The cocrystal adducts of a number of carboxylic acids with organic heterocyclic bases have been prepared, and their structures and intermolecular interactions interpreted through X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structures of three of these compounds, the 1 : 1 adducts [{(2,4-dich1orophenoxy)acetic acid)(3-hydroxypyridine)] (1), [(2,4,6-trinitrobenzoie acid)(2-aminopyrimidine)] (2), and [(4-nitrobenzoic acid)(3-amino- 1,2,4-trimole)] (3), have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and refined to residuals R 0.026, 0.033 and 0.040 for 1814, 1531 and 727 observed reflections, respectively.

A number of molecular adducts of nitro-substituted aromatic acids with Lewis bases have been prepared and characterized by infrared spectroscopy and in three cases by X-ray diffraction methods. These three compounds are the adducts of: 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid (dnba) with N-methylaniline (nma), [(dnba)-(nma)+] (1); (4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (4-npa) with cyclohexane-1,4-diamine (dach), [(4-npa)22-(dach)2+] (4); 5-nitrosalicylic acid (5-nsa) with 2-imidazolidone (idaz), [(5-nsa)2(idaz)] (5). Other compounds are the adducts of 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid with 2,6-dimethylpyridine (dmp), [(dnba)(dnba)-(dmp)+] (2), and with 1-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid (cmp), [(dnba)-(cmp)+] (3). Compounds (1) and (3) have 1 : 1 stoichiometry, while (2), (4) and (5) are 2 : 1 adducts. Proton transfer occurs in most examples [complex (5) is the exception].

Abstract The tendency of forming mixed carboxyl-to-oxime hydrogen bonds was tested on the series of bornane derivatives: one with the acid function only (bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid), one with the oxime function (2,2′-diethylthiobomane-3-oxime), and one with both oxime and carboxylic functions (bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid). The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. In bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid and 2,2′-diethylthiobornane-3-oxime 'homogenic' hydrogen bonds were found, and these hydrogen bonds close eight-and six-membered rings, respectively. By contrast, in bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid 'heterogenic' hydrogen bonds between carboxylic and oxime bonds were found. This carboxylic-oxime, or 'carboxyoxime' system is almost always present in compounds which have both oxime and carboxylic groups; therefore it can be regarded as an element of supramolecular structures (synthon). The presence of such synthons can break the tendency of carboxylic acids and oximes towards crystallizing in centrosymmetric structures.

The molecular adducts of the heterocyclic base 2-aminopyrimidine with the aromatic and aromatic aliphatic carboxylic acids salicylic acid, 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 4-aminobenzoic acid, phenoxyacetic acid, (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, and (3,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid have been prepared, and their interactive modes characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. In addition, the complexes with (4-chlorophenoxy)acetic acid, (2,3-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid, (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid and (2,4,5- trichlorophenoxy)acetic acid have been characterized by analytical methods, including infrared spectroscopy. Except for the phenoxyacetic acid adduct (2:1), all form 1:1 molecular associations in which the carboxylic acid shows a variable tendency to protonate the hetero nitrogen of the base. The 1:1 complex of 2-aminopyridine with 2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid has also been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

The crystal structures of three geotropically active phthalamic acid derivatives have been determined by means of X-ray diffraction and the structural systematics for the series compared. The three acids are conformationally similar and, in contrast to the tendency among carboxylic acids to form hydrogen-bonded dimers, they exist as monomers with intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the carboxylic acid groups and the nitrogen or oxygen of the amide side chains.

A series of molecular adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine and 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with heterocyclic carboxylic acids have been prepared and characterized by using X-ray powder diffraction and in four cases by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. These four compounds are the (1 : 1) adducts of 2-aminopyrimidine with indole-3-acetic acid [(C4H5N3)(C10H9NO2)], N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C6H7NO2)] and thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C4H5N3)(C5H4O2S)], and the (1 : 1) adduct of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with thiophen-2-carboxylic acid [(C2H4N4)(C5H4O2S)]. Other compounds described are the (1 : 1) adducts of 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole with indole-3-acetic acid and N-methylpyrrole-2-carboxylic acid.

The crystal structures of (2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy)acetic acid (1), diaquabis [(2-formyl-6-methoxyphenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (2), tetraaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]zinc(11) (3), triaquabis [(2-chlorophenoxy) acetato ]cadmium(11) dihydrate (4) and lithium (2-chloro- phenoxy )acetate 1.5 hydrate (5) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The acid (1) forms centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers [O…0, 2.677(6) �] which are non-planar. Complex (2) is six-coordinate with two waters [Zn- Ow , 1.997(2) �] and four oxygens from two asymmetric bidentate carboxyl groups [Zn-O, 2.073, 2.381(2) �] completing a skew trapezoidal bipyramidal stereochemistry. Complex (5) is also six-coordinate but is octahedral, with two trans-related unidentate carboxyl oxygens [mean Zn-O, 2.134(9) �] and four waters [mean Zn-O, 2.081(9) �]. The seven-coordinate complex (4) has crystallographic twofold rotational symmetry relating two :symmetric bidentate acid ligands [ Cd -O, 2.26, 2 48(:) �] and two waters [ Cd -O, 2.34(2) �] while the third water lies on this axis [ Cd -O, 2.27(2) �]. In contrast to the monomers (2)-(4), complex (5) is polymeric with tetrahedral lithium coordinated to one water and three carboxylate oxygens [mean Li-0, 1.95(1) �]. The essential conformation of the free acid is retained in complexes (2), (3) and (4) but in (5), it is considerably changed.

Six molecular complexes containing the herbicidally active (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-d) and (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4,5-t) have been prepared and studied by using single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. These adduct structures are 2,4-d with 4,4′-dipyridine (2 : 1 complex), and 2,4,5-t with respectively 5-nitroquinoline (1 : 1), 4,4′-dipyridine (2 : 1), 2-amino-2-thiazoline (1 : 1), 2-aminobenzothiazole (1 : 1) and 2-amino-5-ethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (1 : 1). The conformations of the phenoxyacetic acid molecules were found to be either synclinal (in three cases) or antiperiplanar (in the other three cases). A general review is also made about the conformational aspects of previously reported adducts of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives and how they compare to their free acid structures.

In solid-state engineering, cocrystallization is a strategy actively pursued for pharmaceuticals. Two 1:1 cocrystals of 5-fluorouracil (5FU; systematic name: 5-fluoro-1,3-dihydropyrimidine-2,4-dione), namely 5-fluorouracil–5-bromothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), C5H3BrO2S·C4H3FN2O2, (I), and 5-fluorouracil–thiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1/1), C4H3FN2O2·C5H4O2S, (II), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. In both cocrystals, carboxylic acid molecules are linked through an acid–acid R 2 2(8) homosynthon (O—H...O) to form a carboxylic acid dimer and 5FU molecules are connected through two types of base pairs [homosynthon, R 2 2(8) motif] via a pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structures are further stabilized by C—H...O interactions in (II) and C—Br...O interactions in (I). In both crystal structures, π–π stacking and C—F...π interactions are also observed.

A series of 1:1 molecular adducts of triphenylphosphine oxide ( tppo ) with substituted phenoxyacetic acids has been prepared and characterized by using infrared, solid-state 1H and 31P n.m.r. spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction methods. The crystal structure of one of these, with the herbicidally active (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid ( mcpa ),[( tppo )( mcpa )], has been determined by X-ray diffraction methods. This compound is isomorphous with the tppo adduct of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid. The title compound has two independent and different molecular adducts in the asymmetric unit each with strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between the carboxylic acid proton and the phosphoryl oxygen of tppo [O...O, 2.579, 2.647(9)Ǻ].
