Crystal structure of three solvates of 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bicarboxylic acid with 2-picoline

From solutions in 2-picoline (2-methylpyridine), depending on the temperature of crystallization, the universal clathratogen — 1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-bicarboxylic acid (BBA) — precipitates as crystals of three types with different composition and structure. Under normal conditions (room temperature), the precipitate is crystals of BBA disolvate with 2-picoline; a temperature reduction of 20°C results in the crystallization of monosolvate dihydrate; and a temperature increase of the same level results in the precipitation of monosolvate. That is, as the temperature of crystallization rises, the number of included guest molecules gradually decreases and the space where they are located becomes more closed. In 1:1:2 BBA/2-picoline/H₂O solvate (space group P2₁/n, a = 11.991(2) Å, b = 9.317(2) Å, c = 22.283(5) Å, β = 99.77(3)○, V = 2453.3(9) ų, Z = 4), the carboxyl groups of the BBA molecule at the C21 atom are deprotonated and the released proton goes to the nitrogen atom of 2-picoline.
