Aniline (99.8%, Acros) was purified via the preparation of anilinium chloride as follows. Raw aniline was mixed with 2 M HCl with cooling and the solution filtered through active carbon. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and crystallization of anilinium chloride was carried out in a refrigerator. The crystals were filtered off and washed with a small amount of cold water. The wet product was dissolved in water subsequently alkalized by the addition of NaHCO3, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform four times. The organic phases were collected, washed once with water and dried using anhydrous Na2SO4. After filtration, the solution was evaporated in vacuo, providing purified aniline. This was mixed with ~0.03 M H3PO4 (Lachema, pure 85%), the concentration of which was determined by titration on methyl orange, in a 1:1.5 molar ratio. The resulting mixture was stirred with heating at 313 K and further diluted in order to dissolve the small amount of salts formed immediately upon mixing. Finally, the solution was filtered and the filtrate was left to crystallize very slowly in air at room temperature.
Aromatic H atoms were refined isotropically with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C), and their positions were constrained to an ideal geometry using an appropriate riding model (C—H = 0.95 Å). For the NH3 groups, C—N—H angles (109.5°) were kept fixed, while the torsion angles were allowed to refine with starting positions based on the circular Fourier synthesis averaged using the local threefold axis, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N) and a constrained N—H distance of 0.98 Å. The positions of the H atoms of the dihydrogen phosphate anions were constrained to an ideal geometry, keeping the O—H bond length fixed at 0.84 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(O).

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. |

Anilinium dihydrogen phosphate, (I), belongs to the class of substances that are studied as promising proton conductors, and of which the several important physical properties have roots in the presence of specifically spatially arranged hydrogen bonds of suitable energies. The salt provides a convenient model for proton-conducting materials based on dihydrogen phosphates of organic cations that can form organic ionic plastic crystals (Pringle et al., 2010), and for proton-conducting membranes involving similar building blocks like the membranes employing poly(benzimidazole-co-aniline) (Bhadra et al., 2010).
As the presence of water in the structures of proton-conducting salts usually undesirably decreases their chemical stability and makes them unsuitable for applications at elevated temperatures (Kroupa & Fuith, 1993), where various superprotonic and plastic phases are expected to exist, we have attempted to prepare a compound chemically related to anilinium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (Anderson et al., 2006) but crystallizing without water. This work was undertaken in order to determine the geometry of the hydrogen bonds, which can prove crucial for understanding the mechanism of proton transfer.
The atom-numbering scheme of the anilinium cations and dihydrogen phosphate anions of (I) is shown in Fig. 1. The structure is formed of separate organic and inorganic layers alternating along the b axis (Fig. 2). The building blocks of the inorganic layer are deformed H2PO4 tetrahedra with two narrow groups of O—P—O bond angles (median values ~105 and ~ 111°) and with the P—O bond lengths falling into two groups (Table 1); the protonated P—O vertices show the expected lengthening compared with the other, presumably P═O, bonds (Blessing, 1986; Mahmoudkhani & Langer, 2002; Demir et al., 2003; Smrčok et al., 2009; Balamurugan et al., 2010; Kaman et al., 2011; Marouani et al., 2011). Examination of the geometry of the anilinium cations forming the organic layers shows that the values of the bond distances, bond angles and torsion angles have expected values (Elmokhtar et al., 1995).
The dihydrogen phosphate anions of (I) are assembled into infinite `ladders' by short and hence strong hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3 and Table 2). The hydrogen bonds with atoms O6 and O10 acting as donors have the shortest O···O separations and, according to the standard classification, they fall within the range for very strong hydrogen bonds, while the other O—H···O hydrogen bonds are ranked as moderately strong hydrogen bonds (Jeffrey, 1997). Considering the flexibility of this arrangement, it is suggested that proton mobility would not be enabled just by simple proton transfer along the O—H···O hydrogen bonds, but also by some reorientational movements of the H2PO4 tetrahedra.
The bond lengths and angles in the anilinium cations of (I) are all normal for this moiety. The anilinium cations act as triple donors of N—H···O hydrogen bonds, crosslinking the dihydrogen phosphate chains of adjacent ladders (Fig. 4). Two H atoms of each –NH3 group form one normal and one bifurcated N—H···O hydrogen bond to the double-bonded O atoms of two tetrahedra of a chain, while the third H atom bonds to the nearest O atom of an adjacent chain. The bifurcated N—H···O hydrogen bonds have recognizable major and minor parts and, in addition to their different lengths, also have very different N—H···O hydrogen-bond angles (Table 2).
In line with the individual N···O separations, these hydrogen bonds formally belong to three groups. Firstly, three rather short and thus strong bonds with N···O separations in the range 2.743 (3)–2.791 (2) Å, secondly five medium-strong hydrogen bonds lying in the range 2.818 (2)–2.924 (2) Å, and finally four weaker hydrogen bonds with the largest N···O separations, viz. 2.965 (2)–3.296 (2) Å. Considering the unimodal distribution of well defined N···O contact distances (Kumara Swamy et al., 2001), the N···O distances of the first and third groups are among those found less frequently, being either significantly shorter or longer than the mean value. The values in the second group agree well with those most frequently reported. Due to the various bonding opportunities, the range of N···O contact distances is noticeably broader in (I) than in chemically related structures, e.g. bis(4-hydroxyanilinium) dihydrogen diphosphate monohydrate (Soumhi & Jouini, 1995), 2-aminopyrimidinium dihydrogen phosphate monohydrate (Marouani et al., 2011), p-phenylazoanilinium phenylphosphonate (Mahmoudkhani & Langer, 2002) or tris(methylammonium) hydrogen phosphate dihydrogen phosphate (Fábry et al., 2006).
Considering the strength of the N—H···O hydrogen bonds in (I), it can be assumed that their dynamics have an impact on proton mobility along the strong O—H···O hydrogen bonds and vice versa. The strength of both O—H···O and N—H···O hydrogen bonds is also documented by the absence of standard ν(OH) and ν(NH) bands in the IR spectrum of (I) and their replacement with a diffuse asymmetric band rising slowly from ~2000 cm-1 and ending sharply at ~3600 cm-1. Despite favorable centroid–centroid distances between the phenyl rings, their mutual orientations effectively prevent the formation of π–π interactions.
