In the title compound, C3H5N2+·C4H3O4, the dihedral angle between the imidazolium ring and the plane formed by the fumarate anion is 80.98 (6)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form extended chains along [100] and [01[\overline{1}]], creating a two-dimensional network.

This work is part of a series of studies on the structural behavior of imidazole derivatives. Imidazole molecule is a heterocyclic compound which is present in important biological building blocks such as histidine, histamine, guanine (Tudek et al., 1992). The analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti pyretic properties of imidazole have been reported (Puig-Parellada et al., 1973). In search of systems that form cyclic motifs linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, our research group focused its attention on the structural properties of molecular complex formed by fumaric acid (FUM) and imidazole (IM) moieties (I). The general crystallographic behavior of fumaric acid (Bednowitz & Post, 1966) and the imidazole free molecules (McMullan, et al., 1979) may be used as reference systems in order to compare to the title imidazolium salt. A displacement ellipsoid plot of (I) with the atomic numbering scheme is shown in Figure 1. The free molecule of fumaric acid as well as other organic acids, are characterized by forming dimers in their structures. In the formation of the title adduct (I), dimers of fumaric acid decompose, to gain new and stronger hydrogen bonds and a more stable structure with imidazole moiety (see Table 1), (Nardelli, 1995). The C4–O4 bond length changes from 1.290 (5) in free fumaric acid molecule (Bednowitz & Post, 1966) to 1.2664 (17) Å in (I). The title structure shows a dihedral angle of 80.98 (6)° between the imidazole ring and the plane formed by FUM molecule. The other bond lengths and bond angles of (I) are in good agreement with the standard values and correspond to those observed in the free molecules. The transference of the proton from one of the carboxylic acid groups of FUM molecule to the basic N-atom of the IM molecule is carried out. This proton transfer allows the formation of new interactions in the FUM-IM adduct. The title adduct is characterized by the formation of hydrogen-bond interactions between O—H···O and N—H···O. One of the strongest hydrogen bond O—H···O interaction is responsible for crystal growth in [100] direction. Indeed, in a first substructure, atom O4 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen bond donor to carboxyl O1i atom in the molecule at (x + 1, y, z). The propagation of this interaction forms a C(7) (Etter, 1990) chain running along [100] direction (Fig. 2). In a second substructure, atom N2ii in the molecule at (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z) acts as hydrogen bond donor to the atom O3 in the molecule at (x, y, z). While the atom N1i in the molecule at (-x + 1, -y, -z + 1) acts as hydrogen bond donor to carboxy O4 atom in the molecule at (x, y, z). These interactions form C(8) chains which are running parallel to the [01–1] direction (Fig.3). All of these interactions in [100], and [01–1] directions define the overall two dimensional network.

Experimental top

The synthesis of the title adduct (I) was carried out by slow evaporation of equimolar quantities of fumaric acid (0.739 g, 637 mmol) and imidazole (0.433 g,) in 100 ml of aqueous solution of methyl alcohol at 2%. After 3 days, colourless prisms of poor quality, with a melting point greater than 424 K, were formed. Crystalline sample decomposes at temperatures greater than this value. The initial reagents were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Co., and were used as received.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were located from difference maps and were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model with (C—H= 0.93, N—H= 0.86 and O—H= 0.82 A°) and Uiso(H) (in the range 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom).

In the formation of the title adduct (I), dimers of fumaric acid decompose, to gain new and stronger hydrogen bonds and a more stable structure with imidazole moiety (see Table 1), (Nardelli, 1995). The C4–O4 bond length changes from 1.290 (5) in free fumaric acid molecule (Bednowitz & Post, 1966) to 1.2664 (17) Å in (I).

Indeed, in a first substructure, atom O4 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen bond donor to carboxyl O1i atom in the molecule at (x + 1, y, z). The propagation of this interaction forms a C(7) (Etter, 1990) chain running along [100] direction (Fig. 2). In a second substructure, atom N2ii in the molecule at (-x + 1, -y + 1, -z) acts as hydrogen bond donor to the atom O3 in the molecule at (x, y, z). While the atom N1i in the molecule at (-x + 1, -y, -z + 1) acts as hydrogen bond donor to carboxy O4 atom in the molecule at (x, y, z). These interactions form C(8) chains which are running parallel to the [01–1] direction (Fig.3). All of these interactions in [100], and [01–1] directions define the overall two dimensional network.

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.
