1 Source of material

All reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and used without further purification. The title compound was synthesized by dissolving nicotine in an aqueous solution of manganese(II) bromide prepared using concentrated hydrobromic acid (48 % HBr). The mixture was briefly heated to ensure complete dissolution of the nicotine. Upon standing at ambient temperature, orange block crystals of the title compound nicotin-1,1-dium tetrachloridomanganate(II) (systematic name: 3-((1R,2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium) tetrachloridomanganate(II) formed over the course of several days.

2 Experimental details

A crystal of the title compound was directly selected from the mother liquor and transferred to an IPDS-2T two-circle diffractometer. 1 An absorption correction (Multi–Scan method) was applied. 1

The structure solution and the refinement were successfully carried out using the SHELX program system. 3 , 4 , 5

All hydrogen atoms were seen in the difference electron density map after all non-hydrogen atoms were located. The figure was created using the Diamond software. 6

3 Introduction

A recent survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) 7 identified over 2 crystal structures containing doubly protonated nicotine. As previously reported and summarized by one of the authors, 8 structural data are also available for (a) metal complexes incorporating neutral nicotine ligands (b) a small number of co-crystals where nicotine is present as a neutral component (c) several pyrrolidinyl-monoprotonated nicotinium salts and (d) mono-protonated nicotinium acting as a cationic ligand. A recent report discusses the stabilization of [Pb3I11]5−-clusters and [PbI3]-polymers by protonated nicotinium cations. 9 This work is part of our ongoing research into the synthesis, structural characterization, and hydrogen-bonding patterns in salts derived from natural products such as nicotine, 10 , 11 as well as other commonly used everyday drugs. 13 , 14

4 Molecular structure description

The asymmetric unit of the reported structure contains one nicotin-1,1′-dium dication (3-((1R,2S)-1-methylpyrrolidin-1-ium-2-yl)pyridin-1-ium, abbreviated as nicH2+) and one tetrabromidomanganate(II) dianion (see the figure). As discussed in previous studies, 8 , 10 , 11 , 12 protonation at the nitrogen atom of the pyrrolidinyl ring introduces a second chiral center at N1 (see the figure), which consistently adopts the R configuration in all reliable entries in the Cambridge Structural Database. 7 The four carbon atoms of the pyrrolidinyl ring (C1–C4) of the nicH2+ dication are nearly planar, with a root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of 0.021 Å, while the N1 atom is displaced by 0.56(2) Å from this plane. The defined plane formed by C1–C4 shows an angle of 66.0(6)° with the mean plane of the pyridinylium moiety (see the figure). The bond lengths and angles within the nicH2+ dication 8 , 10 , 11 as well as in the [MnBr4]2− anion 15 , 16 are within the expected ranges. In detail the Mn–Br bond lengths in the complex are consistent, ranging from 2.498(2) Å to 2.514(2) Å.

5 Supramolecular aspects

The nicH2+ dication participates in two N–H⋯Br hydrogen bonds that connects the cation to two neighboring [MnBr4]2− anions [N1⋯Br1 = 3.241(11) Å N2…Br4# = 3.368(11) Å(# = x-1, y, z+1)]. By this connection a hydrogen bonded chain along [10–1] is created (see the figure).
