Abstract

2-Ammonio-5-chloro-4-methylbenzenesulfonate, C7H8ClNO3S, (Ia), is an intermediate in the synthesis of lake red azo pigments. The present structure determination from single-crystal data confirms the results of a previous powder diffraction determination Bek&\#246;, Thoms, Br&\#252;ning, Alig, van de Streek, Lakatos, Glaubitz & Schmidt (2010). Z. Kristallogr. 225, 382&\#19;387. The zwitterionic tautomeric form is confirmed. During a polymorph screening, two additional pseudopolymorphs were obtained, viz. 2-ammonio-5-chloro-4-methylbenzenesulfonate 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone monosolvate, C7H8ClNO3S&\#183;C5H9NO, (Ib), and 2-ammonio-5-chloro-4-methylbenzenesulfonate dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate, C7H8ClNO3S&\#183;C2H6OS, (Ic). The molecules of (Ib) have crystallographic m symmetry. The 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone solvent molecule has an envelope conformation and is disordered around the mirror plane. The structure shows hydrogen-bonded ladders of molecules graph-set notation C22(6)R22(12) in the 010 direction. The benzene groups of adjacent ladders are also stacked in this direction. A different type of hydrogen-bonded ladder graph-set notation C(6)R22(4)R44(12) occurs in (Ic). In (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), the molecules correspond to the zwitterionic tautomer. The structure of the cocrystal of 4-aminobenzenesulfonic acid with 1,4-bis(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)benzene Shang, Ren, Wang, Lu & Yang (2009). Acta Cryst. E65, o2221&\#19;o2222 is corrected; it actually contains 4-aminobenzenesulfonate anions and 2,22-(1,4-phenylene)di(dihydroimidazolium) dications, i.e. 2,22-(1,4-phenylene)di(4,5-dihydroimidazolium) bis(4-aminobenzenesulfonate) dihydrate, C12H16N42+&\#183;2C6H6NO3S&\#18;&\#183;2H2O. Hence, all known structures of aminobenzenesulfonic acid complexes contain ionic or zwitterionic molecules; there is no known structure with a neutral aminobenzenesulfonic acid molecule.
