Polysulfonylamine, CXLII [1]. Ein supramolekulares Monomer-Dimer-Paar: Starke und schwache Wasserstoffbrücken in den Kristallstrukturen von Pyridinium-dimesylamid und 4,4´-Bipyridindiium-bis(dimesylamid) / Polysulfonylamines, CXLII [1]. A Supramolecular Monomer-Dimer Pair: Strong and Weak Hydrogen Bonding in the Crystal Structures of Pyridinium Dimesylamide and 4,4´-Bipyridinediium Bis(dimesylamide)
In order to study packing arrangements and hydrogen bonding networks, low-temperature X-ray structures were determined for pyH+(MeSO2)2N- (M, orthorhombic, space group P212121, Z′ = 1) and 4,4′-bipyH22+ ·(MeSO2)2N- (D, monoclinic, C2/c, Z′ = 0.5). The structures consist of ionic formula entities assembled by N+-H···N- hydrogen bonds; the dication in D displays crystallographic C2 symmetry and has its two pyridyl moieties twisted by 43.9°. According to the packing architectures, D represents a supramolecular dimer of the monomeric congener M. In particular, the (MeSO2)2N- ions of the M structure are associated via short C(sp3) - H···O contacts to form a diamondoid network, whereas in D a topologically congruent framework is constructed from weakly hydrogen-bonded [(MeSO2)N-]2 nodes. Hexagonal channels in the anion substructures each include two adjacent stacks of monomeric pyH+ or “dimeric” 4,4-bipyH22+ cations that are linked to the channel walls by the strong hydrogen bond(s) and a set of short Car-H···O contacts. All C - H···O taken into consideration have normalized parameters d(H···O) ≤ 270 pm and θ(C - H···O) ≥ 115°.
