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.

The crystal structures of sodium ethoxide (sodium ethanolate, NaOEt), sodium n-propoxide (sodium n-propanolate, NaO n Pr), sodium n-butoxide (sodium n-butanolate, NaO n Bu) and sodium n-pentoxide (sodium n-amylate, NaO n Am) were determined from powder X-ray diffraction data. NaOEt crystallizes in space group P 421 m, with Z = 2, and the other alkoxides crystallize in P4/nmm, with Z = 2. To resolve space-group ambiguities, a Bärnighausen tree was set up, and Rietveld refinements were performed with different models. In all structures, the Na and O atoms form a quadratic net, with the alkyl groups pointing outwards on both sides (anti-PbO type). The alkyl groups are disordered. The disorder becomes even more pronounced with increasing chain length. Recrystallization from the corresponding alcohols yielded four sodium alkoxide solvates: sodium ethoxide ethanol disolvate (NaOEt·2EtOH), sodium n-propoxide n-propanol disolvate (NaO n Pr·2 n PrOH), sodium isopropoxide isopropanol pentasolvate (NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH) and sodium tert-amylate tert-amyl alcohol monosolvate (NaO t Am· t AmOH, t Am = 2-methyl-2-butyl). Their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All these solvates form chain structures consisting of Na+, –O− and –OH groups, encased by alkyl groups. The hydrogen-bond networks diverge widely among the solvate structures. The hydrogen-bond topology of the i PrOH network in NaO i Pr·5 i PrOH shows branched hydrogen bonds and differs considerably from the networks in pure crystalline i PrOH.

The crystal structures of piperazinium tetrahalogenometallates (II) [C4H12N2]MX4(M = Zn, Hg; X = Br, I), orthorhombic with space group P212121 and Z = 4 are isostructural with [C4H12N2]CdI4. The structure consists of piperazinium cations and isolated tetrahedralMX4 anions. [C4H12N2]ZnBr4 (1): a = 850.4(2), b = 1146.5(3), and c = 1228.4(4) pm at 300(2) K, [C4H12N2]ZnI4 (2): a = 886.89(6), b = 1209.11(9), and c = 1293.79(9) pm at 223(2) K, [C4H12N2]HgBr4 (3): a = 865.48(14), b = 1158.7(3), and c = 1233.3(2) pm at 293(2) K, [C4H12N2]HgI4 (4): a = 899.6(2), b = 1230.0(2), and c = 1299.5(3) pm at 293(2) K. All crystals show a structural phase transition at about 560 K and decomposition temperatures above 600 K. The lattice stability of the crystals is well explained by N-H · · · X hydrogen bond networks.

For lithium halides, LiX (X = Cl, Br and I), hydrates with a water content of 1, 2, 3 and 5 moles of water per formula unit are known as phases in aqueous solid–liquid equilibria. The crystal structures of the monohydrates of LiCl and LiBr are known, but no crystal structures have been reported so far for the higher hydrates, apart from LiI·3H2O. In this study, the crystal structures of the di- and trihydrates of lithium chloride, lithium bromide and lithium iodide, and the pentahydrates of lithium chloride and lithium bromide have been determined. In each hydrate, the lithium cation is coordinated octahedrally. The dihydrates crystallize in the NaCl·2H2O or NaI·2H2O type structure. Surprisingly, in the tri- and pentahydrates of LiCl and LiBr, one water molecule per Li+ ion remains uncoordinated. For LiI·3H2O, the LiClO4·3H2O structure type was confirmed and the H-atom positions have been fixed. The hydrogen-bond networks in the various structures are discussed in detail. Contrary to the monohydrates, the structures of the higher hydrates show no disorder.

AbstractThe crystal structures of [C2H5NH3]4InBr7(1), [C(NH2)3]3InBr6(2), and [H3NCH2C(CH3)2CH2NH3]InBr5(3) were determined at 100(2) K: monoclinic, P21/n, a=1061.94(3), b=1186.40(4), c=2007.88(7) pm, β= 104.575(1)°, Z=4 for 1; monoclinic, C2/c, a=3128.81(12), b=878.42(3), c=2816.50(10) pm, β=92.1320(10)°, Z=16 for 2; orthorhombic, P212121, a=1250.33(5), b=1391.46(6), c=2503.22(9) pm, Z=4 for 3. The structure of 1 contains an isolated octahedral [InBr6]3− ion and a Br− ion. The structure of 2 contains three different isolated octahedral [InBr6]3− ions. The structure of 3 has a corner-shared double-octahedral [In2Br11]5− ion and an isolated tetrahedral [InBr4]− ion. The 81Br nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) lines of the terminal Br atoms of the compounds are widely spread in frequency, and some of them show unusual positive temperature dependence. These observations manifest the N−H···Br−In hydrogen bond networks developed between the cations and anions to stabilize the crystal structures. The 81Br NQR and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements have revealed the occurrence of unique phase transitions in 1 and 3. When the bond angles were estimated from the electric field gradient (EFG) directions calculated by the molecular orbital (MO) methods, accurate values were obtained for [InBr6]3− of 1 and for [In2Br11]5− and [InBr4]− of 3, except for several exceptions in those for the latter two ions. On the other hand, the calculations of 81Br NQR frequencies have produced up to 1.4 times higher values than the observed ones.

A computer program has been developed to survey a set of crystal structures for hydrogen-bond motifs. Possible ring and chain motifs are generated automatically from a user-defined list of interacting molecular fragments and intermolecular interactions. The new program was used to analyse the hydrogen-bond networks in the crystals of 52 zwitterionic α-amino acids. All the possible chain motifs (repeating 1–4 molecules) are frequent, while the frequency of ring motifs (2–6 molecules) ranges from 0 to 85% of the structures. The list of motifs displayed by each structure reveals structural similarities and it can be used to compare polymorphs. The motifs formed in cocrystals of α-amino acids and in crystals of β- and γ-amino acids are similar to those of α-amino acids.
