4-Dimethylaminopyridine (4.9 mmol) in ethanol (25 ml) was added to 2,4-dinitrophenol (4.9 mmol) dissolved in ethanol (25 ml). The precipitate, (I) (3.9 mmol, yield 79%), was filtered and recrystallized from a 1:1 mixture of petroleum ether and acetone.
All H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and their positional parameters were refined, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom). The C—H bond lengths are in the range 0.95 (2)–1.03 (2) 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. |

The design of organic polar crystals for quadratic non-linear optical (NLO) applications is supported by the observation that organic molecules containing π-electron systems asymmetrized by electron-donor and -acceptor groups are highly polarizable entities in which problems of transparency and crystal growth may arise from their molecular crystal packing (Pecaut & Bagieu-Beucher, 1993). It is known that nitrophenols act not only as π-acceptors to form various π-stacking complexes with other aromatic molecules, but also as acidic ligands to form salts through specific electrostatic or hydrogen-bonding interactions (In et al., 1997). The bonding of electron-donor acceptor complexes depends strongly on the nature of the partners. The linkage could involve not only electrostatic interactions, but also the formation of molecular complexes (Zadrenko et al., 1997). It has been reported that proton-transferred thermochromic complexes are formed between phenols and amines in apolar solvents at low temperature if an appropriate hydrogen-bonding network between phenols and amines is present to stabilize it (Mizutani et al., 1998). Pyridinium picrate has been reported in two crystalline phases and it appears in both phases as an internally linked hydrogen-bonded ion pair. These two phases are termed molecular crystals rather than salts, based on their structural arrangements (Botoshansky et al., 1994). A similar structural arrangement has also been reported for 4-dimethylaminopyridinium picrate (Vembu, Nallu, Garrison & Youngs, 2003). The reaction of 4-nitrophenol with 4-dimethylaminopyridine results in the formation of a new NLO material, the crystal structure of which has been reported at room temperature (Evans et al., 1998). Recently, we have reported the crystal structure of 4-dimethylaminopyridinium 4-nitrophenolate 4-nitrophenol (1/1/1) at 120 K (Vembu, Nallu, Spencer & Howard, 2003). The X-ray structure determination of the title compound, (I), has been undertaken to study the nature of the interaction between 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 2,4-dinitrophenol in the solid state. This study may serve as a forerunner for assessing the optical properties of (I).
The asymmetric unit of (I) contains one 4-dimethylaminopyridinium cation and one 2,4-dinitrophenolate anion (Fig. 1). The bond lengths and angles of the phenolate and dimethylaminopyridinium moieties (Table 1) are comparable with those found in related structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.23; Allen, 2002; Bruno et al., 2002).
The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by N—H···O and C—H···O interactions. The range of H···O distances (Table 2) found in (I) agrees with those found for N—H···O (Jeffrey, 1997) and C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). As shown in Fig. 2, each of the C3—H3···O3, C3—H3···O4 and C5—H5···O5 interactions generates an S(5) ring motif (Etter, 1990; Bernstein et al., 1995). The S(5) rings generated by the C3—H3···O4 and C5—H5···O5 interactions are planar, whereas that generated by the C3—H3···O3 interaction is distorted from planarity, as atom O3 deviates by −0.284 (5) Å from the mean plane. The C3—H3···O3 and C3—H3···O4 interactions together constitute a pair of bifurcated donor bonds. The C12–H12C···O5 interaction generates a D motif linking the 4-dimethylaminopyridinium and 2,4-dinitrophenolate moieties together. The C13—H13A···O4 and C13—H13A···O5 interactions constitute a pair of bifurcated donor bonds generating a symmetrical three-centred hydrogen-bonded chelate (Desiraju, 1989) motif of graph set D12(4).
As seen from Fig. 3, the C12—H12B···O4i and C10—H10···O4i interactions constitute a pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds generating an R21(7) motif. The C11—H11···O1ii and N3—H3A···O1ii interactions constitute a pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds generating an R21(5) motif. The C7—H7···O2ii and N3—H3A···O2ii interactions constitute another pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds generating an R21(5) motif. The N3—H3A···O1ii and N3—H3A···O2ii interactions constitute a pair of bifurcated donor bonds generating an R1(26) motif. The C7—H7···O2ii and C11—H11···O1ii interactions together generate an R22(10) motif. The C8—H8···O3iii and C13—H13B···O3iii interactions together generate a pair of bifurcated acceptor bonds generating an R21(7) motif. The C12—H12B···O4iv and C11—H11···O3iv interactions together generate an R22(14) motif. There are several other weak C—H···O interactions and a C—H···π interaction, which contribute to the supramolecular aggregation of (I) (Table 2).
In the crystal structure of (I) (Fig. 4), the molecules are stacked in layers held together by pairs of π–π interactions, with a distance of 3.697 (1) Å between the centroids of the pyridinium ring and the benzene ring of the inversion-related 2,4-dinitrophenolate at (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z), and a distance of 3.561 (1) Å between the centroids of the benzene rings at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, 2 − y, −z). The interplay of strong N—H···O and weak C—H···O, C—H···π and π–π interactions with different strengths, directional preferences and distance fall of properties presents a complex mosaic of interactions. The three-dimensional arrangement of 2,4-dinitrophenolate and 4-dimethylaminopyridinium moieties in the unit cell shows that (I) is an internally linked hydrogen-bonded ion pair, and hence can be regarded as a molecular crystal rather than a salt.
