(a) The tetrameric unit of two carboxylic acid–imide heterodimers. (b) The tetrameric unit of an acid-flanked imide homodimer. Both (a) and (b) have been calculated to be less stable (Moragues-Bartolome et al., 2012) and hence less likely to occur in co-crystals. (c) The reported SM–24DHBA co-crystal shows the Thomo unit, with the crucial stabilization and propagation of the unit via para-OH⋯carbonyl (imide) hydrogen bonds. Dashed lines indicate hydrogen bonds. |
