Crystal structures of binary compounds of meldonium 3-(1,1,1-trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propanoate with sodium bromide and sodium iodide

Abstract

3-(1,1,1-Trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propanoate (C6H14N2O2,M, more commonly known under its commercial namesMeldoniumorMildronate) co-crystalizes with sodium bromide and sodium iodide forming polymeric hydrates poly[[tetra-μ-aqua-diaquabis[3-(1,1,1-trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propanoate]disodium] dibromide tetrahydrate], [Na2(C6H14N2O2)2(H2O)6]Br2·4H2O, and poly[[di-μ-aqua-diaqua[μ-3-(1,1,1-trimethylhydrazin-1-ium-2-yl)propanoate]disodium] diiodide], [Na2(C6H14N2O2)2(H2O)4]I2. The coordination numbers of the sodium ions are 6; the coordination polyhedra can be described as distorted octahedra. Metal ions andMzwitterions are assembled into infinite layersviaelectrostatic interactions and hydrogen-bonded networks. These layers are connectedviaelectrostatic attraction between halogenide ions and positive trimethylhydrazinium groups into a three-dimensional structure.
