−, (II), respectively, crystallize with the planar 10-methylacridinium or 9,10-dimethylacridinium cations arranged in layers, parallel to the twofold axis in (I) and perpendicular to the 2
1 axis in (II). Adjacent cations in both compounds are packed in a `head-to-tail' manner. The methyl sulfate anion only exhibits planar symmetry in (II). The cations and anions are linked through C—H
O interactions involving three O atoms of the anion, six acridine H atoms and the CH
3 group on the N atom in (I), and the four O atoms of the anion, three acridine H atoms and the carbon-bound CH
3 group in (II). The methyl sulfate anions are oriented differently in the two compounds relative to the cations, being nearly perpendicular in (I) but parallel in (II). Electrostatic interaction between the ions and the network of C—H
O interactions leads to relatively compact crystal lattices in both structures.

Commercially available acridine was purified by sublimation (Storoniak et
al., 2000). 9-Methylacridine was synthesized following the procedure
described by Tsuge et al. (1963). 10-Methylacridinium and
9,10-dimethylacridinium methyl sulfates were prepared by the reaction of
acridine and 9-methylacridine, respectively, with dimethyl sulfuric acid (Bahr
et al., 1996; Mooser et al., 1972). Yellow crystals of (I) and
red crystals of (II), suitable for X-ray analyses, were grown from solutions
in 96% alcohol. Which alcohol?
All H atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding model, with
C—H = 0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) in the case of
methyl H atoms, and C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)
for all others.

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. |

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. |

Methylation of acridines is the simplest way of converting them to stable cationic forms (Storoniak et al., 2000), which are fairly readily soluble in water. Unlike their protonated forms, methylated acridines are resistant to changes in pH, and are thus convenient derivatives for numerous applications. In undertaking these investigations, we also wished to consider the susceptibility to oxidation of acridinium cations methylated at the N atom. This process requires the presence of oxidizing agents (e.g. peroxides) and may be accompanied by chemiluminescence (Dodeigne et al., 2000). In this context, we recently investigated 9-carboxy-10-methylacridinium phenyl ester (Rak et al., 1999) and 9-cyano-10-methylacridinium hydrogen dinitrate (Huta et al., 2002), and determined the structure of the latter.
It is also interesting that the 9,10-dimethylacridinium cation is one of the strongest C-acids Please clarify, and can therefore serve as a model for investigating this feature of organic compounds (Suzuki & Tanaka, 2001). The present work is a continuation of our search for 10-methylacridinium derivatives capable of undergoing oxidation leading to the formation of electronically excited 9-acridinones. Both compounds under study here, 10-methylacridinium methyl sulfate, (I), and 9,10-dimethylacridinium methyl sulfate, (II), contain the simplest possible 10-methylacridinium cations. They can be regarded as convenient models for the study of the susceptibility to oxidation of this group of compounds. \sch
The methyl sulfate anion in (I) does not exhibit plane symmetry, unlike in (II), as demonstrated by the O2—S1—O1—C16 angle (Table 1). Atoms C9 and N10, as well as the methyl group in the cation, are arranged almost linearly [C9···N10—C15 178.0 (2)°]. The methyl group in the cation is fixed in a certain position, as in 10-methylacridinium halides (Storoniak et al., 2000). The methyl group of the anion is similarly fixed; this is not the case in (II).
In (I), the anions are arranged almost perpendicular to the nearly planar acridine moieties [the angle between the O1/S1/O2 plane and the ac plane is 85.7 (1)°], which form layers parallel to the b axis [the angle between the mean plane formed by the non-H atoms of the cation and the ac plane is 89.8 (1)°]. The cations and anions are fixed, as a result of multidirectional C—H···O interactions involving three O atoms of the anion and the six H atoms attached to the acridine C atoms in ring positions 1–5 and 9, as well as those belonging to the methyl group at N10 (Table 2).
The methyl sulfate anion in (II) lies in the crystallographic symmetry plane. As a consequence, the H atoms of the methyl group occupy two orientations, rotated by 60°, each with an occupancy of 0.5 (Table 3). Atoms C9 and N10, together with the methyl groups attached to them, are arranged linearly [C15—C9···N10—C16 179.5 (2)°]. However, the H atoms of both methyl groups occupy two orientations, twisted through 39 and 60° for CH3 attached to atoms C9 and N10, respectively, each with an occupancy of 0.5.
In the crystal of (II), the cations and anions are arranged in layers perpendicular to the 21 axis (parallel to the ac plane; Fig. 4), with adjacent ions arranged `head-to-tail'. These layers are linked through C—H···O interactions involving all four O atoms of the anion and the three H atoms attached to the acridine C atoms at ring positions 1, 2 and 4, and those belonging to the carbon-bound methyl group at C9 (Table 4). The cations and anions form columns along the [010] direction and are held in place by the network of these multidirectional interactions.
The methyl group at N10 in (II) occupies two orientations, as in 9-cyano-10-methylacridinium hydrogen dinitrate (Huta et al., 2002), while in (I) it is fixed, as in the 10-methylacridinium halides (Storoniak et al., 2000). It is also of interest to note that the methyl sulfate anion in (II) is symmetrical. This is a unique feature among those salts containing this anion for which crystal structures have so far been established (Blake et al., 2000; Brand & Vahrenkamp, 2000; Handrosch et al., 1999; Senge & Kalisch, 1999); none of these contains symmetrical methyl sulfate anions. It is perhaps also worth mentioning that (II) is the first ionic substance containing the 9,10-dimethylacridinium cation for which the structure has been determined by X-ray methods. Therefore, 9,10-dimethylacridinium methyl sulfate appears to be a crystalline substance combining the symmetries of both cation and anion.
