In the title salt, C5H7N2+·C10H9O2−, 2-aminopyridine and 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid crystallize together, forming a 2-aminopyridinium–carboxylate supramolecular heterosynthon involving two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which in turn dimerizes to form a four-component supramolecular unit also sustained by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. A C—H⋯π interaction between a pyridine C—H group and the centroid of the phenyl ring of the anion further stabilizes the four-component supramolecular unit. The overall crystal packing also features C—H⋯O interactions.

0.1883 g (2 mmol) of 2-aminopyridine (Acros Organic, 99+%)) and 0.3246 g (2 mmol) of 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (Sigma, 97%) and were dissolved into 3 ml of ethyl acetate (Fisher Scientific, HPLC). Solution was then filtered through a 0.22µm PTFE filter. Filtered solution was finally sealed with Parafilm? and small holes were made to allow solvent to slowly evaporate. The block-shaped crystal (0.33 × 0.33 × 0.22 mm) suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction was collected after one day.
H atoms bonded to N and O atoms were located in a difference map and allowed to ride on their parent atoms in the
cycles. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model.2-Aminopyridine is one of the three positional isomers of aminopyridine and is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (O'Neil, 2006). We have chosen 2-aminopyridine and 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid for cocrystallization experiment as an extension work to our previous study on screening for molecular cocrystals and salts (He et al., 2009).
The
of the title salt contains each one molecule of 2-aminopyridine and 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid in the (Fig. 2). Bis and Zaworotko revealed four types of two-point recognition possibilities in molecular complexes formed between 2-aminopyridine and (Bis & Zaworotko, 2005). They have distinguished the type I–IV (Fig 1) synthons depending on whether the interacting complementary functional groups are the same or different. Type I involves formation of the carboxylic acid homosynthon; type II involves formation of the 2-aminopyridine homosynthon; type III and IV involve formation of 2-aminopyridine-carboxylic acid and 2-aminopyridinium-carboxylate supramolecular heterosynthons, respectively.The title salt features type IV heterosynthon, where the 2-aminopyridinium ion forms a heterosynthon with the carboxylate group of the 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate via two N–H···O (N···O = 2.6255 (15) and 2.7903 (15) Å) hydrogen bonds. Two such heterosynthons related by an inversion center dimerizes to form a four-component supramolecular unit sustained by N–H···O (N···O = 2.8230 (16) Å) hydrogen bonding (Fig. 3). The four-component supramolecular unit is further stabilized by a C–H···π interaction involving the 2-C–H of the pyridine ring and centroid of the phenyl ring of the carboxylate: C···Cg1 (1 - x,1 - y,1 - z) = 3.5464 (15) Å, where Cg1 denotes the centroid of the ring C10–C15 of 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate (Fig. 4). Two prominent C–H···O interactions that involve the 11-C—H and 12-C—H of the phenyl ring of the 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate and O1 of the same molecule at (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2) and (x + 1, y, z), respectively, stabilize the overall crystal structure.

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. |

2-Aminopyridine is one of the three positional isomers of aminopyridine and is widely used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals (O'Neil, 2006). We have chosen 2-aminopyridine and 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid for cocrystallization experiment as an extension work to our previous study on screening for molecular cocrystals and salts (He et al., 2009).
The crystal structure of the title salt contains each one molecule of 2-aminopyridine and 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 2). Bis and Zaworotko revealed four types of two-point recognition possibilities in molecular complexes formed between 2-aminopyridine and carboxylic acids (Bis & Zaworotko, 2005). They have distinguished the type I–IV (Fig 1) synthons depending on whether the interacting complementary functional groups are the same or different. Type I involves formation of the carboxylic acid homosynthon; type II involves formation of the 2-aminopyridine homosynthon; type III and IV involve formation of 2-aminopyridine-carboxylic acid and 2-aminopyridinium-carboxylate supramolecular heterosynthons, respectively.
The title salt features type IV heterosynthon, where the 2-aminopyridinium ion forms a heterosynthon with the carboxylate group of the 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate via two N–H···O (N···O = 2.6255 (15) and 2.7903 (15) Å) hydrogen bonds. Two such heterosynthons related by an inversion center dimerizes to form a four-component supramolecular unit sustained by N–H···O (N···O = 2.8230 (16) Å) hydrogen bonding (Fig. 3). The four-component supramolecular unit is further stabilized by a C–H···π interaction involving the 2-C–H of the pyridine ring and centroid of the phenyl ring of the carboxylate: C···Cg1 (1 - x,1 - y,1 - z) = 3.5464 (15) Å, where Cg1 denotes the centroid of the ring C10–C15 of 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate (Fig. 4). Two prominent C–H···O interactions that involve the 11-C—H and 12-C—H of the phenyl ring of the 1-phenylcyclopropane-1-carboxylate and O1 of the same molecule at (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2) and (x + 1, y, z), respectively, stabilize the overall crystal structure.
