Equimolar quantities of tet-a (Hay et al., 1975) and (S)-malic acid (purchased from Aldrich) were separately dissolved in methanol. The solutions were mixed, and the mixture was set aside to crystallize, providing analytically pure (I). Analysis found: C 54.7, H 11.0, N 11.7%; C22H50N4O7 requires: C 54.7, H 10.4, N 11.6%. Crystals of (I) suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were selected directly from the sample as prepared.
Crystals of (I) are triclinic, and space group P1 was chosen as the acid component used was enantiopure (S)-malic acid. The anion is disordered over a major and a minor orientation, with refined occupancies of 0.702 (8) and 0.298 (8). Standard DFIX (SHELXL97; Sheldrick, 1997) restraints were used for the dimensions of the disordered anion. The atoms of the minor anion were refined with a common Uiso value, and all other non-H atoms were refined anisotropically. H atoms were visible in difference maps and were subsequently treated as riding atoms with C—H distances 0.98 (CH3), 0.99 (CH2) or 1.00 Å (CH) and N—H distances of 0.92 and O—H 0.84 Å. The cation was positioned so that it lies with its centre at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) and the anion is then centred approximately at (1.0, 1.0, 1/2). In the absence of any significant anomalous scattering, the Flack parameter (Flack, 1983) was indeterminate (Flack & Bernardinelli, 2000). Hence the Friedel equivalents were merged prior to the final refinements, and the absolute structure was set by reference to the known chirality of the enantiopure acid employed.

In the salt-type adducts formed between meso-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane (tet-a, C16H36N4) and phenols or carboxylic acids, the [{(C16H36N4)H2}2+] cations generally lie across centres of inversion (Gregson et al., 2000; Lough et al., 2000; Burchell et al., 2000; Bowes et al., 2003a,b). An exception occurs in the salt formed with 5-hydroxyisophthalic acid, where the cation lies in a general position in space group P212121 (Burchell et al., 2000). In all of these examples the cation adopts the trans-III configuration (Barefield et al., 1986) and, even in the 5-hydroxyisophthalate salt, the cation is very nearly centrosymmetric.
We have now investigated an example in which a non-centrosymmetric cation environment is specifically imposed by the presence of an enantiopure chiral acid component, chosen in this case to be (S)-malic acid [(S)-2-hydroxy-butane-1,4-dioic acid, C4H6O5]. The 1:1 salt formed by tet-a and (S)-malic acid crystallizes from methanol solution as a solvate [{(C16H36N4)H2}2+].[(C4H4O5)2−]·2(CH3OH), (I), in space group P1, so that none of the components has any internal crystallographic symmetry. The presence of the chiral anion precludes any further symmetry.
The fully ordered cation adopts the usual trans-III configuration (Fig. 1), with four methyl groups in equatorial sites and two in axial sites, and with paired intracation N—H···N hydrogen bonds generating an R22(10) motif (Bernstein et al., 1995). There is almost perfect staggering about all of the C—C and C—N bonds in the cation, and the values of the torsion angles are clearly indicative of the near-centrosymmetric conformation of the cation (Table 1). There are four axial N—H bonds available for intermolecular hydrogen-bond formation, viz. two on each face of the disk-like cation.
The anion, by contrast, exhibits orientational disorder, which was modelled using two sets of atomic sites with refined occupancies of 0.702 (8) and 0.298 (8) (Fig. 2). This disorder is such that the O22 and O32 atom sites are very close to one another, as are the O23 and O33 sites. Accordingly, the interion hydrogen bonding is very similar for the two orientations, and hence only the major orientation will be considered further. The anion disorder observed in (I) is similar to that observed for the racemic tartrate anions (C4H5O6)− in the salt with the monocation derived from 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethene (Farrell et al., 2002a). Within the anion there is an O—H···O hydrogen bond, forming an S(6) motif, and this bond undoubtedly plays a role in controlling the anion conformation (Fig. 1 and Table 2).
The ionic components within the asymmetric unit are linked by paired N—H···O hydrogen bonds. Atoms N4 and N8 act as hydrogen-bond donors, via the axial H4 and H8A atoms, respectively, to carboxylate atoms O22 and O21, so generating an R22(10) motif (Fig. 1) of precisely the same type as that observed in the tetrahydrate salt formed between the tet-a cation and the terephthalate anion (Lough et al., 2000). The two independent methanol molecules are linked to the anion via O—H···O hydrogen bonds, both having a carboxylate O atom as the acceptor.
Despite the large number of hydrogen bonds within the asymmetric unit, the supramolecular structure depends on just one further pair of N—H···O hydrogen bonds. Atoms N1 and N11 in the cation at (x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors, via H1B and H11, respectively, to carboxylate atoms O23 and O24 in the anion at (−1 + x, −1 + y, z), so generating by translation a chain of rings (Fig. 3) running parallel to the [110] direction. The methanol molecules are simply pendent from this chain and play no further role in the supramolecular aggregation. The only significant direction-specific interaction between adjacent chains is provided by a C—H···O hydrogen bond. Atom C2 in the cation at (x, y, z), which is adjacent to the cationic N1 atom, acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via H2B, to carboxylate atom O21 in the anion at (−1 + x, y, z), and propagation of this interaction thus links the [110] chains generated by the hard (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999) hydrogen bonds into (001) sheets.
As with other amine salts of (S)-malic acid (Farrell et al., 2002b), the supramolecular structure of (I) closely mimics a centrosymmetric arrangement, even though exact centrosymmetry is ruled out by the chiral anion.
