Description
Summary:Structures of some hydrogenated products and intermediates, prepared by a heterogeneous Pd/C or Ru/C catalyst starting from 4-pyridinecarbonitrile (<b>4PN</b>), in water and in the presence of an acidic additive (HCl or H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>), were confirmed in various salt forms of 4-piperidylmethylamine (<b>4PIPA</b>) and 4-pyridylmethylamine (<b>4PA</b>). Crystallographic unit cell structure of the completely hydrogenated product salts <b>(4PIPA·H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub></b> and <b>4PIPA·2HCl</b>) showed a common double-protonated <b>[4PIPA+2H]<sup>2+</sup></b> divalent cation structure, also proved by FT-IR, and that of the <b>4PA·H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub></b> intermediate salt was also indexed and modeled by means of powder X-ray diffraction, applying the <i>DASH</i> 4.0 software package and crystal coordinates coming from former single-crystal X-ray structure determination. Formations of the anhydrous and hydrated forms of <b>4PA·0.5H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>·xH<sub>2</sub>O</b> (x = 0 or x = 0.5, hemisulfates) were also studied by powder XRD and FT-IR spectroscopy for comparing these crystal structures.
