The title compound, NH4+·C6H5SO4, consists of a 4-hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate anion and an ammonium cation which are linked together through O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of an intricate three-dimensional hydrogen-bond network.

Comment top

Hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid is a useful intermediate in dye stuff and chemical synthesis(Yang et al., 2003). Many crystalline compounds of 4-hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid have been previously reported (Kosnic et al., 1992; Bu et al., 2000; Jin et al., 2004). Moreover, there are numerous examples of metal benzenesulfonate molecular complexes (Schreuer, 1999; Rombke et al., 2003).

The 4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate anion is linked to the ammonium cation by strong N—H···O hydrogen bond (Fig. 1, Table 1). The S—O distances are comparable to those previously reported for sulfonates (Gunderman et al., 1997; Chen et al., 2004; Sharma et al., 2005).

The packing arrangement in the crystal structure is governed by the occurrence of strong O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds between anions and cations resulting in the formation of an intricated three dimensionnal hydrogen bond network (Table 1, Fig. 2). Moreover, weak slipped π-π stacking exists between symmetry related rings (1 - x, -y, -z) with a centroid to centroid distances of 3.621 (1)Å and an interplanar distance of 3.40 Å resulting in an offset angle of 20.1°. This π-π stackings further stabilize the structure.

Experimental top

4-hydroxybenzene sulfonic acid and famotidine in a 1:1 molar ratio were mixed and dissolved in sufficient acetone by heating to a temperature at which a clear solution resulted. Ammonium cations were split up from molecules of famotidine in the course. Thus crystals of (I) were formed by gradual evaporation of acetone over a period of three days at 298 K.

Refinement top

H atoms attaching to O and N atoms were deduced from difference Fourier maps, and incorporated in refinement freely. Others were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms at distances of 0.94Å for aromatic group, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C).

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.
