The title salt, C4H8N3O+·H2PO3, contains a creatininium cation (2-amino-1-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-di­hydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium) and a phosphite anion. The crystal packing shows layers of hydrogen-bonded ions lying parallel to the (-114) and (11-4) planes.

Structure description

Creatinine as one such material is more valuable for the detection of renal dysfunction than urea (Sharma et al., 2004[Sharma, A. C., Jana, T., Kesavamoorthy, R., Shi, L., Virji, M. A., Finegold, D. N. & Asher, S. A. (2004). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 126, 2971-2977.]).

The title compound comprises a protonated creatininium cation and a deprotonated phosphite anion (Fig. 1[link]). The geometric parameters of the title ion-pair agree well with those reported for a similar structure (Thayanithi et al., 2016[Thayanithi, V., Kumar, P. P. & Gunasekaran, B. (2016). IUCrData, 1, x160989.]). The crystal packing (Fig. 2[link]) shows planes of hydrogen-bonded ions parallel to the ([\overline{1}]14) and (11[\overline{4}]) planes (Table 1[link]).

Synthesis and crystallization

The title compound was synthesized by dissolving creatinine (1.1312 g, 0.01 mol) in 30 ml of deionized water. Phospho­rus acid (0.82 g, 0.01 mol) was then added slowly. The solution was stirred for 4 h, filtered into a beaker and kept dust-free. Colourless crystals were obtained from the mother solution in 93% yield.
