A discrete am m onium catecholate hydrate o f the com position N H 4[C6H 4( 0 H ) 2][C6H 4( 0 H ) 0 ] • 0 .5 H 20 has been isolated and characterized by a single-crystal X-ray structure analysis. The crystals are m onoclin ic, space group C 2 /c (N o . 15), Z = 8, a = 24.613(3), b = 8.706(1), c = 11.890(2) Ä , ß = 110.56(1)°. The crystal lattice features a network o f hydrogen bonds, which clearly contribute significantly to the overall stability o f the lattice. The water m olecule is engaged as a donor and an acceptor in as m any as four hydrogen bonds. Surprisingly, the crystalline com pound is air-stable, while anhydrous am m onium catecholate, as obtained by d issolving catechol in dry liquid am m onia, is quickly oxidized in air.
Introduction
Although the binary systems phenol/amine, catechol/amine and catechol/ammonium have attracted some interest in the past, only few products have actually been isolated [1-5] and structurally characterized [1,3]. Compounds which can be referred to as phenol or catechol ammonium complexes (especially those with quarternary ammonium cations) have been discussed as intermediates in a number of important reactions, such as e.g. the alkylation of phenols under phase transfer conditions [6 , 7]. Furthermore these complexes may also be significant in the biochemistry of catechol as a target for ammonium salts, particularly if one of the components is attached to a biopolymer [2], As part of our studies of catechol complexes of biorelevant cations [8, 9], we now report the preparation and crystal structure of N H 4[C6H 4(0 H )2][C6H4(0 H )0 ] • 0.5 h 2o .
ExperimentalCrystals of the title compound were obtained

of an aqueous solution of ammonia (25%; 0.39 g N H 3, 23 mmol N H 3) are added. The reaction mixture is refluxed for 3 h under nitrogen. After filtration, the volume of the resulting clear solution is reduced to one third, and 1 ml of an aqueous solution of ammonia (25% N H 3) is added. After 12 h at4 °C colourless, airstable crystals can be isolated. The elemental analysis of the crystals indicates the composition NH 4[C6H4(0 H)2][C6H4(0 H)0 • 0.5 H20 :

Results
The crystal structure determination confirms the composition NH4[C6H4(0H )0][C 6H4(0H )2] 0.5H20 already suggested by the microanalysis data of the unexpected product obtained from a reaction mixture containing a stoichiometric am ount of beryllium hydroxide. In the lattice there is one catechol molecule, one catecholate monoanion, one am monium cation and half a water molecule. (The oxygen atom O 5 of the water molecule lies on the crystallographic two-fold axis). The crystals are monoclinic (space group C 2/c) with 8 formula units in the unit cell. The geometrical parameters of the catechol and catecholate components show no significant deviations from values determined for comparable compounds [1,3]. The carbon phenolate oxygen distance (C 1 - O 1) is significantly shorter than the carbon phenol oxygen distances (Table II).

In the three-dimensional structure, the ammonium cations are linked with the catechol and catecholate molecules through a network o f hydrogen bonds (Table III, Fig. 1).
The water molecule is engaged in hydrogen bonds both as a donor and as an acceptor: The hydrogen atom H 16 and the symmetry-equivalent atom H 16' form hydrogen bonds with the phenol oxygen atoms 0 4 and 0 4 ' (Fig. 1), while the oxygen atom O 5 is linked to two ammonium cations via hydrogen bonds ( N - H 1 4 - 0 5 ) (Fig. 1). The catechol molecule and the catecholate anion are connected by hydrogen bonds between the phenolate oxygen atom O 1 and the phenol oxygen atoms 0 3 ( 0 1 - H 2 - 0 3 ) and 0 4 ( 0 1 - H 3 - 0 4 ) .
The three-dimensional lattice features corrugated layers, built from catechol molecules C6H4(OH)2 and catecholate anions C6H4(0 H )0 - , which are connected by hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2). The water molecules and the ammonium cations are intercalated between the catechol/catecholate sheets and

Discussion
The present investigation has established the existence of a discrete ammonium catecholate complex of the composition N H 4[C6H4(OH)2][C6H 4(OH)0] 0 .5H 20 . The crystal lattice features a network of hydrogen bonds, which clearly contributes significantly to the overall stability of the lattice. The crystal water molecule appears to be a key-stone of the framework, which is engaged in as many as four hydrogen bonds. It is noteworthy that the crystals of the title compound are air-stable. By contrast, anhydrous ammonium catecholate, which is obtained by dissolving catechol in liquid ammonia, followed by evaporation of the excess of ammonia, is quickly oxidized in air [11], It is tempting to attribute the greater stability of the title compound in air to the stabilizing effect o f the hydrogen bonding network in the crystal lattice. Inclusion of a water molecule and a catechol molecule leads to a balance of hydroxyl, phenolate and ammonium functions in this system of hydrogen bonds, which make the crystalline phase less susceptible to oxidation and hydrolysis. N ot unexpectedly therefore, aqueous solutions of ammonium catecholates are readily oxidized.
