The 1:1 proton-transfer brucinium compounds from the reaction of the alkaloid brucine with 5-nitrosalicylic acid, 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, and 5-sulfosalicylic acid, namely anhydrous brucinium 5-nitrosalicylate (1), brucinium 3,5-dinitrosalicylate monohydrate (2), and brucinium 5-sulfosalicylate trihydrate (3) have been prepared and their crystal structures determined by X-ray crystallography. All structures further demonstrate the selectivity of brucine for meta-substituted benzoic acids and comprise three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework polymers. Two of the compounds (1 and 3) have the previously described undulating brucine sheet host-substructures which incorporate interstitially hydrogen-bonded salicylate anion guest species and additionally in 3 the water molecules of solvation. The structure of 2 differs in having a three-centre brucinium–salicylate anion bidentate N+–H···O(carboxyl) hydrogen-bonding association linking the species through interstitial associations involving also the water molecules of solvation. A review of the crystallographic structural literature on strychnine and brucine is also given.

New inclusion complexes tetra-n-butylammonium hydrogen oxalate–thiourea (1/2), (n-C4H9)4N+.HC2O4 −.2[(NH2)2CS] (1), tetramethylammonium hydrogen fumarate–thiourea (1/1), (CH3)4N+.HC4H2O4 −.(NH2)2CS (2), di(tetraethylammonium) fumarate–thiourea (1/2), [(C2H5)4N+]2.C4H2O4 2−.2[(NH2)2CS] (3) and tetra-n-propylammonium hydrogen fumarate–thiourea–water (1/1/2), (n-C3H7)4N+.HC4H2 O4 −.(NH2)2CS.2H2O (4) have been prepared and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data, Mo Kα radiation: (1), space group P21/n, a = 8.854 (6), b = 9.992 (3), c = 32.04 (2) Å, β = 97.34 (3), Z = 4, R F = 0.055 for 2261 observed data; (2), space group P\overline 1, a = 6.269 (2), b = 8.118 (4), c = 14.562 (8) Å, α = 104.79 (4), β= 91.72 (4), γ = 101.30 (4)°, Z = 2, R F = 0.078 for 1543 observed data; (3), space group P21/n, a = 11.340 (2), b = 9.293 (6), c = 14.619 (2) Å, β = 102.41 (2)°, Z = 2, R F = 0.050 for 1856 observed data; (4), space group P2/n, a = 16.866 (4), b = 8.311  (1), c = 17.603 (2) Å, β = 104.94 (1)°, Z = 4, R F = 0.048 for 2785 observed data. In the crystal structure of (1) the tetra-n-butylammonium ions are sandwiched between puckered layers, which are constructed from thiourea-hydrogen oxalate ribbons. In the crystal structure of (2), zigzag O--H...O and C--H...O hydrogen-bonded hydrogen fumarate ribbons are linked by thiourea dimers to form a wide puckered ribbon and the crystal structure is built of a packing of these thiourea–anion composite ribbons and the cationic columns. In the layer-type crystal structure of (3) a series of thiourea–fumarate layers match the (002) planes and the (C2H5)4N+ cations occupy the intervening space. In the crystal structure of (4) the thiourea, hydrogen fumarate ions and water molecules are connected by hydrogen bonds to form wide puckered ribbons, which are crosslinked to generate a three-dimensional host framework containing open channels aligned parallel to the a axis, with the tetra-n-propylammonium cations accommodated in a single column within each channel.

X-ray structure analyses of crystalline [NMe4][B5O6(OH)4] · nH2O with n ≈ 0.25-0.50 (1), [NEt4][B5O6(OH)4] (2), [NPhMe3][B5O6(OH)4] (3), and [pipH][B5O6(OH)4] (4) reveal that these materials are novel clathrates with closely related three-dimensional host structures built up of hydrogen-bonded oligomeric pentaborate [B5O6(OH)4]- ions. The organic cations and water molecules (in 1) occupy as guest species large straight channel-like voids of nearly rectangular cross-section. Compound 1 crystallizes monoclinically with space group P2,/c (Z = 4); the compounds 2,3 and 4, which possess the same host-structure topology, crystallize triclinically with space group P1̄ (Z = 2). 11B-MAS NMR spectra allow the detection of small angular distortions in the pentaborate anions caused by the specific hydrogen bonding in the host frameworks. Upon heating the compounds on a thermobalance in a dynamic inert gas atmosphere dehydration occurs at temperatures of 563 K (1), 543 K (2), 558 K (3) and 523 K (4) before degradation of the organic cations starts at temperatures of 633 K (1), 623 K (2), 623 K (3) and 613 K (4).

Tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane, and simple derivatives with substituents that do not engage in hydrogen bonding typically crystallize as close-packed structures with essentially no space available for the inclusion of guests. In contrast, derivatives with hydrogen-bonding groups are known to favor the formation of open networks that include significant amounts of guests. To explore this phenomenon, we synthesized six new derivatives 5a–5e and 6a of tetraphenylmethane and tetraphenylsilane with urethane and urea groups at the para positions, crystallized the compounds, and determined their structures by X-ray crystallography. As expected, all six compounds crystallize to form porous three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks. In the case of tetraurea 5e, 66% of the volume of the crystals is accessible to guests, and guests can be exchanged in single crystals without loss of crystallinity. Of special note are: (i) the use of tetrakis(4-isocyanatophenyl)methane (1f) as a precursor for making enantiomerically pure tetraurethanes and tetraureas, including compounds 5b, 5c; and (ii) their subsequent crystallization to give porous chiral hydrogen-bonded networks. Such materials promise to include chiral guests enantioselectively and to be useful in the separation of racemates, asymmetric catalysis, and other applications.Key words: crystal engineering, molecular tectonics, hydrogen bonding, networks, porosity, urethanes, ureas, tetraphenylmethane, tetraphenylsilane.

Abstract Hydrate formation of haloacetic acids CClnF3-nCOOH (n = 1, 2, 3) has been studied by DTA and temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction, and evidence obtained for five phases, all melting at temperatures below ambient. The hydrates have been confirmed and further characterized by their crystal structures at -150 °C. Three lower hydrates, CCl2FCOOH· 0.5H2O (space group P21/c and Z = 8 formula unites per unit cell), CClF2COOHH2O (P21/c, Z = 4), and CClF2COOH ·4H2O (P1̄, Z = 2), have molecular structures with the acid and water molecules hydrogen-bonded in two-dimensional arrays. The structures of the remaining hydrates, CCl2FCOOH·6H2O and CCl3COOH · 6H2O (similar, but not isotypic, both P1̄ and Z = 2), are ionic, as (H5O2+)(CX3COO-) · 4H2O , and three-dimensional. The neutral water molecules are hydrogen-bonded in ice-like layers rare in crystal chemistry. Also, CCl2FCOOH is established only as the second acid of which a lower hydrate is molecular and a higher one ionic.

AbstractThe crystal structures of the 1:1 proton-transfer compounds of (4-aminophenyl)arsonic acid (p-arsanilic acid) with the strong organic acids, 2,4,6-trinitrophenol (picric acid), 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, (3-carboxy-4-hydroxy)benzenesulfonic acid (5-sulfosalicylic acid) and toluene-4-sulfonic acid have been determined at 200 K and their hydrogen–bonding patterns examined. The compounds are, respectively, anhydrous 4-arsonoanilinium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate (1), the hydrate 4-arsonoanilinium 2-carboxy-4,6-dinitrophenolate monohydrate (2), the hydrate 4-arsonoanilinium (3-carboxy-4-hydroxy)benzenesulfonate monohydrate (3) and the partial solvate 4-arsonoanilinium toluene-4-sulfonate 0.8 hydrate (4). The asymmetric unit of2, a phenolate, comprises two independent but conformationally similar cation-anion pairs and two water molecules of solvation, and in all compounds, extensive inter-species hydrogen–bonding interactions involving arsono O–H···O and anilinium N–H···O hydrogen–bonds generate three-dimensional supramolecular structures. In the cases of1and2, the acceptors include phenolate and nitro O-atom acceptors, with3and4, additionally, sulfonate O-atom acceptors, and with the hydrates2–4, the water molecules of solvation. A feature of the hydrogen–bonding in3is the presence of primary chains extending along (010) through centrosymmetric cyclicR22(8) motifs together with conjoined cyclicR34(12) motifs, which include the water molecule of solvation. The primary hydrogen–bonding in the substructure of4involves homomolecular cation–cation arsono O–H···O interactions forming columns down the crystallographic four-fold axis of the unit cell.

A novel Dawson-type polyoxometalate supramolecular architecture of the formula [4,4′-H2bipy]2.5·[4,4′-Hbipy]·[P2W18O62]·6.25H2O (4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine) has been hydrothermally synthesised and characterised by means of elemental analysis, IR, CV and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. X-ray crystallography indicates that the title compound consists of Dawson-type polyoxoaions [P2W18O62]6-, water molecules and 4,4′-bipy units. The polyoxoanion clusters together with 4,4′-bipy units and water molecules to construct the three-dimensional supramolecular network through hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure analyses reveal that water molecules and 4,4′-bipy units play the important role on the packing arrangements of crystals. Cyclic voltammetry shows that the title compound exhibits three chemically reversible steps

The title compounds, 6-nitroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (C8H5N3O3; I), 6-aminoquinazolin-4(3H)-one (C8H7N3O; II) and 4-aminoquinazolin-1-ium chloride–4-aminoquinazoline–water (1/1/2), (C8H8N3 +·Cl−·C8H7N3·2H2O; III) were synthesized and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the crystals of I and II, the quinazoline molecules form hydrogen-bonded dimers via N—H...O interactions. The dimers are connected by weak intermolecular C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a layered structure in the case of I. In the crystal of II, N—H...N and C—H...O interactions link the dimers into a three-dimensional network structure. The asymmetric unit of III consists of two quinazoline molecules, one of which is protonated, a chloride ion, and two water molecules. The chloride anion and the water molecules form hydrogen-bonded chains consisting of fused five-membered rings. The protonated and unprotonated quinazolin molecules are linked to the chloride ions and water molecules of the chain by their amino groups.

The dimensionality of the hydrogen-bonded networks is dependent upon the nature of the anion and the number of water molecules of crystallization since the cation adapts a centrosymmetric exodentate conformation in all six salts. Keywords: crystal engineering, cyclams, network hydrogen bonding.
