This study details the crystal structure of a molecular salt, C(6)H(7)ClN(+)·C(3)H(3)O(4) (-). The components form a 2D network through hydrogen bonding interactions.
Area of Science:
- Crystallography
- Supramolecular Chemistry
Background:
- Molecular salts are crucial in materials science and drug development.
- Understanding intermolecular interactions is key to designing novel crystalline structures.
Purpose of the Study:
- To elucidate the crystal structure and intermolecular interactions of the molecular salt C(6)H(7)ClN(+)·C(3)H(3)O(4) (-).
Main Methods:
- Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
- Analysis of hydrogen bonding networks and other non-covalent interactions.
Main Results:
- The molecular salt C(6)H(7)ClN(+)·C(3)H(3)O(4) (-) exhibits a two-dimensional network structure.
- N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are the primary driving forces for the network formation.
- Weak C-H⋯O interactions were also identified, contributing to the overall crystal packing.
Conclusions:
- The crystal structure is stabilized by a combination of strong hydrogen bonds and weaker interactions.
- The observed 2D network provides insights into the supramolecular assembly of this molecular salt.

01:07Preparation of Acid Anhydrides
The carboxylate ion acts as a nucleophile that attacks the carbonyl carbon of the acid chloride to form a tetrahedral intermediate. Subsequently, the re-formation of the carbonyl group with the loss of the chloride ion as a leaving group leads to the formation of an acid...
01:16Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Acid Halides, Esters, and Acid Anhydrides
The IUPAC and common names of acid halides are derived from the corresponding carboxylic acids, by changing “ic acid” to “yl halide.” For example, as shown below, the IUPAC name ethanoyl chloride is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetyl chloride, is obtained from acetic acid.
01:11Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
