Co-crystallization of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine with 4-methylbenzoic acid and with benzene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid yields the salts 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-ium 4-methylbenzoate monohydrate, C11H17N2O+·C8H7O2
−·H2O (I), and bis[4-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazin-1-ium] benzene-1,2-dicarboxylate, 2C11H17N2O+·C8H4O4
2− (II). These salts both crystallize with Z′ = 2, in space groups P\overline{1} and Pna21, respectively. In compound (I), a combination of four O—H...O, four N—H...O, one C—H...O and one C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds link the six independent components into complex sheets, within which the two piperazine rings, the two anions, and the two water molecules are related by an approximate, non-crystallographic translation along the b-axis direction. In compound (II), sheets containing R

12(38) rings are formed by the combined action of eight independent N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.
Crystal structures are reported for two molecular salts containing the 4-(4-nitrophenyl)piperazin-1-ium cation. Co-crystallization from methanol/ethyl acetate solution of N-(4-nitrophenyl)piperazine with benzoic acid gives the benzoate salt, which crystallizes as a monohydrate, C10H14N3O2·C7H5O2·H2O, (I), and similar co-crystallization with 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid yields the 2-carboxy-4,6-dinitrophenolate salt, C10H14N3O2·C7H3N2O7, (II). In the structure of (I), a combination of O—H...O, N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the components into sheets, while in the structure of (II), the supramolecular assembly, generated by hydrogen bonds of the same types as in (I), is three dimensional. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
