In the title compound, 2C8H18NO3+·2C7H6NO2-·3H2O, proton transfer occurs from the carboxylic acid group of the 4-amino­benzoic acid (PABA) mol­ecule to the amine group of the macrocycle, resulting in the formation of a salt-like adduct. The anions are combined into helical chains which are further bound by the water mol­ecules into sheets. The macrocyclic cations are situated between these layers and are bound to the anions both directly and via bridging water mol­ecules. The structure exhibits a diverse system of hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was investigated as a part of study on D—H···A hydrogen bonding in systems containing biologically important molecules and macrocyclic ligands. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version?; Allen, 2002) revealed a list of p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) co-crystals, in neutral (Lynch et al., 1992b; Lynch & McClenaghan, 2001; Moreno-Fuquen et al., 2003), cationic (protonated on the amino group) (Benali-Cherif et al., 2002; Lynch et al., 1992a), and anionic forms (deprotonated on the carboxylic acid group) (Smith et al., 1999). Only three examples are known so far for PABA co-crystals with O-containing crown ethers, namely with 18-crown-6 (Elbasyouny et al., 1983) and with two cis-isomers of dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (Fonari et al., 1994), which revealed that both complexes are adducts with 1:2 stoichiometry, with the amino group of PABA responsible for the N—H···O crown hydrogen bonds. A robust dimeric carboxylic R22(8) homosynthon (Desiraju, 1995) was responsible for the PABA molecules associating into dimers. Here, we report the first example, (I), of a PABA co-crystal with the mixed N,O-macrocycle 1,4,7-trioxa-10-azacyclododecane.

Compound (I) is a salt-like adduct due to the protonation of the macrocycle by PABA molecules. The asymmetric unit contains two tight cation–anion pairs, designated as A and B, and three water molecules (Fig. 1). Molecular dimensions are unexceptional and are freely available via the archived CIF.

The macrocyclic cations have an exoendo orientation of the >NH2+ ammonium functionality, with one H atom being involved in the intramolecular bifurcated N—H···O hydrogen bond inside the macrocycle and the second H atom being involved in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding with the PABA anions. The macrocycles have slightly different conformations and shapes, with the heteroatoms being coplanar to within 0.39 Å in macrocycle A and 0.14 Å in macrocycle B. The mutual arrangement in the cation–anion units is described by the dihedral angle between the planes through the planar skeleton of PABA anions and four heteroatoms of the macrocycle, with values of 48.9 (1)° in unit A and 62.9 (1)° in unit B.

In the A and B cation–anion units, the components are held together through a pair of N—H(>NH2+)···O(COO-) and C—H···O(COO-) hydrogen bonds (Table 1). These N—H···O hydrogen bonds, with N2···O2 separations of 2.697 (2) and 2.735 (2) Å in units A and B, respectively, are the shortest of all those that sustain the structure. Each carboxylate functionality acts in a chelate mode via an R22(8) ring. This heterosynthon substitutes the planar robust centrosymmetric R22(8) homosynthon typical for two carboxylic groups. The environments of the macrocyclic cations are different in this structure, and whilst cation A does not have any direct contacts with water molecules, the water molecule O1W interacts with the B cation as a single H-donor and a single H-acceptor.

Although the mode of cation–anion interaction is similar in the A and B units, the structural functions of the A and B PABA anions are quite different in the supramolecular structure organization. PABA A anions are linked via N—H···O hydrogen bonds form a C(8) helical chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 2). Each PABA B anion, acting as a single H-donor and a single H-acceptor, links a pair of PABA A anions separated by the translation along the same direction, thus formulating the outer surface of the helix. Propagation of these four hydrogen bonds generates a chain of fused R44(22) rings. Water molecule O3W acts as a double hydrogen-bond donor to atom O1A at (x, y, z + 1) and atom O2B at (-x, y + 1/2, -z + 1), thus generating a second type of ring, R42(8), to stabilize the helix further (Fig. 2). Water molecule O2W acts as a single donor towards atom O1B at (-x, y + 1/2, -z + 1) and as a single acceptor towards atom N2B at (-x, y - 1/2, - z + 1), combining two neighbouring helices into a negative sheet via R66(26) fused rings (Fig. 2).

The negative sheets are linked into a continuous framework by the cations with the water molecules, which play a vital role in the association of the cationic and anionic components into a three-dimensional network. Three water molecules themselves formulate a three-membered water cluster, O3W···O1W···O2W, with O···O separations of 2.736 (3) and 2.846 (3) Å for units A and B, respectively, whose terminal members contact with PABA anions, while the bridging O1W water molecule is associated with the B macrocyclic cation via O1W···O5B and N1B···O1W hydrogen bonds (Table 1). Thus, the incorporation of the macrocyclic cations between the negative sheets occurs via direct cation–anion contacts (for A and B pairs) and via a mediating water molecule for the macrocyclic B cation (Fig. 3).

Experimental top

To obtain complex (I), 1,4,7-trioxa-10-azacyclododecane (175 mg, 0.1 mmol) and PABA (137 mg, 1 mmol) were dissolved in a water (1 ml)–methanol (5 ml) mixture at 337 K. The reaction mixture was then allowed to stand until crystals were deposited. These were filtered off and recrystallized from a mixture of methanol (2 ml), butanol (1 ml), ethyl acetate (2 ml) and heptane (2 ml) to give colourless [Yellow below?] crystals of (I) (m.p. 387–388 K). Analysis, calculated for C30H54N4O13: C 53.08, H 8.02, N 8.25%; found: C 53.02, H 8.09, N 8.30°. Spectroscopic analysis: 1H NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz, σ): 3.48 (m, 32H, CH2N, CH2O, aza-12-crown-4), 7.11 (m, 8H, CH, Ph).

Refinement top

C-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions, with C—H distances of 0.93 or 0.97 Å, and were treated using a riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). N– and O(water)-bound H atoms were determined from a difference Fourier map and were then allowed to refine isotropically subject to SADI restraint (SHELXL97; Sheldrick, 1997) for N—H and O—H distances in amino groups, ammonia groups and water molecules, and with an angular H—O—H DFIX restraint for the O2W molecule [H—H = 1.46 Å], as well as a floating origin restraint. In the absence of species of atomic number higher than that of O, no significant anomalous dispersion is observed. Therefore, Friedel pairs were merged using the MERG 4 instruction (SHELXL97); the Flack (1983) parameter is meaningless in this case and the absolute structure is indeterminate.

Thus, the incorporation of the macrocyclic cations between the negative sheets occurs via direct cation–anion contacts (for A and B pairs) and via a mediating water molecule for the macrocyclic B cation (Fig. 3).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
