Hydrogen bonding in two ammonium salts of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid: ammonium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate monohydrate and triammonium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate 3‐carboxylato‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate

The structures of two ammonium salts of 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid (5‐sulfosalicylic acid, 5‐SSA) have been determined at 200 K. In the 1:1 hydrated salt, ammonium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate monohydrate, NH₄⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (I), the 5‐SSA⁻ monoanions give two types of head‐to‐tail laterally linked cyclic hydrogen‐bonding associations, both with graph‐set R₄⁴(20). The first involves both carboxylic acid O—H...O_water and water O—H...O_sulfonate hydrogen bonds at one end, and ammonium N—H...O_sulfonate and N—H...O_carboxy hydrogen bonds at the other. The second association is centrosymmetric, with end linkages through water O—H...O_sulfonate hydrogen bonds. These conjoined units form stacks down c and are extended into a three‐dimensional framework structure through N—H...O and water O—H...O hydrogen bonds to sulfonate O‐atom acceptors. Anhydrous triammonium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate 3‐carboxylato‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate, 3NH₄⁺·C₇H₄O₆S²⁻·C₇H₅O₆S⁻, (II), is unusual, having both dianionic 5‐SSA²⁻ and monoanionic 5‐SSA⁻ species. These are linked by a carboxylic acid O—H...O hydrogen bond and, together with the three ammonium cations (two on general sites and the third comprising two independent half‐cations lying on crystallographic twofold rotation axes), give a pseudo‐centrosymmetric asymmetric unit. Cation–anion hydrogen bonding within this layered unit involves a cyclic R₃³(8) association which, together with extensive peripheral N—H...O hydrogen bonding involving both sulfonate and carboxy/carboxylate acceptors, gives a three‐dimensional framework structure. This work further demonstrates the utility of the 5‐SSA⁻ monoanion for the generation of stable hydrogen‐bonded crystalline materials, and provides the structure of a dianionic 5‐SSA²⁻ species of which there are only a few examples in the crystallographic literature.     

An optically resolved crystal of thiomalate: (S)‐1‐phenylethanaminium (R)‐thiomalate

The asymmetric unit of the optically resolved title salt, C₈H₁₂N⁺·C₄H₅O₄S⁻, contains a 1‐phenylethanaminium monocation and a thiomalate (3‐carboxy‐2‐sulfanylpropanoate) monoanion. The absolute configurations of the cation and the anion are determined to be S and R, respectively. In the crystal, cation–anion N—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with anion–anion O—H...O and S—H...O hydrogen bonds, construct a two‐dimensional supramolecular sheet parallel to the ab plane. The two‐dimensional sheet is linked with the upper and lower sheets through C—H...π interactions to stack along the c axis.     

Three‐dimensional networks in bis(imidazolium) 2,2′‐dithiodibenzoate and 4‐methylimidazolium 2‐[(2‐carboxyphenyl)disulfanyl]benzoate

Cocrystallization of imidazole or 4‐methylimidazole with 2,2′‐dithiodibenzoic acid from methanol solution yields the title 2:1 and 1:1 organic salts, 2C₃H₅N₂⁺·C₁₄H₁₀O₄S₂²⁻, (I), and C₄H₇N₂⁺·C₁₄H₁₀O₄S₂⁻, (II), respectively. Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with the mid‐point of the S—S bond lying on a twofold axis. The component ions in (I) are linked by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two‐dimensional network, which is further linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network. In contrast, by means of N—H...O, N—H...S and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, the component ions in (II) are linked into a tape and adjacent tapes are further linked by π–π, C—H...O and C—H...π interactions, resulting in a three‐dimensional network.     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐hydroxycyclohexyl)‐N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diaminium dichloride

The achiral meso form of the title compound, C₁₈H₃₈N₂O₄²⁺·2Cl⁻, crystallizes to form undulating layers consisting of chains linked via weak hydroxyalkyl C—H...Cl contacts. The chains are characterized by centrosymmetric hydrogen‐bonded dimers generated via N—H...Cl and hydroxycycloalkyl O—H...Cl interactions. trans‐N‐Alkyl bridges subdivide the chains into hydrophilic segments flanked by hydrophobic cycloalkyl stacks along [001].     

Hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular networks of N,N′‐bis(4‐pyridylmethyl)oxalamide and 4,4′‐{[oxalylbis(azanediyl)]dimethylene}dipyridinium dinitrate

The molecule of N,N′‐bis(4‐pyridylmethyl)oxalamide, C₁₄H₁₄N₄O₂, (I) or 4py‐ox, has an inversion center in the middle of the oxalamide group. Adjacent molecules are then linked through intermolecular N—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming an extended supramolecular network. 4,4′‐{[Oxalylbis(azanediyl)]dimethylene}dipyridinium dinitrate, C₁₄H₁₆N₄O₂²⁺·2NO₃⁻, (II), contains a diprotonated 4py‐ox cation and two nitrate counter‐anions. Each nitrate ion is hydrogen bonded to four 4py‐ox cations via intermolecular N—H...O and C—H...O interactions. Adjacent 4py‐ox cations are linked through weak C—H...O hydrogen bonding between an α‐pyridinium C atom and an oxalamide O atom, forming a two‐dimensional extended supramolecular network.     

(E)‐4‐[(2‐Carbamoylhydrazinylidene)methyl]‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐methylpyridin‐1‐ium nitrate

The title compound, C₉H₁₃N₄O₃⁺·NO₃⁻, is the first structurally characterized Schiff base derived from semicarbazide and pyridoxal. Unusually for an unsubstituted semicarbazone, the compound adopts a syn conformation, in which the carbonyl O atom is in a cis disposition relative to the azomethine N atom. This arrangement is supported by a pair of hydrogen bonds between the organic cation and the nitrate anion. The cation is essentially planar, with only a hydroxymethyl O atom deviating significantly from the mean plane of the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation of the remaining non‐H atoms = 0.01 Å). The molecules are linked into flat layers by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxymethyl group as a donor interconnect the layers into a three‐dimensional structure.     

Hydrogen‐bonded networks in trans‐3‐(3‐pyridyl)acrylic acid and rctt‐3,3′‐(3,4‐dicarboxycyclobutane‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dichloride

The structure of trans‐3‐(3‐pyridyl)acrylic acid, C₈H₇NO₂, (I), possesses a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded array of supramolecular ribbons assembled via heterodimeric synthons between the pyridine and carboxyl groups. This compound is photoreactive in the solid state as a result of close contacts between the double bonds of neighbouring molecules [3.821 (1) Å] along the a axis. The crystal structure of the photoproduct, rctt‐3,3′‐(3,4‐dicarboxycyclobutane‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dichloride, C₁₆H₁₆N₂O₄²⁺·2Cl⁻, (II), consists of a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network built from crosslinking of helical chains integrated by self‐assembly of dipyridinium cations and Cl⁻ anions via different O—H...Cl, C—H...Cl and N⁺—H...Cl hydrogen‐bond interactions.     

1‐Carboxymethyl‐3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium chloride 2‐(3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium‐1‐yl)acetate monohydrate: a crystal stabilized by imidazolium zwitterions

The title compound, C₆H₉N₂O₂⁺·Cl⁻·C₆H₈N₂O₂·H₂O, contains one 2‐(3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium‐1‐yl)acetate inner salt molecule, one 1‐carboxymethyl‐3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium cation, one chloride ion and one water molecule. In the extended structure, chloride anions and water molecules are linked via O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming an infinite one‐dimensional chain. The chloride anions are also linked by two weak C—H...Cl interactions to neighbouring methylene groups and imidazole rings. Two imidazolium moieties form a homoconjugated cation through a strong and asymmetric O—H...O hydrogen bond of 2.472 (2) Å. The IR spectrum shows a continuous D‐type absorption in the region below 1300 cm⁻¹ and is different to that of 1‐carboxymethyl‐3‐methylimidazolium chloride [Xuan, Wang & Xue (2012). Spectrochim. Acta Part A, 96 , 436–443].     

2,4‐Diamino‐6‐methyl‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium trifluoroacetate

Crystals of the title compound, C₄H₈N₅⁺·C₂F₃O₂⁻, are built up of singly protonated 2,4‐diamino‐6‐methyl‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium cations and trifluoroacetate anions. The CF₃ group of the anion is disordered. The oppositely charged ions interact via almost linear N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a CF₃COO⁻...C₄H₈N₅⁺ unit. Two units related by an inversion centre interact through a pair of N—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming planar (CF₃COO⁻...C₄H₈N₅⁺...C₄H₈N₅⁺·CF₃COO⁻) aggregates that are linked by a pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the c axis.     

4‐(3‐Azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium chloride hydrogen oxalate: an unusual example of a dication with different counter‐anions

The mixed organic–inorganic title salt, C₇H₁₈N₂O²⁺·C₂HO₄⁻·Cl⁻, forms an assembly of ionic components which are stabilized through a series of hydrogen bonds and charge‐assisted intermolecular interactions. The title assembly crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with Z = 8. The asymmetric unit consists of a 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium dication, a hydrogen oxalate counter‐anion and an inorganic chloride counter‐anion. The organic cations and anions are connected through a network of N—H...O, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming several intermolecular rings that can be described by the graph‐set notations R₃³(13), R₂¹(5), R₁²(5), R₂¹(6), R₂³(6), R₂²(8) and R₃³(9). The 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium dications are interconnected through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(9) chains that run diagonally along the ab face. Furthermore, the hydrogen oxalate anions are interconnected via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming head‐to‐tail C(5) chains along the crystallographic b axis. The two types of chains are linked through additional N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and the hydrogen oxalate chains are sandwiched by the 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium chains, forming organic layers that are separated by the chloride anions. Finally, the layered three‐dimensional structure is stabilized via intermolecular N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl interactions.     

Two three‐dimensional networks in the binary molecular adducts 4‐methylimidazolium hydrogen terephthalate and bis(4‐methylimidazolium) terephthalate

Both the 1:1 and 2:1 molecular adducts of 4‐methylimidazole (4‐MeIm) and terephthalic acid (H₂TPA) are organic salts, viz. C₄H₇N₂⁺·C₈H₅O₄⁻, (I), and 2C₄H₇N₂⁺·C₈H₄O₄²⁻, (II), respectively. The component ions in (I) are linked by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into continuous two‐dimensional layers built from R₆⁴(32) hydrogen‐bond motifs running parallel to the (100) plane. These adjacent two‐dimensional layers are in turn linked by a combination of C—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions into a three‐dimensional network. In the crystal structure of (II), with the anion located on an inversion centre, only N—H...O hydrogen bonds result in two‐dimensional layers built from R₈⁸(42) hydrogen‐bond motifs running parallel to the (102) plane. Being similar to those in (I), these layers are also linked by means of C—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions, forming a three‐dimensional network. This study indicates that, on occasion, a change of the reactant concentration can exert a pivotal influence on the construction of supramolecular structures based on hydrogen bonds.     

A two‐dimensional layer in N,N′‐bis[2‐(hydroxymethyl)benzyl]ethylenediamine and a three‐dimensional network in N,N′‐bis[2‐(hydroxymethyl)benzyl]ethylenediammonium bis(perchlorate)

In both title compounds, C₁₈H₂₄N₂O₂, (Ia), and C₁₈H₂₆N₂O₂²⁺·2ClO₄⁻, (II), respectively, the two aryl rings are strictly parallel, with an inversion centre lying at the mid‐point of each central CH₂—CH₂ bond. Molecules in (Ia) are linked into two‐dimensional layers by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The component ions in (II) are joined together by a combination of N/O/C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π and anion...π interactions, forming a three‐dimensional network. A structural understanding of (Ia) and (II) may provide some useful information about how and why their metal–organic complexes display various biological activities and function in catalytic processes.     

Three‐dimensional networks in 5‐methylimidazolium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate and bis(5‐methylimidazolium) 3‐carboxylato‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate

The two title proton‐transfer compounds, 5‐methylimidazolium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate, C₄H₇N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻, (I), and bis(5‐methylimidazolium) 3‐carboxylato‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate, 2C₄H₇N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S²⁻, (II), are each organized into a three‐dimensional network by a combination of X—H...O (X = O, N or C) hydrogen bonds, and π–π and C—H...π interactions.     

Two isomorphous azastilbene derivatives: 1‐(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐4‐[(E)‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]pyridinium chloride and 1‐(2‐bromobenzyl)‐4‐[(E)‐2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethenyl]pyridinium bromide

The crystal structures of the two title (E)‐stilbazolium halogenates, C₂₀H₁₇ClNO⁺·Cl⁻ and C₂₀H₁₇BrNO⁺·Br⁻, are isomorphous, with an isostructurality index of 0.985. The azastyryl fragments are almost planar, with dihedral angles between the benzene and pyridine rings of ca 4.5°. The rings of the benzyl groups are, in turn, almost perpendicular to the azastyryl planes, with dihedral angles larger than 80°. The cations and anions are connected by O—H...X⁻ (X = halogen) hydrogen bonds. The halide anions are `sandwiched' between the charged pyridinium rings of neighbouring molecules, and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...X and C—H...π interactions also contribute to the crystal structures.     

Two two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded coordination networks: bis(3‐carboxybenzoato‐κO)bis(4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN3)copper(II) and bis(3‐methylbenzoato‐κN)bis(4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN3)copper(II) monohydrate

The title two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded coordination compounds, [Cu(C₈H₅O₄)₂(C₄H₆N₂)₂], (I), and [Cu(C₈H₇O₂)₂(C₄H₆N₂)₂]·H₂O, (II), have been synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecule of complex (I) lies across an inversion centre, and the Cu²⁺ ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two 4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole (4‐MeIM) molecules and two O atoms from two 3‐carboxybenzoate (HBDC⁻) anions in a square‐planar geometry. Adjacent molecules are linked through intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a two‐dimensional sheet with (4,4) topology. In the asymmetric part of the unit cell of (II) there are two symmetry‐independent molecules, in which each Cu²⁺ ion is also coordinated by two N atoms from two 4‐MeIM molecules and two O atoms from two 3‐methylbenzoate (3‐MeBC⁻) anions in a square‐planar coordination. Two neutral complex molecules are held together via N—H...O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds to generate a dimeric pair, which is further linked via discrete water molecules into a two‐dimensional network with the Schläfli symbol (4³)₂(4⁶,6⁶,8³). In both compounds, as well as the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds, π–π interactions also stabilize the crystal stacking.     

Z and E isomers of butenedioic acid with 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole: 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen maleate and 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen fumarate

Maleic acid and fumaric acid, the Z and E isomers of butenedioic acid, form 1:1 adducts with 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole, namely 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen maleate (2ATHM), C₃H₅N₂S⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, and 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazolium hydrogen fumarate (2ATHF), C₃H₅N₂S⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, respectively. In both compounds, protonation of the ring N atom of the 2‐amino‐1,3‐thiazole and deprotonation of one of the carboxyl groups are observed. The asymmetric unit of 2ATHF contains three independent ion pairs. The hydrogen maleate ion of 2ATHM shows a short intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond with an O...O distance of 2.4663 (19) Å. An extensive hydrogen‐bonded network is observed in both compounds, involving N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. 2ATHM forms two‐dimensional sheets parallel to the ab plane, extending as independent parallel sheets along the c axis, whereas 2ATHF forms two‐dimensional zigzag layers parallel to the bc plane, extending as independent parallel layers along the a axis.     

4‐Methoxyanilinium tetrafluoroborate–dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6 (1/1)

In the structure of the complex of dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6 [systematic name: 2,5,8,15,18,21‐hexaoxatricyclo[20.4.0.0^9,14]hexacosa‐1(26),9,11,13,22,24‐hexaene] with 4‐methoxyanilinium tetrafluoroborate, C₇H₁₀NO⁺·BF₄⁻·C₂₀H₂₄O₆, the protonated 4‐methoxyanilinium (MB‐NH₃⁺) cation forms a 1:1 supramolecular rotator–stator complex with the dibenzo‐18‐crown‐6 molecule via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The MB‐NH₃⁺ group is attached from the convex side of the bowl‐shaped crown, in contrast with similar ammonium cations that nest in the curvature of the bowl. The cations are associated via C—H...π interactions, while the cations and anions are linked by weak C—H...F hydrogen bonds, forming cation–crown–anion chains parallel to [011].     

Comparison of the hydrogen‐bond patterns in 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolium hydrogen oxalate, 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–succinic acid (1/2), 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–glutaric acid (1/1) and 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–adipic acid (1/1)

The X‐ray single‐crystal structure determinations of the chemically related compounds 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazolium hydrogen oxalate, C₂H₄N₃S⁺·C₂HO₄⁻, (I), 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–succinic acid (1/2), C₂H₃N₃S·2C₄H₆O₄, (II), 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–glutaric acid (1/1), C₂H₃N₃S·C₅H₈O₄, (III), and 2‐amino‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole–adipic acid (1/1), C₂H₃N₃S·C₆H₁₀O₄, (IV), are reported and their hydrogen‐bonding patterns are compared. The hydrogen bonds are of the types N—H...O or O—H...N and are of moderate strength. In some cases, weak C—H...O interactions are also present. Compound (II) differs from the others not only in the molar ratio of base and acid (1:2), but also in its hydrogen‐bonding pattern, which is based on chain motifs. In (I), (III) and (IV), the most prominent feature is the presence of an R₂²(8) graph‐set motif formed by N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, which are present in all structures except for (I), where only a pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds is present, in agreement with the greater acidity of oxalic acid. There are nonbonding S...O interactions present in all four structures. The difference electron‐density maps show a lack of electron density about the S atom along the S...O vector. In all four structures, the carboxylic acid H atoms are present in a rare configuration with a C—C—O—H torsion angle of ∼0°. In the structures of (II)–(IV), the C—C—O—H torsion angle of the second carboxylic acid group has the more common value of ∼|180|°. The dicarboxylic acid molecules are situated on crystallographic inversion centres in (II). The Raman and IR spectra of the title compounds are presented and analysed.     

2,3‐Dimethoxy‐10‐oxostrychnidinium 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoate monohydrate: a 1:1 proton‐transfer salt of brucine with o‐picraminobenzoic acid

In the structure of the title 1:1 proton‐transfer compound of brucine with 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoic acid, C₂₃H₂₇N₂O₄⁺·C₁₃H₇N₄O₈⁻·H₂O, the brucinium cations form classic undulating ribbon substructures through overlapping head‐to‐tail interactions, while the anions and the three related partial solvent water molecules (having occupancies of 0.73, 0.17 and 0.10) occupy the interstitial regions of the structure. The cations are linked to the anions directly through N—H...O_COO− hydrogen bonds and indirectly by the three water molecules, which form similar conjoint cyclic bridging units [graph set R²₄(8)] through O—H...O_C=O and O—H...O_COO− hydrogen bonds, giving a two‐dimensional layered structure. Within the anion, intramolecular N—H...O_COO− and N—H...O_nitro hydrogen bonds result in the benzoate and picrate rings being rotated slightly out of coplanarity [inter‐ring dihedral angle = 32.50 (14)°]. This work provides another example of the molecular selectivity of brucine in forming stable crystal structures, and also represents the first reported structure of any form of the guest compound 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoic acid.     

One‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures in the 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with 8‐hydroxyquinoline, 8‐aminoquinoline and quinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid (quinaldic acid)

The structures of the 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with 8‐hydroxyquinoline, 8‐aminoquinoline and quinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid (quinaldic acid), namely anhydrous 8‐hydroxyquinolinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (I), 8‐aminoquinolinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₉H₉N₂⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (II), and the adduct hydrate 2‐carboxyquinolinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate quinolinium‐2‐carboxylate monohydrate, C₁₀H₈NO₂⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻·C₁₀H₇NO₂·H₂O, (III), have been determined at 130 K. Compounds (I) and (II) are isomorphous and all three compounds have one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded chain structures, formed in (I) through O—H...O_carboxyl extensions and in (II) through N⁺—H...O_carboxyl extensions of cation–anion pairs. In (III), a hydrogen‐bonded cyclic R₂²(10) pseudo‐dimer unit comprising a protonated quinaldic acid cation and a zwitterionic quinaldic acid adduct molecule is found and is propagated through carboxylic acid O—H...O_carboxyl and water O—H...O_carboxyl interactions. In both (I) and (II), there are also cation–anion aromatic ring π–π associations. This work further illustrates the utility of both hydrogen phthalate anions and interactive‐group‐substituted quinoline cations in the formation of low‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures.
