2,6-Diamino-4-chloropyrimidinium 4-carboxybutanoate

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C4H6ClN4+·C5H7O4−, the cation is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.037 (1) Å for all non-H atoms. The anions are self-assembled through O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a supramolecular zigzag chain with graph-set notationC(8). In the crystal, the protonated N atom and the 2-amino group of the cation are hydrogen bonded to the carboxylate O atoms of the anionviaa pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds with anR22(8) ring motif. This motif further self-organizes through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating an array of six hydrogen bonds, the rings having graph-set notationR32(8),R22(8),R42(8),R22(8) andR32(8). In addition, another type ofR22(8) motif is formed by inversion-related pyrimidinium cationsviaN—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (101).
