The crystal structure of 9‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐2‐ethyl‐1‐(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,2‐d][1,5]‐benzoxazepinium hexachloroantimonate

The title compound 4 , i.e. 9‐chloro‐4,5‐dihydro‐2‐ethyl‐1‐(2,4,6‐trichlorophenyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazolo[3,2‐d]‐[1,5]benzoxazepinium hexachloroantimonate, is a novel 6‐7‐5 tricyclic heterocycle. C₁₈H₁₄Cl₄N₃O·SbCJ₆, M = 764.61, P2₁/c(#14), a = 13.457(4), b = 11.583(2), c = 18.992(3) Å α = 90, β = 110.11(1)°, Z = 4, V = 2780(1) ų, D_c = 1.827 g/cc, μ (MoKα) = 19.69 cm^?1, F(000) = 1488.00, T = 293 K, R_int = 0.055 for 3094 independent reflections with I>3.00σ(I). The five‐membered heterocyclic ring is nearly planar, with the trichlorophenyl ring at N(2) almost perpendicular to it. However, the seven‐membered ring is not planar, but adopts a twist‐boat conformation.     

Unexpected dipivaloyl­ation of 9‐li­thia­ted fluorene: formation of 1‐(fluoren‐9‐yl­idene)‐2,2‐di­methyl­propyl pivalate

Treatment of 9‐li­thia­ted fluorene with pivaloyl chloride provided ap‐9‐pivaloyl­fluorene, (1), the major product, and a minor product ultimately identified as the title compound, C₂₃H₂₆O₂, (2). The latter was also formed directly, but slowly, from 9‐li­thia­ted‐(1) treated with pivaloyl chloride. Although (1) exists exclusively as its less sterically restricted ap rotamer, its sp²‐hybridized anion sterically impedes reaction at the 9‐position from either face. While 9‐li­thia­ted‐(1) is exclusively, but slowly, 9‐methyl­ated with methyl iodide, reaction with pivaloyl chloride, also slow, leads only to the O‐acyl­ated product, (2). The protons of the tert‐butyl‐C=C moiety approach a proton on the fluorene ring to well within the sum of their van der Waals radii, resulting in significant molecular compression, strain and distortion. For example, distortion in the moiety C=C(O)(C) is exhibited by the enlargement of C=C—C angle to 130.6 (2)° at the expense of the corresponding `equivalent' C=C—O angle, which is compressed to 116.46 (19)°.     

The 9H‐9‐Borafluorene Dianion: A Surrogate for Elusive Diarylboryl Anion Nucleophiles

Double reduction of the THF adduct of 9H‐9‐borafluorene ( 1 ?THF) with excess alkali metal affords the dianion salts M₂[ 1 ] in essentially quantitative yields (M=Li–K). Even though the added charge is stabilized through π delocalization, [ 1 ]^2? acts as a formal boron nucleophile toward organoboron ( 1 ?THF) and tetrel halide electrophiles (MeCl, Et₃SiCl, Me₃SnCl) to form B?B/C/Si/Sn bonds. The substrate dependence of open‐shell versus closed‐shell pathways has been investigated.     

Enantiotropic phase transition and twinning in 2,2,3,3,4,4‐hexafluoropentane‐1,5‐diol

Four crystal structure determinations of 2,2,3,3,4,4‐hexafluoropentane‐1,5‐diol (HFPD), C₅H₆F₆O₂, were conducted on a single specimen by varying the temperature. Two polymorphs of HFPD were found to be enantiotropically related as phases (I) and (II), both in the space group P1. These structures contain closely related R₄⁴(20) sheets. A structure determination was completed on form (Ia) at 283 K. Form (Ia) was then supercooled below the phase transition temperature at 279 to 173 K to give form (Ib) for a second structure determination. Metastable form (Ib) was transformed by momentary warming and recooling to give form (II) for a third structure determination at 173 K. Form (II) transformed to form (Ic) upon warming to 283 K. Enantiotropic phase transitions between phases (I) and (II) were confirmed with X‐ray powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. Form (Ia) was found as a twin by nonmerohedry by a reflection in (011). This twinning persists in all phases described. Additional twinning was found after the phase (I) to phase (II) transformation. These two additional twin components are related to the first pair by a 180° rotation about the (012) plane. This latter pair of twins persisted as the specimen was warmed back to form (Ic) at 283 K.     

Polyurethane elastomers based on amphiphilic poly(caprolactone)‐b‐poly(butadiene)‐b‐poly(caprolactone) triblockcopolyols

Hydroxyl‐terminated poly(butadiene) (HTPB; M_n = 2100 g mol⁻¹) was capped with 30 and 60 wt % of ɛ‐caprolactone to reach amphiphilic triblock copolymers in form of capped poly(butadiene) CPB. The former (CPB30; M_n = 3300 g/mol) is amorphous with a glass temperature of −56 °C. CPB60 (M_n = 4000 g mol⁻¹) is semi‐crystalline with a melting point of 50 °C and a glass transition at −47 °C. The CPBs, HTPB and polycaprolactone diol (M_n = 2000 g mol⁻¹) were used as soft segment components in the preparation of polyurethane elastomers (PUE), using a 1/1 mixture of an MDI prepolymer and uretonimine modified MDI, and hard phase components in form of 1,3‐propane diol, 1,4‐butane diol, and 1,5‐pentane diol. CPB‐based elastomers with 1,4 butane diol (8 wt %) show hard domains as fringed aggregates with a better connection to the continuous phase than the HTPB‐based PUE. The soft segment glass transition temperature (T_g) is at −28 °C for HTPB‐based PUE and at −43 °C for those of CPB. The tensile strength of the CPB30&60‐based PUE is found between 20 and 30 MPa at an elongation at break of 400% and 550%, respectively. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

7‐Amino‐1‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazolo[4,5‐d]pyrimidine: an 8‐azaadenine nucleoside with the nucleobase in a syn conformation

The title compound, C₉H₁₂N₆O₃, shows a syn‐glycosylic bond orientation [χ = 64.17 (16)°]. The 2′‐deoxyfuranosyl moiety exhibits an unusual C1′‐exo–O4′‐endo (₁T⁰; S‐type) sugar pucker, with P = 111.5 (1)° and τ_m = 40.3 (1)°. The conformation at the exocyclic C4′—C5′ bond is +sc (gauche), with γ = 64.4 (1)°. The two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network is built from intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds. An intramolecular bifurcated hydrogen bond, with an amino N—H group as hydrogen‐bond donor and the ring and hydroxymethyl O atoms of the sugar moiety as acceptors, constrains the overall conformation of the nucleoside.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Hydrogen Bonding,and Thermal Behavior of a Three‐Dimensional CuII‐benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetracarboxylate Templated by 1,9‐Diaminononane

Triclinic single crystals of Cu₄(H₃N–(CH₂)₉–NH₃)(OH)₂[C₆H₂(COO)₄]₂ · 5H₂O were prepared in aqueous solution at 80 °C in the presence of 1,9‐diaminononane. Space group P$\bar{1}$ (no. 2) with a = 1057.5(2), b = 1166.0(2), c = 1576.7(2) pm, α = 106.080(10)°, β = 90.73(2)° and γ = 94.050(10)°. The four crystallographic independent Cu²⁺ ions are surrounded by five oxygen atoms each with Cu–O distances between 191.4(3) and 231.7(4) pm. The connection between the Cu²⁺ coordination polyhedra and the [C₆H₂(COO)₄]^4– anions yields three‐dimensional framework with negative excess charge and wide centrosymmetric channel‐like voids. These voids extend parallel to [001] with the diagonal of the nearly rectangular cross‐section of approximately 900 pm. The channels of the framework accommodate [H₃N–(CH₂)₉–NH₃]²⁺ cations and water molecules, which are not connected to Cu²⁺. The nonane‐1,9‐diammonium cations adopt a partial gauche conformation. Thermoanalytical measurements in air show a loss of water of crystallization starting at 90 °C and finishing at approx. 170 °C. The dehydrated compound is stable up to 260 °C followed by an exothermic decomposition yielding copper oxide.     

7‐Deaza‐2,8‐diaza­adenosine

In the title compound [systematic name: 4‐amino‐7‐(β‐d ‐ribofuranos­yl)‐7H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐d][1,2,3]triazine], C₉H₁₂N₆O₄, the torsion angle of the N‐glycosylic bond is high anti [χ = −83.2 (3)°]. The ribofuran­ose moiety adopts the C2′‐endo–C1′‐exo (²T₁) sugar conformation (S‐type sugar pucker), with P = 152.4° and τ_m = 35.0°. The conformation at the C4′—C5′ bond is +sc (gauche,gauche), with the torsion angle γ = 52.0 (3)°. The compound forms a three‐dimensional network that is stabilized by several hydrogen bonds (N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O).     

A Gadolinium Complex of the 5‐(1H‐Tetrazol‐5‐yl)isophthalic Acid Ligand: [Gd(C9H3N4O4)(H2O)3·2H2O]n

The reaction of Gd(ClO₄)₃·6H₂O with 5‐(1H‐tetrazol‐5‐yl)isophthalic acid affords a 3D framework gadolinium coordination polymer, [Gd(C₉H₃N₄O₄)(H₂O)₃·2H₂O]_n ( 1 ). Its crystal structure belongs to a triclinic system, space group , with a = 7.909(2) Å; b = 8.448(2) Å; c = 10.994(2) Å; α = 102.65(3)°; β = 124.32(2)°; γ = 96.28(3)°; V = 704.5(2) ų; Z = 2; R₁ = 0.0245 for 3225 reflections with I >2σ(I), wR₂ = 0.0556. Fluorescent analyses show that compound 1 exhibits purple fluorescence in the solid state at room temperature.     

The first crystal structure of an alkaline metal salt of thioglucose: potassium 1‐thio‐β‐D‐glucoside monohydrate

In the crystal structure of the title hydrated salt, poly[(μ₂‐aqua)(μ₄‐1‐sulfido‐β‐D‐glucoside)potassium], [K(C₆H₁₁O₅S)(H₂O)]_n or K⁺·C₆H₁₁O₅S⁻·H₂O, each thioglucoside anion coordinates to four K⁺ cations through three of its four hydroxy groups, forming a three‐dimensional polymeric structure. The negatively charged thiolate group in each anion does not form an efficient coordination bond with a K⁺ cation, but forms intermolecular hydrogen bonds with four hydroxy groups, which appears to sustain the polymeric structure. The Cremer–Pople parameters for the thioglucoside ligand (Q = 0.575, θ = 8.233° and ϕ = 353.773°) indicate a slight distortion of the pyranose ring.     

A 2D Metal‐Organic Framework Based on 9‐(Pyridin‐4‐yl)‐9H‐carbazole‐3,6‐dicarboxylic Acid: Synthesis,Structure and Properties

A metal‐organic framework (MOF ) formulated as [Cd₂(μ₃‐L)₂(DMF )₄]•H₂O ( CdL ) [H₂L =9‐(pyridin‐4‐yl)‐ 9H ‐carbazole‐3,6‐dicarboxylic acid, DMF =N ,N ‐dimethylformamide] was synthesized under solvothermal condition. Crystal structural analysis reveals that CdL features the layered 2D framework with L^{2 −} ligands as 3‐connected nodes. The compound CdL emits blue‐violet light with the narrow emission peak and the emission maximum at 414 nm upon excitation at the maximum excitation wavelength of 340 nm. The compound CdL has a similar emission spectrum curve to the free H₂L ligand that indicates the emission of compound CdL should be originated from the coordinated L^{2 −} ligands.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of diaquabis(2,6‐diamino‐7H‐purin‐1‐ium‐κN9)bis(4,4′‐oxydibenzoato‐κO)cobalt(II) dihydrate

The title mononuclear Co^II complex, [Co(C₅H₇N₆)₂(C₁₄H₈O₅)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X‐ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P, with one formula unit per cell (Z = 1 and Z′ = ). It consists of a mononuclear unit with the Co^II ion on an inversion centre coordinated by two 2,6‐diamino‐7H‐purin‐1‐ium cations, two 4,4′‐oxydibenzoate anions (in a nonbridging κO‐monodentate coordination mode, which is less common for the anion in its Co^II complexes) and two water molecules, defining an octahedral environment around the metal atom. There is a rich assortment of nonbonding interactions, among which a strong N⁺—H…O⁻ bridge, with a short N…O distance of 2.5272 (18) Å, stands out, with the H atom ostensibly displaced away from its expected position at the donor side, towards the acceptor. The complex molecules assemble into a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. A variable‐temperature magnetic study between 2 and 300 K reveals an orbital contribution to the magnetic moment and a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Co^II centres as the temperature decreases. The model leads to the following values: A (crystal field strength) = 1.81, λ (spin‐orbit coupling) = −59.9 cm⁻¹, g (Landé factor) = 2.58 and zJ (exchange coupling) = −0.5 cm⁻¹.     

Reversible phase transition of 2‐carboxypyridinium perchlorate–pyridinium‐2‐carboxylate (1/1)

The title salt, C₆H₆NO₂⁺·ClO₄⁻·C₆H₅NO₂, was crystallized from an aqueous solution of equimolar quantities of perchloric acid and pyridine‐2‐carboxylic acid. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements show that the compound undergoes a reversible phase transition at about 261.7 K, with a wide heat hysteresis of 21.9 K. The lower‐temperature polymorph (denoted LT; T = 223 K) crystallizes in the space group C2/c, while the higher‐temperature polymorph (denoted RT; T = 296 K) crystallizes in the space group P2/c. The relationship between these two phases can be described as: 2a_RT = a_LT; 2b_RT = b_LT; c_RT = c_LT. The crystal structure contains an infinite zigzag hydrogen‐bonded chain network of 2‐carboxypyridinium cations. The most distinct difference between the higher (RT) and lower (LT) temperature phases is the change in dihedral angle between the planes of the carboxylic acid group and the pyridinium ring, which leads to the formation of different ten‐membered hydrogen‐bonded rings. In the RT phase, both the perchlorate anions and the hydrogen‐bonded H atom within the carboxylic acid group are disordered. The disordered H atom is located on a twofold rotation axis. In the LT phase, the asymmetric unit is composed of two 2‐carboxypyridinium cations, half an ordered perchlorate anion with ideal tetrahedral geometry and a disordered perchlorate anion. The phase transition is attributable to the order–disorder transition of half of the perchlorate anions.     

3,4,6‐Tri‐O‐acetyl‐1,2‐O‐[1‐(exo‐ethoxy)ethylidene]‐β‐d‐mannopyranose 0.11‐hydrate

The title compound, C₁₆H₂₄O₁₀·0.11H₂O, is a key intermediate in the synthesis of 2‐deoxy‐2‐[¹⁸F]fluoro‐d ‐glucose (¹⁸F‐FDG), which is the most widely used molecular‐imaging probe for positron emission tomography (PET). The crystal structure has two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit, with closely comparable geometries. The pyranose ring adopts a ⁴C₁ conformation [Cremer–Pople puckering parameters: Q = 0.553 (2) Å, θ = 16.2 (2)° and ϕ = 290.4 (8)° for molecule A, and Q = 0.529 (2) Å, θ =15.3 (3)° and ϕ = 268.2 (9)° for molecule B], and the dioxolane ring adopts an envelope conformation. The chiral centre in the dioxolane ring, introduced during the synthesis of the compound, has an R configuration, with the ethoxy group exo to the mannopyranose ring. The asymmetric unit also contains one water molecule with a refined site‐occupancy factor of 0.222 (8), which bridges between molecules A and B via O—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

4‐Aminopyridinium 2‐(anthracen‐9‐yl)‐3‐oxo‐3H‐inden‐1‐olate monohydrate

The title compound, 2C₅H₇N₂⁺·2C₂₃H₁₃O₂⁻·H₂O, formed as a by‐product in the attempted synthesis of a nonlinear optical candidate molecule, contains two independent 4‐aminopyridinium cations and 2‐(anthracen‐9‐yl)‐3‐oxo‐3H‐inden‐1‐olate anions with one solvent water molecule. This is the first reported structure containing these anions. The two anions are not planar, having different interplanar angles between the anthracenyl and inden‐1‐olate moieties of 59.07 (5) and 83.92 (5)°. The crystal packing, which involves strong classical hydrogen bonds and one C—H...π interaction, appears to account for both the nonplanarity and this difference.     

6‐Aza‐2′‐deoxy­uridine and N3‐anisoyl‐6‐aza‐2′‐deoxy­uridine

In 2‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3,5(2H,4H)‐dione (6‐aza‐2′‐deoxy­uridine), C₈H₁₁N₃O₅, (I), the conformation of the glycosylic bond is between anti and high‐anti [χ = −94.0 (3)°], whereas the derivative 2‐(2‐deoxy‐β‐d ‐erythro‐pentofuranosyl)‐N⁴‐(2‐methoxy­benzoyl)‐1,2,4‐triazine‐3,5(2H,4H)‐dione (N³‐anisoyl‐6‐aza‐2′‐deoxy­uridine), C₁₆H₁₇N₃O₇, (II), displays a high‐anti conformation [χ = −86.4 (3)°]. The furanosyl moiety in (I) adopts the S‐type sugar pucker (²T₃), with P = 188.1 (2)° and τ_m = 40.3 (2)°, while the sugar pucker in (II) is N (³T₄), with P = 36.1 (3)° and τ_m = 33.5 (2)°. The crystal structures of (I) and (II) are stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O inter­actions.     

Synthesis,Structural Characterization,Photophysics, and Broadband Nonlinear Absorption of a Platinum(II) Complex with the 6‐(7‐Benzothiazol‐2′‐yl‐9,9‐diethyl‐9 H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)‐2,2′‐bipyridinyl Ligand

A platinum complex with the 6‐(7‐benzothiazol‐2′‐yl‐9,9‐diethyl‐9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)‐2,2′‐bipyridinyl ligand ( 1 ) was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined. UV/Vis absorption, emission, and transient difference absorption of 1 were systematically investigated. DFT calculations were carried out on 1 to characterize the electronic ground state and aid in the understanding of the nature of low‐lying excited electronic states. Complex 1 exhibits intense structured ¹π–π* absorption at λ_abs<440 nm, and a broad, moderate ¹M LCT/¹LLCT transition at 440–520 nm in CH₂Cl₂ solution. A structured ³π–π*/³M LCT emission at about 590 nm was observed at room temperature and at 77 K. Complex 1 exhibits both singlet and triplet excited‐state absorption from 450 nm to 750 nm, which are tentatively attributed to the ¹π–π* and ³π–π* excited states of the 6‐(7‐benzothiazol‐2′‐yl‐9,9‐diethyl‐9H‐fluoren‐2‐yl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligand, respectively. Z‐scan experiments were conducted by using ns and ps pulses at 532 nm, and ps pulses at a variety of visible and near‐IR wavelengths. The experimental data were fitted by a five‐level model by using the excited‐state parameters obtained from the photophysical study to deduce the effective singlet and triplet excited‐state absorption cross sections in the visible spectral region and the effective two‐photon absorption cross sections in the near‐IR region. Our results demonstrate that 1 possesses large ratios of excited‐state absorption cross sections relative to that of the ground‐state in the visible spectral region; this results in a remarkable degree of reverse saturable absorption from 1 in CH₂Cl₂ solution illuminated by ns laser pulses at 532 nm. The two‐photon absorption cross sections in the near‐IR region for 1 are among the largest values reported for platinum complexes. Therefore, 1 is an excellent, broadband, nonlinear absorbing material that exhibits strong reverse saturable absorption in the visible spectral region and large two‐photon‐assisted excited‐state absorption in the near‐IR region.     

Regiodirected Synthesis and Stereochemistry of 2,4,8‐Trialkyl‐3‐thia‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes and α,ω‐Bis(2,4,6‐trialkyl‐1,3,5‐dithiazinane‐5‐yl)alkanes

2,4,8‐Trialkyl‐3‐thia‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes have been obtained by the regioselective and stereoselective cyclocondensation of 1,2‐ethanediamine with aldehydes RCHO (R═Me, Et, Prⁿ, Buⁿ, Pentⁿ) and H₂S at molar ratio 1:3:2 at 0°C. The increase in molar ratio of thiomethylation mixture RCHO–H₂S (6:4) at 40°C resulted in selective formation of bis‐(2,4,6‐trialkyl‐1,3,5‐dithiazinane‐5‐yl)ethanes. Cyclothiomethylation of aliphatic α,ω‐diamines with aldehydes RCHO (R═Me, Et) and H₂S at molar ratio 1:6:4 and at 40°С led to α,ω‐bis(2,4,6‐trialkyl‐1,3,5‐dithiazinane‐5‐yl)alkanes. Stereochemistry of 2,4,8‐trialkyl‐3‐thia‐1,5‐diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes have been determined by means of ¹H and ¹³С NMR spectroscopy and further supported by DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level. The structure of α,ω‐bis(2,4,6‐trialkyl‐1,3,5‐dithiazinane‐5‐yl)alkanes was confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study.     

N‐Benzylnicotinamide and N‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide: useful models for NAD+ and NADH

3‐Aminocarbonyl‐1‐benzylpyridinium bromide (N‐benzylnicotinamide, BNA), C₁₃H₁₃N₂O⁺·Br⁻, (I), and 1‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydropyridine‐3‐carboxamide (N‐benzyl‐1,4‐dihydronicotinamide, rBNA), C₁₃H₁₄N₂O, (II), are valuable model compounds used to study the enzymatic cofactors NAD(P)⁺ and NAD(P)H. BNA was crystallized successfully and its structure determined for the first time, while a low‐temperature high‐resolution structure of rBNA was obtained. Together, these structures provide the most detailed view of the reactive portions of NAD(P)⁺ and NAD(P)H. The amide group in BNA is rotated 8.4 (4)° out of the plane of the pyridine ring, while the two rings display a dihedral angle of 70.48 (17)°. In the rBNA structure, the dihydropyridine ring is essentially planar, indicating significant delocalization of the formal double bonds, and the amide group is coplanar with the ring [dihedral angle = 4.35 (9)°]. This rBNA conformation may lower the transition‐state energy of an ene reaction between a substrate double bond and the dihydropyridine ring. The transition state would involve one atom of the double bond binding to the carbon ortho to both the ring N atom and the amide substituent of the dihydropyridine ring, while the other end of the double bond accepts an H atom from the methylene group para to the N atom.     

2,6‐Diamino‐9H‐purine monohydrate and bis(2,6‐diamino‐9H‐purin‐1‐ium) 2‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)acetate heptahydrate: two simple structures with very complex hydrogen‐bonding schemes

Two structures presenting an uncomplexed 2,6‐diaminopurine (dap) group are reported, namely 2,6‐diamino‐9H‐purine monohydrate, C₅H₆N₆·H₂O, (I), and bis(2,6‐diamino‐9H‐purin‐1‐ium) 2‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)acetate heptahydrate, 2C₅H₇N₆⁺·C₉H₆O₄²⁻·7H₂O, (II). Both structures are rather featureless from a molecular point of view, but present instead an outstanding hydrogen‐bonding scheme. In compound (I), this is achieved through a rather simple independent unit content (one neutral dap and one water molecule) and takes the form of two‐dimensional layers tightly connected by strong hydrogen bonds, and interlinked by much weaker hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. In compound (II), the fundamental building blocks are more complex, consisting of two independent 2,6‐diamino‐9H‐purin‐1‐ium (Hdap⁺) cations, one homophthalate [2‐(2‐carboxylatophenyl)acetate] dianion and seven solvent water molecules. The large number of hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors produces 26 independent interactions, leading to an extended and complicated network of hydrogen bonds in a packing organization characterized by the stacking of interleaved anionic and cationic planar arrays. These structural characteristics are compared with those of similar compounds in the literature.
