In the title hydrated salt, C5H7N2+·C6H9O4−·H2O, the carboxy H atom is disordered over two positions with equal occupancy. In the crystal, O atoms of the 5-carboxypentanoate anion link the 4-aminopyridinium cations and water molecules into a three-dimensional network via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The is further consolidated by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the anion and the solvent water molecule.

All the reagents used for the preparation of sample are analytical grade and the solutions are prepared using pure deionized water. Solutions of 4 aminopyridine and adipic acid in water (20 ml) each are mixed in molar ratio of one isto two. The solution was uniformly stirred for 30 min and heated at 303 K for 2 h. The resulting solution was allowed to cool slowly to room temperature. Colorless crystals were obtained by slow evaporation after a period of two weeks.
The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group, which is disordered over two sites with equal occupancy, was located in a difference
and allowed to ride on the parent O atom with d(O–H) = 0.82 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5 Ueq(O). The water H atoms and the H atoms bonded to N atoms were isotropically refined with distance restraints of d(O–H)=0.86 (2) Å and d(N–H)=0.88 (1) Å, respectively. The H···H distance in the water molecule was restrained to 1.36 (4)Å. The carbon H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups.4-Aminopyridine (Fampridine) is clinically used in the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and multiple sclerosis. It prolongs action potentials by blocking potassium channels, thereby increases transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction (Judge & Bever, 2006; Schwid et al., 1997; Strupp et al., 2004). Hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the molecular recognition (Goswami & Ghosh, 1997).
The
of the title compound C5H7N2,C6H9O4,H2O contains one 4-aminopyridinium cation, one hydrogen adipate anion and one water molecule. In the hydrogen adipate anion the hydrogen atom of the COOH group is equally disordered (50:50) over two atomic sites. Figure 1 shows the of the title compound C5H7N2,C6H9O4,H2O, showing 30% displacement ellipsoid probability and the atom numbering scheme. Cation link the oxygen ends of two adjacent carboxylate of anions. Bonding of the H atom to both pyridine ring N atom and amine group N atom of 4-aminopyridinium gives an ion to give the resonance structure.The bond lengths and angles of 4-aminopyridinium cation agree with those previously reported (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005). A decrease in the C1–N2 bond length 1.3243 (17) Å is observed. Protonation of N1 of the 4-aminopyridinium results in widening of the C4–N1–C3, 120.41 (13)° which is 115.25 (3)° in the neutral 4-aminopyridinium molecule (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005).
In the molecular packing the title compound is mainly decided by N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds. The 4-aminopyridinium cations and hydrogen adipate anions are linked through two N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming an infinite molecular chain built from R44(23) motif. The adjacent lattice water molecules in the crystal is linked through O1S—H2S···O1 hydrogen bond forming an infinite water chain extending along the [0 1 0] direction and the water chains connects the adjacent anionic-cationic chain building up a three dimensional network thus stabilizing the crystalline solid. The hydrogen bonded network is shown in Figure 2

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. |

4-Aminopyridine (Fampridine) is clinically used in the treatment of Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome and multiple sclerosis. It prolongs action potentials by blocking potassium channels, thereby increases transmitter release at the neuromuscular junction (Judge & Bever, 2006; Schwid et al., 1997; Strupp et al., 2004). Hydrogen bonding plays a key role in the molecular recognition (Goswami & Ghosh, 1997).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound C5H7N2,C6H9O4,H2O contains one 4-aminopyridinium cation, one hydrogen adipate anion and one water molecule. In the hydrogen adipate anion the hydrogen atom of the COOH group is equally disordered (50:50) over two atomic sites. Figure 1 shows the asymmetric unit of the title compound C5H7N2,C6H9O4,H2O, showing 30% displacement ellipsoid probability and the atom numbering scheme. Cation link the oxygen ends of two adjacent carboxylate of anions. Bonding of the H atom to both pyridine ring N atom and amine group N atom of 4-aminopyridinium gives an ion to give the resonance structure.
The bond lengths and angles of 4-aminopyridinium cation agree with those previously reported (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005). A decrease in the C1–N2 bond length 1.3243 (17) Å is observed. Protonation of N1 of the 4-aminopyridinium results in widening of the C4–N1–C3, 120.41 (13)° which is 115.25 (3)° in the neutral 4-aminopyridinium molecule (Chao & Schempp, 1977; Anderson et al., 2005).
In the molecular packing the title compound is mainly decided by N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds. The 4-aminopyridinium cations and hydrogen adipate anions are linked through two N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) forming an infinite molecular chain built from R44(23) motif. The adjacent lattice water molecules in the crystal is linked through O1S—H2S···O1 hydrogen bond forming an infinite water chain extending along the [0 1 0] direction and the water chains connects the adjacent anionic-cationic chain building up a three dimensional network thus stabilizing the crystalline solid. The hydrogen bonded network is shown in Figure 2
