The crystal structures of isostructural 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate tetrahydrate salts of nickel(II) and cobalt(II) have been determined using Monte Carlo simulated annealing techniques and laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. These compounds crystallize in the triclinic space groupP\bar{1}, withZ= 2;a= 10.0851 (4),b= 10.9429 (5),c= 6.2639 (3) Å, α = 98.989 (2), β = 87.428 (3), γ = 108.015 (2)°,V= 649.32 (5) Å3for [Ni(C12H6O4)(H2O)4], anda= 10.1855 (6),b= 10.8921 (6),c= 6.2908 (5) Å, α = 98.519 (4), β = 87.563 (4), γ = 108.304 (3)°,V= 655.28 (8) Å3for [Co(C12H6O4)(H2O)4]. The water-molecule H atoms were located by quantum chemical geometry optimization usingCASTEP. The structure consists of alternating hydrocarbon and metal/oxygen layers parallel to theacplane. Each naphthalenedicarboxylate anion bridges two metal cations; each carboxyl group is monodentate. The resulting structure contains infinite chains parallel to [111]. The octahedral coordination sphere of the metal cations containstranscarboxylates and four equatorial water molecules. The carboxyl groups are rotated by 15–20° out of the naphthalene plane. The metal/oxygen layers are characterized by an extensive hydrogen-bonding network. The orientations of the carboxyl groups are determined by the formation of short (O...O = 2.53 Å) hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl O atoms and theciswater molecules. Molecular mechanics energy minimizations suggest that coordination and hydrogen-bonding interactions are most important in determining the crystal packing.

In the structure of the title compound, [Sr(C7H3NO4)(H2O)2] n , the SrII cation is eight-coordinated in form of a distorted dodecahedron by two water O atoms and by five O atoms and one N atom from five pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate anions. The bridging mode of the anions leads to the formation of a layered network parallel to (100). O—H...O hydrogen bonding between the coordinating water molecules and the carboxylate groups of adjacent layers consolidates the crystal packing. Weak C—H...O interactions are also observed.

The structural and thermodynamic backgrounds for the crystallization behaviour of racemates have been investigated using 2-phenoxypropionic acid (PPA) as an example. The racemate of PPA behaves normally and forms a racemic compound that has a higher melting point and is denser than the enantiomer. Low-temperature crystal structures of the pure enantiomer, the enantiomer cocrystallized with n-alkanes and the racemic acid showed that hydrogen-bonded dimers that form over crystallographic symmetry elements exist in all but the structure of the pure enantiomer. A database search for optically pure chiral mono-carboxylic acids revealed that the hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimer is the most prevalent hydrogen-bond motif in chiral mono-carboxylic acids. The conformation of PPA depends on the hydrogen-bond motif; the antiplanar conformation relative to the ether group is associated with a catemer hydrogen-bonding motif, whereas the more abundant synplanar conformation is found in crystals that contain cyclic dimers. Other intermolecular interactions that involve the substituent of the carboxylic group were identified in the crystals that contain the cyclic dimer. This result shows how important the nature of the substituent is for the crystal packing. The differences in crystal packing have been related to differences in melting enthalpy and entropy between the racemic and enantiomeric acids. In a comparison with the equivalent 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)-propionic acids, the differences between the crystal structures of the chloro and the unsubstituted acid have been identified and related to thermodynamic data.

New crystalline adducts of tetraalkylammonium terephthalate/trimesate with urea and water molecules result from hydrogen-bond directed assembly of complementary acceptors and donors, and the anionic host lattices are described using the graph-set notation to identify distinct hydrogen-bonding motifs and patterns. Tetra-n-butylammonium terephthalate–urea–water (1/6/2), C46H104N14O12 (1), triclinic, space group P1¯, a = 8.390 (2), b = 9.894 (2), c = 18.908 (3) Å, α = 105.06 (2), β = 94.91 (1), γ = 93.82 (2)°, Z = 1, is composed of hydrogen-bonded terephthalate–urea layers, which are intersected by urea layers to generate a three-dimensional network containing large channels for accommodation of the cations. Tetraethylammonium terephthalate–urea–water (1/1/5), C25H58N4O10 (2), triclinic, P1¯, a = 9.432 (1), b = 12.601 (1), c = 14.804 (1) Å, α = 79.98 (1), β = 79.20 (1), γ = 84.18 (1)°, Z = 2, has cations sandwiched between hydrogen-bonded anionic layers.

Metal selenates crystallize in many instances in isomorphic structures of the corresponding sulfates. Sodium magnesium selenate decahydrate, Na2Mg(SeO4)2·10H2O, and sodium magnesium selenate dihydrate, Na2Mg(SeO4)2·2H2O, were synthesized by preparing solutions of Na2SeO4 and MgSeO4·6H2O with different molar ratios. The structures contain different Mg octahedra, i.e. [Mg(H2O)6] octahedra in the decahydrate and [MgO4(H2O)2] octahedra in the dihydrate. The sodium polyhedra are also different, i.e. [NaO2(H2O)4] in the decahydrate and [NaO6(H2O)] in the dihydrate. The selenate tetrahedra are connected with the chains of Na polyhedra in the two structures. O—H...O hydrogen bonding is observed in both structures between the coordinating water molecules and selenate O atoms.

The crystal structures of the diastereoisomers formed between the hydrogen-D-tartrate anion and the cations (+)-(Λ-[Co(en)2(NO2)2]+ (1) and (-)-(Δ)-[Co(en)2(NO2)2]+ (2) have been determined by three-dimensional X-ray analysis. The crystal structures are comprised of octahedrally coordinated cobalt atoms, hydrogentartrate anions and water molecules interconnected by a complex hydrogen bonding network. In (1), columns of complex parallel to a 21 screw axis along a, are linked via hydrogen bonding contacts to a total of six chains of 'head-to-tail' hydrogentartrate strands. In contrast, in (2) the chains of hydrogentartrate anions associate with each other to form well defined 'walls' which sandwich hydrogen-bonded columns of complex cations such that the structure may be thought of as a layer structure of hydrogentartrate anions and complex cations. Crystals of both compounds are orthorhombic, space group P212121 with Z = 4, unit cell parameters for (1): a 7.670(1), b 12.160(1), c 18.028(1)Ǻ, V 1681.4 Ǻ3 and for (2): a 7.735(2), b 8.505(5), c 26.846(9) Ǻ, V 1766 1 Ǻ3. The structures were each refined by a full-matrix least-squares procedure to final R 0.026, Rw 0.027 for 1764 reflections with I ≥ 2.5σ(I) for (1) and R 0.065, Rw 0.073 for 1322 reflections for (2).

The crystal structures of two compounds containing enaminone heterodiene systems and forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds N-H·O are reported: 1) 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-4-pyridone (hereafter ETPY) and 2) 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-phenyl-6-methoxycarbonyl-5,6-di-hydro-4-pyridone (hereafter EPPY). The crystal packing is controlled by intermolecular hydro­ gen bonds N-H·O = C connecting the heteroconjugated enaminone groups in infinite chains. In ETPY crystals the intermolecular hydrogen bond involves the heterodienic pathway with the highest π-delocalization that is effective for a very short N·O distance of 2.701(9) Å (average from two molecules in the asymmetric unit). Probably due to the steric hindrance, the hydrogen bond in EPPY is formed following the heterodienic pathway that involves the ester C = O group, although π-delocalization along this pathway is less than that along the pyridone-part pathway resulting in a longer N·O distance of 2.886(3) Å

AbstractThe crystal structures of six novel salts of 4-nitrobenzoic acid — namely, 2-hydroxyethylammonium 4-nitrobenzoate (I), 2-hydroxypropylammonium 4-nitrobenzoate (II), 1-(hydroxymethyl)propylammonium 4-nitrobenzoate (III), 3-hydroxypropylammonium 4-nitrobenzoate (IV), bis-(2-hydroxyethylammonium) 4-nitrobenzoate (V), morpholinium 4-nitrobenzoate (VI) — containing the same anion but different cations have been studied. The ionic forms of I-VI serve as building blocks of the supramolecular architecture, and in crystals they are held together via ionic N-H···O and O-H···O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal packing the building blocks of I-III are self-assembled via N-H...O, O-H···O and C-H...O hydrogen bonds to form the chains which are further consolidated into two-dimensional layers by the same type of interactions. In IV-VI the chain-like structures have been generated by building blocks.

The crystal structures of M(C8H4O4)(H2O)2, M = Mg, Mn, Fe and Co, have been determined by applying Monte Carlo simulated annealing techniques to synchrotron powder diffraction data and refined by the Rietveld method using both synchrotron and laboratory powder data. These isostructural compounds crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with 18.2734 (9) ≤ a ≤ 18.7213 (13), 6.5186 (13) ≤ b ≤ 6.5960 (4), 7.2968 ≤ c ≤ 7.4034 (6) Å, 98.653 (2) ≤ β ≤ 99.675 (1)° and Z = 4. The structure consists of alternating layers (perpendicular to a) of terephthalate anions and octahedrally coordinated metal cations. The octahedra are isolated; each carboxylate bridges two metal cations. The equatorial metal coordination consists of four terephthalate O atoms and there are two axial water molecules. Both water-molecule H atoms participate in normal-strength hydrogen bonds to carboxylate O atoms. Quantum chemical calculations (using CASTEP) were used to determine the H-atom positions and analyze the hydrogen bonding and the metal coordination. Both the atomic charges and the M—O bond-overlap populations indicate that, despite the fact that these compounds are isostructural, the metal–terephthalate bonding is different. The bonding in the Mg complex is essentially ionic, while the M—O bonds in the Mn, Fe and Co complexes have significant covalent character. Comparison of a new Rietveld refinement of the structure of copper(II) terephthalate trihydrate with the reported single-crystal structure provides an opportunity to assess the accuracy and precision that can be expected from structures of aromatic carboxylates determined using X-ray powder data. The average difference between the bond distances in the two structures is 0.03 Å and the average difference in bond angles is only 1.1°.
