In the crystal structure of the title salt, C22H21N2O6+·Br·2H2O, pairs of betaine mol­ecules are bridged by protons (the bridging proton is disordered), forming strong and symmetrical O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to an infinite chain along the b axis. The water mol­ecules are linked to the betaine mol­ecule and the bromide ion through O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Br inter­actions. The central ring, located on an inversion centre, makes dihedral angles of 1.2 (2)° with the outer rings. One of the carboxylic acid groups is deprotonated.

The design and synthesis of substrates for the ultimate preparation of supramolecular species has received much attention in recent years. Double betaines are a class of zwitterionic compounds possessing pairs of carboxylate groups and quaternary ammonium or pyridinium moieties. The carboxylate group is basic, so betaines are good proton acceptors that easily form complexes with Bronsted acids.

The synthesis and crystal structure of 1:2 salt of 1,4-bis(3-picolyloxyl)benzene-N,N'– diacetic acid with HBr has been reported, here we will describe the preparation and structure of the 1:1 salt.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, the phenylene ring of the title double betaine is located at an inversion center, making a dihedra angle of 1.2 degree. Pairs of the betaine molecules are bridged by protons to form strong and symmetrical O···O hydrogen bonds, leading to an infinite chain. The bromide ion is connected to the betaine molecule through hydrogen bonding at O1W—H1WB···Br1 152.2 °, O1W···Br1 3.491 (4) Å, O1W—H1WA···O2 3.037 (4) Å,O1W···O2 154.5 °(Fig. 1).

Experimental top

1,4-bis(3-Picolyloxyl)benzene (2.92 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in methanol (30 ml) to give a light yellow solution, to which ethyl bromoacetate (3 ml, 27 mmol, Aldrich) was added. The resulting solution was refluxed for 3 days. After the methanol was removed by rotary evaporation under reduced pressure, hydrobromic acid (12.5 ml, 4.8% (w/v)) was added to the yellow residue. The mixture was refluxed for 24 h to give a yellow solution. Removal of solvent afforded a light yellow powdery product. Yield: 46%. It was re-crystallized in water to obtain suitable single crystals for X-ray analysis.

Refinement top

H atoms in water molecule were located in a difference map. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(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.
