In the monomeric title complex, [Li(C4H3N2O2)(H2O)3], the Li+ cation is coordinated by a pyrazole N atom and three water mol­ecules in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The carboxyl­ate group is deprotonated. The complex mol­ecules are involved in O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming layers stacked along the b axis.

Comment top

The orthorhombic structure of the title compound is composed of dicrete mononuclear molecules in which Li1+ is coordinated by the non-protonated hetero-ring N atom of the ligand molecule and three aqua O atoms at the apices of distorted tetrahedron. The observed Li—O and Li—N bond distances and bond angles reveal usual values (Table 2). The carboxylic group is deprotonated. It makes a dihedral angle of 10.7 (2)° with the almost planar [r.m.s.0.0014 (1) Å] pyrazole ring. Bond distances and bond angles within the latter are close to those observed in the structure of the parent acid (Foces-Foces et al., 2001). Complex molecules form layers parallel to the unit cell ac plane (Fig.2) and are stacked along the b axis (Fig.3). Coordinated water molecules are active as donors and acceptors in an extended hydrogen bond system in which carboxylate O atoms are as acceptors (Table 3). The protonated hetero-ring N atom is as a donor and a carboxylate O atom scts as an acceptor is also observed.

Experimental top

The compound was synthetized using 1 mmol of LiOH (Aldrich) and a small excess over 1 mmol of pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid (Aldrich) dissolved in 50 mL of doubly distilled water. The solution was refluxed with stirring for 5 h and then left to crystallize at room temperature. Colourless single-crystal blocks deposited after a week. They were washed with cold ethanol and dried in the air.

Refinement top

Hydrogen atoms attached to the water molecules and protonated hetero-ring N atom were located in a difference map and refined isotropically. Two H atoms attached to pyrazole C atoms were located at calculated positions and treated as riding on the parent atoms with C—H=0.93 Å.

Special details top

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.
