The title salt, C13H12N3+·H2PO4, contains a nonplanar 2-(2-amino­phenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium cation and two different dihydrogen phosphate anions, both situated on twofold rotation axes in the space group C2. The anions are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of R22(8) rings. The anion chains are linked by the cations, via hydrogen-bonding complementarities and electrostatic inter­actions, giving rise to a sheet structure with alternating rows of organic cations and inorganic anions. Comparison of this structure with that of the pure amine reveals that the two compounds generate characteristically different sheet structures. The anion–anion chain serves as a template for the assembly of the cations, suggesting a possible application in the design of solid-state materials.

Comment top

Anions serve as useful building blocks for the formation of self-assembled supramolecular architectures in both organic and inorganic systems (Gale, 2000, 2001). They can assemble in well defined fashions and, by relying on the combined strength of electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions, it is possible to generate reproducible topologies. Partially protonated oxoanions derived from sulfuric and phosphoric acids are two such interesting systems (Braga et al., 2004). We are particularly interested in observing how dihydrogen phosphate would assemble and its role in molecular association. In this context, we report here the preparation and structural characterization of the title salt, 2-(2-aminophenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-3-ium dihydrogen phosphate, (I). Benzimidazolylaniline (BIMD) is a derivative of pharmaceutically useful benzimidazole compounds (Velík et al., 2004, and references therein).

The asymmetric unit of (I) (Fig. 1) comprises one BIMD cation, and one-half of two different dihydrogen phosphate (DPH) anions (P1/O1/O2 and P2/O3/O4) lying across two-fold rotation axes along (0, y, 1/2) and (0, y, 0), respectively. BIMD is non-planar, with the planes of the benzimidazole heterocycle (N1/C2/N3/C3a/C4–C7/C7a) and aniline (N14/C8–C13) making an angle of 38.6 (1)°; the N1—C2—C8—C13 torsion angle is 36.7 (4)°. In DPH, the two P—O distances for the OH groups, as expected, are significantly longer [P1—O2 = 1.561 (2) and P2—O4 = 1.563 (2) Å] than the other two [P1—O1 = 1.5015 (17) and P2—O3 = 1.4996 (17) Å].

In (I), the H2PO4- units are linked by two O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form an R22(8) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995). The hydrogen bond involving atom O2 as donor is the more nearly linear of these and has a shorter H···O distance. The R22(8) ring motif, extending on either side, gives rise to a chain (Fig. 2). This hydrogen-bonded anionic framework serves as template for the assembly of the cations, resulting in a sheet structure parallel to the bc plane with alternate rows of cations and anions. Due to amine–imine tautomerism, there are two equivalent salt links, N3+—H3···O1- and N1+—H1···O3i- [symmetry code: (i) x, 1 + y, z]. The sheet, apart from the salt bridges, is stabilized by N14—H14A···O1 hydrogen bonds. Intersheet contact is maintained by C11—H11···O4ii [symmetry code: (ii) 1/2 + x, 1/2 + y, 1 + z] and van der Waals interactions. Atom H14B does not participate in any non-bonded interaction scheme. However, this is not an unusual observation in the case of amino groups. The characteristic sheet structure in the present example is mainly the result of the complimentary nature of the molecules, i.e. one with an excess of donors and the other deficient in them, in an attempt to make up this numerical imbalance. Using the idea of hydrogen-bond complementarity, which involves both geometric factors and a suitable balance of the number of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors, several self-assembled supramolecular architectures have been designed (Aakerby & Schultheiss, 2007, and references therein).

The structure of the desalted compound, namely 2-(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)aniline, (II), in space group Pbca has been reported previously (Das et al., 2003; Shylaja et al., 2008). It is interesting to compare the packing of salt (I) with its pure derivative, (II), primarily because (II) is deficient in acceptors while (I) has an excess of them. The packing in (II) is characterized by BIMD molecules forming a sheet structure in the ab plane. BIMD molecules are arranged into a linear chain via intermolecular N—H···N hydrogen bonds along the b axis. These chains are linked into sheets by N—H···π and C—H···π interactions (shown in Supplementary Fig. 3). In view of the inadequate number of acceptors, the energetically next favourable π-acceptors are utilized to fulfil this imbalance and maximize lattice interactions. The hierarchical choice of intermolecular interactions is a phenomenological rule governing supramolecular assembly.

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.28; Allen, 2002) revealed 27 examples of hydrogen-bonded DPH, forming R22(8) rings and extending into infinite linear chains (CSD refcodes: ACUXIG, BIDPEJ, CLQUON01, CPAIMZ, DASNUH, DAYHOB, DUNHID, EDUQUP, EJEGAB, FAXGUH, FEDMIL, FIJHEL, GEXXAI, GOLTOQ, IDAPE101, ISUZIF, LELXIJ, MATKAT, MPHAZP, NELVUV, PAMRAX, PROCPH, REZNEP, SASBIX, SEGGER, SODCUJ and XAPRUC). FAXGUH and IDAPE101 are examples of metal-coordinated DPH. HAHGED [Not in list above?] is another example containing extended nonlinear chains of R22(8) type, forming a honeycomb structure (Braga et al., 2004). Some interesting packings have been observed. The oxoanion–oxoanion one-dimensional motif in NELVUV gives rise to a sheath-like structure of cations around it (Light et al., 2001). In LELXIJ, the linear DPH chains form a hydrated layer structure, resulting in alternating cationic and anionic layers (Braga et al., 1999) The oligomeric assembly of DPH observed in (I) serves as an interesting example of a template-assembled supramolecular architecture.

Experimental top

Initially, compound (II) was synthesized by the standard phosphoric acid cyclization, i.e. the Phillips method (Phillips, 1928a,b), by heating equimolar quantities of technical grade 1,2 phenylenediamine and 2-aminobenzoic acid (anthranilic acid) in polyphosphoric acid for 4 h at about 473 K [yield 60%; m.p. 484 (1) K]. Compound (I) was prepared from (II) by dissolving it in ethanol and adding dropwise an equimolar quantity of 85% syrupy orthophosphoric acid. The resulting grey precipitate was filtered off, washed with water and dried at 323–333 K in an oven [yield 86%; m.p. 545 (1) K]. Compound (I) was crystallized from a mixture of methanol and water (70:30 v/v) by slow evaporation; colourless crystals appeared within a week.

The second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of (I) was measured relative to potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) by a standard powder technique (Kurtz & Perry, 1968) using a Nd:YAG laser (λ = 1064 nm, 8 ns pulse and 3.4 mJ P-1 [P is the poise, a unit of viscosity. Should it be `per pulse'?]). The compound exhibits a weak activity of 0.15 times that of KDP.

As the CSD search was quite time-consuming it was carried out in stages. Firstly, a sub-database of 132 structures containing dimeric DPH units was created. The final search for infinitely extended chains was then carried out using this sub-database, yielding 27 hits.

Refinement top

H atoms attached to N and O atoms were refined isotropically, with N—H and O—H distances restrained in the ranges 0.88 (1)–0.89 (1) and 0.81 (1)–0.82 (1) Å, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(N,O). H atoms attached to aromatic C atoms were positioned geometrically, with Car—H distances of 0.93 Å, and refined as riding on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The correct absolute structure was established by the anomalous dispersion effect of the P atoms (1224 Bijvoet pairs), as described by the Flack parameter value of 0.02 (10) (Flack, 1983; Flack & Bernardinelli, 1999). In the refined structure, compound (I) contains an intramolecular N14—H14A···N3 short contact, as also observed in (II).

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.
