Chemical bonding and all intermolecular interactions in the highly insoluble carbonate salt of a 2,6-pyridine-bis(iminoguanidine), (PyBIGH2)(CO3)(H2O)4, recently employed in the direct air capture of CO2 via crystallization, have been analyzed within the framework of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) based on the experimental electron density derived from X-ray diffraction data obtained at 20 K. Accurate hydrogen positions were included based on an analogous neutron diffraction study at 100 K. Topological features of the covalent bonds demonstrate the presence of multiple bonds of various orders within the PyBIGH22+ cation. Strong hydrogen bonds define ribbons comprising carbonate anions and water molecules. These ribbons are linked to stacks of essentially planar dications via hydrogen bonds from the guanidinium moieties and an additional one to the pyridine nitro­gen. The linking hydrogen bonds are approximately perpendicular to the anion–water ribbons. The observation of these putative interactions provided motivation to characterize them by topological analysis of the total electron density. Thus, all hydrogen bonds have been characterized by the properties of their (3,−1) bond critical points. Weaker interactions between the PyBIGH22+ cations have similarly been characterized. Integrated atomic charges are also reported. A small amount of cocrystallized hydroxide ion (∼2%) was also detected in both the X-ray and neutron data, and included in the multipole model for the electron-density refinement. The small amount of additional H+ required for charge balance was not detected in either the X-ray or the neutron data. The results are discussed in the context of the unusually low aqueous solubility of (PyBIGH2)(CO3)(H2O)4 and its ability to sequester atmospheric CO2.

1. Introduction

Given the strong connection between climate change and the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, developing new methods to reduce their concentration in the air and alleviate global warming is of major importance. Besides curbing the use of fossil fuels, one strategy for limiting the increase in the atmospheric CO­2 concentration is based on carbon capture and storage (CCS) (Lackner, 2003[Lackner, K. S. (2003). Science, 300, 1677-1678.]; Reiner, 2016[Reiner, D. M. (2016). Nat. Energ. 1, 7.]). Significant progress has been made in employing CCS at point sources of CO2 emission, such as coal- or gas-fired power plants. However, this approach does not address the problem of diffuse sources of CO­2, such as households and transportation, which are responsible for approximately 50% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Most climate change mitigation scenarios aiming to limit global warming to 2°C or less now include implementation of negative emissions technologies (NETs) that target net reductions of the atmospheric CO2 concentration, currently ∼408 p.p.m. One promising approach among various NETs under consideration is direct air capture (DAC), a process that removes CO2 from the air by engineered chemical reactions (Keith, 2009[Keith, D. W. (2009). Science, 325, 1654-1655.]; Lackner et al., 2012[Lackner, K. S., Brennan, S., Matter, J. M., Park, A. H. A., Wright, A. & van der Zwaan, B. (2012). Proc. Natl Acad. Sci. USA, 109, 13156-13162.]; Sanz-Pérez et al., 2016[Sanz-Pérez, E. S., Murdock, C. R., Didas, S. A. & Jones, C. W. (2016). Chem. Rev. 116, 11840-11876.]; Keith et al., 2018[Keith, D. W., Holmes, G., St, Angelo, D. & Heidel, K. (2018). Joule, 2, 1573-1594.]).

In a recent study, an aqueous solution of a 2,6-pyridine-bis(iminoguanidine), PyBIG [the displayed resonance form is based on the reported crystal structure (Seipp et al., 2017[Seipp, C. A., Williams, N. J., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2017). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 1042-1045.]; Brethomé et al., 2018[Brethomé, F. M., Williams, N. J., Seipp, C. A., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2018). Nat. Energ. 3, 553-559.])], was found to efficiently absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and convert it into the crystalline carbonate salt (PyBIGH2)(CO3)(H2O)4 (Seipp et al., 2017[Seipp, C. A., Williams, N. J., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2017). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 1042-1045.]; Brethomé et al., 2018[Brethomé, F. M., Williams, N. J., Seipp, C. A., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2018). Nat. Energ. 3, 553-559.]). The main driver for this reaction is the extremely low aqueous solubility of the carbonate salt (Ksp = 1.0 × 10−9), comparable to CaCO3 (3.7–8.7 × 10−9), which pushes the overall equilibrium towards the carbonate formation despite the very low concentration of CO2 in the air. After filtration, crystalline (PyBIGH2)(CO­3)(H2O)4 is mildly heated at 120°C to release the CO2 (which can be sent to storage) and regenerate the PyBIG sorbent for reuse in another DAC cycle. Thus, this crystallization-based approach offers the prospect for energy-efficient DAC technology, provided the synthesis of PyBIG and the overall CO2 capture process can be optimized and scaled up cost effectively.[link]

[Scheme 1]

The previously reported X-ray crystal structure of (PyBIGH2)(CO­3)(H2O)4 showed that the hydrated carbonate salt comprises an elaborate hydrogen-bonded network involving the carbonate anion, guanidinium cations, water molecules and the pyridine N atom (Seipp et al., 2017[Seipp, C. A., Williams, N. J., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2017). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 1042-1045.]; Brethomé et al., 2018[Brethomé, F. M., Williams, N. J., Seipp, C. A., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2018). Nat. Energ. 3, 553-559.]). However, the precise geometrical parameters and energetics of the hydrogen bonds and other intermolecular interactions present in this structure, which presumably play important roles in the unusually low aqueous solubility of (PyBIGH2)(CO­3)(H2O)4, have yet to be determined. To this end, as reported in this article, we have determined precisely all hydrogen positions from neutron diffraction data, which provides an accurate geometrical description of all the hydrogen bonds present. The interaction energies of these hydrogen bonds have been estimated from a topological analysis of the electron density, as determined from extremely accurate high-resolution X-ray diffraction data. At the same time, we have characterized all of the covalent bonds and the integrated atomic charges within the framework of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) (Bader, 1994[Bader, R. F. W. (1994). In Atoms in Molecules: A Quantum Theory. Oxford University Press.]).

2.1. Data collection and reduction

2.1.1. X-ray experiment

Colorless crystals of (PyBIGH2)(CO3)(H2O)4 were obtained by slow reaction of an aqueous solution of PyBIG with atmospheric CO2. A single crystal (0.31 × 0.20 × 0.15 mm) was subsequently mounted with oil on top of a thin-walled glass capillary, and cooled to 20 K with an open-flow helium cryostat (Hardie et al., 1998[Hardie, M. J., Kirschbaum, K., Martin, A. & Pinkerton, A. A. (1998). J. Appl. Cryst. 31, 815-817.]; Kirschbaum et al., 1999[Kirschbaum, K., Martin, A., Parrish, D. A. & Pinkerton, A. A. (1999). J. Phys. Condens. Matter, 11, 4483-4490.]). X-ray diffraction measurements were performed with a Rigaku diffractometer equipped with a Mo rotating anode generator operating at 50 kV and 300 mA (ULTRAX-18 Mo Kα, curved graphite monochromator) and using a RAPID-II cylindrical image-plate detector. To obtain highly redundant data, runs collecting 30 × 6° ω scans were performed at χ = 0°, ϕ = 0 and 180°, and at χ = 40°, ϕ = 0, 90, 180 and 270°. These runs were augmented by collecting an analogous set with ω offset by 3°. Thus, frames were overlapped by a half-frame width to improve scaling and allow for the omission of partial and overlapping reflections. An exposure time of 180 s per image was chosen to maximize he scattering power and avoid saturation of the strongest reflections.

The collected data were indexed and reflection positions predicted using the program HKL2000 (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997[Otwinowski, Z. & Minor, W. (1997). In Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 276, pp. 307-326. Academic Press.]). Data were integrated with the program VIIPP, applying an image-plate flood-field correction, and with background and reflection profiles averaged over the whole data set, as described previously (Zhurova et al., 1999[Zhurova, E. A., Zhurov, V. V. & Tanaka, K. (1999). Acta Cryst. B55, 917-922.], 2008[Zhurov, V. V., Zhurova, E. A. & Pinkerton, A. A. (2008). J. Appl. Cryst. 41, 340-349.]; Zhurov & Pinkerton, 2013[Zhurov, V. V. & Pinkerton, A. A. (2013). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 639, 1969-1978.]). Partial and overlapped reflections were rejected during the integration. The effects of absorption (μ = 0.122 mm−1) and thermal diffuse scattering at 20 K were considered to be negligible. Additional outliers were identified and removed manually through equivalence comparison to minimize outlier contamination. This is particularly important for removing errors from multiple scattering, and for identifying previously unidentified partial and overlapping reflections. This resulted in 1.41% of measured data (2730 out of 193 867 reflections) being additionally rejected prior to merging and scaling of the data in the space group [P\overline 1] with the program SORTAV (Blessing, 1995[Blessing, R. H. (1995). Acta Cryst. A51, 33-38.], 1987[Blessing, R. H. (1987). Crystallogr. Rev. 1, 3-58.], 1997[Blessing, R. H. (1997). J. Appl. Cryst. 30, 421-426.]). Corrections of reflection intensities for λ/2 contamination were also made (Kirschbaum et al., 1997[Kirschbaum, K., Martin, A. & Pinkerton, A. A. (1997). J. Appl. Cryst. 30, 514-516.]; Gianopoulos et al., 2017[Gianopoulos, C. G., Chua, Z., Zhurov, V. V. & Pinkerton, A. A. (2017). J. Appl. Cryst. 50, 643-646.]). Other experimental details are listed in Table 1[link].

2.1.2. Neutron experiment

Data from a single-crystal plate (2.01 × 1.50 × 0.37 mm) prepared as above were obtained using the TOPAZ single-crystal neutron time-of-flight (TOF) Laue diffractometer (Jogl et al., 2011[Jogl, G., Wang, X., Mason, S. A., Kovalevsky, A., Mustyakimov, M., Fisher, Z., Hoffman, C., Kratky, C. & Langan, P. (2011). Acta Cryst. D67, 584-591.]; Schultz et al., 2014[Schultz, A. J., Jørgensen, M. R. V., Wang, X., Mikkelson, R. L., Mikkelson, D. J., Lynch, V. E., Peterson, P. F., Green, M. L. & Hoffmann, C. M. (2014). J. Appl. Cryst. 47, 915-921.]) at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The diffractometer is equipped with 24 detectors, each with an active area of 15 × 15 cm, arranged on a near-spherical detector array tank. The initial moderator-to-sample flight path is 18 m and the sample-to-detector distances vary in the range 39–46 cm. The total path length of 18.4 m and the SNS pulse rate of 60 Hz provides a wavelength bandwidth of 3.6 Å. The crystal was mounted on a MiTeGen loop using cyano­acrylate glue and cooled to 100 K for data collection. A total of 47 crystal orientations optimized with CrystalPlan software (Zikovsky et al., 2011[Zikovsky, J., Peterson, P. F., Wang, X. P., Frost, M. & Hoffmann, C. (2011). J. Appl. Cryst. 44, 418-423.]) were used to ensure better than 95% coverage of a hemisphere of reciprocal space. Data were displayed, auto-indexed and integrated using the suite of algorithms in Mantid (Arnold et al., 2014[Arnold, O., Bilheux, J. C., Borreguero, J. M., Buts, A., Campbell, S. I., Chapon, L., Doucet, M., Draper, N., Ferraz Leal, R., Gigg, M. A., Lynch, V. E., Markvardsen, A., Mikkelson, D. J., Mikkelson, R. L., Miller, R., Palmen, K., Parker, P., Passos, G., Perring, T. G., Peterson, P. F., Ren, S., Reuter, M. A., Savici, A. T., Taylor, J. W., Taylor, R. J., Tolchenov, R., Zhou, W. & Zikovsky, J. (2014). Nucl. Instrum. Methods Phys. Res. A, 764, 156-166.]). The raw Bragg intensities were obtained using the three-dimensional ellipsoidal Q-space integration method (Schultz et al., 1984[Schultz, A. J., Srinivasan, K., Teller, R. G., Williams, J. M. & Lukehart, C. M. (1984). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 106, 999-1003.]). Data reduction including the neutron TOF spectrum, Lorentz, and detector efficiency corrections were carried out with the ANVRED3 program (Schultz et al., 1984[Schultz, A. J., Srinivasan, K., Teller, R. G., Williams, J. M. & Lukehart, C. M. (1984). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 106, 999-1003.]). A Gaussian numerical absorption correction was applied with μ = 0.1506 + 0.1027λ mm−1. The reduced data were saved in SHELX HKLF2 format, in which the neutron wavelength for each reflection was recorded separately.

2.2. Refinements

The crystal structure of PyBIG carbonate was reported previously (Seipp et al., 2017[Seipp, C. A., Williams, N. J., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2017). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 1042-1045.]; Brethomé et al., 2018[Brethomé, F. M., Williams, N. J., Seipp, C. A., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2018). Nat. Energ. 3, 553-559.]) and we have preserved the setting of the unit cell and the atom numbering used in that work. Based on our experimental neutron data, the crystal structure was re-refined within the SHELXTL program suite (Sheldrick, 2015[Sheldrick, G. M. (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 3-8.]) using the previously reported structure as the starting model. All atoms were refined using anisotropic thermal motion. An initial least-squares refinement based on the X-ray data was also carried out (SHELXTL). Anisotropic thermal motion was considered for all non-hydrogen atoms, and the hydrogen atoms were refined isotropically. From this starting point, a multipole refinement based on the Hansen–Coppens pseudo-atom formalism (Hansen & Coppens, 1978[Hansen, N. K. & Coppens, P. (1978). Acta Cryst. A34, 909-921.]) [equation (1)[link]], as implemented in the MoPro program package (Jelsch et al., 2005[Jelsch, C., Guillot, B., Lagoutte, A. & Lecomte, C. (2005). J. Appl. Cryst. 38, 38-54.]), using the Volkov and co-workers relativistic data bank (Volkov et al., 2006[Volkov, A., Macchi, P., Farrugia, L., Gattu, C., Mallinson, P., Richter, T. & Koritsanszky, T. (2006). XD2006. https://xd.chem.buffalo.edu/.]), was performed,

[\rho ({\bf{r}}) = {P_{c}}{\rho _{c}}(r) + {P_{v}}\kappa _{s}^3{\rho_{v}}({\kappa _{s}}r) + \sum\limits_{l = 0}^4 {\kappa _{l}^3{R_l}({\kappa_{l}}r)} \sum\limits_{m = 0}^l {{P_{lm \pm }}{y_{lm \pm }}{{(}}{\bf{r}}{{/}}r{{)},}} \eqno (1)]

where ρc and ρv are spherical core and valence densities normalized to one electron, Pc and Pv are the core and spherical valence populations, respectively, Rl represents normalized Slater-type radial functions, ylm are real angular spherical harmonics, and Plm refers to the multipole population of the mth term of the lth order. The κs and κl terms are expansion–contraction coefficients for the spherical and multipolar valence densities, respectively.

All `heavy' atoms were refined to the hexadecapole level, while the hydrogen atoms were refined up to dipoles plus the bond-directed quadrupole, with C—H, N—H and O—H distances constrained to the values obtained from the neutron study. In the initial stages of refinement, chemical constraints for similar atoms were applied; however, these constraints were gradually released, and the final model was refined unconstrained (24 refined multipole populations for each `heavy' atom and 4 refined multipole populations for hydrogen atoms), with the exception of κ parameters (see below). The molecular electroneutrality requirement was applied throughout for the total structure. This allowed for charge transfer among the charged species rather than constraining their formal charge. The expansion–contraction parameters κs and κl for the non-hydrogen atoms were refined in ten groups according to their chemical equivalence, while κs and κl for hydrogen atoms were set to 1.2. The final description of the anisotropic thermal motion for the hydrogen atoms was obtained from SHADE-3.1 (Madsen, 2006[Madsen, A. Ø. (2006). J. Appl. Cryst. 39, 757-758.]).

The residual map calculated after the multipole refinement still had one unidentified peak significantly above background. Examination of the neutron residual showed the same small feature along with a negative neighbor (Figs. S8 and S9). These features were identified as a small number of cocrystallized hydroxide ions. The refined occupancies were 0.017 (2) from the X-ray data (IAM model) and 0.022 (2) from neutrons. No evidence was found in the neutron data for the H+ required for charge balance, hence we assume that it is disordered over the available oxygen and nitro­gen sites. The final multipole refinement then included a variable occupancy for the contribution from a spherically modeled oxygen atom.

Topological analysis of the total electron density was carried out with the program packages MoPro (Jelsch et al., 2005[Jelsch, C., Guillot, B., Lagoutte, A. & Lecomte, C. (2005). J. Appl. Cryst. 38, 38-54.]), XDPROP (Volkov et al., 2006[Volkov, A., Macchi, P., Farrugia, L., Gattu, C., Mallinson, P., Richter, T. & Koritsanszky, T. (2006). XD2006. https://xd.chem.buffalo.edu/.]) and WinXPRO (Stash & Tsirelson, 2002[Stash, A. & Tsirelson, V. (2002). J. Appl. Cryst. 35, 371-373.], 2005[Stash, A. I. & Tsirelson, V. G. (2005). Crystallogr. Rep. 50, 177-184.]).

2.3. Evaluation of X-ray data quality

Analysis of statistical measures of data and multipole model quality have been deposited; all suggest excellent data and an excellent model. Averaged ratios (in 0.05 Å−1 bins) of observed and calculated structure factors (Fig. S1) as well as the normal probability plot (Fig. S2) indicate good model fitting for the whole sinθ/λ range. The residual electron density maps (Fig. S3) are low (ρmin/max = −0.186/0.272 e Å−3, calculated for the complete data set) and featureless as confirmed by a fractal dimension plot (Fig. S4). The total electron density was non-negative everywhere.

3. Results and discussion

3.1. Structure

As reported previously (Seipp et al., 2017[Seipp, C. A., Williams, N. J., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2017). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 56, 1042-1045.]; Brethomé et al., 2018[Brethomé, F. M., Williams, N. J., Seipp, C. A., Kidder, M. K. & Custelcean, R. (2018). Nat. Energ. 3, 553-559.]), the structure is made up of essentially planar PyBIGH22+ dications, carbonate anions and four water molecules. The asymmetric unit and the atom labeling are shown in Fig. 1[link]. The anions and water molecules form a ribbon (Fig. 2[link]), and based on distance criteria, we may already propose that this structure is strongly hydrogen bonded, as shown in the figure. The cations form stacks (Fig. 3[link]) that are approximately perpendicular to the plane of the anion–water ribbons.

Color scheme – oxygen, red; carbon, dark gray; hydrogen, light gray.

Color scheme: nitrogen, blue; carbon, dark gray; hydrogen, light gray.

The anion–water ribbon is canted at an angle of ∼23.6° above and below the ac plane, and extends about 1.91 Å above and below the plane (Fig. S5). The ribbon has a maximal thickness of ∼1.49 Å (on the basis of heavy atoms), while the H52 atom is oriented nearly perpendicular (81.1°) to the mean plane of the ribbon. While each ribbon extends infinitely along the a axis, the width of each ribbon is ∼11.82 Å, about 2 Å shorter than the length of the c axis. The distance between nearest neighbors on different adjacent ribbons is approximately 4.2 Å and gives rise to a channel between neighboring ribbons. In this context, it is unsurprising that the sites of the partially occupied hydroxide ions fall in this cavity and are suggestive of a stabilizing interaction between neighboring ribbons (Fig. S5). On the basis of the neutron diffraction results, the nearest hydroxide HO⋯H distance is ∼1.90 Å, while the nearest HO—H⋯OH distance is ∼1.73 Å. The cations lie roughly above and below the ac plane containing the extended network of ribbons. When viewed along the [101] direction it becomes clear that the nearest cations are all hydrogen-bond donors to the water–anion ribbons and form linear arrays along the [101] vector, nearly in the (¼ 0 ¼) plane. Slightly further from the ribbons are cation arrays (along [101]) wherein the hydrogen-bond-accepting pyridine N5 atom is oriented towards the ribbon (Figs. S6 and S7).

The distances shown in Fig. 4[link] suggest strong hydrogen bonds between the guanidinium hydrogen atoms and a variety of oxygen atoms, as well as a water hydrogen bonded to the pyridine nitro­gen. Note that the cations in Fig. 4[link] have been truncated to emphasize the possible hydrogen-bond interactions. It is also clear from Fig. 3[link] that there is potential for additional interactions between the π-systems of neighboring cation sheets as they are only separated by ∼3.2 Å. The observation of these putative noncovalent interactions provided much of the motivation to characterize them by topological analysis of the total electron density.

Potential hydrogen bonds between the anion–water ribbon and neighboring cations. All cations have been truncated to enhance the visibility of the hydrogen bonds. The figure is based on the neutron structure, with displacement ellipsoids drawn at the 20% proabability level and distances in Å (Macrae et al., 2008[Macrae, C. F., Bruno, I. J., Chisholm, J. A., Edgington, P. R., McCabe, P., Pidcock, E., Rodriguez-Monge, L., Taylor, R., van de Streek, J. & Wood, P. A. (2008). J. Appl. Cryst. 41, 466-470.]). Color scheme: oxygen, red; nitrogen, blue; carbon, dark gray; hydrogen, light gray.

4.1. Atomic charges

The integrated charges of the atomic basins delimited by the zero-flux surfaces and their volumes are listed in Table 2[link]. For convenience, the charges are also reported in Fig. 5[link]. The accuracy of the integration for each atom was confirmed by a small value of the integrated Laplacian (Lagrangian). The atomic charges sum to zero as required; however, the total charge of the cation and anion differ from the formal value of 2.0, indicating significant charge transfer. Concomitantly, all water molecules are close to neutral, and the disordered OH group contributes a small amount of negative charge. The sum of the atomic volumes is close to the unit-cell volume per asymmetric unit with an error of ∼0.2%. All oxygen atoms have significant negative charges of similar magnitudes, whether in the anion or in the water molecules. The nitro­gens are all strongly negative, and may be differentiated according to their type (NH2 < Npyridine < NH < Nimino). The carbon atoms have a wide range of mainly positive charges that strongly correlate with their environment (Ccarbonate > Cguanidine > Cimino > Cpyridine – the latter being slightly negative). As expected, the hydrogen atoms are all strongly positive and again may be grouped by type (H2O > NH > CH).

Integrated atomic charges (black) and topological bond orders (red).

The deformation density in the plane of the dication is mapped in Fig. 6[link](a) and clearly shows a significant concentration of electron density in all of the covalent bonds, as well as the presence of lone pairs on the imino and pyridine nitro­gen atoms. The covalent bonding density is also well represented for the anion and for the water molecules. Again, the expected lone-pair regions on the oxygen atoms are also well defined.

More complete information on the nature of the bonding may be obtained from a topological analysis of the total electron density (Fig. 7[link] and Table 3[link]). All (3,−1) critical points for the covalent bonds in the dication, the carbonate anion, and selected water molecules are indicated by yellow spheres in Figs. 7[link](a) and 7(b). Their characteristics are tabulated in Table 3[link]. All covalent bonds have significant electron density at the critical point, with negative values of the Laplacian as required. Of particular interest is the extent of electron delocalization (π bonding) in the essentially planar dication. In general, all bonds in the molecular skeleton are short, with significant ellipticities at the critical points indicating important π-character. Complementary information on the nature of these bonds may be obtained from the topological bond orders as defined by ntopo = a + bλ3 + c(λ1 + λ2) + dρCP, where ρ is the electron density at the critical point, λ1,2,3 are obtained from the Hessian matrix, and the coefficients (a, b, c, d) were taken from the literature (Howard & Lamarche, 2003[Howard, S. T. & Lamarche, O. (2003). J. Phys. Org. Chem. 16, 133-141.]; Tsirelson et al., 2006[Tsirelson, V. G., Stash, A. I., Potemkin, V. A., Rykounov, A. A., Shutalev, A. D., Zhurova, E. A., Zhurov, V. V., Pinkerton, A. A., Gurskaya, G. V. & Zavodnik, V. E. (2006). Acta Cryst. B62, 676-688.], 2007[Tsirelson, V. G., Bartashevich, E. V., Stash, A. I. & Potemkin, V. A. (2007). Acta Cryst.

The bond orders for the skeleton of the cation, which range from 1.078 to 1.382 and show close to twofold molecular symmetry in their value, further indicate the delocalized π-character of the C—C and C—N bonds (Table 3[link] and Fig. 5[link]). The strongest bonds are those involving the imino atoms N4 and N6, whereas the weakest are the substituted guanidinium C—N bonds (C1—N3 and C9—N7) and the substituents of the pyridine ring (C2—C3 and C7—C8). The bond orders of the N—H bonds are significantly lower than those of C—H, corresponding to the higher positive charges on the H(N) atoms compared with H(C).

Color scheme: C, black; N, blue; O, red; H, green.

Although Fig. 6[link](b) implies well resolved lone pairs on all the oxygen atoms of the carbonate anion, these are actually cuts through a doughnut-like charge distribution as shown by the iso-surface plot in Fig. 6[link](c). As expected, the carbonate anion is strongly covalently bonded, and the charge distribution is highly polarized, the oxygen atoms carrying high negative charges and the carbon atom being strongly positive.

4.2. Closed-shell interactions

The most important noncovalent interactions in this structure are the hydrogen bonds, which range in strength from modest to strong. All bond paths have been identified from the topology of the electron density, and their (3,−1) bond critical points characterized (Table 4[link] and Fig. 7[link]). Every hydrogen atom in the structure bonds to a neighboring oxygen or to the pyridine nitrogen (N5) except H22, which only bonds to the partially occupied OH group. All carbonate oxygen atoms accept three hydrogen bonds and all water oxygen atoms accept two. The only nitro­gen atom that accepts a hydrogen bond is the pyridine N5 atom.

‡The shorter values for the intermolecular distances compared with those reported for the neutron study are caused by lattice contraction at lower temperature.

We have estimated the dissociation energy of each hydrogen bond based on the topological analysis and assuming the validity of the relationship by Espinosa et al. (1998[Espinosa, E., Molins, E. & Lecomte, C. (1998). Chem. Phys. Lett. 285, 170-173.], 1999[Espinosa, E., Lecomte, C. & Molins, E. (1999). Chem. Phys. Lett. 300, 745-748.]). The dissociation energies of the most important hydrogen bonds range from modest (∼14 kJ mol−1) to strong (∼66 kJ mol−1). From the [| {{V_{\rm CP}}} |/{G_{\rm CP}}] criterion (Espinosa et al., 2002[Espinosa, E., Alkorta, I., Elguero, J. & Molins, E. (2002). J. Chem. Phys. 117, 5529-5542.]), although these are still closed-shell interactions, the stronger ones are well within the so-called `transit' region, [{\left({| {{V_{\rm CP}}} |/{G_{\rm CP}}} \right)_{\rm max}} = 1.40].

As shown in the figures, we may divide the hydrogen bonds into two sets, one which defines the carbonate–water ribbons and another roughly perpendicular to the first linking the anionic ribbons and cationic stacks. We recognize that this is an artificial classification as the two types have similar energies; however, we believe that it provides some insight into the design criteria for new cations to provide such insoluble materials.

As expected, the strongest hydrogen bonds involve the carbonate anion, which accepts a total of nine hydrogen bonds, five from the guanidinium groups and four from the water molecules (Fig. 8[link]a), as well as three much weaker interactions. The correlation between the hydrogen-bond energies and the observed H⋯O contact distances (Fig. 8[link]b) may be fitted to an exponential curve as anticipated from the derivation of the Espinosa relationship. The estimated carbonate `binding' energy from all hydrogen bonds and the three weaker interactions amount to −449.9 kJ mol−1. Notably, a large fraction of the carbonate `binding' energy (−167 kJ mol−1, 37.1%) comes from hydrogen bonding to water. Clearly, the water molecules of hydration play an important role in the stability, and thereby the low aqueous solubility of (PyBIGH2)(CO­3)(H2O)4 crystals, by providing a total of −441.9 kJ mol−1 in hydrogen-bonding energy. The strong hydrogen bonding of carbonate and water in these crystals is needed to partially compensate for the large free energy of dehydration of the anion (1315 kJ mol−1) (Marcus, 1991[Marcus, Y. (1991). J. Chem. Soc. Faraday Trans. 87, 2995-2999.]) involved in the crystallization of PyBIGH2(CO­3)(H2O)4. Additionally, the lattice energy, consisting of electrostatic as well as other interactions (vide infra), must also contribute to the low aqueous solubility of these crystals.

[Figure 8]

(b) Observed correlation between hydrogen-bond energies and H⋯O contact distances; red points are from our experiment and the green line is from the work by Espinosa et al. (1998[Espinosa, E., Molins, E. & Lecomte, C. (1998). Chem. Phys. Lett. 285, 170-173.]).

A complete topological analysis of the electron density reveals a number of additional bond paths, suggesting much weaker interactions. Although not rigorously justified, extrapolating the Espinosa et al. (1998[Espinosa, E., Molins, E. & Lecomte, C. (1998). Chem. Phys. Lett. 285, 170-173.], 1999[Espinosa, E., Lecomte, C. & Molins, E. (1999). Chem. Phys. Lett. 300, 745-748.]) relationship suggests that dissociation energies for these additional interactions are all <5 kJ mol−1 (Table 4[link]). By definition, a bond path must begin and end at a nucleus; however, due to the close face-to-face proximity of the planar cations, many of these interactions may be better described as ππ interactions.

4.3. Lattice energy and electrostatic interactions

It is well known that high lattice energies tend to lower the solubility of crystalline compounds:

[{ E_{\rm int} = E_{\rm es} + E_{\rm ex-rep} + E_{\rm disp} + E_{\rm ind}.} \eqno (2)]

Although not the only contributor to the lattice energy [Eint, equation (2)[link]], electrostatic interactions (Ees) tend to dominate this quantity in ionic crystals (Coppens, 1997[Coppens, P. (1997). In X-ray Charge Densities and Chemical Bonding. Oxford University Press.]; Volkov et al., 2006[Volkov, A., Macchi, P., Farrugia, L., Gattu, C., Mallinson, P., Richter, T. & Koritsanszky, T. (2006). XD2006. https://xd.chem.buffalo.edu/.]). Determination of the exchange–repulsion and dispersion to the total interaction energy are method dependent and, hence, unreliable. However, the electrostatic term may be obtained from the multipole expansion of the electron density using the methodology proposed by Volkov et al. (2004[Volkov, A., Koritsanszky, T. & Coppens, P. (2004). Chem. Phys. Lett. 391, 170-175.]). Thus, we have determined the electrostatic crystal binding energy for (PyBIGH2)(CO3)(H2O)4 to be −583 kJ mol−1. Although this may seem modest for an ionic compound, we have noted significant charge transfer between the cation and the anion, and the cationic charge is highly delocalized.

5. Conclusions

This article reports both a neutron diffraction study and a high-resolution X-ray diffraction study of a highly insoluble carbonate salt formed by crystallization of a guanidine compound with atmospheric CO2. Both diffraction methods confirm the presence of a small amount of cocrystallized hydroxide ion. The accurately determined topological properties of the electron density characterize the delocalized nature of the bonding in the planar cation, as well as two well developed strong hydrogen-bonding schemes, one defining an anion–water ribbon, and the other essentially orthogonal to the anion–water `plane', linking the anionic ribbons to the cationic stacks. The carbonate anions are strongly hydrogen bonded in these crystals, which likely contributes to the extremely low aqueous solubility of this salt. The water molecules of hydration, hydrogen bonded to the carbonate anions and the guanidinium cations, also play an important role in the stability of these crystals. While the intermolecular interactions are dominated by strong hydrogen bonds, a number of supplementary weaker interactions have been characterized. Although their bond paths have been identified by their nuclear attractors, many may better be characterized as ππ interactions. The electrostatic contribution to the lattice energy is relatively modest due to both charge transfer and charge delocalization.

Special details top

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against reflections. The threshold expression of F2 > 2sigma(F2) is used for calculating R-factors(gt) 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.

Special details top

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.
