Spectroscopic and Structural Study of a New Conducting Pyrazolium Salt.

The increase in conductivity with temperature in 1H-pyrazol-2-ium 2,6-dicarboxybenzoate monohydrate was analyzed, and the influence of the mobility of the water was discussed in this study. The electric properties of the salt were studied using the impedance spectroscopy method. WB97XD/6-311++G(d,p) calculations were performed, and the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAiM) approach and the Hirshfeld surface method were applied to analyze the hydrogen bond interaction. It was found that temperature influences the spectroscopic properties of pyrazolium salt, particularly the carbonyl and hydroxyl frequencies. The influence of water molecules, connected by three-center hydrogen bonds with co-planar tetrameters, on the formation of structural defects is also discussed in this report.
