Crystal structure of 2-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium 3,5-dicarboxybenzoate

The structure of the title salt, C4H7N2+·C9H5O6− (1), is reported. The compound is built from a protonated 2-methylimidazole and a singly deprotonated trimesic acid. Detailed analysis of bond distances and angles for both ions reveals subtle differences compared with their neutral molecule counterpa...

description The structure of the title salt, C4H7N2+·C9H5O6− (1), is reported. The compound is built from a protonated 2-methylimidazole and a singly deprotonated trimesic acid. Detailed analysis of bond distances and angles for both ions reveals subtle differences compared with their neutral molecule counterpart. Analysis of the crystal packing in compound 1 reveals the formation of undulating chains by the ions through hydrogen bonding. The chains stack along the b axis through π–π interactions and interconnect with other chains in an out-of-phase arrangement along the ac plane through further hydrogen-bonding interactions.
