1‐Methyl‐4‐nitraminopyridinium nitrate and 4‐nitraminopyridinium methanesulfonate

In the title compounds, C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·NO₃^? and C₅­H₆­N₃­O₂⁺·­CH₃SO₃^?, respectively, the cations are almost planar; the twist of the nitr­amino group about the C—N and N—N bonds does not exceed 10°. The deviations from coplanarity are accounted for by intermolecular N—H?O interactions. The coplanarity of the NHNO₂ group and the phenyl ring leads to the deformation of the nitr­amino group. The C—N—N angle and one C—C—N angle at the junction of the phenyl ring and the nitr­amino group are increased from 120° by ca 6°, whereas the other junction C—C—N angle is decreased by ca 5°. Within the nitro group, the O—N—O angle is increased by ca 5° and one O—N—N angle is decreased by ca 5°, whereas the other O—N—N angle remains almost unchanged. The cations are connected to the anions by relatively strong N—H?O hydrogen bonds [shortest H?O separations 1.77 (2)–1.81 (3) Å] and much weaker C—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O separations 2.30 (2)–2.63 (3) Å].     

Piperazine‐1,4‐diium–2,4‐dinitrophenolate–water (1/2/2)

In the title 1/2/2 adduct, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·2C₆H₃N₂O₅^?·2H₂O, the dication lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and the asymmetric unit also has one anion and one water mol­ecule in general positions. The 2,4‐di­nitro­phenolate anions and the water mol­ecules are linked by two O—H?O and two C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form molecular ribbons, which extend along the b direction. The piperazine dication acts as a donor for bifurcated N—H?O hydrogen bonds with the phenolate O atom and with the O atom of the o‐nitro group. Six symmetry‐related molecular ribbons are linked to a piperazine dication by N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.

The mol­ecules of the ternary complex form molecular ribbons perpendicular to the b direction, which are stabilized by one N—H?O, one O—H?O and five C—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The ribbons are further interconnected by three intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional network.

The molecular side chain including the guanidinium group is not fully extended, having a near gauche–gauche conformation [χ³ = 59.0 (1)°; χ⁴ = 72.8 (1)°]. The network of hydrogen bonds stabilizing the crystal lattice includes those formed between the deprotonated and negatively charged α‐carboxyl­ate groups and the positively charged amino groups of the guanidinium group of neighbouring mol­ecules. N—H?O=C and water‐mediated N—H?O hydrogen bonds link individual mol­ecules to produce pairs of spiral motifs laterally connected by N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.

Ethyl 6‐acetylamino‐6,7‐dihydro‐5H‐dibenzo[a,c]cycloheptene‐6‐carboxylate

The title compound, C₂₀H₂₁NO₃, is a derivative of Aib (α‐­aminoisobutyric acid) and is cyclized at the C^α position by bi­phenyl rings. The seven‐membered ring possesses C2 symmetry. The C^α cyclization causes the backbone to assume a helical conformation in the crystal structure. The packing of the mol­ecules is stabilized by intermolecular C—H?O, C—H?π and N—H?O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·2C₈H₇O₃^?·2CH₄O, the cations lie across centres of inversion and are disordered over two orientations with equal occupancy; there are equal numbers of (R)‐ and (S)‐mandelate anions present (mandelate is α‐hydroxy­benzene­acetate).

Each orientation of the cation forms two symmetry‐related two‐centre N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.588 (4) and 2.678 (4) Å, and N—H?O 177 and 171°] and two asymmetric, but planar, three‐centre N—H?(O)₂ hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.686 (4)–3.137 (4) Å and N—H?O 137–147°], and by means of these the cations link the anion/water chains into bilayers.     

Conformation of cationic N,N‐di­methyl­glycine in di­methyl­glycinium tri­fluoro­acetate

In the title compound, C₄H₁₀NO₂⁺·C₂F₃O₂^?, the main N—C—COOH skeleton of the protonated amino acid is nearly planar. The C=O/C—N and C=O/O—H bonds are syn and the two methyl groups are gauche to the methyl­ene H atoms. The conformation of the cation in the crystal is compared to that given by ab initio calculations (Hartree–Fock, self‐consistent field molecular‐orbital theory). The tri­fluoro­acetate anion has the typical staggered conformation with usual bond distances and angles. The cation and anion form dimers through a strong O—H?O hydrogen bond which are further interconnected in infinite zigzag chains running parallel to the a axis by N—H?O bonds. Weaker C—H?O interactions involving the methyl groups and the carboxy O atoms of the cation occur between the chains.

In the crystal structure, there are two different conformers with their terminal C₆ aromatic rings mutually oriented at angles of 67.69 (14) and 61.16 (15)°. The distances of the terminal N atoms (of the two conformers) from the chloride ion are 3.110 (4) and 3.502 (4) Å. There are eight distinct hydrogen bonds, i.e. four N—H?Cl, three N—H?O and one N—H?N, with one N—H group involved in a bifurcated hydrogen bond with two acceptors sharing the H atom. C—H?O contacts assist in the overall hydrogen‐bonding process.     

Amino­pyrimidine–carboxyl­(ate) interactions in trimethoprim maleate,an antifolate drug

In the title cocrystal, trimethoprim maleate [2,4‐di­amino‐5‐(3,4,5‐tri­methoxy­benzyl)­pyrimidin‐1‐ium maleate], C₁₄H₁₉­N₄O₃⁺·­C₄H₃O₄^?, the trimethoprim mol­ecule is protonated at N1. The carboxyl group of the maleate ion makes a specific double hydrogen bond of type N—H?O with the 2‐amino group and the protonated N1 atom of the trimethoprim cation which is similar to the carboxyl­ate–trimethoprim cation interaction observed in the complex of di­hydro­folate reductase with trimethoprim. The pyrimidine moieties of trimethoprim cations are centrosymmetrically paired through a pair of N—H?N hydrogen bonds involving the 4‐amino group and the pyridinium N3 atom of a symmetry‐related molecule. One of the O atoms at the maleate carboxyl­ate group bridges the 2‐­amino and 4‐amino groups on either side of the paired trimethoprim cations. The other O atom of the carboxyl­ate group forms an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond with the carboxyl group. These characteristic hydrogen bonds result in infinite two‐dimensional aggregation of rings into a supramolecular ladder, which is further crosslinked through weak C—H?O interactions with methoxy groups of neighbouring trimethoprim mol­ecules to form a layered structure.

Hydrogen bonding in C‐substituted nitroanilines: molecular ladders in 2‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline and sheets of R(12) and R(32) rings in 3‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline

In 2‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, C₇H₅F₃N₂O₂, (I), the mol­ecules lie across a mirror plane in space group Pnma. The mol­ecules are linked by paired N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a C(8)[R(6)] chain of rings, pairs of which are linked into a molecular ladder by a single C—H?O hydrogen bond. The isomeric 3‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, (II), has Z′ = 2 in space group P2₁/c. Each mol­ecule is linked to four others by N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from alternating R(12) and R(32) rings.     

Hexa­methyl­enetetra­mine–4‐nitro­catechol–water (1/2/1)

In the title adduct, 1,3,5,7‐tetra­aza­tri­cyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]dec­ane–4‐nitro­benzene‐1,2‐diol–water (1/2/1), C₆H₁₂N₄·2C₆H₅NO₄·H₂O, the hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine mol­ecule acts as an acceptor of intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen‐bonding interactions from the water mol­ecule and the hydroxy groups of one of the two symmetry‐independent 4‐nitro­catechol mol­ecules. The structure is built from molecular layers which are stabilized by three intermolecular O—H?O, two intermolecular O—H?N and four intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds. The layers are further interconnected by one additional intermolecular O—H?N and two intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

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.
