The crystal structures of the proton‐transfer compounds of 8‐quinolinol (oxine) with the aromatic sulfonic acids 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonic acid (orthanilic acid) and 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid (ferron) have been determined. In both 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₆H₆NO₃S⁻, (I), and 8‐hydroxyquino­linium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate ses­qui­hydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₉H₆INO₄S⁻·1.5H₂O, (II), extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions, together with significant cation–cation [in (I)] and cation–anion [in (II)] π–π stacking associations, give rise to layered polymer structures.     

Hydrogen bonding in 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with 4‐X‐substituted anilines (X = F,Cl or Br)

The crystal structures of three proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid (3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonic acid) with 4‐X‐substituted anilines (X = F, Cl and Br), namely 4‐fluoro­anilinium 5‐sulfosalicylate (3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate) monohydrate, C₆H₇FN⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (I), 4‐chloro­anilinium 5‐sulfosalicylate hemihydrate, C₆H₇ClN⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·0.5H₂O, (II), and 4‐bromo­anilinium 5‐sulfosalicylate monohydrate, C₆H₇BrN⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (III), have been determined. The asymmetric unit in (II) contains two formula units. All three compounds have three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded polymeric structures in which both the water molecule and the carboxylic acid group are involved in structure extension. With both (II) and (III), which are structurally similar, the common cyclic (8) dimeric carboxylic acid association is present, whereas in (I), an unusual cyclic (8) association involving all three hetero‐species is found.     

Layered structures in proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with the aromatic polyamines 2,6‐diamino­pyridine and 1,4‐phenyl­ene­diamine

The crystal structures of two proton‐transfer compounds of 3‐carb­oxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonic acid (5‐sulfosalicylic acid) with the aromatic polyamines 2,6‐diamino­pyridine [namely 2,6‐diamino­pyridinium 3‐carb­oxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate, C₅H₈N₃⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (I)] and 1,4‐phenyl­ene­diamine [namely 1,4‐phenyl­ene­diaminium 3‐carboxyl­ato‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate, C₆H₁₀N₂²⁺·C₇H₄O₆S²⁻, (II)] have been determined. Both compounds feature extensively hydrogen‐bonded three‐dimensional layered polymer structures having significant inter­layer π–π inter­actions between the cation and anion species. In (I), the pyridine N atom of the Lewis base is protonated and forms a direct hydrogen‐bonding inter­action with the water mol­ecule, which together with the two amine groups of the cation and the carboxylic acid group of the anion also give additional inter­actions with O‐atom acceptors of the sulfonate group. In (II), a dianionic species results from deprotonation of both the sulfonic and the carboxylic acid groups, and all available O‐atom acceptors inter­act with all dication donors, which lie about inversion centres.     

Zero‐, one‐ and two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures in the 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with the monocyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases 2‐aminopyrimidine,nicotinamide and isonicotinamide

The structures of the anhydrous 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid (DCPA) with the monocyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases 2‐aminopyrimidine, 3‐(aminocarbonyl)pyridine (nicotinamide) and 4‐(aminocarbonyl)pyridine (isonicotinamide), namely 2‐aminopyrimidinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₄H₆N₃⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (I), 3‐(aminocarbonyl)pyridinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₆H₇N₂O⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (II), and the unusual salt adduct 4‐(aminocarbonyl)pyridinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate–methyl 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate (1/1), C₆H₇N₂O⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻·C₉H₆Cl₂O₄, (III), have been determined at 130 K. Compound (I) forms discrete centrosymmetric hydrogen‐bonded cyclic bis(cation–anion) units having both R₂²(8) and R₁²(4) N—H...O interactions. In (II), the primary N—H...O‐linked cation–anion units are extended into a two‐dimensional sheet structure via amide–carboxyl and amide–carbonyl N—H...O interactions. The structure of (III) reveals the presence of an unusual and unexpected self‐synthesized methyl monoester of the acid as an adduct molecule, giving one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded chains. In all three structures, the hydrogen phthalate anions are essentially planar with short intramolecular carboxyl–carboxylate O—H...O hydrogen bonds [O...O = 2.393 (8)–2.410 (2) Å]. This work provides examples of low‐dimensional 1:1 hydrogen‐bonded DCPA structure types, and includes the first example of a discrete cyclic `heterotetramer.' This low dimensionality in the structures of the 1:1 aromatic Lewis base salts of the parent acid is generally associated with the planar DCPA anion species.     

Hydro­gen bonding in 1‐carbamoyl­guanidinium methyl­phospho­nate monohydrate

The title compound, C₂H₇N₄O⁺·CH₄O₃P⁻·H₂O, crystallized with one carbamoyl­guanidinium cation, one methyl­phos­phonate anion and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. All H atoms of the carbamoyl­guanidinium ion are involved in a hydrogen‐bonded network. The CH₃PO₂(OH) anions, together with the water mol­ecules, build O—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded ribbons around a 2₁ screw axis parallel to the b axis. Neighbouring ribbons are not directly connected via hydrogen bonding. The carbamoyl­guanidinium cations are linked to these ribbons by N—H⋯O bridges and build a slightly buckled layer structure, the interlayer distance being b/2.     

The three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework structure in the 1:1 proton‐transfer compound of the drug quinacrine with 5‐sulfosalicylic acid

For the hydrated proton‐transfer compound 6‐chloro‐9‐[(4‐diethylammonio‐2‐methylbutyl)amino]‐2‐methoxyacridinium 3‐carboxylato‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate dihydrate, C₂₃H₃₂ClN₃O²⁺·C₇H₄O₆S²⁻·2H₂O, (I), the conformational features, specifically those of the extended side chain at the 9‐position of the acridine parent, have been compared with those of quinacrinium dichloride dihydrate (the drug atabrine or mepacrine). Racemic compound (I) has a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework structure similar to atabrine but also involves the water molecules and both the carboxylate and sulfonate groups of the anion in structure extension. The comparable conformational features found in this uncommon derivative of quinacrine indicate that (I) has potential as a possible pharmaceutical substitute for atabrine.     

Two salts of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid and 3‐aminopyridine

5‐Sulfosalicylic acid (5‐SSA) and 3‐aminopyridine (3‐APy) crystallize in the same solvent system, resulting in two kinds of 1:1 proton‐transfer organic adduct, namely 3‐aminopyridinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate monohydrate, C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O or 3‐APy·5‐SSA·H₂O, (I), and the anhydrous adduct, C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻ or 3‐APy·5‐SSA, (II). Both compounds have extensively hydrogen‐bonded three‐dimensional layered polymer structures, with interlayer homo‐ and heterogeneous π–π interactions in (I) and (II), respectively.     

Low‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures in the 1:1 and 1:2 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with the aliphatic Lewis bases triethylamine,diethylamine, n‐butylamine and piperidine

The structures of the proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid (DCPA) with the aliphatic Lewis bases triethylamine, diethylamine, n‐butylamine and piperidine, namely triethylaminium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (I), diethylaminium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₄H₁₂N⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (II), bis(butanaminium) 4,5‐dichlorobenzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate monohydrate, 2C₄H₁₂N⁺·C₈H₂Cl₂O₄²⁻·H₂O, (III), and bis(piperidinium) 4,5‐dichlorobenzene‐1,2‐dicarboxylate monohydrate, 2C₅H₁₂N⁺·C₈H₂Cl₂O₄²⁻·H₂O, (IV), have been determined at 200 K. All compounds have hydrogen‐bonding associations, giving discrete cation–anion units in (I) and linear chains in (II), while (III) and (IV) both have two‐dimensional structures. In (I), a discrete cation–anion unit is formed through an asymmetric R₁²(4) N⁺—H...O₂ hydrogen‐bonding association, whereas in (II), chains are formed through linear N—H...O associations involving both aminium H‐atom donors. In compounds (III) and (IV), the primary N—H...O‐linked cation–anion units are extended into a two‐dimensional sheet structure via amide–carboxyl N—H...O and amide–carbonyl N—H...O interactions. In the 1:1 salts (I) and (II), the hydrogen 4,5‐dichlorophthalate anions are essentially planar with short intramolecular carboxyl–carboxyl O—H...O hydrogen bonds [O...O = 2.4223 (14) and 2.388 (2) Å, respectively]. This work provides a further example of the uncommon zero‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded DCPA–Lewis base salt and the one‐dimensional chain structure type, while even with the hydrate structures of the 1:2 salts with the primary and secondary amines, the low dimensionality generally associated with 1:1 DCPA salts is also found.     

Hydro­gen bonding and C—H⋯O interactions in 3‐(3‐amino­phthal­imido)phthalic acid dihydrate

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₀N₂O₆·2H₂O, crystallized in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P with one organic mol­ecule and two water mol­ecules as the asymmetric unit. Eight intermolecular hydrogen bonds have donor?acceptor distances in the range 2.602 (2)–3.289 (2) Å, with angles in the range 137 (2)–177 (2)°. These generate a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network. There is a single intramolecular hydrogen bond. There are six significant intermolecular C—H?O interactions with H?O distances in the range 2.39–2.74 Å, and C—H?O angles in the range 131–157°.

The title acid, C₁₉H₁₅FO₂, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group P with one mol­ecule as the asymmetric unit. There is a single hydrogen bond, with an O_D?O_A distance of 2.632 (2) Å and an O_D—H?O_A angle of 177 (3)°, which forms an R(8) cyclic dimer about a center of symmetry. There is a single leading intermolecular C—H?X interaction, with an H?F distance of 2.49 Å and a C—H?F angle of 147°. Three leading intramolecular C—H?X interactions appear to play a significant role in determining the orientation of the methyl and carboxyl groups.     

Hydro­gen bonding and C—H⃛O interactions in 4‐phenanthrenemethanol at 150 K

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₂O, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group I4₁/a with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the single hydrogen bond, the H atom is ordered, the O_D?O_A distance is 2.788 (1) Å and the O—H?O angle is 176 (1)°. Each hydroxyl group forms hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl groups and the resulting chains of interactions, in four non‐linked subsets of mol­ecules, propagate along [001]. The single leading intermolecular C—H?O interaction has an H?O distance of 2.81 Å and a C—H?O angle of 140°; the single leading intramolecular C—H?O interaction has an H?O distance of 2.24 Å and a C—H?O angle of 152°. The phenanthrene core is less nearly planar in this structure than in the room temperature structure of phenanthrene‐4‐carboxylic acid.     

The proton‐transfer compounds of strychnine with achiral salicylic acids: strychninium 3,5‐dinitro­salicylate and the strychninium 5‐nitro­salicylate bis­(5‐nitro­salicylic acid) adduct

In the crystal structures of the proton‐transfer compounds of strychnine with 3,5‐dinitro­salicylic acid, namely strychninium 3,5‐dinitro­salicylate, C₂₁H₂₃N₂O₂⁺·C₇H₃N₂O₇⁻, (I), and 5‐nitro­salicylic acid, namely strychninium–5‐nitro­salicylate–5‐nitro­salicylic acid (1/1/2), C₂₁H₂₃N₂O₂⁺·C₇H₄NO₅⁻·2C₇H₅NO₅, (II), protonation of one of the N atoms of the strychnine mol­ecule occurs and this group is subsequently involved in inter­molecular hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions. In (I), this is four‐centred, the primary being with an adjacent strychninium carbonyl O‐atom acceptor in a side‐to‐side inter­action giving linear chains. Other inter­actions are with the phenolate and nitro O‐atom acceptors of the anionic species, resulting in a one‐dimensional polymer structure. In (II), the N⁺—H inter­action is three‐centred, the hydrogen bonding involving carboxyl O‐atom acceptors of the anion and both acid adduct species, giving unique discrete hetero‐tetramer units. The structure of (II) also features π‐bonding inter­actions between the two acid adduct mol­ecules.     

Hydro­gen bonding and C—H⃛O interactions in 2‐[1‐(1‐naphthyl)ethyl]benzoic acid at 150 K

The title acid, C₁₉H₁₆O₂, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group Pnna with three mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit (apparently the first reported instance of Z′ = 3 in this space group). Four intermolecular hydrogen bonds have O_D?O_A distances of 2.660 (2), 2.594 (2), 2.633 (2) and 2.646 (2) Å, and angles of 177 (2), 179 (2), 175 (2) and 175 (2)°. The four hydrogen bonds form two R(8) cyclic dimers, one about a twofold axis. Five leading intermolecular C—H?O interactions are present. Although first‐ and second‐level graph sets involving these nine interactions are dominated by finite patterns, a three‐dimensional network becomes evident upon analysis of higher‐level graphs. A number of intramolecular C—H?O interactions are also present.     

Hydro­gen bonding and π–π stacking in di­methyl­genistein

The title compound, 5‐hydroxy‐4′,7‐di­methoxy­isoflavone, C₁₇H₁₄O₅, is composed of a benzo­pyran­one moiety, a phenyl moiety and two methoxy groups. The benzo­pyran­one ring is not coplanar with the phenyl ring, the dihedral angle between them being 56.28 (3)°. The two methoxy groups are nearly coplanar with their corresponding rings, having C—C—O—C torsion angles of 2.9 (2) and 5.9 (2)°. The mol­ecules are linked by C—H·O hydrogen bonds into sheets containing classical centrosymmetric (8) rings. The sheets are further linked by aromatic π–π stacking interactions and C—H·O hydrogen bonds into a supramolecular structure.     

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.     

Hydro­gen bonding in substituted nitro­anilines: isolated nets in 1,3‐­diamino‐4‐nitrobenzene and continuously interwoven nets in 3,5‐­dinitro­aniline

In 3,5‐di­nitro­aniline, C₆H₅N₃O₄, where Z′ = 2, the mol­ecules are linked by three N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 3.344 (2)–3.433 (2) Å and N—H?O 150–167°] into deeply puckered nets, each of which is interwoven with its two immediate neighbours.     

The 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4‐(phenyldiazenyl)aniline (aniline yellow) with 3‐nitrophthalic, 4‐nitrophthalic and 5‐nitroisophthalic acids

The structures of the anhydrous 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of the dye precursor aniline yellow [4‐(phenyldiazenyl)aniline], namely isomeric 4‐(phenyldiazenyl)anilinium 2‐carboxy‐6‐nitrobenzoate, C₁₂H₁₂N₃⁺·C₈H₄NO₆⁻, (I), and 4‐(phenyldiazenyl)anilinium 2‐carboxy‐4‐nitrobenzoate, C₁₂H₁₂N₃⁺·C₈H₄NO₆⁻, (II), and 4‐(phenyldiazenyl)anilinium 3‐carboxy‐5‐nitrobenzoate monohydrate, C₁₂H₁₂N₃⁺·C₈H₄NO₆⁻·H₂O, (III), have been determined at 130 K. In (I) the cation has longitudinal rotational disorder. All three compounds have substructures comprising backbones formed through strong head‐to‐tail carboxyl–carboxylate hydrogen‐bond interactions [graph set C(7) in (I) and (II), and C(8) in (III)]. Two‐dimensional sheet structures are formed in all three compounds by the incorporation of the 4‐(phenyldiazenyl)anilinium cations into the substructures, including, in the cases of (I) and (II), infinite H—N—H to carboxylate O—C—O group interactions [graph set C(6)], and in the case of (III), bridging through the water molecule of solvation. The peripheral alternating aromatic ring residues of both cations and anions give only weakly π‐interactive step features which lie between the sheets.     

Hydro­gen bonding in C‐substituted nitro­anilines: a chain of R(12) rings in 2‐methane­sulfonyl‐4‐nitro­aniline

(–)‐Dioxosantadienic acid: hydrogen‐bonding patterns in a bicyclic sesquiterpenoid keto acid and its mono­hydrate

The an­hydrous form, (I), of the title compound, (?)‐2‐(1,2,3,4,4a,7‐hexa­hydro‐4a,8‐di­methyl‐1,7‐dioxo‐2‐naphthyl)­propionic acid, C₁₅H₁₈O₄, derived from a naturally occurring sesquiterpenoid, has two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, (I) and (I′), differing in the conformations of the saturated ring and the carboxyl group. The compound aggregates as carboxyl‐to‐ketone hydrogen‐bonding catemers [O?O = 2.776 (3) and 2.775 (3) Å]. Two crystallographically independent sets of single‐strand hydrogen‐bonding helices with opposite end‐to‐end orientation pass through the cell in the b direction, one consisting exclusively of mol­ecules of (I) and the other entirely of (I′). Three C—H?O=C close contacts are found in (I). The monohydrate, C₁₅H₁₈O₄·H₂O, (II), with two mol­ecules of (I) plus two water mol­ecules in its asymmetric unit, forms a complex three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding network including acid‐to‐water, water‐to‐acid, water‐to‐ketone, water‐to‐water and acid‐to‐acid hydrogen bonds, plus three C—H?O=C close contacts. In both (I) and (II), only the ketone remote from the acid is involved in hydrogen bonding.     

Two‐ and three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded structures in the 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with the isomeric monoaminobenzoic acids

The crystal structures of the 1:1 proton‐transfer compounds of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with the three isomeric monoaminobenzoic acids, namely the hydrate 2‐carboxyanilinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate dihydrate, C₇H₈NO₂⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻·2H₂O, (I), and the anhydrous salts 3‐carboxyanilinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₇H₈NO₂⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (II), and 4‐carboxyanilinium 2‐carboxy‐4,5‐dichlorobenzoate, C₇H₈NO₂⁺·C₈H₃Cl₂O₄⁻, (III), have been determined at 130 K. Compound (I) has a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded sheet structure, while (II) and (III) are three‐dimensional. All three compounds feature sheet substructures formed through anilinium N⁺—H...O_carboxyl and anion carboxylic acid O—H...O_carboxyl interactions and, in the case of (I), additionally linked through the donor and acceptor associations of the solvent water molecules. However, (II) and (III) have additional lateral extensions of these substructures though cyclic R²₂(8) associations involving the carboxylic acid groups of the cations. Also, (II) and (III) have cation–anion π–π aromatic ring interactions. This work provides further examples illustrating the regular formation of network substructures in the 1:1 proton‐transfer salts of 4,5‐dichlorophthalic acid with the bifunctional aromatic amines.
