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001; Biradha & Fujita, 2002). Sorbic acid (2,4-hexadienoic acid) exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties (Martindale, 1996) and has been used to prevent spoilage of syrup by moulds (Richards, 1972). The crystal structure of sorbic acid (Cox, 1994), 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine-sorbic acid (Thanigaimani et al., 2007) and trimethoprim sorbate (Raj et al., 2003) have been reported in the literature. Since our aim is to study some interesting hydrogen-bonding interactions, the crystal structure of the title compound is presented herein.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (Fig 1), contains one 2,3-diaminopyridinium cation and one sorbate anion. The bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are normal. The 2,3-diaminopyridinium cation is planar with a maximum deviation of 0.068 (2) Å for atom N3. Protonation of atom N1 has resulted in a slight increase in the magnitude of angle C1—N1—C5 [122.86 (16)°]. The sorbic acid moiety is in the EE configuration. The extended conformation of the sorbic acid can be described by the torsion angles C6-C7-C8-C9 = -173.77 (16)°, C7-C8-C9-C10 = 176.15 (18)°, C8-C9-C10-C11 = -176.92 (18)° and O2-C6-C7-C8 = 171.14 (16)°. This conformation is similar to that found in the trimethoprim sorbate dihydrate (Raj et al., 2003).
In the crystal structure, (Fig. 2), the protonated N1 atom and the 2-amino group N atom (N2) is hydrogen-bonded to the carboxylate oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) via a pair of N1—H1N1···O2 and N2—H2N2···O1 hydrogen bonds forming a ring motif R22(8) (Bernstein et al., 1995). The ion pairs are further connected via N2—H1N2···O2i; N3—H1N3···O2i; N3—H2N3···O1ii and C10—H10···O1iii hydrogen bonds (see Table 1 for symmetry codes) forming two-dimensional networks parallel to (100).
