A co-crystal of quinol and pyridine would be expected to form with 1:2 stoichiometry because quinol has two hydrogen-bond donors and pyridine has one hydrogen-bond acceptor which is more basic than phenolic oxy­gen. We report the structure of a 1:1 co-crystal, viz. quinol–pyridine (1/1), C6H6O2·C5H5N, which does not conform to this expectation. Its stability appears to imply that a combination of individually relatively weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and ππ stacking interactions are energetically competitive with O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Quinol molecules lie on inversion centres, while pyridine is in a general position.

Comment

Quinol shows a great propensity for forming co-crystals, and it is widely used to stabilize compounds that are susceptible to polymerization. A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.25; Allen & Motherwell, 2002[Allen, F. H. & Motherwell, W. D. S. (2002). Acta Cryst. B58, 407-422.]) shows that there are 92 co-crystals of quinol with a range of organic compounds. Of all these structures in the CSD, over half contain hydrogen-bond acceptors, e.g. 1,4-dioxane (Barnes et al., 1990[Barnes, J. C., Paton, J. D. & Blyth, C. S. (1990). Acta Cryst. C46, 1183-1184.]). We have recently reported (Oswald et al., 2004[Oswald, I. D. H., Motherwell, W. D. S. & Parsons, S. (2004). Acta Cryst. B60. Submitted.]) a series of crystal structures of co-crystals of quinol with pyrazine, piperazine, morpholine, pyridine, piperidine and 4,4′-bi­pyridine (hereafter referred to as guest mol­ecules). These all have closely related packing motifs in which pairs of quinol and guest mol­ecules are connected via N—H⋯O or C—H⋯O interactions.[link]

[Scheme 1]

Amine N atoms are more strongly basic than phenol O atoms and the shortest, and by implication strongest, hydrogen bonds formed in our previous studies were those from a phenol OH donor to an amine or a pyridine N atom. Pyrazine and piperazine, which both have two acceptor sites per mol­ecule, were found to form 1:1 co-crystals with quinol, which contains two strong donor functions. In the co-crystals of quinol with mol­ecules with N, NH or NMe and O, CH or CH2, respectively in the 1 and 4 positions of a six-membered ring, quinol was found to form hydrogen bonds exclusively to the nitro­gen moiety, promoting the formation of quinol–guest co-crystals in a 1:2 ratio. This trend is exemplified by pyridine, which forms a co-crystal containing quinol and pyridine in 1:2 ratio.

In this paper, we report the crystal structure of a 1:1 co-crystal of quinol and pyridine, (I[link]), which is an exception to the general stoichiometry rules described above. It was obtained by refluxing and then cooling a solution of quinol dissolved in a minimum quantity of pyridine.

Co-crystal (I[link]) crystallizes in space group P[\overline 1] and the asymmetric unit consists of one mol­ecule of pyridine in a general position and two half-mol­ecules of quinol (labelled A and B) residing on crystallographic inversion centres (Fig. 1[link]). Primary bond distances and angles are normal and are listed in the deposited CIF.

The shortest and strongest intermolecular interactions in the structure are O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2[link] and Table 1[link]). Quinol mol­ecules A and B alternate along a chain built by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, in which mol­ecule A provides the OH-donor functions, while mol­ecule B acts as the acceptor. The chains run along the [110] direction and form a C22(14) graph set (Bernstein et al., 1995[Bernstein, J., Davis, R. E., Shimoni, L. & Chang, N.-L. (1995). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 1555-1573.]). Molecule B donates to pairs of pyridine mol­ecules, which lie on either side of the chain. Successive pyridine mol­ecules are related by the [\overline 1] operations centred in the middle of the quinol rings. Co-crystal (I[link]) is the only co-crystal in our study that we have observed in which quinol mol­ecules are directly hydrogen bonded to one another.

The only conventional hydrogen-bonding function `unsat­isfied' by the N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding described above is the phenol O atom of mol­ecule A. There is a close contact between this phenol group and a pyridine attached to an adjacent chain (C4S—H4S⋯O1A = 2.57 Å and 127°).

Inter-chain connections are also formed by ππ stacking between pairs of pyridine mol­ecules. The distance between the atoms in one ring and the mean plane of the other varies in the range 3.532–3.538 (2) Å; the planes are exactly parallel by symmetry. The symmetry code relating the rings in this interaction is (2 − x, 1 − y, −z).

The C4S—H4S⋯O1A and ππ stacking interactions connect the chains into a layer parallel to ([\overline 1]12). The layers are stacked, with quinol mol­ecules above and below the rather `open' region between the pairs of π-stacked pyridine rings in Fig. 2[link]. The layers are connected in this region by C6S—H6Sπ and C2S—H2S⋯O1B interactions, where the π acceptor is the aromatic ring from a quinol (mol­ecule B, see Fig. 3[link]). The distance between H6S and the centroid of the benzene ring (X1B) in this interaction is 2.53 Å, with an angle of 162° subtended at the H atom. The weak C2S—H2S⋯O1B interaction measures 2.69 Å, with an angle at H2S of 136°.

C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is now widely accepted (Desiraju & Steiner, 1999[Desiraju, G. R. & Steiner, T. (1999). The Weak Hydrogen Bond. IUCr Monographs on Crystallography, No. 9. Oxford University Press.]), and weak hydrogen bonding can be exploited in supramolecular chemistry and crystal structure design. For example, C—H⋯O bonds may play a very important role in protein folding (Derewenda et al., 1995[Derewenda, Z. S., Lee, L. & Derewenda, U. (1995). J. Mol. Biol. 252, 248-262.]). The CH groups in pyridine rings are often observed to act as donor groups in CH⋯acceptor interactions. Related interactions also occur in heterocyclic compounds related to pyridine, for example, in quinol–pyrazine (Oswald et al., 2004[Oswald, I. D. H., Motherwell, W. D. S. & Parsons, S. (2004). Acta Cryst. B60. Submitted.]). Such interactions are strong enough that they can be used in crystal engineering, as demonstrated, for example, by Bond (2003[Bond, A. D. (2003). Chem. Commun. pp. 250-251.]) in a series of co-crystals of pyrazine with carboxyl­ic acids. ππ Stacking has also been observed to be competitive with conventional hydrogen bonding in, for example, the 1:2 co-crystal of quinol with 4,4′-bi­pyridine (Oswald et al., 2004[Oswald, I. D. H., Motherwell, W. D. S. & Parsons, S. (2004). Acta Cryst. B60. Submitted.]).

That a co-crystal with 1:1 stoichiometry should be obtained from a mixture of quinol and pyridine must imply that the combination of C—H⋯O, ππ stacking and C—H⋯π interactions is competitive with O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding, even for a relatively basic centre such as pyridine.

Strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect quinol mol­ecules into chains. Pyridine mol­ecules are connected on either side of the chains by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. ππ Stacking and C—H⋯O interactions involving the pyridine mol­ecules also link the chains into a layer. The O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are shown as heavy dashed lines and the weaker C—H⋯O interactions as open dashes. This view is along the ([\overline 1]12) reciprocal lattice direction.

Experimental

Starting materials were obtained from Sigma–Aldrich and were used as received. Quinol (0.49 g, 4.45 mmol) was refluxed in a minimum volume of pyridine to dissolve the solid. The solution was allowed to cool to room temperature to produce colourless blocks.
