The reaction between pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (100 mg, 1 mmol) in 10 ml water, creatinine (creat) (110 mg, 1 mmol) in 20 ml water and chromium(III) nitrate nonahydrate (100 mg, 0.5 mmol) in 5 ml water at 2:2:1 molar ratio gave violet crystals after slow evaporation of the solvent at the room temperature.

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. |

We have previously reported several structures that contain creatinine, pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid and various metals such as: (creatH)(pydcH).H2O (Moghimi et al., 2004), (creatH)2[Bi(pydc)2]2.4H2O (Moghimi et al., 2005) and (creatH)[Zn(pydc)(pydcH)]. 4H2O (Aghabozorg, Ramezanipour et al., 2008). For more details and related literature see our recent review article (Aghabozorg, Manteghi et al., 2008).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound Fig. 1, contains a [Cr(pydc)2]- anion, a (creatH)+ cation, a pydcH2 molecule and six uncoordinated water molecules. In the anions, CrIII has a N2O4 donor set with normal distances and angles (Table 1). The two (pydc)2– planes form a dihedral angle of 89.64 (1)°, and thus are virtually perpendicular to each other.
As depicted in Fig. 2, the creatininium ion is evidently strongly associated with the neutral molecule of pydcH2 through two N—H···O hydrogen bonds and the two units are bridged by one of the water molecules. There are also two rather strong hydrogen bonds between the two carboxylic acid OH groups of the pydcH2 and molecules of water. The relevant O···O distances are 2.5382 (15) and 2.5720 (14)Å. This structural arrangement between cation and neutral pydcH2 markedly differs from the arrangement in the ion pair creatH+pydcH- previously reported in the structure of the creatH+pydcH- monohydrate (Moghimi et al., 2004). In the latter structure, only one intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between one of the NH2 H atoms and the carboxylate group. The other NH2 H atom is hydrogen bonded to the molecule of water.
In addition to numerous strong hydrogen bonds, intermolecular interactions in the the title compound include weaker C—H···O interactions which link the anions together, shown in Fig. 3 and Table 2, as well as C—O···π stacking interactions between CO groups of carboxylate fragments and aromatic rings of (pydc)2– with O···centroid distances of 3.211 (13) and 3.300 (12) Å (Fig. 4).
