N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)oxalamide was prepared from
4-(aminomethyl)pyridine and diethyl oxalate, according to the method described
by Nguyen et al. (1998). Single crystals of (I) were obtained by
the
DMF/ether diffusion method.
A methanol solution (5 ml) of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O (1 mmol) was mixed with a
methanol solution (5 ml) of 4py-ox (3 mmol). Slow diffusion with ether
resulted in large colorless crystals of the unexpected composition
N,N'-bis(4-pyridiniummethyl)oxalamide dinitrate, (II).
The pyridinium H atom of (II) was located in a difference Fourier map and
refined isotropically. Other H atoms attached to C and N atoms were positioned
geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å
and N—H = 0.88 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C,N) for
both (I) and (II).
For both compounds, data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 1998); cell refinement: DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997); data reduction: DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997); program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 2008); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 2008); molecular graphics: XP in SHELXTL (Sheldrick, 2008); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXTL (Sheldrick, 2008).

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. |

Since Jean-Marie Lehn's famous description of supramolecular chemistry (Reference?), the chemistry of molecular assemblies and the intermolecular non-covalent binding interactions (i.e. hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions and π–π stacking) have attracted increasing attention in crystal engineering. In particular, hydrogen bonding, which is a powerful organizing force in designing various supramolecules and solid-state architectures (Subramanian & Zaworotko, 1994), is extensively used not only for networking numerous organic and organometallic compounds (Desiraju, 2000), but also for generating interesting supramolecular properties, such as electrical, optical and magnetic (Letard et al., 1998) properties. Pyridyl groups, with effective sites for coordination to transition metal ions, have been used for the construction of supramolecular coordination compounds (Maspoch et al., 2004; Barnett & Champness, 2003; Carlucci et al., 2003). In addition, organic amides have proved to be very useful in self-assembly through hydrogen bonding, and the assembled products have relevance to biological systems. Thus, dipyridylamide ligands have recently been designed and synthesized in crystal engineering; in these compounds, amide–amide hydrogen bonding has been demonstrated to increase supramolecular versatility (Burchell et al., 2004; Muthu et al., 2001, 2002; Nguyen et al., 1998, 2001).
The title compound, (I) (4py-ox), has been successfully employed in the synthesis of novel metal–organic frameworks (Tzeng et al., 2005, 2006, 2007). We have focused our attention on this organic ligand to obtain a one-dimensional zigzag chain structure with the Co2+ ion (Lee & Wang, 2007). In this work, we report a new crystal morphology constructed by 4py-ox, which is a polymorphic crystal of the previous work (Lee & Wang, 2007). The second title compound, (II), was obtained as a by-product in the course of attempts to prepare a coordination polymer by the reaction of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O and 4py-ox. The molecular structures and the related supramolecular constructions of (I) and (II) are presented in detail and compared with that of the polymorphic crystal in the previous work.
The crystal structure of 4py-ox is shown in Fig. 1, and selected bond lengths and angles are listed in Table 1. No obvious differences in the C—O, C—N and C—C bonds are found compared with those of the two independent molecules of the previous work (Lee & Wang, 2007). In this study, 4py-ox has a crystallographic inversion center in the middle of the oxalamide group, and one half of the molecule is independent. Therefore, the two pyridyl rings separated by the oxalamide linkage in the molecule are parallel to each other. The central oxalamide group is planar. The C2—C3—C6—N2 torsion angle is 53.55 (18)°, which is between the corresponding values of the two independent molecules of the previous work [N1/C14 = 30.1 (3) and 32.9 (3)°; N5/C28 = 75.9 (2) and 80.8 (2)°; Lee & Wang, 2007]. The distance between the two pyridyl rings is 5.43 (1) Å, which is longer than the corresponding values of 4.63 (1) and 0.30 (1) Å [Very short - please check] in the previous work, and the terminal (pyridyl) N···N separation of 12.199 (2) Å is slightly shorter than those of the previous work [13.075 (2) and 12.951 (2) Å; Lee & Wang, 2007].
The two-dimensional array of 4py-ox molecules is presented in Fig. 2, showing a two-dimensional sheet-like supramolecular network formed through intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Details of the hydrogen-bonding geometry are given in Table 2. Two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds are observed in the unit cell. One is between the N atom of the oxalamide part and the pyridyl N atom of a neighboring molecule [N2···N1ii = 3.006 (2) Å; symmetry code: (ii) x + 1,-y + 3/2, z + 1/2], and the other between the O atom of the oxalamide part and the α-pyridyl C atom of a neighboring molecule [C1···O1iii = 3.254 (2) Å; symmetry code: (iii) -x, y + 1/2, -z + 3/2]. There is also an intramolecular hydrogen bond within the oxalamide group [N2···O1i = 2.716 (2) Å; symmetry code: (i) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z + 2], and thus atom H2 is involved in a bifurcated hydrogen bond. The 4py-ox molecules are then interlinked via four sets of combined N—H···N and C—H···O hydrogen bonds to form a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture. It is interesting to note that this two-dimensional array is different from that of the previous report (Lee & Wang, 2007), in which dimers of 4py-ox molecules, formed via a pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds [N···O distances of 2.916 (2) and 2.888 (2) Å], act as the basic building units and are then interlinked via four sets of N—H···N hydrogen bonds [N···N distances of 2.903 (2) and 2.930 (2) Å] between the N atoms of the oxalamide part and the pyridyl N atoms of neighboring dimers to form its two-dimensional supramolecular network.
Slow diffusion of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O into a solution of 4py-ox resulted in colorless crystals of the unexpected composition [H2(4py-ox)](NO3)2, compound (II). The diprotonation process of 4py-ox was also observed in [H2(4,4'-bipy)](NO3)2 (where 4,4'-bipy is 4,4'-bipyridine; Felloni et al., 2002; Iyere et al., 2003) and [H2(bpe)](NO3)2 [where bpe is 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene; Felloni et al., 2002; Yan, 2006]. The molecular structure of (II) contains diprotonated 4py-ox and NO3- counterions, as shown in Fig. 3. Structural determination reveals that there is an inversion center in the middle of the oxalamide group and the asymmetric unit contains one-half of an H2(4py-ox) cation and one NO3- anion. Bond lengths and angles (Table 3) are comparable with those of (I). Similar to (I), the central oxalamide group is planar. The dihedral angle between the pyridinium ring and the oxalamide group is 103.9 (1)°, which is slightly smaller than the corresponding angle in (I) [104.9 (1)°]. The shortest distance between two pyridyl rings in (II) is 0.26 (1) Å [Very short - please check] and the C2—C3—C6—N2 torsion angle is 23.3 (3)°, and these values are both less than those observed in (I), although they are comparable with those of one molecule (N1/C14) in the previous work [0.30 (1) Å, and 30.1 (3) and 32.9 (3)°, respectively; Lee & Wang, 2007].
There are two bifurcated hydrogen bonds in the structure of (II). One is between the nitrate anion and the N1—H1 group of the pyridinium ring of the [H2(4py-ox)]2+ cation, with N1···O2 = 2.701 (3) Å and N1···O3 = 3.089 (3) Å. These results are similar to those found in [H2(4,4'-bipy)](NO3)2 reported earlier [N1···O2 = 2.668 (2) Å and N1···O3 = 3.148 (2) Å; Iyere et al., 2003]. The other is found at the N2—H2 group of the oxalamide moiety, in which there is an intramolecular hydrogen bond [N2···O1i = 2.669 (2) Å; symmetry code: (i) -x + 1, -y + 1, -z] and an intermolecular hydrogen bond [N2···O2ii = 2.943 (2) Å; symmetry code: (ii) x, -y + 1/2, z - 1/2]. Thus, atoms H1 and H2 are involved in bifurcated hydrogen bonds.
The supramolecular aggregation of (II) in the packing (Fig. 4) is more complicated than that in (I). Each nitrate ion is hydrogen-bonded to four cations via three N—H···O contacts [N1···O2 = 2.701 (3) Å, N1···O3 = 3.089 (3) Å and N2···O2ii = 2.943 (2) Å] and two C—H···O interactions [C2···O4iv = 3.180 (3) Å and C5···O3v = 3.160 (3) Å; symmetry codes: (iv) x - 1, -y + 1/2, z - 1/2; (v) -x + 3, -y + 1, -z + 1]. Such coordination of each nitrate ion by four cations was also observed in the structure of [H2(4,4'-bipy)](NO3)2 (Iyere et al., 2003). Furthermore, adjacent cations are linked via weak C—H···O hydrogen bonding [C1···O1iii = 3.159 (3) Å; symmetry code: (iii) -x + 1, y - 1/2, -z + 1/2] between the α-pyridium C atoms and the oxalamide O atoms, forming an extended two-dimensional supramolecular network. Details of the hydrogen-bonding geometry are given in Table 4.
