In the title inner salt, C16H20N2O8·H2O, two of four carboxyl groups are deprotonated, while the two imine groups are protonated. The two iminodiacetate groups are located on the same side of the benzene ring plane. Extensive intermolecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur in the crystal.

To a mixture of bromoacetic acid (41.816 g, 0.30 mol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (12.627 g, 0.30 mol) in water (100 ml) containing phenolphthalein was added m-xylenediamine (10.0 g, 73.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 70°C for 3 h and during the reaction, pH was maintained at 10 by addition of lithium hydroxide monohydrate (12.627 g, 0.30 mol). After the mixture cooled to ambient temperature, the solution was made acidic (pH = 1) by addition of conc. HCl to give white powder. Yield: 24.3 g (84%).
0.0194 g (0.05 mmol) of the white powder was added 0.5 ml 0.1 mol/L KOH solution, then 5 ml sub-boiled water was added to give a clear solution. Gradually add 0.1 mol/L HNO3, to adjust the pH of the solution to 5. The solution was allowed to stand at room temperature for 3 days. Colorless block crystals suitable for crystal diffraction were obtained.
H atoms bonded to N atoms were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. Other H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å and O—H = 0.85 Å; Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,O). As no significant
Friedels pairs were merged.Data collection: APEX2 (Bruker, 2001); cell

Experimental. Anal. Calcd for C16H22N2O9: C, 49.73; H, 5.64; N, 7.34%. Found: C, 49.69; H, 5.64; N, 7.34%. 1H NMR (D2O in the presence of K2CO3): d (p.p.m.) = 3.31 (8H, s, NCH2CO2), 3.95 (4H, s, PhCH2N), 7.36 – 7.41 (4H, m, PhH). |
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. |

The title compound tends to form dinuclear complexes with transition metal ions. The dinuclear complexes are capable for dioxygen activation (Furutachi et al., 2003; Zhao et al., 2008a). Structures of their dinuclear complexes have been reported. As a part of serial structural investigation of dioxygen activation by dinuclear complexes, the title compound was prepared in the laboratory and its X-ray structure is presented here.
The molecular structure of the title compound is shown in Fig.1. The compound is not symmetry as the scheme. The asymmetric moiety contains a whole molecule. There are two protons bind to two carboxylate group (O4 and O5). Two protons bind to the imino nitrogen atom N1 and N2 with N—H distances of 0.960 (27) and 0.968 (27)Å respectively, which is 0.1 Å longer than O—H distances (0.851 (2) Å. Different from its zinc(II) complex, the two iminodiacetic moiety are in the opposite side with respect to the central benzyl ring (Zhao et al., 2008a). The phenyl group, [C1/C2/C3/C4/C5/C6]and methylene C7 and C12 are in the same plane, but the N1/C7/C1 and N2/C12/C3 planes are almost perpendicular to the phenyl plane with dihedral angle of 89.4 (3) and 88.6 (3)° respectively, which is comparable to those in N-(p-nitrobenzyl)iminodiacetic acid (Sánchez-Moreno et al., 2003), but quite different from the almost coplanar geometry in N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid (Choquesillo-Lazarte et al., 2002). N1/C7/C1 and N2/C12/C3 planes have a dihydral angle of 59.7 (1)°. The bond lengths and angles are in normal ranges and comparable to the above mentioned compounds and its complex (Zhao et al., 2008a; Zhao et al., 2008b). In the compound, the two carboxylate for both iminoaiacetic group are far away with C(9)—C(11) and C(14)—C(16) diantances at 4.089 (3) and 4.667 (3)Å respectively. There are intermolecular H-bonds in the compound. No intramolecular H-bond found in the compound(Fig.2).This is quite different from N-(p-nitrobenzyl) iminodiacetic acid (Sánchez-Moreno et al., 2003) and N-(2-pyridylmethyl)iminodiacetic acid (Choquesillo-Lazarte et al., 2002). In these literatures, there is a proton binding to the imino nitrogen atom. There are N—H···O intramolecular H-bonds. In the title compound, carboxyalte O6/C14/O5 from other molecule links the molecules via O1 and N2 through H—bond to form a pseudo 15–membered ring [H5a/O5/C14/O6/H2a/N2/C12/C3/C2/C1/C7/N1/C10/C11/O1] (Fig.2). O5—H5A···O1ii has the shortest distance of 2.472 (3)Å in all H—bonds. N—H···O H—bond is much weaker than corresponding O—H···O H—bond. It is the intermolecular H-bonds that bind adjacent molecules as shown in Fig. 3 and table 2.
