Abstract:
In the anion of the title hydrated mol-ecular salt, C4H8N3O(+)·C12H9N4O7 (-)·H2O [systematic name: 2-amino-1-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-di-hydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium 5-(2,4-di-nitro-phen-yl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydro-pyrimidin-4-olate monohydrate], the 2,4-di-nitro-phenyl ring is inclined to the mean plane of the pyrimidine ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.37 Å] by 43.24 (8)°. The five-membered ring of the creatininium cation (2-amino-1-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-di-hydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium) is essentially planar with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.015 Å. In the crystal, the anions and cations are linked via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to the ab plane. The sheets are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol-ecule, forming a three-dimensional framework. Within the framework, there are C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds present. The title mol-ecular salt displays anti-convulsant and hypnotic activities.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
