organic compounds
Two salts obtained from the proton-transfer reactions of benzene-1,2,4,5-tetracarboxylic acid (pyromellitic acid, PMA) with 2,2'-biimidazole and 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine form one-dimensional O-HO hydrogen-bonded chain structures extended into two-dimensional supramolecular layers and sheets via O-HO and N-HO hydrogen bonding.
