Abstract  

The eight-membered {···HOC=O}₂ synthon featured in the crystal structure of 2-amino-4-nitrobenzoic acid (1) is replaced by carboxylic acid···N-pyridine hydrogen bonds in its cocrystals with 2,2′-bipyridine (2/1; 2) and bis(pyridin-2-yl)ketone (1/1; 3) indicating the robust nature of the latter synthon. Disruption of the three-dimensional architecture based on O–H···O and N–H···O(nitro) hydrogen bonds in (1) is evident in the cocrystals which form supramolecular tubes (2) and chains (3) based on O–H···N and N–H···O hydrogen bonding.

Hydrogen-Bonded Molecular Ladders and Interlaced Networks in Complexes Built of V-Shaped Molecules 4,4′-Isopropylidenediphenol or 4,4′-Oxydibenzoic Acid with 4,4′-Bipyridine

Abstract  

The title compounds, C₁₀H₈N₂·C₁₅H₁₆O₂ (1) and C₁₀H₈N₂·C₁₄H₁₀O₅ (2), were synthesized by 4,4′-bipyridyl and two similar V-shaped molecules. The two complexes both crystallized in the same space group P2₁/n with the crystal cell parameters: a = 16.0536(3) ?, b = 6.42730(1) ?, c = 21.2717(4) ?, β = 102.330°, V = 2144.21(7) ?³, Z = 4 in compound 1 and a = 7.45020(10) ?, b = 10.0784(2) ?, c = 26.9430(5) ?, β = 92.1140(10)°, V = 2021.67(6) ?³, Z = 4 in compound 2. Compound 1 forms regular molecular chains containing alternative 4,4′-bipyridyl and 4,4′-isopropylidenediphenol units; the molecular components are linked by two types of O–H···N hydrogen bonds. Additionally, every two neighboring chains are connected to be a ladder structure by means of weak C–H···O interactions. In compound 2, 4,4′-bipyridyl and 4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid first construct one-dimensional architecture by strong O–H···N hydrogen bonds, which are similar with the interactions in compound 1. Secondly, two types of weak C–H···O contacts formed between 4,4′-bipyridyl and the acid link one-dimensional chains to be interlaced three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks.

The molecule in 4-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazole (I) is disposed about a mirror plane with the triazole ring lying in the plane and being orthogonal to the cyclopropyl ring. Considerable delocalization of π-electron density within the triazole ring is indicated by the pattern of bond distances in (I).

By contrast to (I), localization of π-electron density within the triazole ring in (II) is indicated. Both (I), via N–H···N hydrogen bonding, and (II), via C–H···O and C–H···N interactions, associate in the solid state to form supramolecular chains. In (I), the chain is a zigzag with a flat topology, whereas in (II) the linear chain has a curved topology.

Single Crystal XRD Structure Determination and Analysis of Bis(2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline-κ2N,N′)(Sulfato-κ2O,O′)Nickel(II), Hydrate (NiNeo2SO4·H2O; Neo: 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline)

Abstract  

The title compound is monomeric with a Ni(II) hexacoordinated center. The coordination sphere is formed with four nitrogens from two neocuproine molecules and two oxygens from a sulfate ion that acts as a bidentate ligand. A water molecule completes the formula with an important role in the stabilization of the structure through the formation of O_W–H···O_S bridges, in which it acts as a donor and interactions of the type C_ar–H···O_W and C_Met–H···O_W, where it is an acceptor group (W: water; S: sulfate; ar: arene; Met: methyl). The compound is monoclinic, space group P2₁ /c with a = 14.4829(4) ?, b = 14.4563(4) ?, c = 12.1559(3) ?, β = 94.407(1)°, V = 2,537.55(12) ?³ and Z = 4. The structure was solved by direct methods with a conventional R (on F) = 0.0359 for 4841 reflexions with Fo > 4σ(Fo). Three levels of super-structural hierarchy can be identified in the crystal construction: (1) the primary structure corresponding to the molecular skeletons of their building blocks, the isolated complex itself and the water molecule, (2) an 1D supramolecular array that form chains through a non-covalent polymerization via interactions O_W–H···O_S, C_ar–H···O_W, C_ar–H···O_S and C_Met–H···O_W and (3) finally the 3D macroscopic conglomerate formed through inter-chains interactions C_ar–H···O_W, C_ar–H···O_S, C_Met–H···ar and offset stacked arene–arene.     

Dihydrogen Phosphate and Hydrogen Sulphate of 1,4-Dimethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium: Crystal Structures, Hydrogen Bonding and Infrared Spectra

Abstract  

The crystal structures of the title compounds consist of 1,4-dimethyl-1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane-1,4-diium cation [C₈H₁₈N₂]²⁺ and [H₂PO₄]⁻ or [HSO₄]⁻ anions. Both crystal structures are monoclinic, the structure of the dihydrogen phosphate (I) is non-centrosymmetric (P2₁) with a = 6.4090(2) ?, b = 13.6920(5) ?, c = 7.6140(3) ?, β = 94.620(2)°, V = 665.97(4) ?³, Z = 2; whereas the unit cell of the hydrogen sulphate (II) is centrosymmetric (P2₁/c) with a = 13.8460(2) ?, b = 12.6610(2) ?, c = 8.0360(2) ?, β = 99.5800(12)°, V = 1389.10(5) ?³, Z = 4. Both the structures are formed by the different bonding patterns of the anions interlinked by strong and moderate O–H···O hydrogen bonds. While the structure of (I) consists of a two-dimensional network of the hydrogen bonded dihydrogen phosphates, the infinite chains of the hydrogen bonded hydrogen sulphates are the basic building unit of the structure (II). In addition to the dominant electrostatic interaction the divalent cations stabilize themselves in the structures by forming several C–H···O hydrogen bonds to the oxygen atoms of the anions. The IR spectra of both the compounds are strongly affected by the hydrogen bonds whose influence on OH stretching vibrations is analysed by means of the DFT calculations in the solid state.

It crystallizes in the Orthorhombic space group Pna2(1), with a = 17.8160(5), b = 18.9125(7), c = 14.7926(4), α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°and Dc = 1.379 mg/m³ for Z = 8, V = 4984.3(3) ?, μ(Mo–Kα) = 0.372 mm, λ = 0.71070 ?, the final R = 0.0527 and wR = 0.1307 for 43309 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). The structure is stabilized by weak C–H···N intramolecular hydrogen bonds and C–H···Cg p-ring intermolecular interactions and gives support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell.     

Two-Dimensional Layers Using Different Combinations of Hydrogen Bonded Rings in Three Ammonium Carboxylate Salts

Abstract  

The crystal structure of the ammonium carboxylate salts (cyclohexylammonium)₂·(terephthalate) (1), (cyclohexylammonium)₂·(trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (2) and (cyclododecylammonium)₂·(trans-1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate) (3) were determined by low temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecular salts were prepared by solution crystallization of the carboxylic acids with the respective amines in a 1:2 stoichiometric ratio. The crystal structure of 1 belongs to the monoclinic space group Cc with a = 11.5643(7) ?, b = 22.8180(13) ?, c = 8.4163(5) ? and β = 117.020(2)°. The crystal structure of 2 belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 16.9546(10) ?, b = 6.4352(4) ?, c = 19.3948(12) ? and β = 94.677(4)°. The crystal structure of 3 belongs to the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 8.1714(5) ?, b = 34.3887(17) ?, c = 11.0230(6) ? and β = 95.790(4)°. The changes in cation and anion species produces three distinct types of layers, with corresponding changes in the hydrogen bonded ring patterns linking the ionic species together using charge-assisted N⁺–H···O⁻ hydrogen bonds.
