Self-assembly of three flexible bis(pyridyl) molecules with different inorganic acids (HPF6, HClO4, and HNO3) leads to the formation of eight salts, which exhibit diverse architectures involving hydrogen bonding and anion–π interactions. The three types of inorganic anions in these salts formed anion–π interactions with HM+ and H2M2+ except for 2, in which the six F atoms were involved in hydrogen bonds. Anion–π interactions produced diverse motifs of one (anion)-to-one (cation) in 1, 3, 4, and 6, two (anion)-to-one (cation) in 5 and 7, and (4,4) layer in 8. Hydrogen bonds resulted in interesting supramolecular architectures, such as right- and left-handed helical chains in 3, 2-fold interpenetrating networks in 5, and 3-fold interpenetrating networks in 8. Structural analyses indicated that the conformations of the three flexible asymmetrical bis(pyridyl) molecules and the non-covalent bonding interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and anion···π interactions, play crucial roles in the final architectures of these salts. Thermogravimetric analyses indicated that the thermal stability of the eight salts decreased in the order of perchlorates, hexafluorophosphates, and nitrates. The emission intensity of the perchlorates is much stronger than that of the hexafluorophosphates, nitrates, and their corresponding organic molecules in the solid state at room temperature.

3′:5′-Cyclic nucleotides play an outstanding role in signal transduction at the cellular level but, in spite of comprehensive knowledge of the biological role of cyclic nucleotides, their structures are not established fully. Two hydrated sodium salts of thymidine 3′:5′-cyclic phosphate (cdTMP, C10H12N2O7P), namely sodium thymidine 3′:5′-cyclic phosphate heptahydrate, Na+·C10H12N2O7P−·7H2O or Na(cdTMP)·7H2O, (I), and sodium thymidine 3′:5′-cyclic phosphate 3.7-hydrate, Na+·C10H12N2O7P−·3.7H2O or Na(cdTMP)·3.7H2O, (II), have been obtained in crystalline form and structurally characterized, revealing one nucleotide in the asymmetric unit of (I) and eight different nucleotides in (II). All the cyclic nucleotide anions adopt a similar conformation with regard to nucleobase orientation, sugar conformation and 1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane ring puckering. In (I), no direct inter-nucleotide hydrogen bonds are present, and adjacent nucleotide anions interactviawater-mediated and Na+-mediated contacts. In contrast, in (II), direct thymine–phosphate N—H...O inter-nucleotide hydrogen bonds occur and these are assisted by numerous inter-nucleotide C—H...O contacts, giving rise to the self-assembly of cdTMP−anions into three different ribbons. Two of these three ribbons run in the same direction, while the third is antiparallel.

A new three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework, [Ag2(bipy)2(bdc)·4H2O]n 1, has been synthesized by the ultrasonic reaction of Ag2O, bipy and H2bdc (H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; bipy = 4,4’-bipyridine) at room temperature. It exhibits a new 3D supramolecular framework which is built from cationic Ag-bipy chains and anionic bdc-H2O sheets through hydrogen bonds, π · · ·π stacking and C-H· · ·π interactions. Additionally, the photoluminescent and thermal properties of 1 were investigated.

A new H-bonded supramolecular assembly of the diamine-diol family has been obtained from (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (DAC) and (S)-1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (PED). The structure was characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis and showed the typical architecture of DAC based assemblies, consisting of a three-stranded helicate coiling around a H-bonded core, with a predictable helicity sense determined by the configuration of DAC. The new assembly, while reconfirming the unique role of DAC as a powerful assembler of supramolecular structures, demonstrated that the C2 symmetry of diol partners employed so far is not essential for assembling helicates, although chirality is. In the case of the adduct between (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and (2R,3R)-2,3-butanediol, molecular recognition and self-assembly have been shown to take place even in the absence of solvent, in the gas phase, where long crystals were formed by spontaneous organized aggregation of diamine-diol units. A thorough analysis of the results from the present and previous investigations has lead to a deeper understanding of the key features of the diamine-diol molecular code and of the requirements for recognition and assembly.Key words: supramolecular, hydrogen bonding, molecular recognition, self-assembly, diamines, diols.
