3·H
2O, the asymmetric unit contains a 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidinium cation, a Br
− anion, a neutral 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine molecule and a water molecule. Each neutral base molecule is paired with another inversion-related molecule through N—H

N hydrogen bonds to form dimers, and these are linked to one another through water-mediated hydrogen bonds, generating a supramolecular ribbon. The cations also pair with one another through N—H

N hydrogen bonds. The cation pairs are stacked on top of the neutral pairs. The Br
− anion also takes part in hydrogen bonding (N/O—H

Br).

Special details top
Geometry. Bond distances, angles etc. have been calculated using the rounded
fractional coordinates. All e.s.d.'s are estimated from the variances of the
(full) variance-covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account in
the estimation of distances, angles and torsion angles |
Refinement. Refinement on F2 for ALL reflections except those flagged by the user
for potential systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR
and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2,
conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F
set to zero for negative F2. The observed criterion of F2 >
σ(F2) is used only for calculating -R-factor-obs
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. |
