“…The potential of 5-SSA as an anion or dianion in self-assembly processes can be attributed largely to the presence of the interactive sulfonate, carboxylic acid and phenolic functional groups which are capable of acting both as proton donors and acceptors in hydrogen-bonding interactions. We have prepared and crystallographically characterized a series of structures of these aromatic Lewis base salts, including those with the 4-X-substituted anilines (X = F, Cl, Br [7], CO 2 H [8]), 3-aminobenzoic acid [9], 3-methoxyaniline [10], benzylamine [11], the 2-X-substituted pyridines (X = NH 2 , OH) [12] and pyrimidine (X = NH 2 ) [12], the aromatic polyamines (2,6-diaminopyridine and 1,4-phenylenediamine) [13] and bicyclic heteroaromatic amines (quinoline, 8-aminoquinoline, 8-hydroxyquinoline and quinaldic acid) [3]. There have also been a large number of additional structures of aromatic amine salts of 5-SSA reported up until the present time, including those of simple monocyclic heteroaromatic amines [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], polycyclic heteroaromatic amines [25][26][27][28] and complex amines [29][30][31].…”
