Crystal structure of dimethylamonium hydrogen 2-propyl-4,5- imidazoledicarboxylate, [C2H8N][C8H9N2O4]

Abstract

C 10 H 17 N 3 O 4 ,monoclinic, P2 1 /n (no. 14), a =9.179Source of material Dimethylamine (0.2 mmol) and 2-propyl-4,5-imidazoledicarboxylic acid (0.2 mmol) were dissolved in methanol (5 ml) and water (10 ml) at room temperature. The single crystals of the title compound were obtained from the solution after five days.

5-Carboxy-2-isopropyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium-4-carboxylate monohydrate

“…For the use of related imidazoledicarboxylic acid structures in coordination chemistry, see: Sun et al (2006); Merchan & Stoeckli-Evans (2007); Guo (2009); Wang & Qin (2010); ; Feng et al (2010); Li et al (2010). For the synthesis of the title compound, see: Alcalde et al (1992).…”

“…E67, o1837 In the past the construction of metal complexes based on N-heterocyclic carboxylic acids has attracted much attention due to their intriguing topologies as well as their potential applications in many fields. Particular attention has been paid to the 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid ligand and its analogs: (Sun et al, 2006) have synthesized the 4-carboxy-2-(pyridinium-4-yl)-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate monohydrate; Merchan et al (2007) have prepared the dimethylammonium 4-carboxy-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylate; (Guo, 2009) have reported the 4-carboxy-2-methyl-1H-imidazole-5carboxylate monohydrate and (Wang & Qin, 2010) have reported the dimethylammonium 4-carboxy-2-n-propyl-1Himidazole-5-carboxylate. All of these 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid and their analogs have been used as ligands to design metal complexes and most of them are proved ideal ligands Feng et al, 2010;Li et al, 2010).…”
