Supramolecular salts of 5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine and acids through classical H-Bonds and other intermolecular interactions

Abstract

This article demonstrates 5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine based organic salts formation of crystalline solids 1–9, in which the acidic units have been integrated via a variety of non-covalent bonds. Addition of equivalents of the acidic units to the solution of 5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine generates the single protonated species which direct the anions. The nine compounds crystallize as their salts with the acidic H transferred to the aromatic N of the 5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine. In 2, 3, 4, and 7 the methyl substituted N-rings were protonated, while others were protonated at the NH2 substituted N-ring. All salts have been characterized via IR, mp, EA and XRD technique. The major driving force for the salt formation is attributed to the classical H-bonds from 5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine-2-amine and the acids. Other extensive intermolecular interactions also play great functions in space association of the molecular assemblies in the relevant crystals. The common R22(8) graph set has been observed in all salts due to the H-bonds and other intermolecular interactions, except 2, 4, and 6. For the synergistic interactions of the various non-covalent bonds, all salts displayed 3D structures.
