The crystal structures of three polymorphs found for the addition complex of urea and barbituric acid are described and compared. Two polymorphs are monoclinic, space groups P21/c and Cc, whereas the third is triclinic, P\bar 1. The displacement of electron density towards the mesomeric forms, corresponding to the tautomeric forms of higher stability, of the barbituric acid molecule seem to influence the type of hydrogen bonds formed, which in turn determines the different packing topology in the polymorphs. While the polymorphic forms can be easily differentiated at the first-level graph-set analysis of their hydrogen-bonding patterns, a higher-level analysis enables important features of the mutual spatial arrangement of the structural components to be revealed.

The hydrogen-bond networks and crystal packing of 81 unique secondary di- and polyamides in the Cambridge Structural Database are investigated. Graph-set analysis, as implemented in the RPluto program, is used to classify network motifs. These have been rationalized in terms of the relative dispositions of the amide groups. Peptide and retropeptides exhibit significant conformational flexibility, which permits alternative hydrogen-bonding patterns. In peptides, dihedral angles of −ψ ≃ φ ≃ 105° allow an antiparallel ladder arrangement, containing rings of either the same or alternating sizes. For retropeptides, and diamides with an odd number of CH2 spacers, this conformation leads to a parallel ladder with rings of equal size. If φ approaches −60° and ψ 180°, ladders adopt a helical twist, and if the conformation is distorted further, a three-dimensional network is usually adopted. Diamides with aromatic or an even number of CH2 spacers generally form either antiparallel ladders or sheets, although some exhibit both polymorphs. Symmetry relationships within and between hydrogen-bonded chains, ladders and sheets in the crystal packing have also been analysed. Polyamides form considerably more complex networks, although many of the structural motifs present in the diamides occur as components of these networks.
