Comment top

Zwitterionic pyridinioacetate (Szafran et al., 1998) is a betaine that affords a plethora of metal carboxylate complexes (Cambridge Structural Database, Version 5.25; Allen, 2002). With a hydroxy substituent at the 3-position of the pyridine ring, the resulting compound exists in either a zwitterionic or an uncharged configuration (Zhao et al., 2004). We changed experimental conditions to yield a new compound, (I), whose crystal structure is reported here.

One of the O atoms of the delocalized carboxyl group (–CO2) of the 3-hydroxypyridinium-1-acetate zwitterion is linked to the carboxylic acid group of the adjacent cation through a short hydrogen bond [O4···O7 = 2.482 (2) Å] (Fig. 1). This is shorter than that reported in 1-carboxymethyl-3-hydroxypyridinium chloride–3-hydroxypyridinium-1-acetate (1/1) [2.519 (2) Å; Zhao et al., 2004]. The other O atom of the zwitterion forms a hydrogen bond to the 3-hydroxy group of an adjacent cation, giving rise to a cation ring motif with the nitrate anions beside the ring and linked through hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

An aqueous solution of 3-hydroxypyridine (9.55 g, 0.10 mol) and sodium hydroxide (4.00 g, 0.10 mol) was reacted with an aqueous solution of chloroacetic acid (14.18 g, 0.10 mol) that had been neutralized with sodium hydroxide (6.00 g, 0.15 mol). The pH of the mixture was approximately 9–10. The mixture was refluxed for 5 h and the cooled solution was treated with 0.05 M nitric acid to a pH of 2–3. The solution was then filtered and colourless crystals of (I) were obtained after several days. Analysis calculated for C14H15N3O9: C 45.54, H 4.09, N 11.38%; found: C 45.66, H 4.19, N 11.26%.

Refinement top

The acid and hydroxy H atoms were located and refined isotropically, with the O—H distance restrained to 0.85 (1) Å. All other H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with aromatic C—H = 0.93 Å and aliphatic C—H = 0.97 Å, and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C).
