The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H9NO2·H2O consists of an isolated 4-(ammonio­meth­yl)benzoate zwitterion derived from 4-amino­methyl­benzoic acid through the migration of the acidic proton, together with a water molecule of crystallization that is disordered over three sites with occupancy ratios (0.50:0.35:0.15). In the crystal structure, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds together with ππ stacking of the benzene rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.8602 (18) Å] result in a strongly linked, compact three-dimensional structure.

1. Chemical context

As part of a long-range project to find new transition-metal complexes of simple ligands such as carboxyl­ates and amines, we have screened a number of derivatives of benzoic acid, in particular those that a search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.35, updated to May 2014; Groom & Allen, 2014[Groom, C. R. & Allen, F. H. (2014). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 53, 662-671.]) reveals to have formed few coordination complexes whose structures have been reported. The title compound was the unexpected product of an attempt to form a CoII complex with 4-amino­methyl­benzoic acid [HAMBA, (a) in scheme below], which has no entries in the CSD, and di­amino­purine (DAP).

[Scheme 1]

No coordination complex resulted, but the reaction provided, as an unexpected bonus, a crystalline phase of the monohydrate of the zwitterion of HAMBA (see scheme below), in which the acidic proton has migrated to the amino group resulting in COO and CH2NH3+ substituents on the aromatic ring and forming 4-(ammonio­meth­yl)benzoate [(b) in scheme above]. In contrast to the utmost simplicity of its mol­ecular structure, the zwitterion displays an extremely complex hydrogen-bonding scheme and concomitant supra­molecular structure as reported herein.

2. Structural commentary

Fig. 1[link] shows the asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I)[link]. The C—C6—C backbone is essentially planar [maximum deviation of 0.005 (3) Å for C8], and subtends dihedral angles of 6.8 (2) and 83.9 (2)° with the O2C–C (major disorder component) and C–CN planes, respectively. Bond lengths and angles are normal, with the C—O bond lengths of the carboxyl­ate group close to equal, indicating extensive electron delocalization over the unit [C7—O1: 1.266 (4), C7—O2: 1.262 (4) Å].

3. Supra­molecular features

As indicated previously, the most inter­esting features in the structure are those derived from the inter­molecular inter­actions, presented in Table 1[link] (hydrogen bonds) and Table 2[link] (ππ contacts). Each ammonium group is bound through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to three different mol­ecules of (I)[link], with the carboxyl­ato oxygen atoms as acceptors (Fig. 2[link]a). In addition, the benzene rings stack almost parallel to each other in slanted columns (Fig. 2[link]b). N1—H1A⋯O2 and N1—H1C⋯O1 hydrogen bonds link four mol­ecules together, generating R44(24) ring motifs, Fig. 3[link]a, while a second synthon with an R43(10) graph set motif is generated through contacts involving all three hydrogens of the ammonium cation, Fig. 3[link]b (for graph-set notation see, for example, Bernstein et al., 1995[Bernstein, J., Davis, R. E., Shimoni, L. & Chang, N.-L. (1995). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 1555-1573.]).

The R44(24) synthons combine with the ππ stacking inter­actions to generate layers of mol­ecules in the ac plane. The ππ contacts are inclined parallel to either the (101) plane for one set of contacts (Fig. 4[link]a) or the ([\overline{1}]01) plane for the other (Fig. 4[link]b).

4. Database survey

Neither 4-(ammonio­meth­yl)benzoate nor its zwitterionic form described here appear in the CSD (Version 5.35, updated to May 2014). The most closely related structures are those of a zwitterionic form of 4-ammonio­methyl­cyclo­hexane-1-carb­oxy­lic acid (IIa) (Shahzadi et al., 2007[Shahzadi, S., Ali, S., Parvez, M., Badshah, A., Ahmed, E. & Malik, A. (2007). Russ. J. Inorg. Chem. 52, 386-393.]; CSD refcode AMMCHC11) and its hemihydrated analogue (IIb) (Yamazaki et al., 1981[Yamazaki, K., Watanabe, A., Moroi, R. & Sano, M. (1981). Acta Cryst. B37, 1447-1449.]; CSD refcode AMCHCA), in which the phenyl ring is replaced by cyclo­hexane. This introduces some obvious differences with (I)[link], for ππ contacts are clearly precluded and there are different relative orientations of the hydrogen-bonding donors and acceptors. In spite of this, the hydrogen-bonding schemes do show some striking similarities, leading to similar (though differently connected) two-dimensional sub-structures. In particular, the same R44(24) and R43(10) synthons are present in both cases as in (I)[link], and play predominant roles in the crystal packing. This is despite the presence of the water solvate in (IIb), which is not involved in classical hydrogen bonding to the zwitterion.

5. Synthesis and crystallization

To an aqueous solution of HAMBA (1 mmol, 0.15116g) were added an aqueous solution of Co(Ac)2·4H2O (2 mmol, 0.49816g) and an ethano­lic solution of DAP (1 mmol, 0.15009 g). The resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 4 h and left to cool down and evaporate at room temperature. After a few days, crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction of the (uncomplexed) zwitterion (I)[link] appeared. These were used as grown.

Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155.]).

There are two disorder features in this structure. The oxygen atoms of the carboxyl­ate group were disordered over two positions that were refined with similarity restraints with occupancy factors 0.912 (13)/0.088 (13). Disorder involving the water molecule was more pronounced, with the oxygen atoms disordered over three distinct sites. When refined, the occupancies appeared to be strongly correlated with their displacement factors, showing an oscillating behaviour. In the final refinement cycles, occupancies were fixed to the mean values of these oscillation ranges with occupancy ratios 0.50:0.35:0.15.

All the H atoms (except for those of the disordered water mol­ecules) were recognizable in an early difference Fourier map. Hydrogen atoms of the NH3 group were refined with N—H distances restrained to be equal to within 0.01Å [final d(N—H) = 1.07 (3) Å]. All H atoms bound to carbon were refined using a riding model with d(C—H) = 0.93 Å and Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and 0.98 Å, Uiso = 1.2Ueq(C) for methyl­ene H atoms. The hydrogen atoms on the disordered water solvate were not identified.

When trying to calculate the Flack parameter of the inverted structure, it was recognised that the space group was one of the few (seven, in fact) where the structure cannot be inverted by simple inversion of the atomic coordinates. In the case of Fdd2, the `inversion rule' to be applied is Inv(x, y, z) = [1\over4] − x, [1\over4] − y, −z, After this, the refinement proceeded smoothly without any change in the symmetry operators. Even so, the resulting Flack Parameters were both disparate and high [−1.2 (4) vs 2.2 (4) for the reported/inverted structures, respectively]. Hence, the absolute configuration could not be determined reliably.

Fig. 1 shows the asymmetric unit of the title compound, (I). The C—C6—C backbone is planar [maximum deviation of 0.005 (3) Å for C8], and subtends dihedral angles of 6.8 (su?) and 83.9 (su?)° with the O2C–C (major disorder component) and C–CN planes, respectively. Bond lengths and angles are normal, with the C—O bond lengths of the carboxyl­ate group close to equal, indicating extensive electron delocalization over the unit [C7—O1: 1.266 (4), C7—O2: 1.262 (4) Å].

Each ammonium group is bound through N—H···O hydrogen bonds to three different molecules of (I), with the carboxyl­ato oxygens as acceptors (Fig 2a). In addition, the benzene rings stack almost parallel to each other in slanted columns (Fig. 2b). N1—H1A···O2 and N1—H1C···O1 hydrogen bonds link four molecules together, generating R44(24) ring motifs, Fig. 3a, while a second synthon with an R34(10) graph set motif is generated through contacts involving all three hydrogens of the ammonium cation, Fig 3b (for graph-set notation see, for example, Bernstein et al., 1995).

The R44(24) synthons combine with the ππ stacking inter­actions to generate layers of molecules in the ac plane. The ππ contacts are inclined parallel to either the (101) plane for one set of contacts (Fig. 4a) or the (101) plane for the other (Fig. 4b).

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.
