An aqueous solution (10 ml) containing 4,4'-bpy (0.1 mmol, 15.6 mg) and H3HMA·2H2O (0.1 mmol, 24.6 mg) was placed in a Teflon-lined stainless steel vessel (20 ml) under autogenous pressure; the vessel was heated to 413 K for 72 h and then cooled to room temperature at a rate of 5 K h−1. The reaction mixture was filtered, and colorless block-shaped crystals were collected by slow evaporation of the solvent (yield 37%). Analysis calculated for C19H14N2O6: C 62.30, H 3.85, N 7.65%; found: C 63.36, H 4.41, N 7.19%. IR (KBr pellet, cm−1): 3589 (w), 3286 (w), 3064 (w), 2303 (m), 2233 (w), 2168 (vs), 1639 (w), 1612 (w), 1574 (s), 1536 (vs), 1484 (m), 1417 (w), 1364 (s), 1219 (w), 1159 (w), 1059 (w), 1014 (w), 849 (w), 720 (w), 697 (m), 602 (w), 517 (w).
All H atoms were visible in difference maps. C-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions, with C—H distances of 0.93 Å, and refined as riding atoms. O-bound H atoms were refined as rigid groups, allowed to rotate but not tip. Isotropic displacement parameters were derived from the parent atoms [Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and 1.5Ueq(O)].

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. |

One of the most important targets in crystal engineering is the rational design and preparation of molecular architectures with desired topologies and functions (Brammer, 2004; Steiner, 2002). The aromatic carboxylic acid family is widely used as versatile building blocks in either coordination polymer synthesis (Yaghi et al., 2003) or the generation of hydrogen-bonding arrays of organic cocrystals (Bowers et al., 2005). Surprisingly, hemimellitic acid (H3HMA, benzene-1,2,3-tricarboxylic acid) has received little attention from supramolecular scientists (Dale et al., 2004) compared with its well known isomer H3TMA (benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid). To the best of our knowledge, there is no example of H3HMA being introduced to bimolecular cocrystal formation.
In contrast, 4,4'-bipyridine (hereafter 4,4'-bpy) has been investigated in all branches of crystal engineering, from coordination polymers (Hagraman et al., 1999) to non-covalent hydrogen-bonding adducts (Ruiz-Perez et al., 2004). Whenever 4,4'-bpy takes part in the formation of cocrystals with organic molecules containing carboxyl groups, O—H···N hydrogen bonds are conventionally formed (Du et al., 2005). We have used H3HMA, which contains robust hydrogen-bonding sites, to cocrystallize with the rigid base 4,4'-bpy, affording a binary compound, [(H3HMA).(4,4'-bpy)], (I), which adopts a pillar-layered hydrogen-bonding architecture.
The structure analysis of (I) reveals a 1:1 stiochiometry, which is not consistent with the ratio of hydrogen-bonding donor and acceptor sites; the asymmetric unit of (I), which contains one formula unit, is depicted in Fig. 1. Bond lengths and angles agree with accepted values. Within each 4,4'-bpy subunit, the dihedral angle between the rings is 31.1 (1)°. For the H3HMA component, the 2-carboxyl group (O3—C18—O4) presents an anti-planar conformation (Leiserowitz, 1976), in which the H atom is located in an anti orientation with respect to the –COO group; the 1- and 3-carboxyl groups (O1—C17—O2 and O5—C19—O6) adopt a trans arrangement in relation to the central phenyl ring. The 2-carboxyl group lies approximately perpendicular to the phenyl plane, making a dihedral angle of 100.3 (2)°, which is comparable to that in the structures of H3HMA dihydrate (Mo & Adman, 1975), its 2-methyl ester (Dale & Elsegood, 2003) and its dimethylformamide solvate (Dale & Elsegood, 2004).
The hydrogen-bond geometries and symmetry codes are listed in Table 2. The three carboxyl groups in each H3HMA molecule display different hydrogen-bonding modes. The terminal carboxyl group at atom C13 forms intermolecular interactions with the 4,4'-bpy molecule via strong O6—H6···N2i hydrogen bonds, while the carboxyl moiety at atom C11 (or C12) forms a unique `double hydrogen-bonded bridge' [referring to the linkage of two related carboxyl groups by a pair of O—H···O hydrogen bonds, denoted as R22(4); see Fig. 2] via a pair of O1—H1···O1ii (or O4—H4···O4iii) interactions, instead of engendering O—H···N bonds to N1 of the base subunit. Thus, the acid molecules are linked to afford a one-dimensional zigzag chain parallel to [001], and the 4,4'-bpy building blocks are located around this chain to produce a ladder-shaped motif (see Fig. 2). With respect to the acid molecules only, the C15—H15···O2iv interactions connects the adjacent zigzag acid chains into a two-dimensional corrugated layer. By a combination of the O—H···N bonds and additional weak C—H···O interactions, including C3—H3···O3v, C8—H8···O2, C8—H8···O1ii and C9—H8···O3vi, between the base pillar and neighboring acid layer, a three-dimensional pillar-layered hydrogen-bonded architecture is generated (Fig. 3). Examination of this structure with PLATON (Spek, 2003) showed that there were no solvent-accessible voids in the crystal structure.
Heteromeric intermolecular interactions are powerful synthetic tools for the formation of acid/base binary cocrystals. The hydrogen-bonding motifs in these compounds are always consistent with Etter's analysis (Etter, 1990) of hierarchical rules, that is, the best hydrogen-bond donor and the best hydrogen-bond acceptor will preferentially form stable hydrogen bonds. The most common case occurs between a pyridyl N atom and a carboxyl group (Du et al., 2005). However, in (I), pyridyl atom N1 does not form such a heteromeric bond with any carboxyl groups, nor is there even a possible C—H···N weak interaction. Instead, unusual `double hydrogen-bonded bridges' as described above are observed between the carboxyl groups. A CSD search (Cambridge Structural Database; Version 5.26 of November 2004, plus two updates) was carried out using CONQUEST Version 1.7 (Allen, 2002) to investigate the general robustness of such double hydrogen-bonded bridges. 40 related examples were identified (those structures with R1 > 0.1, as well as organometallic entries, were discarded). More details for the target O—H···O interactions are as follows: (i) H···O distances are found to range between 1.55 and 1.98 Å, while the mean value is ca 1.77 Å; (ii) the O···O distances lie between 2.44 and 2.76 Å, and the mean value is ca 2.56 Å; (c) most of the O—H···O angles (37 cases among the 40 search results) lie in the range 154–178°, with a mean value of 168°. All related values in this structure are comparable to the above analysis.
