Abstract: | The title compounds, C10H10N22+·C8Cl4O42−·2H2O, (I), and 2C12H9N2+·C8Cl4O42−·C8H2Cl4O4·3H2O, (II), both crystallize as charge‐transfer organic salts with the dianionic or neutral acid components lying on inversion centres. The acid and base subunits in (I) arrange alternately to generate a linear tape motif via N—H...O hydrogen bonds; these tapes are further combined into a three‐dimensional architecture through multiple O—H...O and C—H...O interactions involving solvent water molecules. In contrast, the neutral and anionic acid components in (II) are linked to form a zigzag chain by means of O—H...O hydrogen bonds between acid groups, with dangling 1,10‐phenanthrolinium units connected to these chains by carboxylate–pyridinium interactions with R22(7) hydrogen‐bond notation. Adjacent chains are further extended to result in a two‐dimensional corrugated layer network viaπ–π interactions. Inter‐ion Cl...O interactions are also found in both (I) and (II). |
