3-Amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium trifluoroacetate

Two 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium salts containing organic anions, and an ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium nitrate

Co-crystallization from methanol of 3-amino-1H-pyrazole with 3,5-di-nitro-benzoic acid produces 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium 3,5-di-nitro-benzoate monohydrate, C3H6N3 +·C7H3N2O6 -·H2O, (I), while similar co-crystallization of this pyrazole with an equimolar qu-antity of fumaric acid produces bis-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium) fumarate-fumaric acid (1/1), 2C3H6N3 +·C4H2O4 2-·C4H4O4, (II). The reaction of 3-amino-1H-pyrazole with a dilute solution of nitric acid in methanol yields a second, ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium nitrate, C3H6N3 +·NO3 -, (III). In each of (I)-(III), the bond distances in the cation provide evidence for extensive delocalization of the positive charge. In each of (I) and (II), an extensive series of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds links the components into complex sheets, while in the structure of (III), the ions are linked by multiple N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional arrangement. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

Two tautomers in the same crystal: 3-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-1H-pyrazole and 5-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-1H-pyrazole

The title co-crystal, 3-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-1H-pyrazole (1/1), C9H7FN2, crystallizes with four independent mol-ecules (A, B, C and D) in the asymmetric unit exhibiting two tautomeric forms (A and D; B and C) due to N-H proton exchange between the two N atoms of the pyrazole ring. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the pyrazole and benzene rings are 15.6 (1), 19.8 (9), 14.0 (1) and 10.7 (7)° in mol-ecules A, B, C and D, respectively. In the crystal, N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit into a ring with an R 4 (4)(12) motif. Furthermore, weak C-H⋯F inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network.

5-(4-Fluoro-phen-yl)-2H-pyrazol-1-ium 2,2,2-tri-fluoro-acetate

The title salt, C₉H₈FN₂⁺·C₂F₃O₂⁻, crystallizes with two independent cations (A and B) and two independent anions (C and D) in the asymmetric unit. In the cations, the dihedral angles between the benzene and pyrazolium rings are 23.7 (3)° in cation A and 1.8 (8)° in cation B. In the crystal, each anion links to the two cations via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a U-shaped unit with an R₄⁴(14) ring motif. These U-shaped units stack along the a axis and are linked via C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming slabs lying parallel to (100). Within the slabs there are π–π inter­actions between the pyrazolium rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.6326 (15) Å] and between the benzene rings [inter-centroid distance = 3.7244 (16) Å]. In the anions, the F atoms of the tri­fluoro­methyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites, with refined occupancy ratios of 0.58 (3):0.42, 0.540 (14):0.46 (14), and 0.55 (2):0.45 (2) for anion C, and 0.73 (5):0.27 (5), 0.63 (5):0.37 (5), and 0.57 (8):0.43 (8) for anion D.

5-Amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium hydrogen succinate

In the cation of the title salt, C₃H₆N₃⁺·C₄H₅O₄⁻, the protonated pyrazolium ring is planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å). An intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs in the anion. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H⋯O inter­action between the cations and anions form two sets of R₂²(8) graph-set ring motifs. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between these lead to a criss-cross pattern along the b axis. In addition to the classical hydrogen bonds, a weak C—H⋯π(pyrazolium) inter­action is observed and contributes to crystal packing. All of these inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a two-dimensional supra­molecular framework parallel to (10-1).
