Co-operative halogen bonds and nonconventional sp -C—H...O hydrogen bonds in 1:1 cocrystals formed between diethynylpyridines and N -halosuccinimides
The rapid evaporation of 1:1 solutions of diethynylpyridines and N -halosuccinimides, that react together to form haloalkynes, led to the isolation of unreacted 1:1 cocrystals of the two components. The 1:1 cocrystal formed between 2,6-diethynylpyridine and N -iodosuccinimide (C 4 H 4 INO 2 ·C 9 H 5 N) contains an N -iodosuccinimide–pyridine I...N halogen bond and two terminal alkyne–succinimide carbonyl C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The three-dimensional extended structure features interwoven double-stranded supramolecular polymers that are interconnected through halogen bonds. The cocrystal formed between 3,5-diethynylpyridine and N -iodosuccinimide (C 4 H 4 INO 2 ·C 9 H 5 N) also features an I...N halogen bond and two C—H...O hydrogen bonds. However, the components form essentially planar double-stranded one-dimensional zigzag supramolecular polymers. The cocrystal formed between 3,5-diethynylpyridine and N -bromosuccinimide (C 4 H 4 BrNO 2 ·C 9 H 5 N) is isomorphous to the cocrystal formed between 3,5-diethynylpyridine and N -iodosuccinimide, with a Br...N halogen bond instead of an I...N halogen bond.

The potential of pyrimidines to serve as ditopic halogen-bond acceptors is explored. The halogen-bonded cocrystals formed from solutions of either 5,5′-bipyrimidine (C 8 H 6 N 4 ) or 1,2-bis(pyrimidin-5-yl)ethyne (C 10 H 6 N 4 ) and 2 molar equivalents of 1,3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (C 6 F 4 I 2 ) have a 1:1 composition. Each pyrimidine moiety acts as a single halogen-bond acceptor and the bipyrimidines act as ditopic halogen-bond acceptors. In contrast, the activated pyrimidines 2- and 5-{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethynyl}pyrimidine (C 14 H 13 N 3 ) are ditopic halogen-bond acceptors, and 1:1 halogen-bonded cocrystals are formed from 1:1 mixtures of each of the activated pyrimidines and either 1,2- or 1,3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene. A 1:1 cocrystal was also formed between 2-{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethynyl}pyrimidine and 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene, while a 2:1 cocrystal was formed between 5-{[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]ethynyl}pyrimidine and 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene.

The structure of zymonic acid (systematic name: 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-carboxylic acid), C 6 H 6 O 5 , which had previously eluded crystallographic determination, is presented here for the first time. It forms by intramolecular condensation of parapyruvic acid, which is the product of aldol condensation of pyruvic acid. A redetermination of the crystal structure of pyruvic acid (systematic name: 2-oxopropanoic acid), C 3 H 4 O 3 , at low temperature (90 K) and with increased precision, is also presented [for the previous structure, see: Harata et al. (1977). Acta Cryst. B 33 , 210–212]. In zymonic acid, the hydroxylactone ring is close to planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0108 Å) and the dihedral angle between the ring and the plane formed by the bonds of the methyl and carboxylic acid carbon atoms to the ring is 88.68 (7)°. The torsion angle of the carboxylic acid group relative to the ring is 12.04 (16)°. The pyruvic acid molecule is almost planar, having a dihedral angle between the carboxylic acid and methyl-ketone groups of 3.95 (6)°. Intermolecular interactions in both crystal structures are dominated by hydrogen bonding. The common R 2 2 (8) hydrogen-bonding motif links carboxylic acid groups on adjacent molecules in both structures. In zymonic acid,more »

The formation of a photoreactive cocrystal based upon 1,2-diiodoperchlorobenzene ( 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 ) and trans -1,2-bis(pyridin-4-yl)ethylene ( BPE ) has been achieved. The resulting cocrystal, 2( 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 )·( BPE ) or C 6 Cl 4 I 2 ·0.5C 12 H 10 N 2 , comprises planar sheets of the components held together by the combination of I...N halogen bonds and halogen–halogen contacts. Notably, the 1,2-C 6 I 2 Cl 4 molecules π-stack in a homogeneous and face-to-face orientation that results in an infinite column of the halogen-bond donor. As a consequence of this stacking arrangement and I...N halogen bonds, molecules of BPE also stack in this type of pattern. In particular, neighbouring ethylene groups in BPE are found to be parallel and within the accepted distance for a photoreaction. Upon exposure to ultraviolet light, the cocrystal undergoes a solid-state [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction that produces rctt -tetrakis(pyridin-4-yl)cyclobutane ( TPCB ) with an overall yield of 89%. A solvent-free approach utilizing dry vortex grinding of the components also resulted in a photoreactive material with a similar yield.

The title three-dimensional metal–organic framework (MOF) compound, {(NH 4 ) 2 [Zn 2 (C 9 H 3 O 6 ) 2 ]·2C 5 H 9 NO} n , features an anionic framework constructed from Zn 2+ cations and benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (BTC) organic anions. Charge balance is achieved by outer sphere ammonium cations formed by degradation of di- n -butylamine in the solvothermal synthesis of the compound. Binuclear {Zn 2 (COO) 2 } entities act as the framework's secondary building units. Each Zn II atom has a tetrahedral coordination environment with an O 4 set of donor atoms. The three-dimensional framework adopts a rutile-type topology and channels are filled in an alternating fashion with ordered and disordered 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one solvent molecules and ammonium cations. The latter are held in the channels via four N—H...O hydrogen bonds, including three with the benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate ligands of the anionic framework and one with a 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one solvent molecule.
