Sodium 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

The title compound, Na⁺·C₉H₇N₄O₅S⁻·2H₂O, presents a Z configuration around the imine C=N bond and an E configuration around the C(O)NH₂ group, stabilized by two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The packing is governed by ionic inter­actions between the Na⁺ cation and the surrounding O atoms. The ionic unit, Na⁺ and 2‐oxo‐3‐semicarbazono‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indole‐5‐sulfonate, forms layers extending in the bc plane. The layers are connected by hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecules.     

Oxonium 5‐amino­uracil‐6‐sulfonate hydrate

In the title compound, oxonium 5‐amino‐2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐4‐sulfonate hydrate, H₃O⁺·­C₄H₄­N₃­O₅S^?·­H₂O, the sulfonate group is in the anionic form and charge balance is provided by an o­xonium cation, H₃O⁺. Screw‐related mol­ecules overlap significantly and are hydrogen bonded to form a zigzag chain of the uracil skeleton along the direction of the c screw axis. The partially stacked bases and their glide‐related equivalents run parallel to the a axis to form hydro­phobic zones separated by hydro­philic zones built up by a network of hydrogen bonds.

In methyl­aminium 4′,7‐dihydroxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate dihydrate, CH₆N⁺·C₁₅H₉O₇S⁻·2H₂O, 11 hydrogen bonds exist between the methyl­aminium cations, the iso­flavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. In hexa­aqua­iron(II) bis­(4′,7‐diethoxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate) tetra­hydrate, [Fe(H₂O)₆](C₁₉H₁₇O₇S)₂·4H₂O, 12 hydrogen bonds exist between the centrosymmetric [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cation, the isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. Additional π–π stacking inter­actions generate three‐dimensional supramolecular structures in both compounds.     

New girdle‐like Mo18 polyanions linked into chains

From the reduction of heptamolybdate, a polyoxomolybdate was obtained with the formula [Na(H₂O)₁₆(NH₂CH₂­COO)]⁴⁺·{Na⁺[H₉MoMoO₅₆(NH₂CH₂COO)]^5?}^4?­·20H₂O, i.e. hepta­sodium nona­hydrogen tetra­car­bam­ate hexa­deca­aqua­hexa­penta­conta­oxa­octa­deca­molyb­date(V,VI) icosa­hydrate. The 18 Mo atoms are connected by bridging O atoms to form a centrosymmetric girdle‐like structure, in which Mo^V–Mo^V units are found. An Na⁺ cation occupies the central hole of the girdle, while four Na⁺ cations are bonded to the O atoms on the girdle edge. The girdles are linked into a one‐dimensional chain by the other Na⁺ cations.     

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.     

Two bis­(ammonium) 1,5‐naphthalene­disulfonate salts

The title compounds, bis­(ammonium) naphthalene‐1,5‐di­sul­fon­ate, 2NH₄⁺·C₁₀H₆O₆S₂²⁻, and bis­[1‐(hydroxy­methyl)‐3,5,7‐tri­aza‐1‐azoniatri­cyclo­[3.3.1.1^3,7]­decane] 1,5‐naphthalene­di­sul­fon­ate, 2C₇H₁₅N₄O⁺·C₁₀H₆O₆S₂²⁻, were prepared from the acid‐promoted reaction of hexa­methyl­enetetr­amine. In both structures, the di­sulfonate anion is positioned on an inversion center, with each sulfonate group contributing to the supramolecular assemblies via hydrogen bonds. The ammonium cations are linked to sulfonate groups by four distinct N⁺—H⃛⁻O—S contacts [N⃛O = 2.846 (2)–2.898 (2) Å and N—H⃛O = 160 (2)–175 (2)°], whereas the 1‐(hydroxy­methyl)‐3,5,7‐tri­aza‐1‐azoniatri­cyclo­[3.3.1.1^3,7]­decane cations form one O—H⃛⁻O—S [O⃛O = 2.628 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 176°] and three C—H⃛⁻O—S [C⃛O = 3.359 (2)–3.380 (2) Å and C—H⃛O = 148–155°] interactions to neighboring sulfonate groups.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded supramolecular motifs in 4,4′‐bipyridinium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

In the title compound, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·C₉H₅INO₄S⁻·2H₂O, the 4,4′‐bi­pyridine mol­ecule is protonated at one of the pyridine N atoms. These moieties self‐assemble into a supramolecular chain along the a axis through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The quinolinol OH group acts as a donor with respect to a sulfonate O atom [O—H⋯O(sulfonate)] and acts as an acceptor with respect to a C—H group of ferron [C—H⋯O(hydroxy)], forming a supramolecular chain along the b axis. These two types of supramolecular chains (one type made up of bi­pyridine motifs and the other made up of sulfoxine motifs) interact viaπ–π stacking, generating a three‐dimensional framework. These chains are further crosslinked by C—­H⋯O hydrogen bonds and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving water mol­ecules.     

Chlor­amine‐B sesquihydrate

In the title compound, sodium N‐chloro­benzene­sulfon­amide sesquihydrate, Na⁺·C₆H₅ClNO₂S^?·1.5H₂O, the sodium ion exhibits octahedral coordination by O atoms from three water mol­ecules and by three sulfonyl O atoms of three different N‐­chloro­benzene­sulfon­amide anions. A two‐dimensional polymeric layer consists of units, each comprising two face‐sharing octahedra which share four corners with four other such units, the layer running parallel to the ab plane. The water mol­ecules participate in hydrogen bonds of the types O—H?O, O—H?N and O—H?Cl.     

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.     

Poly[tetrasodium(I)‐tetra‐μ2‐bis(butane‐1,4‐diyldioxy)borato‐μ2‐1,4‐butane­diol]

In the title compound, [Na₄(C₈H₁₆BO₄)₄(C₄H₁₀O₂)]_n, there are two coordination types for the four independent Na⁺ cations: two Na⁺ cations bond to six diolate O atoms [Na—O = 2.305 (2)–2.609 (2) Å], while the other two are five‐coordinate via one 1,4‐butane­diol [2.289 (2) and 2.349 (3) Å] and four diolate O atoms [2.295 (2)–2.408 (2) Å]. Corresponding to this, there are three‐ and four‐coordinate diolate O atoms, the latter bridging Na atoms. The 1,4‐butane­diol mol­ecules lie on inversion centres. The boron stereochemistry shows minor local perturbations from its usual tetrahedral state [B—O = 1.457 (4)–1.503 (4) Å]. The resulting polymer packs as sheets parallel to the (10) plane crosslinked by the butane­diol mol­ecules. The structure was solved using data from a multiple crystal.     

Sodium trichloro­methane­sulfonate monohydrate

Sodium trichloro­methane­sulfonate monohydrate, Na⁺·CCl₃SO₃⁻·H₂O, crystallizes in P2₁/a with all the atoms located in general positions. The trichloro­methane­sulfonate (trichlate) anion consists of pyramidal SO₃ and CCl₃ groups connected via an S—C bond in a staggered conformation with approximate C_3v symmetry. The water mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to the sulfonate O atoms, with one water H atom forming weak bifurcated O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to two different trichlate ions. Two water O atoms and three O atoms from different SO₃ groups form a square‐pyramidal arrangement around the sodium ion.     

[N‐(6‐Amino‐3,4‐di­hydro‐3‐methyl‐5‐nitroso‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐2‐yl)glycylglycinato]aquapotassium,a three‐dimensional coordination polymer

In the title compound, polymeric potassium N‐(6‐amino‐3,4‐di­hydro‐3‐methyl‐5‐nitro­so‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐2‐yl)­glycyl­gly­cinate hydrate, (K⁺·C₉H₁₁N₆O₅^?·H₂O)_n, the hexacoordinate K⁺ cation is linked to five different anions as well as to the water mol­ecule, with K—O distances in the range 2.617 (2)–2.850 (2) Å. Four of the O atoms in each anion coordinate to K centres, one of them acting as a bridging ligand, leading to the formation of nearly square centrosymmetric K₂O₂ rings. The structure is analysed in terms of (010) metal–ligand sheets linked by [010] chains of fused rings.     

catena‐Poly[[[tetra­aqua­zinc(II)]‐μ‐4,4′‐bipyridine] bis­(4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate) trihydrate]

In the title compound, {[Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄](C₆H₅O₄S)₂·3H₂O}_n, the Zn atom, the bipyridine ligand and one of water mol­ecules are located on twofold rotation axes. The Zn atom is coordinated by four O atoms from four water mol­ecules and two N atoms from two 4,4′‐bipyridine mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Zn²⁺ ions are linked by the 4,4′‐bipyridine mol­ecules to form a one‐dimensional straight chain propagating along the c axis. The 4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate counter‐ions are bridged by the solvent water mol­ecules through hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional layer featuring large pores. In the crystal packing, the intra­layer pores form one‐dimensional channels along the c axis, in which the one‐dimensional [Zn(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₄]²⁺ chains are encapsulated. Electrostatic inter­actions between cations and anions and extensive hydrogen bonds result in a three‐dimensional supra­molecular structure.     

Sodium pyridine‐3‐carboxyl­ate

The title compound, also known as sodium nicotinate, Na⁺·C₆H₄NO₂⁻, consists of two unique Na atoms coordinated to two unique pyridine‐3‐­carboxyl­ate ligands through the N atoms and carboxylate groups. One Na atom and one pyridine‐3‐­carboxyl­ate ligand lie on a twofold axis. Extensive Na coordination results in a three‐dimensional array comprising infinite NaO₂CR chains linked by intrachain Na—N bonds.

The crystal structures of [(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­[4‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]­iodo­nium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C₁₂H₁₃F₃I⁺·CF₃O₃S^?, (I), (3,5‐di­chloro­phenyl)­[(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­iodo­nium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C₁₁H₁₂­Cl₂I⁺·CF₃O₃S^?, (II), and bis{[3,5‐bis­(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl][(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­iodo­nium} bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate) di­chloro­methane solvate, 2C₁₃H₁₂F₆I⁺·­2CF₃­O₃S^?·CH₂Cl₂, (III), are described. Neither simple acyclic β,β‐di­alkyl‐substituted alkenyl­(aryl)­idonium salts nor a series containing electron‐deficient aryl rings have been described prior to this work. Compounds (I)–(III) were found to have distorted square‐planar geometries, with each I atom interacting with two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate counter‐ions.     

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.     

catena‐Poly­[[[μ‐pyrazine‐κ2N:N′‐disilver(I)]‐di‐μ‐pyrazine‐κ4N:N′] bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate) dihydrate]

The title compound, {[Ag₂(C₄H₄N₂)₃](CF₃SO₃)₂·2H₂O}_n, is a polymeric pyrazine–silver(I) complex. Each Ag^I ion is three‐coordinated by N atoms of three different pyrazine ligands, forming a T‐shaped coordination configuration. In the crystal structure, uncoordinated water mol­ecules are linked to tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anions through intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. There are weaker Ag⋯O interactions involving the water and sulfonate O atoms.     

Sodium p‐nitro­benzoxasulfamate monohydrate

The title compound, alternatively named sodium 6‐nitro‐3H‐1,2,3‐benzoxa­thia­zole 2,2‐dioxide monohydrate, Na⁺·C₆H₃­N₂O₅S^?·H₂O, consists of chains of NaO₇ units, with the seven donor‐O atoms coming from two water mol­ecules and five p‐­nitro­benzoxasulfamate anions. The seven‐coordinate geometry around the Na⁺ ion is described as monocapped trigonal prismatic, but with a large distortion from ideal geometry. Each triangular face is defined by one O atom each from a water mol­ecule, a nitro group and a sulfonyl group. An O atom from a sulfonyl group caps one of the square faces of the trigonal prism in an unsymmetrical fashion. The water mol­ecules and one sulfonyl O atom are involved in bridging adjacent units, as is the nitro group of the anion. The sulfamate ions adopt an antiparallel alignment between the NaO₇ units and are connected to each other by C—H?O and π–π interactions. The three‐dimensional crystal structure is stabilized by a network of strong O—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

2‐[6‐(1H‐Benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyridyl]‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium perchlorate monohydrate

The title compound, C₁₉H₁₄N₅⁺·ClO₄^?·H₂O, contains planar C₁₉H₁₄N₅⁺ cations, perchlorate anions and water mol­ecules. The two closest parallel cations (plane‐to‐plane distance of 3.41 Å), together with two neighbouring perchlorate anions and two water mol­ecules, form an electrically neutral quasi‐dimeric unit. Two acidic H atoms of the cation, both H atoms of the water mol­ecule, the N atoms of the imidazole rings and three of the four O atoms of the perchlorate anion are involved in the hydrogen‐bonding network within the dimeric unit. The remaining third acidic H atom of the imidazole rings and the water mol­ecules complete a two‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds, thus forming puckered layers of dimers. The angle between the planes of two neighbouring dimeric units in the same layer is 33.25 (3)°.     

A chloro(2‐pyridinecarboxaldehyde)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine)­ruthenium(II) complex

The aldehyde moiety in the title complex, chloro(2‐pyridinecarboxaldehyde‐N,O)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine‐κ³N)ruthenium(II)–chloro­(2‐pyridine­carboxyl­ic acid‐N,O)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine‐κ³N)­ruthenium(II)–perchlorate–chloro­form–water (1.8/0.2/2/1/1), [RuCl­(C₆H₅NO)­(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]_1.8[RuCl­(C₆H₅­NO₂)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]_0.2­(ClO₄)₂·­CHCl₃·­H₂O, is a structural model of substrate coordination to a transfer hydrogenation catalyst. The title complex features two independent Ru^II complex cations that display very similar distorted octahedral coordination provided by the three N atoms of the 2,2′:6′,2′′‐ter­pyridine ligand, the N and O atoms of the 2‐pyridine­carbox­aldehyde (pyCHO) ligand and a chloride ligand. One of the cation sites is disordered such that the aldehyde group is replaced by a 20 (1)% contribution from a carboxyl­ic acid group (aldehyde H replaced by carboxyl O—H). Notable dimensions in the non‐disordered complex cation are Ru—N 2.034 (2) Å and Ru—O 2.079 (2) Å to the pyCHO ligand and O—C 1.239 (4) Å for the pyCHO carbonyl group.
