Solid‐State Structure of Free Base Guanidine Achieved at Last

Abstract: "Crystal structure of the free base guanidine determined 148 years after the first synthesis": A prototype structure unveiled--despite its provocative simplicity, the crystal structure of guanidine has not been previously described. 148 years after the first synthesis of guanidine, we now find two Y-shaped symmetry-independent molecules in the unit cell that are interconnected by a hydrogen-bonding network, which results in a fascinating layered structure (see picture).

“…13 The structure of guanidine in the solid-state was recently resolved, revealing the high tendency of this molecule to form hydrogen bond (HB) interactions. 14 Tautomerism in guanidines has been the object of a recent 15 N NMR study; 15 as have its vibrational properties, which have been the subject of a theoretical study. 16 In an attempt to elucidate their mode of binding to biological receptors, Kleinmaier et al have investigated the conformational preferences of mono-alkylated acyl guanidines.…”

“…[6] The N-H bond lengths derived from SC-XRD The N1-H1 bond lengths as determined from powder neutron diffraction at T = 12 K are larger than those at 300 K. A similar finding, in this case for molecular guanidine, is even more pronounced for its N-H bond [10] and for all C-N bond lengths, too. [11] Generally, such an effect of smaller bond lengths at higher T may be attributed to a thermal motion of the rigid molecule which, however, can be verified using the data themselves by a TLS (translational, librational, and screw modes of motion) analysis. To test this hypothesis for RbCN 3 H 4 , a TLS modeling of the thermal motion was carried out using the powder neutron-diffraction data.…”
