Abstract
Biologically active compounds are highly sought-after materials for developing novel structures applicable to industry. Cytosine and pyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (quinolinic acid) are notably significant environmentally. Cytosine, a pyrimidine derivative, features a six-membered ring with a ketone and an amino group, constituting a fundamental nitrogenous base found in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The present synthesis yielded a salt of dipyridine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid with cytosine, wherein a proton was transferred from a carboxyl group of quinolinic acid to a ring N atom in the cytosine molecule giving the salt 6-amino-2-oxo-2,3-dihydropyrimidin-1-ium 3-carboxypyridine-2-carboxylate, C4H6N3O+·C7H4NO4-. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to examine the contribution of contacts within the salt. The structure of the salt was compared to other structures containing quinolinic acid in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section C: Structural Chemistry is continuing its transition to a journal that publishes exciting science with structural content, in particular, important results relating to the chemical sciences. Section C is the journal of choice for the rapid publication of articles that highlight interesting research facilitated by the determination, calculation or analysis of structures of any type, other than macromolecular structures. Articles that emphasize the science and the outcomes that were enabled by the study are particularly welcomed. Authors are encouraged to include mainstream science in their papers, thereby producing manuscripts that are substantial scientific well-rounded contributions that appeal to a broad community of readers and increase the profile of the authors.
