An acetonitrile‐solvated cocrystal of piroxicam and succinic acid with co‐existing zwitterionic and non‐ionized piroxicam molecules

This work reports a new acetonitrile (ACN)‐solvated cocrystal of piroxicam (PRX) and succinic acid (SA), 2C₁₅H₁₃N₃O₄S·0.5C₄H₆O₄·C₂H₃N or PRX:SA:ACN (4:1:2), which adopts the triclinic space group P. The outcome of crystallization from ACN solution can be controlled by varying only the PRX:SA ratio, with a higher PRX:SA ratio in solution unexpectedly favouring a lower stoichiometric ratio in the solid product. In the new solvate, zwitterionic (Z) and non‐ionized (NI) PRX molecules co‐exist in the asymmetric unit. In contrast, the nonsolvated PRX–SA cocrystal contains only NI‐type PRX molecules. The ACN molecule entrapped in PRX–SA·ACN does not form any hydrogen bonds with the surrounding molecules. In the solvated cocrystal, Z‐type molecules form dimers linked by intermolecular N—H…O hydrogen bonds, whereas every pair of NI‐type molecules is linked to SA via N—H…O and O—H…N hydrogen bonds. Thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry suggest that thermal desolvation of the solvate sample occurs at 148 °C, and is followed by recrystallization, presumably of a multicomponent PRX–SA structure. Vibrational spectra (IR and Raman spectroscopy) of PRX–SA·ACN and PRX–SA are also used to demonstrate the ability of spectroscopic techniques to distinguish between NI‐ and Z‐type PRX molecules in the solid state. Hence, vibrational spectroscopy can be used to distinguish the PRX–SA cocrystal and its ACN solvate.     

Three closely related 1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐ones: pseudosymmetry,disorder and supramoleular assembly mediated by C—H…π and C—Br…π interactions

It has been observed that when electron‐rich naphthyl rings are present in chalcones they can participate in π–π stacking interactions, and this can play an important role in orientating inhibitors within the active sites of enzymes, while chalcones containing heterocyclic substituents additionally exhibit fungistatic and fungicidal properties. With these considerations in mind, three new chalcones containing 2‐naphthyl substituents were prepared. 3‐(4‐Fluorophenyl)‐1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one, C₁₉H₁₃FO, (I), crystallizes with Z ′ = 2 in the space group P and the four molecules in the unit cell adopt an arrangement which resembles that in the space group P 2₁/a . Although 3‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one, C₁₉H₁₃BrO, (II), with Z ′ = 1, is not isostructural with (I), the molecules of (I) and (II) adopt very similar conformations. In 1‐(naphthalen‐2‐yl)‐3‐(thiophen‐2‐yl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one, C₁₇H₁₂OS, (III), the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.780 (3) and 0.220 (3), which are related by a near 180° rotation of the thiophene unit about its exocyclic C—C bond. The molecules of compound (I) are linked by three independent C—H…π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form centrosymmetric octamolecular aggregates, whereas the molecules of compound (II) are linked into molecular ladders by a combination of C—H…π(arene) and C—Br…π(arene) interactions, and those of compound (III) are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by C—H…π(thiophene) interactions.     

New approaches for the synthesis of hindered C60‐containing polyphosphazenes via functionalized intermediates

Two new approaches were developed to synthesize C₆₀‐containing polyphosphazenes. Accordingly, two new reactive macromolecular intermediates ( P4 and P8 ) were obtained from poly(dichlorophosphazene) by the direct nucleophilic substitution reaction. In one approach, a predesigned amimo end–functionalized polyphosphazene ( P4 ) was prepared and then reacted with C₆₀ molecules in chlorobenzene to yield C₆₀‐containing polyphosphazene; in the other approach, a polyphosphazene containing 4‐methyl phenoxy groups as side chains was first prepared, and then part of the 4‐methyl groups were converted to azidomethyl groups (in P8 ), which reacted with C₆₀ to yield C₆₀‐containing polyphosphazene. The polymers were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, and UV–visible spectra and by gel permeation chromatography. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cocrystals of 1,4‐diethynylbenzene with 1,3‐diacetylbenzene and benzene‐1,4‐dicarbaldehyde exhibiting strong nonconventional alkyne–carbonyl C—H…O hydrogen bonds between the components

Weak interactions between organic molecules are important in solid‐state structures where the sum of the weaker interactions support the overall three‐dimensional crystal structure. The sp‐C—H…N hydrogen‐bonding interaction is strong enough to promote the deliberate cocrystallization of a series of diynes with a series of dipyridines. It is also possible that a similar series of cocrystals could be formed between molecules containing a terminal alkyne and molecules which contain carbonyl O atoms as the potential hydrogen‐bond acceptor. I now report the crystal structure of two cocrystals that support this hypothesis. The 1:1 cocrystal of 1,4‐diethynylbenzene with 1,3‐diacetylbenzene, C₁₀H₆·C₁₀H₁₀O₂, (1), and the 1:1 cocrystal of 1,4‐diethynylbenzene with benzene‐1,4‐dicarbaldehyde, C₁₀H₆·C₈H₆O₂, (2), are presented. In both cocrystals, a strong nonconventional ethynyl–carbonyl sp‐C—H…O hydrogen bond is observed between the components. In cocrystal (1), the C—H…O hydrogen‐bond angle is 171.8 (16)° and the H…O and C…O hydrogen‐bond distances are 2.200 (19) and 3.139 (2) Å, respectively. In cocrystal (2), the C—H…O hydrogen‐bond angle is 172.5 (16)° and the H…O and C…O hydrogen‐bond distances are 2.25 (2) and 3.203 (2) Å, respectively.     

Thermal stability of a star‐shaped poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene)

A star‐shaped poly(1,3‐cyclohexadiene) (PCHD) with a fullerene‐C₆₀ (C₆₀) core (C₆₀‐PCHD) was prepared to examine the thermal stability of the covalent bond between the C₆₀ and PCHD arm in the C₆₀‐PCHD. The covalent bond between the C₆₀ and PCHD arm formed by a 1,2‐cyclohexadiene (CHD) unit on the C₆₀ was stronger than that formed by a 1,4‐CHD unit. The double bond in the CHD unit adjoining the C₆₀ core was a key structure for the stability of that covalent bond. The hydrogenated C₆₀‐PCHD, which did not contain a double bond, possessed significantly higher thermal stability compared to C₆₀‐PCHD. The mechanism of elimination of PCHD arm molecules from the C₆₀ core was thought to proceed via a 1,5‐sigmatropic H‐shift. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystal and molecular structure of 9-exo-(4-nitrophenyl)thio-10endo-chlorotricyclo[6.3.1.02,7]dodeca-2(7),3,5-triene

Crystal and molecular structure of 9-exo-(4-nitrophenyl)thio-10-endo-chlorotricyclo[6.3.1.0^2,7]dodeca-2(7),3,5-triene (I) was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis: space group P2₁/c, a=9.514(1), b=13.457(1), c=13.163(2) Å, β=104.72(1)°, Z=4, R=0.041 (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λCuK_α, 2747 independent reflections with I≥3σ). The framework of molecule I consists of three condensed rings: the benzene ring, the cyclopentene ring having an envelope conformation with a flap at the bridging C atom, and the cyclohexane ring having a distorted chair conformation. The-SAr and Cl substituents have a trans-diaxial orientation at the cyclohexane ring. Molecule I is sterically hindered; it has appreciably reduced interatomic contacts: Cl…C₂, Cl…C₇, S…C₁₂, etc.     

Optical properties of (Z)‐2‐(2‐phenylhydrazinylidene)acenaphthen‐1(2H)‐one: a potential electron donor in organic solar cells

Electron‐donating molecules play an important role in the development of organic solar cells. (Z )‐2‐(2‐Phenylhydrazinylidene)acenaphthen‐1(2H )‐one (PDAK), C₁₈H₁₂N₂O, was synthesized by a Schiff base reaction. The crystal structure shows that the molecules are planar and are linked together forming `face‐to‐face' assemblies held together by intermolecular C—H…O, π–π and C—H…π interactions. PDAK exhibits a broadband UV–Vis absorption (200–648 nm) and a low HOMO–LUMO energy gap (1.91 eV; HOMO is the highest occupied molecular orbital and LUMO is the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital), while fluorescence quenching experiments provide evidence for electron transfer from the excited state of PDAK to C₆₀. This suggests that the title molecule may be a suitable donor for use in organic solar cells.     

Vibrational spectra of icosahedral (Ih and I) fullerenes

On the bases of the topological structures of the three big classes of icosahedral fullerenes: (1) C_n(I_h, n=60h²; h=1, 2,…), (2) C_n(I_h, n=20h²; h=1, 2,…), and (3) C_n(I, n=20(h²+hk+k²), h>k; h, k=1, 2,…), we derived formulas for the decomposition of their nuclear motions into irreducible representations. Hence, we obtained the infrared and Raman active modes for all of the icosahedral (I_h and I) fullerenes theoretically. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quant Chem 66 : 113–117, 1998     

Die Kristallstruktur des 1 : 1-Adduktes zwischen Antimontrichlorid und Diphenylammoniumchlorid,SbCl3 · (C6H5)2NH2+Cl−

The Crystal Structure of the 1:1 Addition Compound between Antimony Trichloride and Diphenylammonium Chloride, SbCl₃ · (C₆H₅)₂NH₂⁺Cl^? The 1:1 addition compound between antimony trichloride and diphenylammoniumchloride SbCl₃ · (C₆H₅)₂NH₂⁺Cl^? crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 5.668(8), b = 20.480(12), c = 14.448(17) Å, β = 110.4(1)° and Z = 4 formula units. Chains of SbCl₃ molecules and anion cation chains are bridged by Cl ions and form square tubes. The coordination of the Sb atoms by Cl atoms by Cl atoms and Cl ions is distorted octahedral. Mean distances are Sb? Cl = 2.37 Å for Sb? Cl (3×), 3.09 Å for Sb…Cl^? (2×) and 3.42 Å for Sb…Cl (1×). The Sb…Cl^? contacts and hydrogen bonds NH…Cl^? at 3.15 Å generate tetrahedral coordination of the Cl ions.

Supramolecular architectures in two 1:1 cocrystals of 5‐fluorouracil with 5‐bromothiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid and thiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid

In solid‐state engineering, cocrystallization is a strategy actively pursued for pharmaceuticals. Two 1:1 cocrystals of 5‐fluorouracil (5FU; systematic name: 5‐fluoro‐1,3‐dihydropyrimidine‐2,4‐dione), namely 5‐fluorouracil–5‐bromothiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid (1/1), C₅H₃BrO₂S·C₄H₃FN₂O₂, (I), and 5‐fluorouracil–thiophene‐2‐carboxylic acid (1/1), C₄H₃FN₂O₂·C₅H₄O₂S, (II), have been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. In both cocrystals, carboxylic acid molecules are linked through an acid–acid R ₂²(8) homosynthon (O—H…O) to form a carboxylic acid dimer and 5FU molecules are connected through two types of base pairs [homosynthon, R ₂²(8) motif] via a pair of N—H…O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structures are further stabilized by C—H…O interactions in (II) and C—Br…O interactions in (I). In both crystal structures, π–π stacking and C—F…π interactions are also observed.     

Synthesis of C60‐containing polyphosphazenes from a new reactive macromolecular intermediate: Polyphophazene azides

A novel synthetic strategy was developed to prepare polyphosphazenes containing C₆₀ moieties as side chains. Thus, a new reactive macromolecular intermediate, polyphosphazene azides ( P1 ), was obtained from poly(dichlorophosphazene) by the direct nucleophilic substitution reaction. Then the azide group in P1 reacted with C₆₀ molecules to afford the first example of C₆₀‐containing polyphosphazenes ( P2 and P3 ). The polymers are soluble in common organic solvents. Molecular structural characterization for the polymers was presented by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, ultraviolet–visible spectra, and gel permeation chromatography. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Ethene–propene copolymerization with the MgCl2-supported dichlorobis(4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl- 1,3-butanedionato)titanium catalyst activated by an ordinary trialkylaluminum

The Ti(BFA)₂Cl₂/MgCl₂–Al(C₂H₅)₃ catalyst (BFA = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione) modified by DIPDMS (diisopropyldimethoxysilane), which had been proved to yield an extremely high isotactic polypropene in high selectivity, was tested for the copolymerization of ethene with propene. The analysis of resulting copolymers by CFC (cross fractionation chromatography) indicated the formation of a small quantity of ethene-rich copolymers as a byproduct, suggesting that the catalyst possesses not only Ti(III) species but a small portion of Ti(II) species. Whereas, the same catalyst without being modified by an external donor selectively yielded propene-rich random copolymers resulting from Ti(III) species in high yields. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Struktur und thermischer Abbau von Bis (1,3-diketonato) cobalt-bisimidazolen

Structure and Thermal Degradation of Bis(1,3-diketonato)cobaltbisimidazoles The crystal structure of Co(bzac)₂(HIm)₂. 2MeOH ( I ) and Co(acac)₂(HIm)₂ ( II ) were determined by x-ray diffraction. II : triclinic, space group P1 , Z = 2, a = 746.3(1), b = 948.2(1), c = 1396.7(2)pm, α = 85.18(1)°, β = 88.96(1)°, γ = 80.72(1)°, R = 3.0% for a total of 2194 observed reflections. I : monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 2, a = 964.2(3), b = 864.5(2), c = 1769.8(4)pm, β = 98.87(2)°, R = 4.7% for a total of 967 observed reflections. In both compounds centrosymmetric molecules with two bidentate diketonato groups and two imidazole ligands in trans-position are present. The molecules of II are linked by N? H…?O-bridges within layers, while in the lattice of I by the interaction with methanol molecules N-H…?O-H…?O-bridges are formed. The nature of the H-bridges is the deciding factor for the first step of the thermal degradation of the complexes. The N-H…?O-bridges of II relieves the change of the acidic protons of the imidazole to the acetylacetonato ligands. Therefore in the first step acetylacetone is eliminated. No such bridges are present in the complex I . Therefore, in the first step, imidazole and methanol are removed. On heating in O-donor solvents the reaction of I is quite analogous, and this is the reason for the application of this complex as a latent initiator of the epoxide polymerisation.

Abstract

Water assisted supramolecular structures of 2-acetylamino-6-methylpyridine-1-oxide (1) and 1:1 complex of o-phenylenediamine with catechol (2) were determined. The crystal structure of 2-acetylamino-6-methylpyridine-1-oxide. H₂O (1), triclinic, a = 7.1276 (6), b = 7.8860 (6), c = 8.9938 (7) Å, α = 100. 143 (2), β = 91.493 (2), γ = 110.972 (1)°, V =462.47 (6) ų, Z = 2, D _calc = 1.323 mg.m^?3(293°K) reveals a novel centrosymmetric supramolecular assembly that is sustained by water molecules linking the dimers of pyridine-1-oxide through C—H…O, N—H…O, N⁺—O^? … H hydrogen bonds. The pyridine rings of the dimers are stacked at 3.473 Å apart, involving π- stacking interactions. Complex (2), C₆H₈N₂.—C₆ H₆O₂. 1/2H₂O crystallises in the monoclinic space group P2/c: a = 9.0498(2), b = 5.2275(1), c = 25.0771(2) A, β = 97.71°, V= 1175.62(4) ų, Z = 4. Refinement led to a final conventional R value of 0.041 for 2016 reflections. In these crystals (2), the water molecules lie on the twofold axis and they are linked to the pyrocatechol molecules through an O—H…O hydrogen bond.     

Crystal structure of pharmaceutical cocrystals of 2,6‐diaminopyridine with piracetam and theophylline

Pharmaceutical cocrystals are crystalline solids formed by an active pharmaceutical ingredient and a cocrystal former. The cocrystals 2,6‐diaminopyridine (DAP)–piracetam [PIR; systematic name: 2‐(2‐oxopyrrolidin‐1‐yl)acetamide] (1/1), C₅H₇N₃·C₆H₁₀N₂O₂, (I), and 2,6‐diaminopyridine–theophylline (TEO; systematic name: 1,3‐dimethyl‐7H‐purine‐2,6‐dione) (1/1), C₅H₇N₃·C₇H₈N₄O₂, (II), were prepared by the solvent‐assisted grinding method and were characterized by IR spectroscopy and powder X‐ray diffraction. Cocrystal (I) crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pbca and showed a 1:1 stoichiometry. The DAP and PIR molecules are linked by an N—H…O hydrogen‐bond interaction. Self‐assembly of PIR molecules forms a sheet of C (4) and C (7) chains. Cocrystal (II) crystallized in the monoclinic P 2₁/c space group and also showed a 1:1 stoichiometry. The DAP and TEO molecules are connected by N—H…N and N—H…O hydrogen bonds, forming an R ₂²(9) heterosynthon. A bidimensional supramolecular array is formed by interlinked DAP–TEO tetramers, producing a two‐dimensional sheet.     

Crystallographic study of self‐organization in the solid state including quasi‐aromatic pseudo‐ring stacking interactions in 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)thiourea and 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(2‐hydroxypropyl)thiourea

1‐Benzoylthioureas contain both carbonyl and thiocarbonyl functional groups and are of interest for their biological activity, metal coordination ability and involvement in hydrogen‐bond formation. Two novel 1‐benzoylthiourea derivatives, namely 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(3,4‐dimethoxyphenyl)thiourea, C₁₆H₁₆N₂O₃S, (I), and 1‐benzoyl‐3‐(2‐hydroxypropyl)thiourea, C₁₁H₁₄N₂O₂S, (II), have been synthesized and characterized. Compound (I) crystallizes in the space group P , while (II) crystallizes in the space group P 2₁/c . In both structures, intramolecular N—H…O hydrogen bonding is present. The resulting six‐membered pseudo‐rings are quasi‐aromatic and, in each case, interact with phenyl rings via stacking‐type interactions. C—H…O, C—H…S and C—H…π interactions are also present. In (I), there is one molecule in the asymmetric unit. Pairs of molecules are connected via two intermolecular N—H…S hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric dimers. In (II), there are two symmetry‐independent molecules that differ mainly in the relative orientations of the phenyl rings with respect to the thiourea cores. Additional strong hydrogen‐bond donor and acceptor –OH groups participate in the formation of intermolecular N—H…O and O—H…S hydrogen bonds that join molecules into chains extending in the [001] direction.     

2J(P,C) and 3J(P,C) Coupling Constants in Some New Phosphoramidates. Crystal Structures of CF3C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)]2 and 4‐NO2‐C6H4N(H)P(O)[4‐CH3‐NC5H9]2

Some new phosphoramidates were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of CF₃C(O)N(H)P(O)[N(CH₃)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂ ( 1 ) and 4‐NO₂‐C₆H₄N(H)P(O)[4‐CH₃‐NC₅H₉]₂ ( 6 ) were confirmed by X‐ray single crystal determination. Compound 1 forms a centrosymmetric dimer and compound 6 forms a polymeric zigzag chain, both via ‐N‐H…O=P‐ intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Also, weak C‐H…F and C‐H…O hydrogen bonds were observed in compounds 1 and 6 , respectively. ¹³C NMR spectra were used for study of ²J(P,C) and ³J(P,C) coupling constants that were showed in the molecules containing N(C₂H₅)₂ and N(C₂H₅)(CH₂C₆H₅) moieties, ²J(P,C)>³J(P,C). A contrast result was obtained for the compounds involving a five‐membered ring aliphatic amine group, NC₄H₈. ²J(P,C) for N(C₂H₅)₂ moiety and in NC₄H₈ are nearly the same, but ³J(P, C) values are larger than those in molecules with a pyrrolidinyl ring. This comparison was done for compounds with six and seven‐membered ring amine groups. In compounds with formula XP(O)[N(CH₂R)(CH₂C₆H₅)]₂, ²J(P,CH₂)_benzylic>²J(P,CH₂)_aliphatic, in an agreement with our previous study.     

Mechanochemical synthesis and X‐ray structural characterization of three 3‐nitrophenol cocrystals with three aminal cage azaadamantanes: the role of the stereoelectronic effect on intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding patterns

The structures of the cocrystalline adducts of 3‐nitrophenol (3‐NP) with 1,3,5,7‐tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]decane [HMTA, ( 1 )] as the 2:1:1 hydrate, 2C₆H₅NO₃·C₆H₁₂N₄·H₂O, ( 1a ), with 1,3,6,8‐tetraazatricyclo[4.3.1.1^3,8]undecane [TATU ( 2 )] as the 2:1 cocrystal, 2C₆H₅NO₃·C₇H₁₄N₄, ( 2a ), and with 1,3,6,8‐tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.1^3,8]dodecane [TATD, ( 3 )] as the 2:1 cocrystal, 2C₆H₅NO₃·C₈H₁₆N₄, ( 3a ), are reported. In the binary crystals ( 2a ) and ( 3a ), the 3‐nitrophenol molecules are linked via O—H…N hydrogen bonds into aminal cage azaadamantanes. In ( 1a ), the structure is stabilized by O—H…N and O—H…O hydrogen bonds, and generates ternary cocrystals. There are C—H…O hydrogen bonds present in all three cocrystals, and in ( 1a ), there are also C—H…O and C—H…π interactions present. The presence of an ethylene bridge in the structures of ( 2 ) and ( 3 ) defines the formation of a hydrogen‐bonded motif in the supramolecular architectures of ( 2a ) and ( 3a ). The differences in the C—N bond lengths of the aminal cage structures, as a result of hyperconjugative interactions and electron delocalization, were analysed. These three cocrystals were obtained by the solvent‐free assisted grinding method. Crystals suitable for single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction were grown by slow evaporation from a mixture of hexanes.     

Zweidimensionale Polymere mit hydrophober Umhüllung: Kristallstrukturen der isostrukturellen Metallkomplexe [M{C6H4(SO2)2N}(H2O)] (M = K,Rb) und des strukturverwandten Ammoniumsalzes [(NH4){C6H4(SO2)2N}(H2O)]

Metal Salts of Benzene‐1,2‐di(sulfonyl)amine. 4. Hydrophobically Wrapped Two‐Dimensional Polymers: Crystal Structures of the Isostructural Metal Complexes [M{C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N}(H₂O)] (M = K, Rb) and of the Structurally Related Ammonium Salt [(NH₄){C₆H₄(SO₂)₂N}(H₂O)] The previously unreported compounds KZ · H₂O ( 1 ), RbZ · H₂O ( 2 ) and NH₄Z · H₂O ( 3 ), where Z^– is Ndeprotonated ortho‐benzenedisulfonimide, are examples of layered inorgano‐organic solids, in which the inorganic component is comprised of metal or ammonium cations, N(SO₂)₂ groups and water molecules and the outer regions are formed by the planar benzo rings of the anions. The metal complexes 1 and 2 were found to be strictly isostructural, whereas 3 is structurally related to them by a non‐crystallographic mirror plane ( 1 – 3 : monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, Z = 4; single crystal X‐ray diffraction at low temperatures). In each structure, the five‐membered 1,3,2‐dithiazolide heterocycle possesses an envelope conformation, the N atom lying about 40 pm outside the mean plane of the S–C–C–S moiety. The metal complexes feature two‐dimensional coordination networks interwoven with O–H…O hydrogen bonds originating from the water molecules. The metal centres adopt an irregular nonacoordination formed by five sulfonyl O atoms, two N atoms and two μ₂‐bridging water molecules; each M⁺ is connected to four different anions. When NH₄⁺ is substituted for M⁺, the metal–ligand bonds are replaced by N⁺–H…O hydrogen bonds, but the general topology of the lamella is not affected. In the three structures, the lipophilic benzo groups protrude obliquely from the surfaces of the polar lamellae and display marked interlocking between adjacent layers.
