Özet
Single crystals of the novel organic salt bis(2-amino-6-methylpyridinium) oxalate were synthesized and characterized. X-ray diffraction revealed a 3D supramolecular network stabilized primarily by N–H···O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface and energy framework analyses showed that dispersive and electrostatic forces dominate the crystal packing, with significant π-π interactions and steric repulsions. Computational studies, including FMO and MEP analyses, indicated a moderate band gap and identified potential reactive sites. Molecular docking revealed a moderate but favorable binding affinity (-8.5 kcal·mol-1) for carbonic anhydrase II, comparable to that of the reference inhibitor Acetazolamide (-6.3 kcal·mol-1), suggesting that the compound may act as a potential CA-II inhibitor with stable interactions. These results highlight the compound's well-defined solid-state structure and its promising potential as a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor for pharmaceutical development
