Structure of 2,3-dicarboxy-1-methylpyridinium monohydrate studied by X-ray diffraction, DFT calculations, FTIR, Raman and NMR spectra
摘要
The structure of 2,3-dicarboxy-1-methylpyridinium monohydrate (1) has been studied by X-ray diffraction, DFT calculations and on the basis of FTIR, Raman and NMR spectra. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n. The water molecule is linked by three intermolecular and asymmetric OH鈰疧 hydrogen bonds of 2.554(1), 2.715(1) and 2.753(2) 脜 between 3-carboxyl and 2-carboxylate groups of neighboring molecules of 2,3-dicarboxy-1-methylpyridinium inner salt. The different conformations of monohydrate molecules (1a, 2, 3), anhydrous molecules (4-6) in the gas phase and in water solutions (7, 8) have been optimized by the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) approach and the results have been compared with the X-ray data of 1. The correlations between the experimental 1H and 13C NMR chemical shifts (未exp) of 1 in D2O and the magnetic isotropic shielding constants (蟽calc) calculated by the GIAO/B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) approach, using the screening solvation model (COSMO), 未exp = a + b 蟽calc, for optimized molecules 7 and 8 in water solutions are linear and correctly reproduce the experimental chemical shifts. The assignments of water vibrations in FTIR spectrum are consistent with those for other monohydrate crystals.
