In the crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptatriene-5-carboxamide-1,4-dioxane (2/1)], 2C16H13NO·C4H8O2, the cytenamide molecules form a hydrogen-bonded R22(8) dimer. The solvent molecule is located between two adjacent cytenamide dimers and forms N-H
O hydrogen bonds with one cytenamide molecule from each dimer.
A sample of cytenamide was synthesized according to a modification of the published method (Davis et al., 1964). A single crystal of (I) was grown from a saturated solution of cytenamide in 1,4-dioxane by isothermal solvent evaporation at 298 K.
Data were merged with SORTAV (Blessing, 1997) and a theta cut off of 25.0 ° was applied due to weak scattering. H-atoms were found on a difference Fourier map and were initially refined with soft restraints on the bond lengths and angles to regularize their geometry. The C-H distances are in the range 0.92 - 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2-1.5Ueq(C). Atoms C12 C13 C14 and to some extent C15 suffer from large and prolate thermal ellipsoids. During refinement, the crystal was found to be twinned, according to the twin law expressed by the following matrix: 1 0 0.012, 0 - 1 0, 0 0 - 1 i.e. approximately about the a axis, giving rise to a twin component of ca 10%. Inclusion of the twin resulted in a reduction of the R-factor by ca 1%.

Cytenamide (CYT) is an analogue of carbamazepine (CBZ), a dibenzazepine drug used to control seizures (Cyr et al., 1987). CYT-dioxane hemisolvate was produced during an automated parallel crystallization study of CYT (Florence, Johnston, Fernandes et al., 2006) as part of a wider investigation that couples automated parallel crystallization with crystal structure prediction methodology to investigate the basic science underlying the solid-state diversity of CBZ (Florence, Johnston, Price et al., 2006; Florence, Leech et al., 2006; Fleischman et al., 2003) and its closely related analogues: CYT (Florence et al., 2008a),10,11-dihydrocarbamazepine (Bandoli et al., 1992; Harrison et al., 2006; Leech et al., 2007) and cyheptamide (Florence, Shankland et al., 2008). The sample was identified as a new form using multi-sample foil transmission X-ray powder diffraction analysis (Florence et al., 2003). Subsequent manual recrystallization from a saturated 1,4-dioxane solution by slow evaporation at 298 K yielded a sample suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Fig. 1).
The reported crystal structure is essentially isostructural with that of CBZ-dioxane solvate (2/1) (Florence, Johnston, Price et al., 2006) and accordingly displays very similar packing arrangements. Specifically, the molecules crystallize with two CYT and one 1,4-dioxane molecules in the asymmetric unit. Pairs of CYT molecules form an R22(8) dimer motif (Etter, 1990) via two N—H···O hydrogen bonds and a further two N—H···O contacts link CYT dimers with solvent molecules to form an infinite chain that extends in the c-direction (Table 1 & Fig. 2).
