Crystal structure and hydrogen bonding in the hydrated cocrystalline salt tryptaminium–3,5‐dinitrobenzoate–quinoline–water (3/3/2/2)

The study of ternary systems is interesting because it introduces the concept of molecular preference/competition into the system where one molecule may be displaced because the association between the other two is significantly stronger. Current definitions of a tertiary system indicate that solvent molecules are excluded from the molecule count of the system and some of the latest definitions state that any molecule that is not a solid in the parent form at room temperature should also be excluded from the molecule count. In the structure of the quinoline adduct hydrate of tryptaminium 3,5‐dinitrobenzoate, 3C₁₀H₁₃N₂⁺·3C₇H₃N₂O₆⁻·2C₉H₇N·2H₂O, the asymmetric unit comprises multiple cation and anion species which are conformationally similar among each type set. In the crystal, a one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular structure is generated through extensive intra‐ and inter‐unit aminium N—H…O and N—H…N, and water O—H…O hydrogen bonds. Within the central‐core hydrogen‐bonding associations, conjoined cyclic R₄⁴(10), R₅³(10) and R₄⁴(12) motifs are generated. The unit is expanded into a one‐dimensional column‐like polymer extending along [010]. Present also in the crystal packing of the structure are a total of 19 π–π interactions involving both cation, anion and quinoline species [ring‐centroid separation range = 3.395 (3)–3.797 (3) Å], as well as a number of weak C—H…O hydrogen‐bonding associations. The presence of the two water molecules in the crystal structure is considered to be the principal causative factor in the low symmetry of the asymmetric unit.     

Magnesium iodide–4,4′‐bipyridine–water (1/3/4) and strontium iodide–4,4′‐bipyridine–propan‐1‐ol (1/2.5/2)

Both of the title compounds, catena‐poly­[[[tetra­aqua­magnesium(I)]‐μ‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐κ²N:N′] diiodide bis(4,4′‐bi­pyridine) solvate], {[Mg(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄]I₂·2C₁₀H₈N₂}_n, (I), and catena‐poly­[[[μ‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐bis­[di­iodo­bis­(propan‐1‐ol)­strontium(I)]]‐di‐μ‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐κ⁴N:N′] bis(4,4′‐bi­pyri­dine) solvate], {[Sr₂I₄(C₁₀H₈N₂)₃(C₃H₈O)₄]·2C₁₀H₈N₂}_n, (II), are one‐dimensional polymers which are single‐ and double‐stranded, respectively, the metal atoms being linked by the 4,4′‐bi­pyridine moieties. The Mg complex, (I), is [cis‐{(H₂O)₄Mg(N‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐N′)_(2/2)}]_(∞|∞)I₂·4,4′‐bi­pyridine and Mg has a six‐coordinate quasi‐octahedral coordination environment. The Sr complex, (II), is isomorphous with its previously defined Ba counterpart [Kepert, Waters & White (1996). Aust. J. Chem. 49 , 117–135], being [(propan‐1‐ol)₂I₂Sr(N‐4,4′‐bi­pyridine‐N′)_(3/2)]_(∞|∞)·4,4′‐bi­pyridine, with the I atoms trans‐axial in a seven‐coordinate pentagonal–bipyramidal Sr environment.

Benzene‐1,4‐diboronic acid–4,4′‐bipyridine–water (1/2/2)

In the presence of water, benzene‐1,4‐diboronic acid (1,4‐bdba) and 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bpy) form a cocrystal of composition (1,4‐bdba)(4,4′‐bpy)₂(H₂O)₂, in which the molecular components are organized in two, so far unknown, cyclophane‐type hydrogen‐bonding patterns. The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₆H₈B₂O₄·2C₁₀H₈N₂·2H₂O, contains two 4,4′‐bpy, two water molecules and two halves of 1,4‐bdba molecules arranged around crystallographic inversion centers. The occurrence of O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds involving the water molecules and all O atoms of boronic acid gives rise to a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded layer structure that develops parallel to the (01) plane. This supramolecular organization is reinforced by π–π interactions between symmetry‐related 4,4′‐bpy molecules.
