The pyridine N atom of the cation in the title hydrated salt, C13H11N2+·NO3−·H2O, is protonated; the N atom of the NH2 group shows a planar conformation. The former N atom is hydrogen bonded to a water molecule. The amino group is involved in three N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with two neighboring nitrate anions. The water molecule is hydrogen bonded to two adjacent nitrate anions. In the crystal, this results in a layered network.

The title hydrated salt was obtained fortuitously from the reaction between 9-aminoacridine and Fe(NO3)3.9H2O in CH3OH as follows: To a solution of 9-aminoacridine (0.194 g, 1 mmol) in CH3OH (5 ml), a solution of Fe(NO3)3.9H2O (0.202 g, 0.5 mmol) in CH3OH (5 ml) was added at 343 K. After 1 h stirring, the solid was filtered; the crystals were obtained from methanolic solution after a slow evaporation at room temperature.
The hydrogen atom of NH group and those of water molecule were found in difference Fourier synthesis.The NH H atoms were restrained to 0.90 A and the
give good values. The H atoms in the water molecule were refined with a restraint of 1.00 A for a ideal distance OH and obtained acceptable values. The H(C) atom positions were calculated. All hydrogen atoms were refined in isotropic approximation in riding model with the Uiso(H) parameters equal to 1.2 Ueq(Ci), for methyl groups equal to 1.5 Ueq(Cii), where U(Ci) and U(Cii) are respectively the equivalent thermal parameters of the carbon atoms to which corresponding H atoms are bonded.Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 2001); cell

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. |

In a previous work, the crystal structure of 9-aminoacridine hydrochloride monohydrate (Talacki et al., 1974) has been investigated. Here, we report on the crystal structure of title hydrated salt, C13H11N2+.NO3-.H2O (Fig. 1).
In 9-amino-acridinium cation, the heteroatom N1 and the nitrogen atom of NH2 unit (N2) have a sp2 character. The C1—N1—C13 angle is 122.68 (11)°; the fused tricyclic system is essentially planar.
The protonated pyridine nitrogen atom is involving in a positive charge assisted (Gilli et al., 1994) N—H···O hydrogen bond with a neighboring H2O molecule (N1···O4 = 2.7867 (15) Å). Moreover, the water molecule forms two O—H···O hydrogen bonds (O···O = 2.9058 (18) & 2.9147 (18) Å) with two adjacent NO3- anions; also, the weak hydrogen bond O4—H4B···O2 (O4···O2 = 3.2039 (19) Å) may be considered which has not influence on the pattern of crystal packing. The NH2 unit of cation cooperates in three N—H···O hydrogen bonds (N···O = 2.9123 (15), 3.0619 (17) and 3.0662 (16) Å), with two neighboring nitrate anions. Cations, anions and water molecules are hydrogen bonded in a 2-D arrangement (Fig. 2).
