Cytenamide forms a 1:1 solvate with butyric acid [systematic name: 5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptatriene-5-carboxamide–butanoic acid (1/1)], C16H13NO·C4H8O2. The title compound crystallizes with one molecule of cytenamide and one of butyric acid in the these molecules are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form an R22(8) heterodimer motif. Pairs of adjacent motifs are further connected via N—H⋯O interactions to form a discrete centrosymmetric assembly.

A sample of cytenamide was synthesized according to a modification of the published method (Davis et al., 1964). A single-crystal sample of cytenamide-butyric acid was grown form a saturated butyric acid solution by isothermal solvent evaporation at 278 K.
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 and Uiso(H) (in the range 1.2–1.5 times Ueq of the parent atom), after which the positions were refined with riding constraints. The positions of H-atoms involved in H-bonding were refined subject to distance restraints.

Cytenamide (CYT) is an analogue of carbamazepine (CBZ), a dibenzazepine drug used to control seizures (Cyr et al., 1987). CYT-butyric acid solvate was produced during an automated parallel crystallization study (Florence, Johnston, Fernandes et al., 2006) of CYT 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 in CBZ (Florence, Johnston, Price et al., 2006; Florence, Leech et al., 2006) and its closely related analogues, CYT (Florence, Bedford et al., 2008), 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 butyric acid solution by slow evaporation at 278 K yielded a sample suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Fig. 1).
The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with one CYT and one solvent molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecules adopt a hydrogen-bonded arrangement similar to that observed in CBZ-butyric acid solvate (1/1) (Fleischman et al., 2003) whereby the CYT and butyric acid molecules are connected via N—H···O and O—H···O hydrogen bonds to form an R22(8) dimer motif (Etter, 1990). Adjacent dimers are linked via a third contact (N1—H1···O2; Fig 2) to form an R42(8) centrosymmetric double motif arrangement. The O1···O3 distance of 2.566 (1) Å lies within the expected range for strong hydrogen bonds (2.5 - 3.2 Å; Desiraju and Steiner, 1999).
CYT-butyric acid solvate structure reported here is essentially isostructural with both CBZ-formic acid and CBZ-acetic acid solvates (Fleischman et al., 2003).
