Abstract

In the reaction between 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid and urotropine, the proton of the phenolic group is transferred to a nitrogen atom of urotropine to form a hydrogen-bonded ion-paired [N⋯Ophenolate = 2.777(4) A˚] compound. An analogous reaction between the acid and dicyclohexylamine yields a centrosymmetric ion-paired dimer [N⋯Ophenolate = 2.864(4), N⋯Ocarbonyl = 2.940(5) A˚]. The structures of the two compounds are discussed in relation to their infrared spectral features. The structure of the anion is also investigated theoretically by geometry-optimization calculations.
