The title compound was synthesized from a mixture of aqueous solutions
containing L-nitroarginine (2 g, Sigma-Aldrich) and KOH (0.512 g) at room
temperature. Single crystals of the title compound were obtained by
slow evaporation of
the solution. At 97° C decomposition of the crystals was observed.
The data set was collected in a full sphere of reciprocal space.
Space group I222 was chosen on the basis of the powder second harmonic of
YAG:Nb laser generation property of the crystals of the title compound.
In spite of the fact
that all H atoms appear in difference Fourier maps
in reasonable positions, they
became unacceptable after refinement.
Because of this, all the H atoms except
those belonging to the water molecule were placed in geometrically calculated
positions and included in the refinement in a riding model approximation, with
Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(carrier atom). The positions of the
H atoms of
the water molecule were located in difference Fourier maps and included in
the refinement with fixed O—H (0.85 Å), H···H (1.35 Å) distances and
isotropic temperature parameters Uiso(H) = 1.4Ueq(O).
The absolute configuration has been determined using
L-nitroarginine of known absolute configuration.

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. |
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. |

Cyclic L-2-nitrimino-1,3-diazepane-4-carboxylic acid (L-NIDCA), produced by elimination of amine from L-nitroarginine (Paul et al., 1961) , may generate new non-linear optical materials like L-nitroarginine itself [Apreyan et al. (2008a, 2008b); Karapetyan et al.(2007); Petrosyan et al. (2005); the crystal structures of L-NIDCA and its monohydrate have been recently reported [Karapetyan (2008a, 2008b)].
This paper presents a structural study of the potassium salt of L-NIDCA monohydrate. The structure was solved and refined in the orthorhombic unit cell with I222 space group. The choice of the non-centric space group was based on the generation of second harmonic observed on a powder sample (YAG:Nd laser, Kurtz-Perry method [Kurtz & Perry,1968]). In this structure, two independent potassium cations occupy special positions. These potassium atoms are located about pseudo-inversion centers, which is most likely the reason for the presence of high level pseudosymmetry in the structure. Both potassium cations are coordinated by six oxygen atoms with K···O bond lengths in the ranges 2.712 (5)-2.815 (7) Å for K1 and 2.642 (5)-2.783 (6) Å for K2.
A view of the asymmetric unit is shown in Fig. 1. The high value of Ueq of atom C3 of the 1,3-diazepane ring compared to those of its neighbors indicates potential disorder of this atom. In the crystal structure, the nitrogen-bound H atoms and the water H atoms are involved in N—H···O, N—H···N and O—H···O hydrogen bonding (Table 1), one of them being intra- and the other three intermolecular, linking anions and water molecules in infinite layers parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2).
