In the title salt, C14H14N3+·NO3, the cation is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.015 Å), implying significant conjugation of the lone pair of the tertiary amino group N atom with the aromatic ring system. In the extended structure, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into infinite chains of alternating cations and anions propagating along the b-axis direction. Aromatic ππ stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5773 (12) and 3.5889 (12) Å may help to consolidate the packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (39.2%), H⋯O/O⋯H (31.6%), H⋯C/C⋯H (10.3%) and C⋯C (9.1%) inter­actions.

1. Chemical context

1,10-Phenanthroline and its derivatives are widely used in medicinal, catalysis, materials and coordination chemistry (e.g., Queffelec et al., 2024View full citation; Krawiec et al., 2005View full citation; Kumar et al., 2022View full citation). Polyaromatic rings in this class of organic compounds possess rigidity and robustness, which may be significant in the design of functional materials such as catalysts, luminescent coordination scaffolds, supra­molecular aggregates, sensors and theranostics. 1,10-Phenanthroline derivatives are popular ligands in coordination chemistry due to their strong affinities for a wide range of metals with various oxidation states (Naithani et al., 2023View full citation). Substitution of the aromatic ring of 1,10-phenanthroline can be used as an important synthetic strategy towards new materials (Figueiredo et al., 2022View full citation; Tsvetkov et al., 2025View full citation).

[Scheme 1]

As part of our studies in this area, we now report the synthesis and structure of the title salt, C14H14N3+·NO3 (I).

2. Structural commentary

The asymmetric unit of (I), which crystallizes in space group P21/n, consists of one di­methyl­amino­phenanthroline cation and one nitrate counter ion (Fig. 1[link]). The phenanthroline ring system is almost planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.0125 Å. Atoms N3, C13 and C14 are displaced by −0.035 (2), −0.001 (3) and −0.011 (3) Å, respectively, away from the best least-squares plane of the phenanthroline ring system. Evidence of their near co-planarity with the ring system is further supported by the C13—N3—C10—N2 [–178.5 (2)°] and C14—N3—C10—N2 [–2.6 (3)°] torsion angles. The C1—N1—C12 [123.41 (18)°] bond angle at the protonated N1 atom of the ring system is significantly enlarged compared to the unprotonated C10—N2—C11 [117.80 (17)°] bond angle, which is consistent with previous studies, e.g., Hensen et al. (2000View full citation) and Büyükekşi et al. (2019View full citation). The N1—C1 [1.322 (3) Å] and N1—C12 [1.353 (2) Å] bond lengths of the protonated N1 atom are similar to the N2—C10 [1.336 (2) Å] and N2—C11 [1.345 (2) Å] bonds of the non-protonated N2 atom. In the pendant di­methyl­amino group, the N3—C10 [1.357 (3) Å] bond length is significantly shorter than N3—C13 [1.453 (3) Å] and N3—C14 [1.444 (3) Å] bonds, presumably because of resonance-assisted π-conjugation, where the N atom of the di­methyl­amino group acts as a strong electron donor to the aromatic ring system. On the other hand, the C10—N3—C13 [123.3 (2)°] and C14—N3—C13 [115.69 (19)°] bond angles are significantly enlarged and narrowed according to the bond angle of C10—N3—C14 [120.86 (18)°], respectively. In the nitrate counter-ion, the N4—O3 [1.204 (3) Å] bond is significantly shorter than N4—O1 [1.251 (3) Å] and N4—O2 [1.245 (3) Å], possibly due to hydrogen bonding and crystal packing effects, where O1 acts as hydrogen-bond acceptor inter­acting with the protonated N1 atom of the phenanthroline ring system. The O2—N4—O1 [117.5 (2)°] bond angle is significantly narrower than O3—N4—O1 [120.6 (3)°] and O3—N4—O2 [121.8 (3)°].

3. Supra­molecular features

In the extended structure, the N1—H1⋯O1 hydrogen bond (Table 1[link]) links the cation to the anion (Fig. 2[link]) and a C5—H5⋯O3 hydrogen bond (Table 2[link]) links the ion pairs into infinite chains propagating along the b-axis direction (Fig. 2[link]). Further, ππ stacking inter­actions between the A (N1/C1–C4/C12) and B (N2/C7–C11) rings and also between the B and C (C4–C12) rings of the phenanthroline ring system with centroid–to–centroid distances of 3.5773 (12) Å [α = 1.34 (10)° and slippage = 1.212 Å] and 3.5889 (12) Å [α = 0.84 (9)° and slippage = 1.198 Å], respectively, help to consolidate the packing. No C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions are observed.

The inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystal were visualized by carrying out the Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis using CrystalExplorer 17.5 (Spackman et al., 2021View full citation). Fig. 3[link] shows the Hirshfeld surface with the red spots corresponding to the hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors noted above. The overall two-dimensional fingerprint plot is shown in Fig. 4[link]a and those delineated into the different contact types are illustrated in Fig. 4[link] (b)–(h), respectively. According to the two-dimensional fingerprint plots the H⋯H, H⋯O/O⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and C⋯C contacts make the most significant contributions to the HS, at 39.2%, 31.6%, 10.3% and 9.1%, respectively.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

2-Bromo-1,10-phenanthroline (2.59 g, 10 mmol) and Cs2CO3 (3.25 g, 10 mmol) were dissolved in N,N-di­methyl­formide (DMF) (75 ml), and the resulting mixture was heated with stirring at 413 K for 6 h (Fig. 5[link]). After completion of the reaction, the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate and water. The neutral mol­ecule was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction after concentration, giving a yield of 60%. An equimolar amount of 1 M aqueous HNO3 was added dropwise, with stirring, to an ethano­lic solution and the resulting solution was left to crystallize at room temperature. Colorless crystals of (I) were obtained after 6 days. Yield: 65%. Analysis (%) for C14H14N4O3, calculated (obtained): C 58.74 (58.70), H 4.93 (4.89), N 19.57 (19.52). 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6, ppm): δ 3.19 (6H, NMe2), 7.57–9.20 (7H). 13C{1H} NMR (100 MHz, DMSO-d6, ppm): δ 42.3, 111.7, 122.7, 123.8, 125.5, 126.9, 128.4, 138.2, 143.5, 144.9, 146.1, 150.4, 157.3.

6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2[link]. The N-bound H atom was located from a difference-Fourier map and refined isotropically. The C-bound H-atom positions were calculated geometrically at distances of 0.93–0.96 Å and refined using a riding model by applying the constraint Uiso(H) = k × Ueq (C), where k = 1.2 for aromatic CH hydrogen atoms and k = 1.5 for methyl hydrogen atoms.

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.
