Probing atomic level structural transformation in O–H⋯N heterosynthon crystal

Abstract: Structural changes of resorcinol (res) and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)-ethylene (bpe) co-crystals during [2 + 2] photodimerization were monitored by means of single crystal X-ray analysis. The crystals lost their integrity with increasing conversion indicating an interesting case of a non-ideal single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation. The 2(bpe) : 2(res) heterosynthon yielded two different polymorphs upon photodimerization, i.e. the dimer obtained via single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformation (as-di… Show more

“…1,2‐Bis(4’‐ pyridyl)ethylene (bpe) is a commonly used spacer which has been employed in a number of studies for the construction of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers, in which the juxtaposed two C=C double bonds tended to convert into cyclobutane rings under UV irradiation conditions . Discrete hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular assemblies obtained from cocrystallization of resorcinol and olefin‐containing carboxylic acids have also been found to facilitate [2 + 2] photodimerization . The C=C double bonds in such hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular assemblies are arranged in a parallel fashion with an appropriate π…π stacking.…”

“…The co-crystals were designed according to the availability of specific supramolecular synthons and are mainly based on the robust {OH···O} synthon though in case of p -amino-benzoic acid the {OH···NH 2 } synthon was identified. Since nicotinamide and its stereoisomer isonicotinamide contain CONH 2 and N aromatic functional groups, the likely resulting co-crystals may exhibit {OH···O}, {OH···NH 2 }, or {OH···N aromatic } synthons where the latter is a particularly versatile supramolecular unit for crystal engineering applications. In addition, salt co-crystals with concomitant presence of NCL both as neutral component and as salt co-former (derived from salification of NCL with inorganic salts) as well as mixed solvate/hydrate salts of NCL were very recently reported . The latter partially included the solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which in view of the identified brain degeneration due to apoptosis in the central nervous system induced by DMSO already at low doses of 0.3 mL/kg appears pharmaceutically questionable .…”

“…Co-crystallization of res with 4,4′-AP or 4,4′-BPE was achieved by dissolving the two components (1:1 molar ratio) separately in ethanol, combining the solutions into one vial, and allowing the solution to evaporate slowly. Similar methods have been used to produce hydrogen-bonded co-crystals involving these components; however, the pedal motion at various temperatures and the thermal expansion parameters were not investigated. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction formed within 2 days.…”
