Hydro­gen‐bonding patterns in cis‐4‐ammonio­cyclo­hexane­carboxyl­ate hemihydrate

In the title compound, C₇H₁₃NO₂·0.5H₂O, cis‐4‐amino­cyclo­hexane­carboxylic acid exists as a zwitterion and co‐crystallizes with water mol­ecules in a 2:1 amino acid–water ratio. The cyclo­hexane ring adopts a chair conformation, with the carboxyl­ate and ammonium groups in axial and equatorial positions, respectively. The basic motif in the crystal structure is a sandwich structure, formed by two amino acid units linked by head‐to‐tail hydrogen bonds. Hydro­gen bonds of the type N⁺—H⋯O—C—O⁻ link these motifs, forming helicoidally extended chains running along the c axis. The water molecule lies on a twofold axis and interacts with the chains by means of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

2‐{[Tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl]aminomethylene}cyclohexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one and its 6‐hydroxy and 6‐methoxy derivatives

The title compounds, 2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₅NO₄, (I), 6‐hydroxy‐2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}­cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₅NO₅, (II), and 6‐methoxy‐2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}­cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₂H₁₇NO₅, (III), adopt the keto–amine tautomeric form, with the formal hydroxy H atom located on the N atom, and the NH group and oxo O atom display a strong intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded rings are almost planar and coupled with the cyclo­hexa­diene rings. The carbonyl O atoms accept two other H atoms from the alcohol groups of adjacent mol­ecules in (I), and one from the alcohol and one from the phenol group in (II), but from only one alcohol H atom in (III).     

The 1:1 adduct of Kemp's triacid with 2‐aminopyridine

The crystal structure determination of the molecular proton‐transfer adduct of Kemp's triacid (cis‐cis‐1,3,5‐tri­methyl­cyclo­hexane‐1,3,5‐tri­carboxylic acid, KTA) with 2‐amino­pyridine (2‐APY), namely 2‐amino­pyridinium 3,5‐di­carboxy‐1,3,5‐tri­methyl­cyclo­hexane­carboxyl­ate, 2‐APY⁺·KTA^? or C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₁₂H₁₇O₆^?, has revealed a centrosymmetric hydrogen‐bonded cyclic KTA homodimer repeating unit [O?O 2.524 (4) Å] linked into a polymer structure through the pyridinium and amino groups of the 2‐APY mol­ecule [O?N 2.736 (4), 2.989 (4) and 2.999 (4) Å].     

(1S*,2S*,4S*,5S*)‐Cyclo­hexa­ne‐1,2,4,5‐tetrol monohydrate

In the title compound, C₆H₁₂O₄·H₂O, 1,4/2,5‐cyclo­hexane­tetrol and water mol­ecules are seen to possess twofold symmetry. All four hydrox­yl groups of the tetrol participate in extensive inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding to form mol­ecular tapes propagating along the a axis. Translationally related tapes along the c axis are held together by four coordinated water mol­ecules.     

Hierarchy of hydrogen bonding in bis­(1,4,7‐trioxa‐10‐azoniacyclo­dodecane) bis­(4‐amino­benzoate) trihydrate

In the title compound, 2C₈H₁₈NO₃⁺·2C₇H₆NO₂⁻·3H₂O, proton transfer occurs from the carboxylic acid group of the 4‐amino­benzoic acid (PABA) mol­ecule to the amine group of the macrocycle, resulting in the formation of a salt‐like adduct. The anions are combined into helical chains which are further bound by the water mol­ecules into sheets. The macrocyclic cations are situated between these layers and are bound to the anions both directly and via bridging water mol­ecules. The structure exhibits a diverse system of hydrogen bonding.     

Dimorphism in 3′‐amino­cyclo­hexane­spiro‐5′‐hydantoin

The title compound [systematic name: 1′‐amino­cyclo­hexane­spiro‐4′‐imidazole‐2′,5′(3′H,4′H)‐dione], C₈H₁₃N₃O₂, has been synthesized and was found to crystallize in two different structures, both monoclinic and both with the same P2₁/c space group. In the first structure, there are two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which uses all of its hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors and forms undulating layers, while the other forms chains propagating perpendicular to the layers. In the second structure, there is only one independent mol­ecule and the packing is based on a chain structure mediated by hydrogen bonding between the hydantoin moieties and further grouped into hydro­philic layers separated by layers of the hydro­phobic cyclo­hex­yl groups.     

Melaminium acetate acetic acid solvate monohydrate

The crystals of the title new melaminium salt, 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium acetate acetic acid solvate monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·CH₃COO^?·CH₃COOH·H₂O, are built up from singly protonated melaminium residues, acetate anions, and acetic acid and water mol­ecules. The melaminium residues are interconnected by N—H?N hydrogen bonds to form chains along the [010] direction. These chains of melaminium residues form stacks aligned along the a axis. The acetic acid mol­ecules interact with the acetate anions via the H atom of their carboxylic acid groups and, together with the water mol­ecules, form layers that are parallel to the (001) plane. The oppositely charged moieties interact via multiple N—H?O hydrogen bonds that stabilize a pseudo‐two‐dimensional stacking structure.     

The 1:1 adduct of hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine (HMT) with racemic trans‐1,2‐cyclo­hexane­di­carboxylic acid (CDA)

Hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine and rac‐trans‐1,2‐cyclo­hexane­di­carboxylic acid crystallize in a 1:1 ratio as a neutral molecular adduct, C₆H₁₂N₄·C₈H₁₂O₄. Two di­carboxylic acid mol­ecules and two tetr­amine mol­ecules form a hydrogen‐bonded ring, in the shape of a rhombus, which lies on a crystallographic twofold axis bisecting the two diacid mol­ecules. The O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds have lengths 2.6808 (19) and 2.6518 (19) Å, and, in each ring, both acid mol­ecules have the same handedness.     

The gossypol–cyclo­dodecanone (1/2) inclusion complex

Gossypol and cyclo­dodecanone crystallize at room temperature as an inclusion complex in a 1:2 molar ratio. This complex, viz. 1,1′,6,6′,7,7′‐hexa­hydroxy‐5,5′‐diiso­pro­pyl‐3,3′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bi­naphthalene‐8,8′‐di­carbox­aldehyde–cyclo­do­deca­none (1/2), C₃₀H₃₀O₈·2C₁₂H₂₂O, is unusual in that there is limited intermolecular hydrogen bonding within the structure. Each cyclo­dodecanone mol­ecule accepts a hydrogen bond from a gossypol mol­ecule, but there are no gossypol‐to‐gossypol hydrogen‐bond interactions. The gossypol mol­ecules form a framework structure enclosing channels, and the cyclo­dodecanone mol­ecules lie in these channels. In terms of the number of non‐H guest atoms, this is the largest gossypol inclusion complex reported to date.     

mer‐(4‐Amino­benzene­sulfonato‐κN)tri­aqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)cobalt(II) chloride

Both coordination and hydrogen bonds contribute to networking in the supramolecular title compound, [Co(C₆H₆­NO₃S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]Cl, which contains a discrete [Co(C₆H₆NO₃S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₃]⁺ complex cation, formed by one 4‐amino­benzene­sulfonate ligand, one 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand and three coordinated water mol­ecules, together with one uncoordinated chloride anion. These discrete cations and chloride anions are connected by hydrogen‐bonding interactions into a two‐dimensional supramolecular motif. Further hydrogen‐bonding interactions consolidate the structural architecture and extend the two‐dimensional supramol­ecular structure into a three‐dimensional network.     

The hydrogen‐bonded adduct 7,16‐diazonia‐18‐crown‐6–4‐aminobenzenesulfonate–water (1/2/2)

In the title hydrated adduct, 1,4,10,13‐tetraoxa‐7,16‐diazo­nia­cyclo­octa­decane bis(4‐amino­benzene­sulfonate) dihydrate, C₁₂H₂₈N₂O₄²⁺·2C₆H₆NO₃S⁻·2H₂O, formed between 7,16‐di­aza‐18‐crown‐6 and the dihydrate of 4‐amino­benzene­sulfonic acid, the macrocyclic cations lie across centres of inversion in the orthorhombic space group Pbca. The anions alone form zigzag chains, and the cations and anions together form sheets that are linked via water mol­ecules and anions to form a three‐dimensional grid.     

Self‐assembled hydrogen‐bonded bilayers in 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane–N‐(phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid–water (1/1/1.5)

The title compound is a hydrated salt, 1,4‐diazo­nia­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane–N‐[(hydroxy­phosphinato)­methyl]­iminiodi­acetate–water (1/1/1.5), C₆H₁₄N₂²⁺·C₅H₈NO₇P^2?·1.5H₂O, in which one of the water mol­ecules lies across a twofold rotation axis in space group P2/n. The ionic components are linked into sheets by a combination of a three‐centre N—H?(O)₂ hydrogen bond and two‐centre O—H?O and N—H?O hydrogen bonds, and these sheets are pairwise linked by the water mol­ecules into bilayers, by means of further O—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

(+)‐Camphor­acetic acid: catemeric hydrogen bonding in a γ‐keto acid

The title compound, (1R)‐4,7,7‐tri­methyl‐3‐oxobi­cyclo­[2.2.1]­heptane‐2‐endo‐acetic acid, C₁₂H₁₈O₃, like its lower homolog, forms carboxyl‐to‐ketone hydrogen‐bonding catemers (Z′ = 2) [O⋯O = 2.729 (5) and 2.707 (5) Å, and O—H⋯O = 165 and 170°] with screw‐related components. The two mol­ecules of the asymmetric unit differ slightly in conformation and produce two counter‐aligned hydrogen‐bonding chains, both aligned with the b axis. Close intermolecular C—H⋯O=C contacts exist for the ketone group of one mol­ecule and for both the ketone and carboxyl functions in the other.     

Asperuloside monohydrate

The title compound, [2aS‐(2aα,4aα,5α,7bα)]‐5‐(β‐d ‐gluco­pyran­osyl­oxy)‐2a,4a,5,7b‐tetra­hydro‐1‐oxo‐1H‐2,6‐dioxa­cyclo­pent­[cd]­inden‐4‐yl­methyl acetate monohydrate, C₁₈H₂₂O₁₁·H₂O, was extracted from the Turkish plant Putoria calabrica (L. fil.) DC. The three fused rings have envelope or distorted envelope conformations and form a bowl in which ring strain causes distortion of some bond angles and significant pyramidalization of two of the Csp² atoms. The ring junction H atoms are all cis to one another and the glycosidic linkage is in the β axial position. The structure incorporates two symmetry‐independent water mol­ecules, each of which is located on a twofold axis. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving all the hydroxy groups and water mol­ecules link the mol­ecules into a complex three‐dimensional framework.     

Hydro­gen bonding in proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases

The crystal structures of quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate trihydrate, C₉H₈N⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·3H₂O, (I), 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (II), 8‐amino­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate dihydrate, C₉H₉N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·2H₂O, (III), and 2‐carboxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate quinolinium‐2‐carboxylate, C₁₀H₈NO₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·C₁₀H₇NO₂, (IV), four proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases, reveal in each the presence of variously hydrogen‐bonded polymers. In only one of these compounds, viz. (II), is the protonated quinolinium group involved in a direct primary N⁺—H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen‐bonding interaction, while in the other hydrates, viz. (I) and (III), the water mol­ecules participate in the primary intermediate interaction. The quinaldic acid (quinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid) adduct, (IV), exhibits cation–cation and anion–adduct hydrogen bonding but no direct formal heteromolecular interaction other than a number of weak cation–anion and cation–adduct π–π stacking associations. In all other compounds, secondary interactions give rise to network polymer structures.     

7‐Carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate at 100 K

Both 7‐carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate, C₁₁H₉NO₃·H₂O, (I), and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate, C₁₁H₁₀NO₃⁺·Cl⁻·H₂O, (II), crystallize in the centrosymmetric P space group. Both compounds display an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the hydroxy group; this hydrogen bond is stronger in (I) due to its zwitterionic character [O⋯O = 2.4449 (11) Å in (I) and 2.5881 (12) Å in (II)]. In both crystal structures, the HN⁺ group participates in the stabilization of the structure via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water mol­ecules [N⋯O = 2.7450 (12) Å in (I) and 2.8025 (14) Å in (II)]. In compound (II), a hydrogen‐bond network connects the Cl⁻ anion to the carboxylic acid group [Cl⋯O = 2.9641 (11) Å] and to two water mol­ecules [Cl⋯O = 3.1485 (10) and 3.2744 (10) Å].     

A zinc–lithium complex of 4,7‐bis(2‐aminoethyl)‐1,4,7‐triazacyclononane‐1‐acetate

The asymmetric unit of {[4,7‐bis(2‐amino­ethyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonan‐1‐yl]acetato}zinc(II) triaqua{μ‐[4,7‐bis(2‐amino­ethyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonan‐1‐yl]acetato}lithium(I)zinc(II) chloride diperchlorate, [Zn(C₁₂H₂₆N₅O₂)][LiZn(C₁₂H₂₆N₅O₂)(H₂O)₃]Cl(ClO₄)₂, obtained from the reaction between the lithium salt of 4,7‐bis(2‐amino­ethyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonane‐1‐acetate and Zn(ClO₄)₂, contains two Zn^II complexes in which each Zn^II ion is six‐coordinated by five N‐atom donors and one O‐­atom donor from the ligand. One carboxyl­ate O‐atom donor is not involved in coordination to a Zn^II atom, but coordinates to an Li⁺ ion, the tetrahedral geometry of Li⁺ being completed by three water mol­ecules. The two complexes are linked via a hydrogen bond between a primary amine N—H group and the carboxyl­ate‐O atom not involved in coordination to a metal.     

Melaminium glutarate monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title new melaminium salt, 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium glutarate monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₅H₇­O₄^?·H₂O, is built up from singly protonated melaminium residues, mono‐dissociated glutarate ions and water mol­ecules. The melaminium residues are interconnected by four N—H?N hydrogen bonds to form chains. These chains of melaminium residues form a stacking structure. The glutarate anions form a hydrogen‐bonded zigzag polymer of the form [?HOOC(CH₂)₃COO?HOOC(CH₂)₃COO?]_n. The oppositely charged moieties, i.e. the melaminium and glutarate chains, form two‐dimensional polymeric sheets. These sheets are interconnected by O—H?O hydrogen bonds between the COO^? moieties and the water mol­ecules, and these hydrogen bonds stabilize the stacking structure.     

()‐3‐Oxo­cyclo­hexane­carboxyl­ic and ‐acetic acids: contrasting hydrogen‐bonding patterns in two homologous keto acids

The crystal structures for the title compounds reveal fundamentally different hydrogen‐bonding patterns. ()‐3‐Oxo­cyclo­hexanecarboxylic acid, C₇H₁₀O₃, displays acid‐to‐ketone catemers having a glide relationship for successive components of the hydrogen‐bonding chains which advance simultaneously by two cells in a and one in c [O?O = 2.683 (3) Å and O—H?O = 166°]. A pair of intermolecular close contacts exists involving the acid carbonyl group. The asymmetric unit in ()‐3‐oxo­cyclo­hexane­acetic acid, C₈H₁₂O₃, utilizes only one of two available isoenthalpic conformers and its aggregation involves mutual hydrogen bonding by centrosymmetric carboxyl dimerization [O?O = 2.648 (3) Å and O—H?O = 171°]. Intermolecular close contacts exist for both the ketone and the acid carbonyl group.     

Sodium di­hydrogen tris­(cyclo­propane­carboxyl­ate)

The title acid salt, Na⁺·C₄H₅O₂^?·2C₄H₆O₂, contains finite anions in which two cyclo­propanoic acid mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded to a cyclo­propanoate residue. Each such anion interacts with four different Na⁺ cations.
