Diprotonated Tetra(2‐pyridyl)pyrazine and its Chemical Mimesis due to Different Hydrogen Bridges

Abstract: There are two possible sites for the protons in the title compound. For steric reasons the structure in which the protons each interact with three nitrogen atoms is rejected in favor of the structure depicted on the right. The counterion BPh 4− is essential; when Cl− is the counterion, drastic structural changes are induced in the dication. This phenomenon may also be significant in biologically important structures (nitrogen bases!).

“…The N atoms are separated by 2.528 (3) A Ê , and this rather short intramolecular hydrogen bond [N3ÐH3 1.22 (3) and H3Á Á ÁN4 1.32 (3) A Ê , and N3ÐH3Á Á ÁN4 167 (3) ; Table 1] leads to a slight twist of the pyrazine ring (plane C1/N1/C4 to plane C2/N2/C3) of 3.6 (4) , as well as to two unusually large exocyclic angles, C3ÐC4ÐC5 [131.0 (3) ] and C4ÐC3ÐC10 [131.2 (2) ]. This type of hydrogen bond, with almost identical bond distances and angles, was also found in the diprotonated form of tetra(2-pyridyl)pyrazine by Bock et al (1992) and analysed theoretically. An analysis of hydrogen bonding in organoammonium H(N) atoms of this type has been made by Robertson et al (1998).…”

“…As observed for ðH 2 3 2þ Þ½BðC 6 H 5 Þ À 4 2 , these N-HÁ Á ÁN bridges are rather short even for proton sponges [8,37], and result in a deformation of the C(5)-C(6)-C(7) and C(6)-C(7)-C(8) angles, which are expanded to the very unusual values of 129.7(5) and 130.4(5)°. The H 2 3 2+ dication interacts with the ICl À 2 anions through an extended network of hydrogen bonds [C(10)-…”
