The new organic salt, 2-aminobenzoxazol-3-ium 3-carboxyprop-2-enoate, C7H7N2O+·C4H3O4 −, of the two bioactive compounds 2-aminobenzoxazole and fumaric acid, crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca using classical evaporation of their solution in water. The usual topological analysis revealed four classical (N—H...O and O—H...O) and two non-classical (C—H...O) hydrogen bonds in the structure. Stacking was found as well for a pair of 2-aminobenzoxazolium cations. A Hirshfeld surface analysis including the two-dimensional fingerprint plots was performed to define the residual π–π interactions and to quantify the influences of different types of interactions by means of topological analysis. Analysis of the pairwise interaction energies was used to prove the formation of the corrugated paired layers of cation–anion dimers parallel to the plane (001) as a basic structural motif in the topological, as well as in the energetic structure of the crystal. It showed that the layers are connected by the hydrogen bonds inside and by stacking and π–π interactions and general dispersion between them.
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.
