The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, C15H26O4Si2, reveals a self-assembly facilitated via the rare co-existence of dimeric and catemeric patterns, which is attributed to the influence of the trimethylsilyl groups. The structure is dicussed in the context of a database search and subsequent analysis of structures of cis-1,2-dicarboxylic acids.

To a suspension of small pieces (1 mm) of sodium (6.1 g, 0.265 mol) in dry
tetrahydrofuran (100 ml) in a 500 ml three-necked round-bottomed flask fitted
with a mechanical stirrer, a dropping funnel and a condenser, under a nitrogen
atmosphere, was added freshly distilled 1,3-cyclopentadiene (16.5 g, 0.25 mol)
over a period of 45 min. The dark-red reaction mixture was stirred for 2 h at
room temperature. Then chlorotrimethylsilane (27.25 g, 0.25 mol) was added
dropwise over a period of 1 h, during which the mixture became warm and
changed colour from dark-red to blue to white with copious precipitation of
NaCl. The stirring was continued for 3 h more, and then the mixture was
filtered through glass wool and the precipitate was washed with
tetrahydrofuran (2 × 10 ml). The combined filtrates were cooled in an
ice–water bath and carefully treated with water (75 ml). The layers were then
separated. The aqueous layer was washed with ether (3 × 50 ml), and the
organic layers were combined, washed with water (3 × 75 ml), dried
(Na2SO4) and concentrated. The residue was distilled under vacuum on a
spinning band column. The fraction collected at 341–344 K and 20 Torr (1 Torr
= 133.322 Pa) was 99.9% pure (by gas chromatography)
2,5-bistrimethylsilylcyclopentadiene.
To finely powdered maleic anhydride (2.44 g, 0.025 mol) in a 25 ml conical
flask was added 2,5-bistrimethylsilylcyclopentadiene (5.16 g, 0.025 mol)
dropwise over a period of 15 min with shaking and occasional cooling in water.
The mixture was allowed to stand for 3 h and then stirred with CH2Cl2 (20 ml). The solution was filtered, and the filtrate was concentrated to obtain
2,7-anti-bistrimethylsilylbicyclo[2.2.1]hept-2-ene-5,6-endo-dicarboxylic acid anhydride (m.p. 360–361 K). A portion of this (1.0 g) was
stirred in water (10 ml) for 3 h and then filtered, and the title dicarboxylic
acid was recrystallized from chloroform (m.p. 399 K).
Methyl H atoms were treated using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93–0.97 Å
and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The remaining H atoms were refined
freely. [Please give ranges of refined C—H and O—H distances. Values in
CIF do not match those in the hydrogen-bond table - please check]

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.

Carboxylic acid groups have been shown to self-assemble via dimeric and catemeric arrangements (Duchamp & Marsh, 1969; Leiserowitz, 1976; Ermer, 1988; Holy et al., 1999). The latter may be formed in different ways (see scheme) (Duchamp & Marsh, 1969; Das & Desiraju, 2006). An analysis of entries in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version?; Allen, 2002) reveals that the centrosymmetric dimer pattern is found in more than 90% and the catemeric pattern in less than 5% of the structures analysed (Das & Desiraju, 2006; Kolotuchin et al., 1995)
In recent investigations on cyclic cis-1,2-dicarboxylic acids, we observed that a hydrophobic moiety such as the trimethylsilyl (TMS) group at position 7 in syn-7-trimethylsilyl-5-norbornene-endo-2,3-dicarboxylic acid, (I), induces helicity (Begum et al., 2004). This and the novel self-assembly observed in the analogous cyclic cis-1,2-diols (Begum et al., 2005) led us to explore the consequences of introducing an additional TMS group, which led to the present work on the title compound, (II). Here, we report the co-existence of dimeric and catemeric assemblies in the crystal structure of (II). From the structure of (II), in conjunction with analyses of the structures of cis-1,2-dicarboxylic acids reported in the CSD, it appears that both steric factors and the hydrophobic nature of the TMS group are responsible for the rare occurrence of the catemeric pattern together with the centrosymmetric dimer motif.
The geometry of the two carboxyl groups in (II) is found to be syn (Fig. 1). The vicinal dicarboxylic acids are anti with respect to each other, i.e. the two carbonyl O atoms and the hydroxyl groups are oriented in opposite directions. Furthermore, the two carboxyl groups are not parallel, forming a dihedral angle of 58.2 (1)°. This presumably minimizes dipolar repulsions. Apart from this, there are no exceptional geometric features.
The crystal packing (Fig. 2) includes two modes of self-assembly for the carboxyl groups. The first is a centrosymmetric head-to-head dimer motif formed between the carboxylic acid group at C14 (O4—H17···O3i) and the equivalent group in the molecule at (1 - x, -y, 2 - z). The second is formed by molecules related by the 21 screw axis and hydrogen bonded in a syn-catemeric fashion, as shown schematically in the scheme. The chain is propagated by the 21 axis, with the molecule at (x, y, z) donating an O2—H16···O1ii hydrogen bond to its neighbour at (1 - x, 1/2 + y, 3/2 - z). The base molecule (x, y, z) accepts an equivalent hydrogen bond from its 21-related neighbour at (1 - x, -1/2 + y, 3/2 - z).
Given the rarity of the concurrence of the two aggregation patterns observed for (II), a search of the CSD was conducted to shed light on other factors that might play an important role. We retrieved 353 structures for 1,2-dicarboxylic acids. A total of 21 hits were distilled from the initial set for 1,2-cis-dicarboxylic acids, with subsequent elimination of cases for which the two carboxylic acids are geometrically anti, as well as those cases for which there is potential interference by interactions due to other functional groups present in the molecules. In Table 2 are shown the most relevant cases and the pattern of association observed for each; Fig. 3 defines each compound. As can be seen, the predominant pattern observed for 1,2-dicarboxylic acids, with the exception of 3,3-dimethylcyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, is dimeric; to the best of our knowledge, the latter is the only example in addition to the diacid (II) of the present study in which the co-existence of both dimeric and catemeric motifs has been found.
In (II), the O—H···O hydrogen-bonded catemeric assembly is supported by weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Fig. 4), in this case involving atom C3 and the C15 carboxyl O atom, C3—H3···O1iii [symmetry code: (iii) 1-x, -1/2+y, 3/2-z]. It has been proposed that the catemeric motif arises due to auxiliary/supporting weak interactions such as C—H···O hydrogen bonds (Duchamp & Marsh, 1969; Das & Desiraju, 2006; Kuduva et al., 1999). Evidently, an increase in hydrophobicity through further TMS substitution in (II) compared with diacid (I) (Begum et al., 2004), as well as weak C—H···O hydrogen bonds, lead to the appearance of a catemeric motif in diacid (II), a motif not present in (I) nor in the other simple cis-norbornene-1,2-carboxylic acids (Table 2). That the hydrophobic factor itself does appear to play a role in the generation of the catemeric motif can be clearly inferred from the comparison of the crystal packings of cis-cyclopropane-1,2- dicarboxylic acid (CSD refcode FOJRAX) and its 3,3-dimethyl analogue (KOJZEO; Table 2). While the dimeric motif is common to both carboxylic acids, it is the dimethyl substitution in cis-cyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylic acid that causes the co-existence of two patterns. The tendency for increased hydrophobic aggregation in the crystal structures appears to have a decisive effect in the overall crystal packing, leading to the observation of the co-existence of the two patterns in (II).
The co-existence of dimeric and catemeric motifs observed for the title compound, for which we found just one precedent in the CSD, thus appears to be directed by the hydrophobic aggregation of the TMS groups. Though not uncommon, this aggregation influences the usual dimeric motif in favour of the further formation of the chain. This is another instance of how weak interactions may potentially influence the molecular association based on strongly directional supramolecular synthons/motifs.
