Ionic co-crystals are co-crystals between organic molecules and inorganic salt coformers. Co-crystals of pharmaceuticals are of interest to help control polymorph formation and potentially improve stability and other physical properties. We describe the preparation, crystal structures, and hydrogen bonding of five different 2:1 benzamide or toluamide/zinc(II) chloride co-crystal salts, namely, bis(benzamide-κO)dichloridozinc(II), [ZnCl2(C7H7NO)2], dichloridobis(2-methylbenzamide-κO)zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C8H9NO)2], dichloridobis(3-methylbenzamide-κO)zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C8H9NO)2], dichloridobis(4-methylbenzamide-κO)zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C8H9NO)2], and dichloridobis(4-hydroxybenzamide-κO)zinc(II), [ZnCl2(C7H7NO2)2]. All of the complexes contain hydrogen bonds between the amide N—H group and the amide carbonyl oxygen atoms or the chlorine atoms, forming extended networks.

The crystal structures of two polymorphs of a phenazine hexacyanoferrate(II) salt/cocrystal, with the formula (Hphen)3[H2Fe(CN)6][H3Fe(CN)6]·2(phen)·2H2O, are reported. The polymorphs are comprised of (Hphen)2[H2Fe(CN)6] trimers and (Hphen)[(phen)2(H2O)2][H3Fe(CN)6] hexamers connected into two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen-bonded networks through strong hydrogen bonds between the [H2Fe(CN)6]2− and [H3Fe(CN)6]− anions. The layers are further connected by hydrogen bonds, as well as through π–π stacking of phenazine moieties. Aside from the identical 2D hydrogen-bonded networks, the two polymorphs share phenazine stacks comprising both protonated and neutral phenazine molecules. On the other hand, the polymorphs differ in the conformation, placement and orientation of the hydrogen-bonded trimers and hexamers within the hydrogen-bonded networks, which leads to different packing of the hydrogen-bonded layers, as well as to different hydrogen bonding between the layers. Thus, aside from an exceptional number of symmetry-independent units (nine in total), these two polymorphs show how robust structural motifs, such as charge-assisted hydrogen bonding or π-stacking, allow for different arrangements of the supramolecular units, resulting in polymorphism.

Abstract We used the high resolution and accuracy of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to provide detailed information regarding base pairing interactions of selected nucleobases. We searched for base pairs in which nucleobases interact with each other through two or more hydrogen bonds and form more or less planar structures. The investigated compounds were either free forms or derivatives of adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, thymine, uracil and cytosine. We divided our findings into categories including types of pairs, protonation patterns and whether they are formed by free bases or substituted ones. We found base pair types that are exclusive to small molecule crystal structures, some that can be found only in RNA containing crystal structures and many that are native to both environments. With a few exceptions, nucleobase protonation generally followed a standard pattern governed by pKa values. The lengths of hydrogen bonds did not depend on whether the nucleobases forming a base pair were charged or not. The reasons why particular nucleobases formed base pairs in a certain way varied significantly.

Two novel cocrystals of the N(7)—H tautomeric form ofN6-benzoyladenine (BA), namelyN6-benzoyladenine–3-hydroxypyridinium-2-carboxylate (3HPA) (1/1), C12H9N5O·C6H5NO3, (I), andN6-benzoyladenine–DL-tartaric acid (TA) (1/1), C12H9N5O·C4H6O6, (II), are reported. In both cocrystals, theN6-benzoyladenine molecule exists as the N(7)—H tautomer, and this tautomeric form is stabilized by intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding between the benzoyl C=O group and the N(7)—H hydrogen on the Hoogsteen site of the purine ring, forming anS(7) motif. The dihedral angle between the adenine and phenyl planes is 0.94 (8)° in (I) and 9.77 (8)° in (II). In (I), the Watson–Crick face of BA (N6—H and N1; purine numbering) interacts with the carboxylate and phenol groups of 3HPA through N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds, generating a ring-motif heterosynthon [graph setR22(6)]. However, in (II), the Hoogsteen face of BA (benzoyl O atom and N7; purine numbering) interacts with TA (hydroxy and carbonyl O atoms) through N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a different heterosynthon [graph setR22(4)]. Both crystal structures are further stabilized by π–π stacking interactions.

Adducts of macrocyclic polyethers (crown ethers) and aminopolyethers1,2 having hydrogen bonds with polar organic molecules, especially with CH-acidic compounds, are described. These can be isolated as solids, and are, as a rule, stoichiometrically consistent. The chemical shift of the 1H NMR signals of the adducts of malononitrile with various crown ethers corresponds to the anionic reactivity of potassium complexes of the crown ethers in the course of nucleophilic substitution reactions.

The preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns in the crystal structures of 5-propyl-2-thiouracil, C7H10N2OS, (I), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil, C5H6N2O2S, (II), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C5H6N2O2S·C4H9NO, (IIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil, C6H8N2OS, (III), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C6H8N2OS·C5H9NO, (IIIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C3H7NO, (IIIb), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C4H9NO, (IIIc), and 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–dimethyl sulfoxide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C2H6OS, (IIId), were analysed. All eight structures containR22(8) patterns. In (II), (IIa), (III) and (IIIa), they are formed by two N—H...S hydrogen bonds, and in (I) by alternating pairs of N—H...S and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the structures of (IIIb), (IIIc) and (IIId) contain `mixed'R22(8) patterns with one N—H...S and one N—H...O hydrogen bond, as well asR22(8) motifs with two N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

Chalcones constitute an important class of bioactive drug targets in the pharmaceutical industry that includes anti-ulcerative drug sofalcone. In continuation of our work, the crystal structures of four closely related 1-phenyl-piperidine based chalcones will be presented. I: C19 H21NOS, MW = 311.43, T = 173(2) K, λ = 0.71073 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 10.1045(4), b = 10.5358(4), c = 30.6337(12) Å, V = 3261.2(2) Å3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.269 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1328, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.059. II: C18H19NOS, MW = 297.40, T = 173(2) K, λ = 1.54178 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 8.9236(2), b = 11.0227(2), c = 30.8168(6) Å, V = 3031.21(11) Å3 Z = 8, Dc = 1.303 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1264, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.035. III: C18H19NOS, MW = 297.40, T = 173(2) K, λ = 1.54178 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 8.82990(10), b = 11.0061(2), c = 31.2106(5) Å, V = 3033.13(8) Å3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.303 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1264, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.048. IV: C18H18ClNOS, MW = 331.84, T = 173(2) K, λ = 0.71073 Å, Monoclinic, P 21/c, a = 14.1037(4), b = 11.3153(3), c = 10.1290(2) Å, β = 101.1367(14)0, V = 1586.02(7) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.390 Mg/m3, F (000) = 696, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.038. The crystals of I, II and III are isomorphous. In all structures, the piperidine rings are in chair conformations, thiophene rings are essentially planar and the C=C bonds in the prop-2-en-1-one fragment adopt E-conformation. All crystal structures are devoid of any classical hydrogen bonds. However, non-classical hydrogen bonding interactions of the type C---H...O in compounds II, III and IV link the molecules into chains extended along the b-axis. Moreover, C---H...Cg interactions involving thiophene rings in I and III and benzene ring in IV and π...π interactions between benzene rings lying about inversion centers are present in II and III.

Polymorphism of crystals, crystal habit and crystal growth are important factors that must be controlled for any commercial crystallization process. Pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals are two of the most industrially-important, active-molecule systems for which the physical properties are strongly correlated to their crystal structure. While pharmaceuticals have attracted more academic interest to date, the market for agrochemicals is also very considerable, amounting to $15 bn annually. Given the potential significant toxicity of some agrochemicals, the ability to control physical properties such as solubility and dissolution rates, which depend on the crystal structure of the agrochemical itself, represents a way of optimizing the ratio between the amount of product used and its efficiency, improving its function and reducing its environmental impact. Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in the spatial arrangement of the active molecules and the crystallization process. However, high accuracy and precision of the hydrogen atom positions can only be achieved through single crystal neutron diffraction (SND). SND experiments have been performed on three herbicides - isoproturon (IPU), pendimethalin (PDM), and diflufenican (DFF) - and the fungicide cyprodinil (CYP) [1][2]. All four structure refinements show a ten-time improvement in precision in the hydrogen atom positions compared to SXD with accurately determined nuclear positions. For cyprodinil, which crystallises as two polymorphs, A and B, differences in the hydrogen bonding network have been determined. Form A is governed by single, linear hydrogen bonds between two molecules, while the B form is characterized by the presence of dimers linked through pairs of hydrogen bonds, leading to a stable 8-membered ring. These differences in structure are reflected in the physical properties of the two polymorphs such as melting point and the observed slow inter-conversion that takes place during storage.

A new method is presented to predict which donors and acceptors form hydrogen bonds in a crystal structure, based on the statistical analysis of hydrogen bonds in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The method is named the logit hydrogen-bonding propensity (LHP) model. The approach has a potential application in identifying both likely and unusual hydrogen bonding, which can help to rationalize stable and metastable crystalline forms, of relevance to drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. Whilst polymorph prediction techniques are widely used, the LHP model is knowledge-based and is not restricted by the computational issues of polymorph prediction, and as such may form a valuable precursor to polymorph screening. Model construction applies logistic regression, using training data obtained with a new survey method based on the CSD system. The survey categorizes the hydrogen bonds and extracts model parameter values using descriptive structural and chemical properties from three-dimensional organic crystal structures. LHP predictions from a fitted model are made using two-dimensional observables alone. In the initial cases analysed, the model is highly accurate, achieving ∼ 90% correct classification of both observed hydrogen bonds and non-interacting donor–acceptor pairs. Extensive statistical validation shows the LHP model to be robust across a range of small-molecule organic crystal structures.

Two novel crystal forms of bis(oxonium) ethane-1,2-disulfonate, 2H3O−·C2H4O6S2 2−, are reported. Polymorph II has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry, while the symmetry of form III is triclinic (P\overline{1}). Both structures display extensive networks of O—H...O hydrogen bonds. While this network in Form II is similar to that observed for the previously reported Form I [Mootz & Wunderlich (1970). Acta Cryst. B26, 1820–1825; Sartori et al. (1994). Z. Naturforsch. 49, 1467–1472] and extends in all directions, in Form III it differs significantly, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. The sulfonate molecule in all three forms adopts a nearly identical geometry. The other observed differences between the forms, apart from the hydrogen-bonding network, are observed in the crystal density and packing index.

Two polymorphs of the title compound, C19H16N2O3, were obtained from ethanolic (polymorph I) and methanolic solutions (polymorph II), respectively. Both polymorphs crystallize in the monoclinic system with four formula units per cell and a complete molecule in the asymmetric unit. The main difference between the molecules of (I) and (II) is the reversed position of the hydroxy group of the carboxylic function. All other conformational features are found to be similar in the two molecules. The different orientation of the OH group results in different hydrogen-bonding schemes in the crystal structures of (I) and (II). Whereas in (I) intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the pyridazinone carbonyl O atom as acceptor generate chains with a C(7) motif extending parallel to the b-axis direction, in the crystal of (II) pairs of inversion-related O—H...O hydrogen bonds with an R 2 2(8) ring motif between two carboxylic functions are found. The intermolecular interactions in both crystal structures were analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.
