(Received 9 November 2007; accepted 7 December 2007; online 12 December 2007)

The crystal structure of the title compound, C4H7N5·CH4O, is determined by an extensive network of hydrogen bonding. A sequence of centrosymmetric dimeric associations, formed by two different N—H(amino)⋯N(ring) hydrogen bonds, connects the triazine rings into a planar mol­ecular tape. The methanol solvent mol­ecules act as di-acceptors and mono-donors of hydrogen bonds and inter­link, almost perpendicularly, the hydrogen-bonded tapes into a three-dimensional structure.

Triazine compounds are used in pharmaceutical industry as coupling agents for the synthesis of peptides and as side chain of antibiotics, as well as in formulating bactericides and fungicides. 2,4-Diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (acetoguanamine) is used as an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and as a modifier and flexibilizer of formaldehyde resins (Šebenik et al. 1989, Tashiro et al.1981). The title compound, 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine methanol solvate, was isolated during the efforts to prepare new lanthanide macrocyclic complexes as part of our research program involving the study of the coordination template effect in generating the supramolecular Schiff base macrocycles derived from various diamines and dicarbonyls (Radecka-Paryzek et al. 2005).

The bond lengths within the ring are exceptionally uniform in all the 2,4-diaminotriazine derivatives. For 38 compounds found in the CSD (Allen, 2002; search conditions: only organics, no disorder, no errors) the mean standard deviation of the C?N bond lengths is as small as 0.007 Å. The same is true for the title compound, the mean value of the C?N bond distances being 1.346 (14) Å. The triazine ring is planar (Fig. 1), with a maximum deviation from the least-squares plane of 0.013 (1)Å for N5. The amino groups are almost coplanar with the ring plane, the dihedral angles between the NH2 groups and the ring plane are 6(3)° for N2H2 and 2(2)° for N4H2. Only the methyl carbon atom C61 deviates significantly from the plane by 0.055 (3) Å.

The crystal structure is determined by an extensive network of hydrogen bonds. Each NH2 group acts as a donor in hydrogen bond with the ring nitrogen atoms of neighboring molecules, related by two different centres of symmetry. The sequence of such hydrogen-bonded dimers creates an almost planar molecular tape of molecules along the [101] direction (Fig. 2). The tapes are interlinked by hydrogen bonds with the methanol solvent molecules, which act as di-acceptors and mono-donors of hydrogen bonds (Fig. 3). As a result, a three-dimensional structure of almost perpendicular tapes is formed in the crystal.

Experimental top

To a solution of lanthanum(III) nitrate complex of Schiff base ligand, product of [2 + 1] condensation of one molecule of 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine with two molecules of 2,6-diacetylpyridine (0.1 mmol), in methanol (10 ml), 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (0.1 mmol) dissolved in hot methanol (10 ml) was added in order to receive the [2 + 2] Schiff base macrocyclic complex. After standing at room temperature for several hours, transparent crystals of the title compound were obtained. The crystals were initially transparent but after few minutes in open air they became opaque and gradually lost their crystallinity. Therefore the crystal used for data collection was sealed in a glass capillary.

Refinement top

The methyl hydrogen atoms were positioned geometrically (AFIX 137) and refined using a riding model, with Uiso(H) = 1.3 Ueq(C). All other hydrogen atoms were located in difference Fourier maps and freely refined.

Special details top

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.
