Trimer formation of 6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine in salt with organic and inorganic acids:analysis of supramolecular architecture

Although the numbers of co-crystals,salts,polymorphs,hydrates,and solvates are growing steadily,trimers that contain both inorganic and organic acids are still very rare in the Cambridge Structural Database(CSD).When 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid was crystallized readily with 6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine in a 4:3 ratio of ethanol and water by adding a few drops of nitric acid upon slow evaporation in ambient conditions,6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine and 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid with the nitric acid form of 1:1:1 an inorganic-organic salt formulated as[(C4H8N5+)·(NO3-)·(C7H6O4)].The supramolecular architecture,which is quite elegant and simple,appeared as stacking of a 3D network in adduct.Proton transfer from the HNO3to 6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine N acceptor(triazine N)occurred in the organic salt and led to the ionic heterosynthon in the structure.Cooperation among the–COOH,–OH,NO3–,and–NH–functional groups for the observed hydrogen bond synthon was examined in the structure.In adduct,recognition among the constituents is established through N–H···O,O–H···N,and O–H···O hydrogen bonds.The agomelatine molecules are linked through the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions(O–H···O)to form a 1D chain.In addition,the nitric acid anions and base cations act as donors and acceptors of hydrogen bonds and interlink,almost to co-planarity,the hydrogen-bonded chains through interchain N–H···O,O–H···N,as well as O–H···O interactions into a 2D sheet structure.Persistent N–H···O interactions were found to play an important role in the formation of the final 3D array.The salt was characterized by elemental analysis,IR,thermogravimetric analysis,and singlecrystal X-ray diffraction,to better understand how intermolecular interactions influence its supramolecular assembly.     

Self-assembly of a Mixed-valence Cu(Ⅰ)/Cu(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymer Derived from a Conformationally Flexible Tripodal Phosphoric Trimide Ligand

The final R and w R are 0.0588 and 0.1329 for 4260 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). Cu(Ⅰ) is tetrahedrally coordinated and Cu(Ⅱ) center adopts square planar coordination geometry. Because of the flexibility of the TPPA ligands, the pyridyl rings rotate though a certain angle and three pyridyl rings on the same TPPA rotate by about 45° with respect to the central P=O groups. TPPA ligand acts as a tridentate ligand and is coordinated with three metal centers with its pyridyl donors to form a 2D-sheet like structure, and it is further connected by N–H···O and N–H···Br, resulting in a 3D network packing. Oxidation states of the metal center have been determined by bond valence sum calculation.
