organic compounds
Crystals of L-leucinium perchlorate, C6H14NO2+·ClO4−, are built up from protonated L-leucinium cations and perchlorate anions. L-Leucinium cations related by a twofold screw axis are interconnected by N—HO hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains parallel to [010]. The O atoms of the perchlorate anions act as acceptors of hydrogen bonds that link the L-leucinium chains into separated but interacting two-dimensional layers parallel to (001). Since the title compound crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group, it can be useful as a material for non-linear optics. The efficiency of second harmonic generation is about twice that of K2[HPO4].
organic compounds
Crystals of the title compound, C4H8N5+·C2F3O2−, are built up of singly protonated 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium cations and trifluoroacetate anions. The CF3 group of the anion is disordered. The oppositely charged ions interact via almost linear N—HO hydrogen bonds, forming a CF3COO−C4H8N5+ unit. Two units related by an inversion centre interact through a pair of N—HN hydrogen bonds, forming planar (CF3COO−C4H8N5+C4H8N5+·CF3COO−) aggregates that are linked by a pair of N—HO hydrogen bonds into chains running along the c axis.
organic compounds
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C3H6N6·3C8H5NO2, contains a melamine and a phthalimide [1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione] molecule, both residing on a mirror plane, and a second phthalimide molecule residing on a general position. The two components are linked by almost linear N—HO and N—HN hydrogen bonds, forming an essentially planar superstructure. These aggregates, related by a twofold screw axis, interact through weak C—HO contacts, forming chains parallel to the b axis, while those related by translation along the c axis interact via π–π interactions between the π clouds of the aromatic triazine and phthalimide rings to form a stacked structure.
