4,5-Dihydro-3-methyl-5-(4-methylphenyl)-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidinium acetate acetone hemisolvate.
The X-ray structure analysis of the unexpected product of the reaction between 4-(4-methylphenyl)but-3-en-2-one and aminoguanidine revealed the title compound, C(12)H(17)N(4)(+) x -C(2)H(3)O(2)(-) x 0.5C(3)H(6)O, consisting of a protonated amidine moiety joined to a substituted pyrazoline ring at the N1 atom. The amidine group is protonated and the positive charge is delocalized over the three C[bond]N bonds in a similar manner to that found in guanidinium salts. The amidinium moiety of the cation is linked to the acetate anions through four N[bond]H...O hydrogen bonds, with N...O distances of 2.749 (4), 2.848 (4), 2.904 (4) and 2.911 (4) A. The pyrazoline ring adopts a flattened envelope conformation and the substituted phenyl ring is oriented perpendicular to the attached heterocycle. The acetone solvate molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis.
4-(3,5-Dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-4-ylmethyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-2-ium dihydrogen phosphate: a combined X-ray and DFT study.
The molecular structure of the title salt, C(11)H(17)N(4)(+).H(2)PO(4)(-), has been determined from single-crystal X-ray analysis and compared with the structure calculated by density functional theory (DFT) at the BLYP level. The crystal packing in the title compound is stabilized primarily by intermolecular N-H...O, O-H...N and O-H...O hydrogen bonds and pi-pi stacking interactions, and thus a three-dimensional supramolecular honeycomb network consisting of R(4)(2)(10), R(4)(4)(14) and R(4)(4)(24) ring motifs is established. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap (1.338 eV; HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital and LUMO is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) indicates a high chemical reactivity for the title compound.
Experimental and Computational Studies on Aminoguanidine Free Base, Monocation and Dication, Part I: The Crystal and Molecular Structure of Aminoguanidine Monohydrochloride and the ab Initio Structure of the Endiamine Tautomer of Aminoguanidine Free Base
The crystal and molecular structure of aminoguanidine monohydrochloride, CN4H7+.CL- in which aminonoguanidine exists in the monocation form, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure of the monocation is largely similar to that of aminoguanidine dication as present in previously studied divalent salts. The monocation was found to exist in the form of the tautom er that allows strong resonance in the guanyl group. As compared to the dication, the terminal hydrazine nitrogen atom bears one hydrogen atom less. The monocation is planar, the only atoms deviating from the plane being the hydrogens attached to the terminal hydrazine nitrogen. Quantum chemical calculations on the endiamine tautomer of aminoguanidine free base as well as on aminoguanidine monocation and dication were also perform ed by using the HF and MP2 ab initio methods and also the B3- LYP and B-LYP methods based on density functional theory. On the basis of the calculations, a predicted structure of the endiamine tautom er of aminoguanidine free base is presented
