Abstract
The molecular structure of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpmdc) was determined by single crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system; the unit cell contains four formula units. The molecules of H2bpmdc are linked into zig-zag chains by intermolecular carboxyl–carboxyl hydrogen bonds. Other types of supramolecular interactions, namely, CH···N and CH···O short contacts, CH–π interactions and carbonyl–carbonyl interactions were detected in the crystal structure.
1. Introduction
Dicarboxylic acids are important supramolecular synthons for metal–organic frameworks [1,2], hydrogen-bonded networks [3], organogels [4], deep eutectic solvents [5] and other applications [6]. Pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid and its derivatives have demonstrated potent biological activity [7,8]; they were also used for construction of highly porous metal–organic frameworks [9]. Dicarboxylic acids derived from bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane have been less explored, but were successfully employed as building blocks for metal–organic frameworks with luminescent properties [10,11], gas separation capability [12], and single metal site catalysts [13,14].
Recently, we have developed a universal approach for the synthesis of a new series of bis(pyrazol-1-yl)alkane-4,4′-dicarboxylic acids starting from the commercially available pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid [15]. Taking into account the potential of these compounds as supramolecular building block, biologically active substances, monomers for polyesters and polyamides, we have studied the crystal structure and supramolecular analysis of N-heterocyclic compound titled bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpmdc). This dicarboxylic acid was synthesized recently in our group and was characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy, thermal and elemental analyses [15]; however, its crystal structure determination has not been performed yet.
2. Results and Discussion
The molecular structure of H2bpmdc is shown in Figure 1. The compound crystallizes in a monoclinic crystal system, space group C2/c. The asymmetric unit consists of a half of the molecule and the unit cell contains four formula units. The angle between the planes of two pyrazole rings is 81.24(8)°, while the angle N1-C5-N1 is closer to tetrahedral (111.3(8)°). The neighboring molecules are involved in intermolecular hydrogen bonding via the carboxylic groups (Figure 2), the D-H distance, d(O2-H2) = 0.87(1) Å, A-H distance d(O1-H2) = 1.79(1) Å and D-H-A angle (O2-H2-O1) is 177(1)°. The interatomic distance d(O1-O2) = 2.655(1) Å is in the range typical for a carboxyl–carboxyl cyclic dimer motif [16].

Other types of intermolecular interactions include CH···N and CH···O short contacts (Figure 3a) with the distances of 2.62(1) and 2.88(1) Å, correspondingly, CH–π interactions between CH2 groups and pyrazole rings (d(N2-H5A) = 2.716(7) Å, Figure 3b) and carbonyl–carbonyl interactions, d(C1-O2) = 3.170(1) A (Figure 3c). Hydrogen bonds link the H2bpmdc molecules into zig-zag chains oriented along the crystallographic axis c, while the above-mentioned interactions join the chains into supramolecular stacks along the axis b (Figure 4). Selected geometric parameters of H2bpmdc are listed in Table 1.

3. Materials and Methods
Bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid (H2bpmdc) was synthesized as described previously [15] and recrystallized from water to give single crystals suitable for X-ray crystal structure determination.
Single crystal XRD data for H2bpmdc were collected with a Bruker D8 Venture diffractometer with a CMOS PHOTON III detector and IµS 3.0 source (mirror optics, λ(MoKα) = 0.71073Å). The φ- and ω-scan techniques were employed to measure intensities. The crystal structure was solved using the SHELXT [17] and was refined using SHELXL [18] programs with OLEX2 GUI [19]. Atomic displacement parameters for non-hydrogen atoms were refined anisotropically. Hydrogen atoms were placed geometrically and treated as a mixture of independent and constrained refinement.

The final R1 was 0.0393 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.110 (all data).
