(Received 23 November 2010; accepted 6 December 2010; online 18 December 2010)

In the cation of the title compound, C12H15N4+·C7H6NO2, the benzene ring makes dihedral angles of 30.51 (9) and 25.64 (9)° with the imidazole and imidazolinium rings, respectively. In the crystal, inter­molecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Attention has been recently focused on the use of supramolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions, in the controlled assembly of supramolecular architectures (Jeffrey, 1997). Hydrogen bonds often play a dominant role in crystal engineering because of they combine strength with directionality. On the other hand, supramolecular systems sustained by such soft connections are comparatively more flexible and sensitive to the chemical environment. Consequently, hydrogen bond sustained systems are less designable and remain to be further investigated. We have reported several complexes having an imidazole entity, and have concluded that hydrogen bonding involving this group influences the geometry around the metal atom and the crystallization mechanism (Ren, Ye, He et al., 2004; Ren, Ye, Zhu et al., 2004; Ren, et al., 2007; Ren, et al., 2009). As a further contribution to this field, we describe herein the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound (Fig. 1) contains one 1-(4,5-dihydro-1H,3H-imidazol-2-yl)-4-(4,5-dihydro- 1H-imidazolinium-2-yl)benzene cation ands one 4-aminobenzoate anion. In the cation, both the imidazole (N2/N3/C8—C10) and imidazolinium rings adopt an envelope conformation, with atoms C11 and C14 displaced by -0.048 (2) and 0.018 (2) Å, respectively, from plane of the other ring atoms. The dihedral angle they form with the benzene ring is 30.51 (9) and 25.64 (9)°, respectively. In the crystal structure, intramolecular N—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen interactions (Table 1) link the molecules into a three-dimensional network (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

All the reagents and solvents employed were commercially available and used as received without further purification. Synthesis of 1,4-bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene: a mixture of 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (2.31 g, 13.9 mmol), ethylenediamine (3.70 ml, 50 mmol), ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (6.64 g, 50 mmol) and toluene-p-sulfonic acid (0.208 g, 1.09 mmol) in ethyleneglycol (20 ml) was refluxed at 198°C for 3 h. About half of the ethylene glycol solvent was then slowly removed by distillation at 120°C. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of water (40 ml) and concentrated hydrochloric acid (11 M, 3 ml). The addition of 50% aqueous sodium hydroxide gave a yellow precipitate that was recrystallized by methanol (yield 83% based on 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; ca 2.50 g). Calc. for C12H14N4: C 67.27; H 6.59; N 26.15%. Found: C 66.98; H 6.92; N 26.08%. IR (KBr, cm-1): 3188(m), 2936(m), 2866(m), 1606(s), 1532(s), 1466(s), 1345(m), 1270(s), 1191(w), 1080(w), 981(m), 855(m). Synthesis of the title compound: to a solution of 1,4-bis(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene (0.0043 g, 0.02 mmol) in methanol (1 ml), an acetonitrile solution (1 ml) of 4-aminobenzoic acid (0.0027 g, 0.021 mmol) was added and stirred for 10 min at room temperature. Diethyl ether (10 ml) was then added and the solution was allowed to slowly evaporate at room temperature for 25 h. Colourless prismatic crystals of the title compound were obtained, which were collected by filtration, washed with water and dried in vacuum desiccator over silica gel (yield 0.0034 g, 39%). IR (KBr,cm-1): 3433(w), 3089(m), 2966(w), 1595(s), 1514(w), 1380(s), 1282(m), 675(m).

Refinement top

Anisotropic thermal parameters were applied to all nonhydrogen atoms. The organic hydrogen atoms attached to C atoms and N atom were fixed geometrically and treated as riding with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic) or 0.97 Å (methylene) and N—H = 0.86 Å with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C or N).

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.
