Polysulfonylamine, CXII. Neues aus der Festkörperchemie der 2-Pyridone: Isolierung und Röntgenstrukturen von Bis(2-pyridon)hydrogen(I)- und Bis(6-methyl-2-pyridon)hydrogen(I)-dimesylamid / Polysulfonylamines, CXII. A Novel Solid-State Aspect of 2-Pyridones: Isolation and X-Ray Structures of Bis(2-pyridone)hydrogen(I) and Bis(6-methyl-2-pyridone)hydrogen(I) Dimesylamides
The compounds (2-pyridone)2H+(MeSO2)2N- (1, monoclinic, space group P21/n ) and (6- methyl-2-pyridone)2H+(MeSO2)2N- (2, triclinic, P1) crystallize selectively and in good yields when the parent 2-pyridones (2-hydroxypyridines) are treated with the strong NH acid dimesylamine in acetonitrile or acetone. The corresponding 2-hydroxypyridinium salts could not be obtained. In the unprecedented crystal structures of 1 and 2, two pyridone units are linked by a proton to form very short and approximately symmetric O⋯H+ ⋯O hydrogen bonds, the adjacent C-O distances being appreciably elongated as compared to “free” pyridones [1: O ⋯ O 241.8(2), C -O 127.8(3) and 129.1(2) pm; 2: O ⋯ O 243.8(2), C -O 128.1(2) and 129.2(2) pm]. In both crystal packings, the homoconjugate cations and the dimesylamide anions are alternately associated into chains by an N - H ⋯ N “ and an N - H ⋯ O hydrogen bond.
