A mixture of R-propane-1,2-diamine (1.0 mmol), 4-methoxybenzoic acid (2.0 mmol) and 20 ml ethanol were added into a 50 ml flask and refluxed for 5 h, then cooled and filtrated. The solution was evaporated slowly in the air. Colorless block crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after one week. The R-propane-1,2-diamine turned into racemic amine in the heating process.
All H atoms attached to C atoms were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.98 (methine), 0.97 (methylene), 0.96 (methyl) and 0.93 Å (aromatic), Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C except methyl) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C of methyl). The amino H atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined in riding mode with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

Molecular cocrystals are becoming increasingly important within the pharmaceutical industry as an alternative source of new solid crystalline materials with the potential to provide optimal physical properties whilst retaining the chemical properties of the cocrystal components (Almarsson & Zaworotko, 2004; Blagden et al., 2008; Vishweshwar et al., 2006). Physicochemical properties such as the melting point, stability and solubility of an active pharmaceutical ingredient can be tuned through cocrystal formulation (Kapildev et al., 2011; Schultheiss & Newman, 2009). Cocrystal synthesis often relies on the acid-amide H-bonds interactions. Herein, we report the crystal structure of the title compound, propane-1,2-diaminium di-4-methoxybenzoate.
The asymmetric unit is composed of two 4-methoxybenzoate anions and one propane-1,2-diaminium cation (Fig. 1). Both the amine N atoms were protonated. And the carboxyl groups were deprotonated. The geometric parameters of the title compound are in the normal range.
In the crystal structure, all the amino H atoms are involved in N—H···O hydrogen bonds with the carboxyl O atoms (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
