Halogen, hydrogen and electrostatic interactions in 2-amino-5-chloro-1,3-benzoxazol-3-ium nitrate and 2-amino-5-chloro-1,3-benzoxazol-3-ium perchlorate.
In the title compounds, C(7)H(6)ClN(2)O(+).NO(3)(-) and C(7)H(6)ClN(2)O(+).ClO(4)(-), the ions are connected by N-H...O hydrogen bonds and halogen interactions. Additionally, in the first compound, co-operative pi-pi stacking and halogen...pi interactions are observed. The energies of the observed interactions range from a value typical for very weak interactions (1.80 kJ mol(-1)) to one typical for mildly strong interactions (53.01 kJ mol(-1)). The iminium cations exist in an equilibrium form intermediate between exo- and endocyclic. This study provides structural insights relevant to the biochemical activity of 2-amino-5-chloro-1,3-benzoxazole compounds.
