e,e-trans-Cyclohexane-1,4-carboxylic acid-hexamethylenetetramine (1/2)

A. Lemmerer

Abstract top

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C6H12N4·C8H12O4, contains one half-molecule of e,e-trans-cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (the complete molecule being generated by inversion symmetry) and one molecule of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA), which are connected by O-H...N hydrogen bonds. This forms isolated trimers that pack in a herringbone fashion.

Comment top

The molecule hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) acts as a good hydrogen bond acceptor for carboxylic acid or phenol hydrogen bond donors to make binary co-crystals. HMTA can accept any number from one to four hydrogen bonds due to its tetravalent hydrogen bond acceptors, the lone pairs on each of the four N atoms. Most common are two hydrogen bonds per HMTA molecule (Coupar et al., 1997a; Gardon et al., 2003; Ghosh et al., 2005.), with a smaller frequency of one, three or four hydrogen bonds (Coupar et al., 1997b; Daka & Wheeler, 2006; De Bruyn et al., 1996; Feng et al., 2006; Jordan & Mak, 1970; Li et al., 2001; MacLean et al., 1999; Mak et al., 1986; Zakaria et al., 2003.). The title compound is an example of HMTA only accepting one hydrogen bond. As the cis-cyclohexane-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (CHDA) molecule has two carboxylic acid groups, the observed hydrogen bonded assembly is dumb-bell shaped, where one central CHDA molecule (the bar) hydrogen bonds to two pendant HMTA molecules (the bells) (Fig. 2). The dumb-bell trimers are situated on a centre of inversion, located at the centre of the CHDA molecule. The dumbells pack in a herring-bone fashion (Fig. 3).

Refinement top

The C-bound H atoms were geometrically placed with C—H bond lengths of 1.00Å for methine CH and 0.99Å for ethylene CH2 and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The O-bound H atom was geometrically placed (O—H bond length 0.84 Å) and refined as riding with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

Experimental. Numerical integration absorption corrections based on indexed crystal faces were applied using the XPREP routine (Bruker, 2004)

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.
