The title compounds, C

13ClN
2·H
2O, (I), and C
19H
13NO, (II), form monoclinic crystals. Arranged in a `head-to-tail' manner, the molecules of the amine form (I) lie along the
b axis in layers that are linked by a network of hydrogen bonds involving the endocyclic N atom, the H atom at the exocyclic N atom and all the atoms of the solvent water molecule. Molecules of (II), with the phenoxy group nearly perpendicular to the acridine moiety, are arranged in pairs related by a center of symmetry and stabilized
via two C—H

N contacts; the latter are linked
via a network of further C—H

N contacts and non-specific dispersive interactions.

9-(2-Chloroethylamino)acridine was obtained by heating (1.5 h at 373 K) a mixture of 9-phenoxyacridine and 2-chloroethylamine in phenol (Dupre & Robinson, 1945). The product was purified chromatographically (silica gel 60, toluene/diethylamine, 10/1 v/v). Analysis found: C 65.56, H 5.32, N 10.22%; calculated: C 65.45, H 5.45, N 10.18%. Yellow crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were grown from cyclohexane (m.p. 348–350 K). 9-Phenoxyacridine was synthesized following the literature procedure (Albert, 1966). The product was purified chromatographically (silica gel 60, toluene/methanol, 10/1 v/v) and yellow crystals suitable for X-ray investigation were grown from toluene (m.p. 398–399 K).
All H atoms where found in difference Fourier maps and were refined without constraints [C—H = 0.92 (4)–0.98 (3) Å in (I) and 0.955 (15)–1.016 (15) Å in (II)]. Parameters of C—H···N contacts in (II) were calculated assuming a C—H bond length of 1.08 Å (Steiner, 1997).
Data collection: KM-4 Software (Kuma Diffraction, 1989) for (I); KM4CCD Software (Kuma Diffraction, 1995–1999) for (II). Cell refinement: KM-4 Software for (I); KM4CCD Software for (II). Data reduction: KM-4 Software for (I); KM4CCD Software for (II). For both compounds, program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1997); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: ORTEPII (Johnson, 1976); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97.

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. |

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. |

The practically and cognitively interesting 9-aminoacridine molecule has the potential to coexist, in the liquid and gaseous phases, in the amine and imine tautomeric forms (Rak et al., 1997), even though it has been established that only the amine tautomer is present in the crystalline phase (Chaudhuri, 1983). It has recently been found that the electron-withdrawing and -donating substituents at the exocyclic N atom have a greater affinity for, respectively, the imine and amine forms of 9-aminoacridines (Wróblewska et al., 2004). Two examples confirm this rule; molecules of the imine form are present in crystals of 9-(trichloroacetylimino)acridine (Meszko et al., 2002) and 9-(phenylsulfonylimino)acridine (Kuz'mina & Struchkov, 1981), both of which contain strongly electron-attracting substituents at the exocyclic N atom (the former compound crystallizes as a monohydrate). In order to obtain more evidence supporting the expected regularity, further 9-aminoacridine derivatives need to be synthesized and their structures and properties determined. This publication focuses on the refinement of the structure of (I), in which 9-aminoacridine is substituted at the exocyclic N atom with CH2CH2Cl – a substituent that, according to our recent work (Wróblewska et al., 2004), should display an affinity for the imine form of 9-aminoacridine (the logarithm of the equilibrium constant for the amine–imine tautomerization and the mean charge of CH2CH2Cl predicted for the gaseous phase are 1.59 and 0.14, respectively). The other compound investigated here, (II), the phenoxy-substituted acridine, serves as an intermediate in the syntheses of numerous acridine derivatives, among them 9-aminoacridines (Albert, 1966). Their biological relevance is well established, and 9-aminoacridines are capable of interacting specifically with adjacent molecules. The mechanisms of these interactions undoubtedly depend on the form in which the 9-aminoacridines occur (Barbe et al., 1996; Wróblewska et al., 2004). Investigation of these mechanisms? was the reason for undertaking the present work.
Crystals of (I) contain molecules of the amine form (Fig. 1), eight of which occupy the unit cell (Fig. 2). The acridine moiety is nearly planar in the crystalline phase (Table 1), with atoms C9, N10 and N15 arranged almost linearly [N10···C9—N15 = 176.7 (2) °]. The NCH2CH2Cl group is twisted relative to the acridine skeleton, at an angle of 22.8 (1)° (this is the angle between the plane containing atoms N15, C16 and C17 and the mean plane delineated by all the non-H atoms of the acridine nucleus). The value of the N15—C16—C17—Cl18 angle (Table 1) indicates that the conformation of the (NCH2CH2Cl) substituent is of the s-cis type. Molecules of (I) are arranged `head-to-tail' in layers along the b axis. Molecules of (I) and water are linked by a network of hydrogen bonds involving the endocylic N atom, the H atom at the exocyclic N atom and all three water atoms (Fig. 2 and Table 2). These multidirectional hydrogen bonds are the principal factor in stabilizing the lattice and, most probably, in forcing the introduction of (I) into the lattice in the amine tautometric form.
Four molecules of (II) (Fig. 3) occupy the unit cell (Fig.4). The acridine moiety is nearly planar in the crystalline phase (Table 3), with atoms C9, N10 and O15 arranged almost linearly [N10···C9—O15 = 176.0 (2)°]. The values of the C11—C9—O15—C16 and C13—C9—O15—C16 angles (Table 3) and the angle between mean planes delineated by all the non-H atoms of acridine and the phenyl nuclei [85.2 (1)°] testify to the almost perpendicular arrangement of the two fragments. Molecules of (II) are arranged in pairs stabilized by two C17—H17···N10 contacts (Table 4). Adjacent pairs, which form a herring-bone pattern in the crystal [the angle between these pairs – i.e. the mean planes delineated by the respective non-H atoms of the acridine nuclei – is 40.1 (2)°], are linked through a network of C19—H19···N10 contacts (Table 4) and non-specific dispersive interactions.
