In the title molecular salt (systematic name: morpholinium 3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trinitrophenolate), C4H10NO+·C6H2N3O8−, two of the nitro groups of the anion are close to parallel with the plane of the benzene ring [dihedral angles = 3.46 (9) and 11.60 (10)°] and one is almost perpendicular [dihedral angle = 82.23 (8)°]. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion. The morpholinium cation has a slightly distorted chair conformation. In the crystal, the components are linked by simple N—H⋯O and trifurcated N—H⋯(O,O,O) hydrogen bonds.

Styphnic acid (2.45 g, 0.01 mol) was dissolved in the minimum quantity of ethanol. Morpholine(0.90 g, 0.01 mol) dissolved in the minimum amount of ethanol was added to styphnic acid solution. The mixture was stirred well for 3 h and kept as such for another 6 h. The mixture was then poured into ice cold water with stirring. The adduct formed was filtered and washed first with water and then with alcohol and dried. The dried adduct was washed several times with ether and recrystallized from ethanol (yield 70–75% mp.481–483 K). Yellow prisms of (I) were obtained by slow evaporation of ethanol at room temperature. The same product was obtained when styphnic acid (0.01 mol) was mixed with excess morpholine (0.03 mol).
Picric acid (1-hydroxy – 2,4,6- trinitrobenzene) forms 1:1 donor –acceptor adducts with φ2=-175.98(5.69), QT=0.5770(0.0019);θ2=2.41(0.17)] of the cation moiety (morpholinium ion) indicate that it has slightly distorted chair conformation.
and in these adducts, the main stabilizing factor is the proton transfer from OH of nitro compound to the nitrogen atom of amine (Radha et al.,1987). Unlike picric acid, styphnic acid (2,4,6-trinitro -1,3-benzene diol) contains two phenolic OH groups and hence the type of adduct formation with and the mode of interaction are to be envisaged. This necessitates the synthesis of the title molecule from styphnic acid and morpholine (tetrahydro – 1,4-oxazine). Single crystal X-ray analysis data clearly indicate that 1:1 adduct (Scheme 1)is formed from styphnic acid and morpholine and the main contributing factor for the formation of the adduct is the proton transfer from phenolic OH of styphnic acid to the nitrogen atom of morpholine. Hydrogen bond (N—H···O) is noticed between cation and anion moieties. Intramolecular hydrogen bond [O—H···O; R11(6) motif] is also observed.

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. |

Picric acid (1-hydroxy – 2,4,6- trinitrobenzene) forms 1:1 donor –acceptor adducts with amines and in these adducts, the main stabilizing factor is the proton transfer from OH of nitro compound to the nitrogen atom of amine (Radha et al.,1987). Unlike picric acid, styphnic acid (2,4,6-trinitro -1,3-benzene diol) contains two phenolic OH groups and hence the type of adduct formation with amines and the mode of interaction are to be envisaged. This necessitates the synthesis of the title molecule from styphnic acid and morpholine (tetrahydro – 1,4-oxazine). Single crystal X-ray analysis data clearly indicate that 1:1 adduct (Scheme 1)is formed from styphnic acid and morpholine and the main contributing factor for the formation of the adduct is the proton transfer from phenolic OH of styphnic acid to the nitrogen atom of morpholine. Hydrogen bond (N—H···O) is noticed between cation and anion moieties. Intramolecular hydrogen bond [O—H···O; R11(6) motif] is also observed. Puckering parameters[(q2 = 0.0243(0.0017), q3=0.5764 (0.0019), φ2=-175.98(5.69), QT=0.5770(0.0019);θ2=2.41(0.17)] of the cation moiety (morpholinium ion) indicate that it has slightly distorted chair conformation.
