(Received 11 December 2013; accepted 13 December 2013; online 21 December 2013)

The title compound, C10H12O8, a prospective raw material for colourless polyimides which are applied to electronic and microelectronic devices, lies about an inversion centre and the cyclo­hexane ring adopts a chair conformation. Two crystallographycally independent carb­oxy­lic acid groups on adjacent C atoms are in equatorial positions, resulting in a mutually trans conformation. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds around an inversion centre and a threefold rotoinversion axis, respectively, form an inversion dimer with an R22(8) motif and a trimer with an R33(12) motif.

Comment top

Aromatic polyimides (PI) are one of the most important heat-resistant polymeric materials in various electronic applications for their reliable combined properties: considerably high glass transition temperatures (Tg), non-flammability, and good dielectric and mechanical properties (Ando et al., 2010). However, intensive coloration of conventional PI films, which arises from charge-transfer (CT) interactions (Hasegawa & Horie, 2001), often disturbs their applications as optical materials. A recent strong demand is to replace inorganic glass substrates in flat panel displays (300–700 µm thick) by plastic substrates (< 100 µm thick), thereby the displays become drastically light and flexible. However, it is difficult to obtain the substrate materials simultaneously possessing excellent combined properties, i.e., optical transparency, heat resistance, dimensional stability against thermal cycles undergoing in the device fabrication process, flexibility, and processability. The most effective strategy for completely erasing the coloration is to inhibit the CT interactions by using non-aromatic (cycloaliphatic) monomers either in tetracarboxylic dianhydride or diamine components. For this purpose, we previously investigated the steric structures of hydrogenated pyromellitic dianhydride isomers, i.e., 1S,2R,4S,5R-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (H-PMDA) (Uchida et al., 2003) and 1R,2S,4S,5R-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (H"-PMDA) (Uchida et al., 2012). H"-PMDA showed much higher reactivity with diamines than H-PMDA and provided highly flexible colourless PI films with significantly improved solution-processability while keeping very high Tgs (Hasegawa et al., 2007, 2013). The results are based on a peculiar steric structure of H"-PMDA. Unfortunately, neither H-PMDA nor H"-PMDA led to PI films with low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) required for the excellent dimensional stability, probably owing to their non-linear/non-planar steric structures. An additional H-PMDA isomer, i.e., 1S,2S,4R,5R-cyclohexanetetracarboxylic dianhydride (H'-PMDA) can be expected to derive a novel low-CTE colourless PI system. The present work reports a crystal structure of a hydrolyzed compound of H'-PMDA.

Experimental top

The title compound, (I), was synthesized as follows. Pyromellitic dianhydride was first hydrolyzed with a NaOH aqueous solution. The pyromellitic acid tetrasodium salt formed was hydrogenated in a high-pressure hydrogen atmosphere at 160 °C in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst. After hydrogenation was completed, the solution was additionally heated at a precisely controlled temperature for several hours, and cooled to room temperature. The solution was neutralized by slowly adding conc. HCl. The white precipitate formed was collected by filtration, recrystallized from water, and dried in vacuum at 80 °C for 5 h to obtain crystals of (I) suitable for X-ray analysis.

Refinement top

All H atoms were observable in a difference Fourier map. H atoms on O atoms were refined freely [O—H = 0.81 (3) and 0.94 (3) Å]. Other H atoms were placed in calculated positions with C—H = 0.97–0.98 Å, and allowed to ride on their carrier atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
