(Received 29 May 2013; accepted 31 May 2013; online 12 June 2013)

The title compound, C12H8N2·2B(OH)3, is best described as a host–guest complex in which the B(OH)3 mol­ecules form a hydrogen-bonded cyclic network of layers parallel to the ab plane into which the 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecules are bound. An extensive network of hydrogen bonds are responsible for the crystal stability. No π-stacking inter­actions occur between the 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecules.

Am. Chem. Soc. 119, 10867-10868.]). In the field of supermolecular synthesis, recognition between the complementary functional groups is a main factor for the evaluation of influence of noncovalent inter­actions in the formation of specific architecture, see: Lehn (1990[Lehn, J. M. (1990). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 29, 1304-1319.]). The ability of the –B(OH)2 functionality to form a variety of hydrogen bonds through different conformations makes it a very suitable moiety for the synthesis of novel mol­ecular complexes, see: Lee et al. (2005[Lee, S. O., Kariuki, B. M. & Harris, K. D. M. (2005). New. J. Chem. 29, 1266-1271.]). It is known to have an affinity for pyridyl N atoms, often forming O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, as observed in some crystals of boronic acids with aza compounds (Talwelkar & Pedireddi, 2010[Talwelkar, M. & Pedireddi, V. R. (2010). Tetrahedron Lett. 51, 6901-6905.]). Non-covalent hosts are generally designed and synthesized by employing appropriate functional groups at required symmetry positions to form a cyclic network through the hydrogen bonds, see: Pedireddi (2001[Pedireddi, V. R. (2001). Cryst. Growth Des. 1, 383-385.]). This effect has been observed in simple mol­ecular adducts such as 1,10-phenanthroline and water (Tian et al., 1995[Tian, Y.-P., Duan, C.-Y., Xu, X.-X. & You, X.-Z. (1995). Acta Cryst.

The design and synthesis of novel systems of noncovalent hosts involving hydrogen bonds is a vast research area in both molecular and supermolecular chemistry, see Pedireddi et al. (1997). In the field of supermolecular synthesis, recognition between the complementary functional groups is a main factor for the evaluation of influence of noncovalent interaction in the formation of specific architecture, see: Lehn (1990). In recent times, boric acid derivatives have been well considered to be potential co-crystal formers. In fact, the ability of –B(OH)2 functionality to form a variety of hydrogen bonds through different conformations makes it a very suitable moiety for the synthesis of novel molecular complexes, see Lee et al. (2005). The –B(OH)2 moiety is known to have an affinity for pyridyl N-atoms, often forming O—H···N hydrogen bonds, as observed in some crystals of boronic acids with aza compounds,see Talwelkar & Pedireddi (2010).

Non-covalent hosts are generally designed and synthesized by employing appropriate functional groups at required symmetry positions to form a cyclic network through the hydrogen bonds, see Pedireddi (2001). This effect has been observed vividly in simple molecular adduct such as 1,10-phenanthroline and water, see Tian et al. (1995). In this complex, a water molecule interacts with a molecule of 1,10-phenanthroline through O–H···N hydrogen bonds and an unique aza-aromatic complex is formed. In the latter, 1,10-phenanthroline could be considered as a host. Herein, we report the crystal structure of boric acid with 1,10-phenanthroline as an aza-donor compound.

As seen in Figure 1, the phen molecule forms a H-bonded adduct via two B–O–H···N interacts from one of the included B(OH)3 moieties. A strong network of hydrogen bonds among the B(OH)3 units forms a layered structure with alternating B(OH)3 and phen layers that reside in the ab planes (Figure 2). The B(OH)3 layers alone can be described as a cyclic network formed by hydrogen bonding interactions as can be seen in Figure 3. There are not any significant π-stacking interactions between the phen molecules.

Experimental top

(CH3)3NBH3 (0.73 g, 10 mmol) and iodine (2.54 g, 5 mmol) were dissolved in toluene (4 ml) and stirred for 30 min. A solution of 1,10-phenanthroline (1.98 g, 10 mmol) in toluene (4 ml) was added, and the mixture refluxed overnight. The solution was cooled to room temperature, during which process orange-brown crystals were formed. The product was recrystallized twice from CH3CN to obtain analytically pure, red-brown crystalline product.

H-atoms were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride during subsequent refinement, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) and C—H distances of 0.93 Å for the aromatic H atoms and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and O—H distances of 0.85 Å for hydroxyl H atoms.

Special details top

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > 2σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
