4,4′-Bipyrazolium [or 4-(1H-pyrazol-4-yl)pyrazolium] bromide monohydrate, C6H7N4+·Br·H2O, and 4,4′-bipyrazolium perchlorate monohydrate, C6H7N4+·ClO4·H2O, have closely related layered structures involving tight stacks of antiparallel N—H...N hydrogen-bonded polar bipyrazolium chains [N...N = 2.712 (3) and 2.742 (2) Å], which are crosslinked by hydrogen bonds with water mol­ecules and counter-anions.

Comment top

Pyrazole possesses self-complementary functionality and yields hydrogen-bonded polar chains when associated by `head-to-tail' NH···N hydrogen bonding (Foces-Foces et al., 2000). The doubled number of hydrogen-bond donor (NH) and acceptor (N) sites (2:2) of 4,4'-bipyrazole allows the incorporation of this polar motif into a planar hydrogen-bonded network (Boldog et al., 2001). However, the molecular symmetry of the 4,4'-bipyrazole molecule effects its situation across a centre of inversion and this eliminates any overall polarity of the hydrogen-bonding directions. Double protonation of 4,4'-bipyrazole yields centrosymmetric dications, which act as donors of four NH···X hydrogen bonds and which are unable to participate in self-association due to a lack of acceptor sites (Boldog, 2005). Unlike these cases, 4,4'-bipyrazolium monocations are inherently noncentrosymmetric and they retain both types of binding sites (NH and N), in a 3:1 ratio, allowing self-association and effective interchain interactions. Thus, singly protonated 4,4'-bipyrazole offers a special potential for the generation of polar hydrogen-bonded chains and their integration into an extended architecture. In this context, we have prepared two new salts of 4,4'-bipyrazole, (I) and (II), and present their structures here.

The structural results reveal the close resemblance of the crystalline salts (I) and (II). The bipyrazolium monocations have a nearly planar structure. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the two heterocyclic fragments are 3.5 (1)° in (I) and 8.7 (1)° in (II) (Figs. 1 and 2). Protonation of the pyrazole ring results in the equivalence of atoms N1 and N2, and the corresponding pairs of bonds, C1—N1 and C3—N2, and C1—C2 and C2—C3, are actually uniform in length, while bond C6—N4 (N) remains ca 0.02 Å shorter than C4—N3 (NH). This reflects the greater delocalization of π-electron density within the frame of the pyrazolium moiety compared with the neutral pyrazole fragment. The N3—N4 bond lengths for the neutral pyrazole fragments are the same as for 4,4'-bipyrazole [1.345 (2) Å; Boldog et al., 2001] or its complexes with metal ions [1.341 (2)–1.347 (2) Å; Boldog et al., 2002], while the N1—N2 bonds for the protonated fragments are somewhat shortened and are comparable with the parameter for 4,4'-bipyrazolium diperchlorate [1.328 (3) Å; Boldog, 2005]. A similar result may be found from a comparison of the molecular geometries of pyrazole (la Cour & Rasmussen, 1973) and the pyrazolium cation (Ishida & Kashino, 2001) (N—N 1.343 and 1.335 Å, respectively).

The bipyrazolium monocations in (I) and (II) associate in a uniform fashion, yielding polar chains with relatively strong hydrogen bonds [N···N 2.712 (3) and 2.742 (2) Å, respectively], employing the only acceptor sites, N4, and the N2—H2 donor sites trans to them (Figs. 3 and 4). Owing to the cationic nature of the donor sites, these NH···N interactions are appreciably stronger than those observed for neutral species [2.912 (3) Å for pyrazole (la Cour & Rasmussen, 1973) and 2.886 (2) Å for 4,4'-bipyrazole (Boldog et al., 2001)].

Two bipyrazolium cations, related by inversion [symmetry codes: (1 − x, −y, 1 − z) for (I) and (−x, 1 − y, 1 − z) for (II)], afford tight ππ stacking, in which the interaction occurs between pairs of cationic (A) and neutral (B) pyrazole rings. Such a mode of stacking dictates antiparallel alignment of the chains. Within the hydrogen-bonded layers (Figs. 3 and 4), the geometric parameters of ππ interactions (Janiak, 2000) are similar for (I) and (II) (Tables 3 and 6). For (I), both intra- and interlayer ππ stacking follow the A/B mode and are actually uniform in their geometry, while for (II), the interlayer interactions are supported by B/B (−x, 2 − y, 1 − z) and A/A (1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z) stacking modes.

The hydrogen-bonded chains retain two NH functions per bipyrazole block and donate a set of NH···O and NH···Br hydrogen bonds to finite hydrogen-bonded anion–water ensembles [(H2O)2(X)2]2− [X is Br in (I) or ClO4 in (II)]. These lie across centres of inversion and unite pairs of antiparallel bipyrazolium chains into layers. Such centrosymmetric 2:2 anion–water aggregates have also been observed for acetylcarnitine hydrochloride monohydrate (Destro & Heyda, 1977). The water molecules tend to accept bonds from the cationic pyrazole fragment, while the anions are bound to the neutral pyrazole site (Tables 2 and 4). Hydrogen bonds of the type NH···Br in (I) [3.312 (2) Å] are only slightly weaker than the hydrogen bonding observed in pyrazolium bromides (3.17–3.22 Å; Foces-Foces et al., 1997).

A number of directional CH···O(X) interactions observed in (I) and (II) could be attributed to a weaker hydrogen bond (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999). The protonation evidently enhances the CH acidity of the pyrazole ring and, as a result, the CH···O(X) interactions donated by the cationic pyrazole fragment are appreciably shorter. Thus, in (II) the cationic pyrazolium fragment supports three weak CH···O bonds [C···O 3.267 (3)–3.386 (3) Å], while the shortest CH···O contact donated by the neutral pyrazole fragment is longer [3.502 (3) Å]. Similar directional CH···O hydrogen bonding [C···O 3.201 (3) Å] also occurs for the pyrazolium cation in the salt with 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dioxy-1,4-benzoquinone (Ishida & Kashino, 2001). The shortest C···Br separation in (I) is also observed for the cationic pyrazolium fragment (Table 2) and is comparable with the typical CH···Br bond in acetylenes (3.72 Å; Steiner, 1998).

Thus, the 4,4'-bipyrazolium monocations of (I) and (II) produce polar hydrogen-bonded chains by direct association. The mode of the intercation stacking, however, effects an antiparallel alignment of the chains and this mitigates against bulk polarity of the structure. We intend to investigate a series of related systems in order to resolve this problem.

Experimental top

4,4'-Bipyrazole was prepared by condensation of 1,1,2,2-ethanetetraaldehyde and hydrazine (Trofimenko, 1964). Recrystallization of the compound from hot 10% aqueous HBr or hot 10% aqueous HClO4 afforded large colourless prisms of salts (I) and (II), respectively.

Refinement top

The structures were solved by direct methods. All H atoms were located from difference maps and then refined as riding, with O—H distances constrained to 0.85 Å, N—H distances constrained to 0.90 Å and C—H distances constrained to 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(parent atom).
