A proton is transferred from the nitric acid to the N atom of 2-cyanoquinoline during crystallization, resulting in the formation of the title salt, C10H7N2+·NO3−. The quinolinium ring system is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (3) Å. In the crystal, a very asymmetric bifurcated N—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bond to two O atoms of an adjacent nitrate anion occurs, generating an R21(4) ring motif. C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the ions into sheets stacking along the a axis.

A few drops of nitric acid were added to a hot methanol solution (20 ml) of quinoline-2-carbonitrile (39 mg, Aldrich) which had been warmed over a magnetic stirrer hotplate for a few minutes. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. Colourless plates of (I) appeared after a few days.
All H atoms were located from a difference Fourier map. H1N1 was fixed at its found position with bond length of N—H being 0.9481 Å. The remaining H atoms were refined freely with the bond lengths of C—H being 0.943 (17) to 0.998 (17) Å.
Recently, hydrogen-bonding patterns involving quinoline and its derivatives with organic acid have been investigated (Loh at al., 2010a,b; Loh et al., 2010). Syntheses of the quinoline derivatives were discussed earlier (Sasaki et al., 1998; Reux et al., 2009). Quinolines and their derivatives are very important compounds because of their wide occurrence in natural products (Morimoto et al., 1991; Michael, 1997) and biologically active compounds (Markees et al., 1970; Campbell et al., 1988). Heterocyclic molecules containing cyano group are useful as drug intermediates. Herein we report the synthesis of 2-cyanoquinolin-1-ium nitrate.
The
of the title compound (Fig. 1) consists of one 2-cyanoquinolin-1-ium cation (C1–C10/N1/N2) and one nitrate anion (N3/O1–O3). One proton is transferred from the hydroxyl group of nitrate to the atom N1 of 2-cyanoquinoline during the crystallization, resulting in the formation of salt. The quinoline ring system (C1–C9/N1) is approximately planar with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (3) Å at atom C6. The R21(4) ring motif (Fig. 1; Bernstein et al., 1995) indicates a bifurcated hydrogen bond from N1–H1N1 to the two acceptors (O1/O3). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within the normal ranges and are comparable to the related structures (Loh et al., 2010a,b; Loh et al., 2010).In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), intermolecular N1—H1N1···O1, N1—H1N1···O3, C5—H5A···O3, C7—H7A···O2 and C8—H8A···O2 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into two-dimensional planes stacking along the a axis.

Experimental. The crystal was placed in the cold stream of an Oxford Cryosystems Cobra open-flow nitrogen cryostat (Cosier & Glazer, 1986) operating at 100.0 (1) K. |
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. |

Recently, hydrogen-bonding patterns involving quinoline and its derivatives with organic acid have been investigated (Loh at al., 2010a,b; Loh et al., 2010). Syntheses of the quinoline derivatives were discussed earlier (Sasaki et al., 1998; Reux et al., 2009). Quinolines and their derivatives are very important compounds because of their wide occurrence in natural products (Morimoto et al., 1991; Michael, 1997) and biologically active compounds (Markees et al., 1970; Campbell et al., 1988). Heterocyclic molecules containing cyano group are useful as drug intermediates. Herein we report the synthesis of 2-cyanoquinolin-1-ium nitrate.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) consists of one 2-cyanoquinolin-1-ium cation (C1–C10/N1/N2) and one nitrate anion (N3/O1–O3). One proton is transferred from the hydroxyl group of nitrate to the atom N1 of 2-cyanoquinoline during the crystallization, resulting in the formation of salt. The quinoline ring system (C1–C9/N1) is approximately planar with a maximum deviation of 0.013 (3) Å at atom C6. The R21(4) ring motif (Fig. 1; Bernstein et al., 1995) indicates a bifurcated hydrogen bond from N1–H1N1 to the two acceptors (O1/O3). Bond lengths (Allen et al., 1987) and angles are within the normal ranges and are comparable to the related structures (Loh et al., 2010a,b; Loh et al., 2010).
In the crystal packing (Fig. 2), intermolecular N1—H1N1···O1, N1—H1N1···O3, C5—H5A···O3, C7—H7A···O2 and C8—H8A···O2 hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link the molecules into two-dimensional planes stacking along the a axis.
