Crystal Structure and Spectroscopic Studies of a New Organic Dihydrogenmonophosphate [2-NH2-6-CH3-C4H3N2O]2(H2PO4)2

Exploring nonlinear optical properties in a hybrid dihydrogen phosphate system: an experimental and theoretical approach

CONTEXT

The controlled slow evaporation process conducted at room temperature has produced a novel hybrid material denoted as (2-hydroxyethyl) trimethylammonium dihydrogen phosphate [2-HDETDHP] (C5H14NO+, H2PO4-), synthesized through the solution growth method. X-ray crystallography analysis reveals a triclinic structure with a filling rate of P and a Z value of 2. This hybrid material displays noteworthy absorption characteristics in the middle and far ultraviolet regions. UV-visible spectroscopy further establishes its transparency in the visible and near-visible ultraviolet domains. FT-IR spectroscopy examines various vibration modes, elucidating their relationships with the functional groups within the structure. Two- and three-dimensional fingerprint maps, coupled with three-dimensional crystal structures through Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, unveil the dominance of O•••H and H•••H interactions in the structure, comprising 49.40% and 50.40%, respectively. Fingerprint plots derived from the Hirshfeld surface assess the percentages of hydrogen bonding interactions, with 80.6% attributed to a fragment patch. The experiment of antimicrobial efficacy of a synthesized product, conducted in triplicate, demonstrated the synthesized product's potential antimicrobial activity.

METHODS

Hirshfeld surfaces are employed to investigate intermolecular hydrogen bonding, specifically within single phosphate groups. The molecular structure of 2-HDETDHP was refined using single-crystal X-ray analysis, while its optical characteristics were examined through UV-visible spectroscopy. FT-IR spectroscopy is employed for the assignment of molecular vibrations of functional groups in the affined structure. Quantum calculations were executed with the GAUSSIAN 09 software package at B3LYP/6-311G level of theory, to optimize the molecular geometries. The antimicrobial efficacy of a synthesized product was evaluated using the disc diffusion method against antibiotic-resistant Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Aspergillus niger, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli. Microorganisms were cultured on nutrient agar, and inhibition zones were measured after incubation, with streptomycin and amphotericin as positive controls.

6-Chloroisocytosine and 5-bromo-6-methylisocytosine: again, one or two tautomers present in the same crystal?

It is well known that pyrimidin-4-one derivatives are able to adopt either the 1H- or the 3H-tautomeric form in (co)crystals, depending on the coformer. As part of ongoing research to investigate the preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns of active pharmaceutical ingredients and their model systems, 2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4-one and 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4-one have been cocrystallized with several coformers and with each other. Since Cl and Br atoms both have versatile possibilities to interact with the coformers, such as via hydrogen or halogen bonds, their behaviour within the crystal packing was also of interest. The experiments yielded five crystal structures, namely 2-aminopyridin-1-ium 2-amino-6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-pyrimidin-3-ide-2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one (1/3), C5H7N2(+)·C4H3ClN3O(-)·3C4H4ClN3O, (Ia), 2-aminopyridin-1-ium 2-amino-6-chloro-4-oxo-4H-pyrimidin-3-ide-2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one-2-aminopyridine (2/10/1), 2C5H7N2(+)·2C4H3ClN3O(-)·10C4H4ClN3O·C5H6N2, (Ib), the solvent-free cocrystal 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one-2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one (1/1), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O, (II), the solvate 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one-2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one-N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1/1), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O·C5H9NO, (III), and the partial cocrystal 2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(3H)-one-2-amino-5-bromo-6-methylpyrimidin-4(1H)-one-2-amino-6-chloropyrimidin-4(3H)-one (0.635/1/0.365), C5H6BrN3O·C5H6BrN3O·C4H4ClN3O, (IV). All five structures show R2(2)(8) hydrogen-bond-based patterns, either by synthon 2 or by synthon 3, which are related to the Watson-Crick base pairs.

Experimental and theoretical study on the structure and vibrational spectra of β-2-aminopyridinium dihydrogenphosphate

Experimental and theoretical vibrational spectra of β-2-aminopyridinium dihydrogenphosphate (β-2APDP) have been investigated. The FT-IR spectrum of β-2APDP was recorded in the region 4000-400 cm(-1). The optimized molecular structure and theoretical vibrational frequencies of β-2APDP have been investigated using ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and density functional B3LYP method with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The optimized geometric parameters (bond lengths and bond angles) and theoretical frequencies have been compared with the corresponding experimental data and it is found that they agree well with each other. All the assignments of the theoretical frequencies were performed by potential energy distributions using VEDA 4 program. Furthermore, the used scale factors were obtained from the ratio of the frequency values of the strongest peaks in the experimental and theoretical IR spectra. From the results it was concluded that the B3LYP method is superior to the HF method for the vibrational frequencies.

2-Phenylanilinium dihydrogen phosphate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₂N⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, the dihydrogen phosphate anions and the 2-phenyl­anilinium cations are associated via O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds so as to build inorganic layers around the x = 1/2 plane. The organic entities are anchored between these layers through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional infinite network. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 44.7 (4)°.
