This study details the first single-crystal X-ray structure of hexahydroxybenzene (HHB) co-crystallized with 2,2′-bipyridine (2BPY). The neutral adduct reveals specific hydrogen bonding patterns critical for molecular assembly.

Area of Science:

  • Crystallography
  • Supramolecular Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Hexahydroxybenzene (HHB) is a versatile organic molecule with potential applications in materials science.
  • Understanding the crystalline structure of HHB is crucial for designing new materials.
  • 2,2′-Bipyridine (2BPY) is a common ligand in coordination chemistry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the first single-crystal X-ray structure of a molecular adduct formed between hexahydroxybenzene (HHB) and 2,2′-bipyridine (2BPY).
  • To elucidate the hydrogen bonding network and crystal packing in the HHB:2BPY (2:1) adduct.

Main Methods:

  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.
  • Crystallographic data collection and structure refinement.
  • Analysis of hydrogen bonding interactions and molecular geometry.

Main Results:

  • The neutral molecular adduct crystallizes in space group P1 with a 2:1 ratio of 2BPY to HHB.
  • The hexahydroxybenzene molecule lies on an inversion center.
  • HHB forms O-H...O hydrogen-bonded chains, which are crosslinked by O-H...N hydrogen bonds to 2BPY molecules.

Conclusions:

  • The first single-crystal X-ray structure of the HHB:2BPY adduct provides detailed insights into its supramolecular assembly.
  • The identified hydrogen bonding network dictates the crystal packing and stability of the adduct.
  • This structural information is valuable for the rational design of novel crystalline materials based on HHB and related compounds.
