Abstract
In the title compound, C5H14N3+·H2PO4−, the cation has a central guanidinium fragment with a planar geometry, as expected for a central Csp2 atom with a small charge delocalization along the three C—N bonds. The crystal packing is governed by hydrogen bonds so that the phosphate anions are linked head to tail, forming chains running parallel to the c direction. These chains in turn are interconnected by hydrogen bonds to intermediate tetra­methyl­guanidinium cations forming hydrogen-bonded molecular layers stacked parallel to the bc crystal planes.

Comment
Inorganic salts of phosphoric acids form compounds that
exhibit a wealth of interesting physical properties such as
ferroelectricity and non-linear optical phenomena like second
harmonic generation; a classical example is potassium di-
hydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) (Rafhkovich, 1991). A
general synthetic route to obtain organo-dihydrogen ortho-
phosphate crystals has been detailed (Masse & Zyss, 1991). In
all these compounds, there is an inorganic subnetwork formed
by the dihydrogen orthophosphate anions (H
2
PO
4
)
n
. When
the organic species are strongly dipolar, the anion sublattice is
organized in a polar structure; examples are l-argininium di-
hydrogen orthophosphate monohydrate (Aoki et al., 1971), 2-
amino-5-nitropyridinium dihydrogen orthophosphate (Kotler
et al., 1992) and sarcosine dihydrogen orthophosphate
(Averbuch-Pouchot et al., 1988). In the case of a weakly
dipolar organic species such as glycine, the anion sublattice
will organize in a nonpolar structure (Averbuch-Pouchot et al.,
1988). As part of a project to study new compounds with
potentially interesting optical and dielectric properties, we
have synthesized the title compound, (I). Similar to amino-
guanidinium dihydrogen orthophosphate (Adams, 1977), we
report here its crystal structure, as determined by single-
crystal X-ray diffraction.
The compound crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space
group; consequently, no non-linear optical effects are
observed. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements
performed from 93 to 673 K did not show any phase transition.
The melting point occurs at about 493 K, followed by
decomposition.
The geometry of the guanidinium group in (I) is planar, as
expected for sp
2
hybridization of the central C atom (Fig. 1).
The delocalization along the three CÐN bonds gives rise to
C1ÐN2 [1.344 (1) A
Ê
] and C1ÐN3 [1.346 (1) A
Ê
] bond lengths
larger than the value expected for a Csp
2
N bond (1.295 A
Ê
)
and close to the expected value for a delocalized C
N double
bond [1.339 (5) A
Ê
]. The C1ÐN1 bond length [1.320 (1) A
Ê
]is
somewhat shorter and compares well with the average value
for the guanidinium cation (1.321 A
Ê
) (Allen et al., 1987). The
larger value for the C1ÐN2 and C1ÐN3 bond lengths must be
ascribed to the methyl substitution which makes the three
bonds non-equivalent. Indeed, simple molecular-orbital
semiempirical calculations (extended Hu
È
ckel) give different
atomic charges on N1 (ÿ0.376 e) and N2 and N3 (ÿ0.590 e).
As may be expected, the two PÐO distances for the OH
groups are signi®cantly longer than the other two PÐO
distances.
The basis of the molecular engineering interest in these salts
is the obtention of structures with potential physical properties
as a result of the hydrogen-bond crystal network, which tends
to reinforce the properties exhibited by the isolated molecule
by arranging them as linear or layered molecular patterns.
In our case the hydrogen bonds also give rise to an inter-
esting arrangement, which is best understood with the aid of
the diagram corresponding to the crystal structure viewed
perpendicular to the ab plane (Fig. 2). On one hand, each
phosphate ion is connected by two hydrogen bonds to each
phosphate ion related to it by a c glide plane with both positive
and negative fractional c translations. Given that the central P
atoms lie at a very close distance to the glide planes (0.32 A
Ê
), it
results in approximately linear phosphate chains parallel to
the c direction. On the other hand, each tetramethyl-
guanidinium ion is hydrogen-bonded to two phosphate ions
related to each other by an inversion centre and belonging to
different chains, giving rise to a framework of molecules

connected by hydrogen bonds in the form of layers parallel to
the bc crystal planes and stacked according to the a lattice
translation period. Besides the above, two CÐHO contacts
interrelating molecules within the same layer and not depicted

Experimental
The title compound was prepared by mixing equimolar portions of
two reagents: 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine (99%) and phosphoric
acid (85%) in a 1:1 solution of ethanol and water at room tempera-
ture. Good quality, colourless single crystals of prism habit were
grown from the solution by slow evaporation, one of which was
selected and used for the X-ray analysis.

Special details
Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full
covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and
torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry.
An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement on F
2
for ALL reflections except for 0 with very negative F
2
or flagged by the user for potential
systematic errors. Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F
2
, conventional R-factors R are based
on F, with F set to zero for negative F
2
. The observed criterion of F
2
> σ(F
2
) is used only for calculating R_factor_obs
etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F
2
are statistically about twice as
large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.

Q1. What are the contributions in this paper?

In this paper, a guanidinium fragment with a planar geometry has been constructed for the C5H14N3 + H2PO4 cation with a small charge delocalization along the three CÐN bonds. 

Weighted R-factors wR and all goodnesses of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. 

CommentInorganic salts of phosphoric acids form compounds that exhibit a wealth of interesting physical properties such as ferroelectricity and non-linear optical phenomena like second harmonic generation; a classical example is potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (KDP) (Rafhkovich, 1991). 

The basis of the molecular engineering interest in these salts is the obtention of structures with potential physical properties as a result of the hydrogen-bond crystal network, which tends to reinforce the properties exhibited by the isolated molecule by arranging them as linear or layered molecular patterns.

Good quality, colourless single crystals of prism habit were grown from the solution by slow evaporation, one of which was selected and used for the X-ray analysis. 

The observed criterion of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R_factor_obs etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement.
