Ammonium quercetin-5′-sulfonate formamide solvate
Abstract
The ammonium salt of 2,3-dihydroxy-5-(3,5,7-trihydroxy-4-oxo-4H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)benzenesulfonic acid (common name quercetin-5′-sulfonate), NH4+·C15H9O10S−·CH3NO, crystallizes as the formamide solvate. The presence of the sulfonate group on the flavonoid core increases the solubility of this compound in water. In the solid state, anion–anion, anion–cation and anion–solvent–cation assemblies are formed by numerous intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
