X-ray Structure Analysis.

General crystallographic details for compounds 3b and 5c are
listed in Table 2. All crystals were grown from chloroform solu-
tions. Crystallographic data was collected on a Bruker Nonius
Kappa CCD area diffractometer using monochromatised Mo-Kα
X-ray radiation (λ = 0.71073Å) equipped with an Oxford
Cryosystems low temperature device (Southampton University).
Lattice parameters were calculated using 4997 3b and 6197 5c
reflections with 2.91º < θ < 27.48º. Intensity data were collected
at a temperature of 120 K using ϕ-ω scans to a maximum 2θ
value of 55º. Multi-scan absorption corrections were applied to
all data sets using the program SORTAV [20]. Structures were
solved by direct methods and refined using the SHELX-97 pack-
age [21]. All hydrogen atoms not involved in the strong hydro-
gen-bonding associations were included in the refinement at cal-
culated positions as riding models with C-H set to 0.95 Å (Ar-H),
from Key Organics Ltd. Aniline and m-toluidine were distilled
before use and p-chloroaniline was re-crystallised from ethanol.
Infrared spectra were recorded as pressed KBr discs on a Nicolet
1
205 FT-IR spectrometer. H NMR data were recorded on a
Bruker Spectrospin 400 NMR spectrometer. Electrospray mass
spectra were recorded in positive ion mode on a Micromass
Platform mass spectrometer (Southampton University).
5,7-Dimethyl-2-phenyl-1-oxo-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-a]pyrazol-4-
ylium-3-olate (3b).
Diethyl phenylmalonate (1c) (39.7 g, 0.18 mol) was dropwise
added to a boiling solution of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (2b) (13.4 g,
0.14 mol) in diphenyl ether (80 mL) and boiled for a further 30
minutes. A distillation head was fitted to the top of the reaction
vessel to allow for the removal of ethanol as well as the recollec-
tion of 2b and any solvent vapour lost during the reaction. Upon
cooling the product precipitated and was collected in vacuo and
washed with light petroleum (40 – 60 °C), yielding intensely
0.98 Å (CH ) and 1.00 Å (CH). The NH hydrogen atoms in 5c
3
were located by difference methods and both positional and ther-
mal parameters were refined. For 5c, a high R value was the
int
result of weak high angle data.

For 5a, 2:1 molar amounts of aniline (0.39 g, 4.17 mmol) and
3b (0.50 g, 2.08 mmol) were heated in a sealed 10 mL glass sam-
ple vial in a 800 W Daewoo microwave for 3 minutes. Upon
cooling the crude product was dissolved in minimal THF and
