The structure of the ionic title compound, (C5H7N6)2[Nd2(C5O5)4(H2O)8], consists of anionic dimers built around an inversion centre and is made up of an NdIII cation, two croconate (croco) dianions and four water mol­ecules (plus their inversion images), with two noncoordinated symmetry-related 2,6-diamino-1H-purin-3-ium (Hdap+) cations providing charge balance. Each NdIII atom is bound to nine O atoms from four water and three croco units. The coordination polyhedron has the form of a rather regular monocapped square anti­prism. The croconate anions are regular and the Hdap+ cation presents a unique, thus far unreported, proton­ation state. The abundance of hydrogen-bonding donors and acceptors gives rise to a complex packing scheme consisting of dimers inter­linked along the three crystallographic directions and defining anionic `cages' where the unbound Hdap+ cations lodge, linking to the mainframe via (N—H)Hdap...Owater/croco and (O—H)water...NHdap inter­ac­tions.

2,6-Diaminopurine (dap) is a highly interactive entity that, because of its many active sites, can take part in complex hydrogen-bonding interaction networks, either as a donor or acceptor. In spite of these capabilities, few structures surveying the molecule are known so far. We have recently reported (Atria et al., 2010) two structures in which the molecule acts as a free base [(2,6-diamino-9H-purine monohydrate, (IIa)] and as a cation [bis(2,6-diamino-9H-purin-1-ium) 2-(2-carboxylatophenyl)acetate heptahydrate, (IIb)] and in both a complicated hydrogen-bonding scheme builds up as a result of the intermolecular interactions.

Croconate (croco), the dianion of 4,5-dihydroxy-4-cyclopentene -1,2,3-trione, C5O5 2-, is a member of the cyclic oxocarbons family of general formula CnOn (n = 3, deltate; n = 4, squarate; n = 5, croconate; and n = 6, rhodizonate). It can act as a versatile polydentate ligand owing to its five different coordination sites, thus enabling it to bind to metal ions via an impressive number of different coordination modes, many of them only recently reported. Fig. 1 presents an updated survey of the 22 different modes adopted by croconate in complexes [source: Cambridge Structural Database (CSD), version 5.31, Allen, 2002], sorted in ascending order of coordination number and covering the range 1 to 5 plus an amazing outlier with µ = 8.

In pursuit of our current interest in lanthanide metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) with profuse hydrogen-bonding interactions, the inclusion of both dap and croco was an appealing prospect both from the coordination as well as the hydrogen-bonding point of view. Herein we present the first successful results in this series, with Nd as the lanthanide. The Nd–croconate complex obtained {[NdIII(croco)2(H2O)4]2} 2-.2Hdap +, (I), even if not a polymer as expected, presents an attractive dimeric structure with tight non-covalent interlinkage, leading to a `nested' hydrogen-bonding structure.

Dinuclear units of (I) are built up around an inversion centre (Fig. 2), the independent part consisting of a NdIII centre, two croconate anions and four water molecules. The two negative charges of the resulting dimer are balanced by two non-coordinated, symmetry-related Hdap+ cations. Each Hdap+ is coordinated by nine oxygen atoms in total (Table 1), four of them water molecules [O1W O4W, Nd—Owater range: 2.439 (2)–2.555 (2) Å], the remaining five provided by three croco groups [O12, O22, O11, O21, O31i, (i): -x + 2, -y + 2, -z + 1, Nd—Ocroco range: 2.455 (2)–2.570 (2) Å]. The coordination polyhedron has the form of a rather regular monocapped square antiprism (Fig. 2, inset), with O1W in the capping position and (O12, O22, O3W , O31i ) and (O11, O21, O2W, O4W) defining the upper/lower bases, respectively. One of the croco anions (trailing label 2) acts in a simple κ2O,O' chelating fashion though O12 and O22, while the remaining one (trailing label 1), in addition to chelation via O11 and O21, also involves a third oxygen (O31) displaying a final µ2κ3 O,O':O" coordination mode. This results in the formation of large (Nd–O–C–C–O)2 centrosymmetric bridging rings, linking individual Nd(croco)2(H2O)4 monomers into the dimeric structural units shown in Fig. 2.

The binding modes observed in I occur with different frequency in the literature. The first one is the most common (1a in Fig. 1) and 26 of the 66 entries in the CSD show this pattern, while the second one is among the rarest (mode 2g in Fig. 1) with only one appearance (Ghoshal et al., 2005). In this latter structure, however, the bridging mode gives rise to an infinite, corrugated two-dimensional assembly of copper coordination polyhedra instead of the isolated dimers found in (I).

The geometry of the croco ligands is regular and both moieties display symmetries close to D2h. C—O bond lengths within each unit present maximum percentage differences of 1.6 and 2.9%, respectively, which can be considered small when compared with other croco complexes in the literature (for example Chen et al., 1990, with differences larger than 10.3% and symmetries closer to C2v).

The Hdap+ cation is planar, with a mean deviation of 0.0193 (12) Å and a maximum departure from the least-squares plane (for atom C23) of 0.0431 (14) Å. Planarity extends to the two amino groups, coplanar with the rest of the molecule and in this respect similar to the only other Hdap+ unit so far reported [structure (IIb), Atria et al., 2010] but different from the neutral, unprotonated ones presented either in the same paper or in Atria et al. (2009), in both of which one of the two amines is significantly pyramidal; this different degree of planarity in the NH2 groups is not uncommon in diamino aromatic groups and might be due to the ability of the delocalized π-system of the ring to accommodate charge from one amino group, but not both, in the extended resonance structure (Linden, 2010).

Notwithstanding these analogies, there are also significant differences between the Hdap+ ions in (I) and (IIb). Protonation of the diaminopurine takes place at different nitrogen sites, both at the imidazole [N2 in (I), N1 in (IIb)] as well as the pyrimidine groups [N4 in (I), N3 in (IIb); see Scheme 2]. This forces rearrangement of the charge distribution and the positioning of single/double bonds along the rings (Scheme 2). The outstanding hydrogen-bonding capability of Hdap, however, does not seem to be modified by the different H disposition, as shown in Table 2. The table presents the 15 hydrogen bonds in the structure, which define a tight three-dimensional hydrogen-bonding network consisting of an (anionic) mesh of dimeric units (where all the water H atoms except H2WB, see below, are involved), giving rise to columnar `cages' where the Hdap+ cations reside.

The mesh can be imagined as built up in a two-step process. Firstly, through six (O—H)water···Ocroco interactions (Table 2, entries 2–3, 5–8) giving rise to six types of Rnm rings (Bernstein et al., 1995) and defining broad two-dimensional structures parallel to (100) (Fig. 3). Secondly, through the connection of these `planes' along [100] via the hydrogen bonds involving O1W (Table 2 , entries 1–2 and Fig. 4 ).

These interconnections define the columnar `cages' centred at x \sim 0.5, z ~0.0 and evolving along [010]; O2W is the only water molecule not entirely devoted to `mesh building', but it acts instead as a bridge joining both ion types. Thus, the Hdap+ counterions in the `cages' link to the mainframe through this latter (O—H)water···NHdap bond (Table 2, entry 4), one (N—H)Hdap···Owater (Table 2, entry 13) and six (N—H)Hdap···Ocroco interactions (Table 2, entries 9–12, 14–15). This gives rise to a large number of hydrogen-bonding rings, displayed in Fig. 5, where the nearest-neighbour environment of one such Hdap+ cation is shown. This is a strikingly planar two-dimensional substructure where all aromatic rings (both the free Hdaps as well as the coordinated crocos) lay [lie?] almost parallel to each other with a mean deviation of 0.196 (8) Å from their least-squares plane, parallel to (1 0 1). These planar arrays are a direct consequence of the extreme directionality of the hydrogen bonds connecting the intervening aromatic units. Similarly, planar dispositions have already been described in a number of structures containing dap or Hdap derivatives, either crystallizing alone [for example (IIa) in Atria et al., 2010] or with aromatic partners [for example Sakore et al., 1969, (IIb) in Atria et al., 2010]. In all these cases, these planes dispose in pairs, parallel to each other at a graphitic distance from one another, usually the result of a number of π···π interactions connecting planes. In the present case, however, even if a similar `multilayer' structure of such planes exists (Fig. 6), the possibility of optimizing stacking interactions appears precluded by coordination of the croco ligands, which anchors them relative to the cation sites in detriment of an optimal stacking geometry. This was confirmed with the help of the program PLATON (Spek, 2009), which did not indicate any relevant π···π contacts between layers.

The most appealing aspects of compound (I), as in related dap/Hdap structures which we have studied so far (Atria et al., 2009, 2010), reside in the rich supramolecular structure arising from the ensemble of simple but highly interacting molecular units. We are currently working towards obtaining new members of this lanthanide–(dap/Hdap) family.

Experimental top

An ethanolic solution of croconic acid (0.050 g, 0.035 mmol) and 2,6-diaminopurine (0.070 g, 0.47 mmol) was added to an aqueous solution (400 ml) of neodymium nitrate (0.1539 g, 0.35 mmol), previously heated to about 343–353 K for 10 min under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 24 h, cooled to room temperature and filtered. Crystals adequate for X-ray diffraction analysis were obtained within a few days by slow evaporation of the solution. The whole process was carried out in the dark.

Refinement top

The two largest residual electron-density peaks (circa 3.30 e Å-3) lie opposite each other at 0.85 Å from atom Nd1. All H atoms were clearly visible in a difference Fourier, but they were treated differently in the refinement: H atoms attached to C atoms were repositioned at their calculated locations and allowed to ride (C—H = 0.95 Å). Those attached to O and N atoms were further refined with a restrained O/N—H distance of 0.85 (2) Å (an s.u. of 0.01 Å was used to restrain the O—H distances in waters O3W and O4W). In all cases, Uiso(H) values were taken as 1.2Ueq(host). There is an artifact regarding refinement, which is not unique to the present structure but has already been observed in other complexes we recently reported (Perec & Baggio, 2010). Although there is clear synthetic and analytical evidence for the composition of the title compound (see Experimental section), significantly lower R indices can be obtained when the structure is refined with a different metallic species (in the present case, for instance, La instead of Nd). However, despite many indicators favouring the substituting cation (lower R factors, smaller residual electron-density peaks etc.), the Hirshfeld tests implemented in PLATON checkCIF generate a high number of alerts for the La refinement but none for the Nd refinement, thus indicating an incorrect assignment of atom type in the former case. We have no simple explanation for this paradox.

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.
