In the title compound, C18H22N2O42+·2NO3, the cation is centrosymmetric. The asymmetric unit consists of one half-cation and one anion. The mol­ecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and by dipolar O—C...O—C inter­actions, forming a chain of edge-fused R44(18) rings and a chain of R22(4) rings.

Comment top

The crystal of the compound (I), was obtained unexpectedly in the prepartion of a lanthanum complex with N,N'-bis (3,4-methenedioxybenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine. Here, we report the crystal structure and supramolecular arrangement of (I), (Fig.1).

In the supramolecular arrangement of (I), the reference molecule is selected to lie across a center of inversion (1/2, 0, 0) in monoclinic space group C2/c, the asymmetric unit contains of one half–cation and one anion, cation and anion are linked by N—H···O [H1···O3 = 1.89 (4) Å, N1—H1A···O3 =175 °] hydrogen bonds (Table1).

In the crystal structure of (I), the molecules are linked by N—H···O [H1b···O4ii = 1.98 Å, N1—H1b···O4ii = 173°, symmetry codes: (ii) x, -1 + y, z] hydrogen bonds, the amino N1 atoms at (x, y, z) and (1 - x, -y, -z) in the molecules centred at (1/2, 0, 0) act as hydrogen-bond donors, via H1b, to the nitrate O4 atoms at (x, -1 + y, z) and (1 - x, 1 - y, -z), respectively, which themselves are parts of the molecules centred at (1/2, -1, 0) and (1/2, 1, 0), respectively (Fig. 2). Propagation by translation of this two hydrogen bonds along [010] direction then generates a chain of edge-fused R44(18) rings (Bernstein et al., 1995) running along (1/2,y,0) axis (Fig. 2).

The molecules are linked by dipolar O—C···O—C [C9—O2i = 3.101 (5) Å, O2—C9···O2i = 77.5 (2)°; symmetry codes: (i) 1/2 - x, 3/2 - y, -z] interactions (Bondi, 1964) into a chain of R22(4) rings, the atom C9 at (x, y, z) in the cation centred at (1/2, 0, 0) act as donor to O2 at (1/2 - x, 3/2 - y, -z) in the cation centred at (0, 3/2, 0), generating a chain of R22(4) rings along [1 3 0] (Fig. 3). The combination of the [0 1 0] chain and the [1 3 0] chain generates a [0 0 1] sheet. Adjacent sheets were linked by the further N—H···O and C—H···O hydrogen bonds and the crystal sturecture was stabilized (Table. 1).

Experimental top

To a solution containing N,N'-bis(4-chlorobenzyl)ethane-1,2-diamine (1.71 g, 5 mmol) and ethanol 30 ml, a solution of lanthanum nitrate (1.08 g, 5 mmol) and methanol (10 ml) was added with stirring for 3 h at 333 K, and then the white solid obtained was filtered off, washed with ethanol in proper order and dried at room temperture. Colourless crystal of (I) suitatble for X-ray structure analysis were obtained by slow evaporation from the solution of DMF-EtOH(1:3) over a period of one month (m.p. 501 - 503 K).

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with N—H = 0.90 Å, C—H = 0.93 - 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C, N) for all H atoms.

Special details top

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.
