Abstract

The cytosine hydrobromide (CytHBr) was obtained and studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, FT-IR spectroscopy and thermal analysis. This salt crystallizes in the P2(1)/n space group with one ionic-pair CytH(+)Br(-) in the asymmetric unit. The CytHBr compound forms centrosymmetric R-2(2) (8) dimers, linking the cationic units (CytH(+)) in infinite strands of ionic pairs arranged in zigzag layers, connected by pi center dot center dot center dot pi and pi center dot center dot center dot Br- interactions. Also, the Hirshfeld Surface (HS) and fingerprint plots were used to explore the H center dot center dot center dot Br, C center dot center dot center dot H, C center dot center dot center dot C, C center dot center dot center dot N, C center dot center dot center dot O and C center dot center dot center dot Br intermolecular contacts. The molecular assembly of CytHBr is similar compared with the cytosine hydrochloride salt (CytHCl). As a result, the FT-IR spectrum of the CytHBr is similar to that one reported for the CytHCl. On the other hand, small shifts are observed comparing with the pure cytosine (Cyt) spectrum. The CytHBr was also studied by thermal analysis (DSC and TGA), supported by Hot Stage and Optical Microscopy (HSOM) technique, confirming the high-quality of the crystalline modification.
