Abstract:
In the asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C(7)H(5)NO(4)·C(12)H(14)N(4)O(2)S, there are two independent but conformationally similar heterodimers, which are formed through inter-molecular N-H⋯O(carb-oxy) and carbox-yl-pyrimidine O-H⋯N hydrogen-bond pairs, giving a cyclic motif [graph set R(2) (2)(8)]. The dihedral angles between the rings in the sulfonamide molecules are 78.77 (8) and 82.33 (9)° while the dihedral angles between the ring and the CO(2)H group in the acids are 2.19 (9) and 7.02 (10)°. A two-dimensional structure parallel to the ab plane is generated from the heterodimer units through hydrogen-bonding associations between NH(2) and sulfone groups. Between neighbouring two-dimensional arrays there are two types of aromatic π-π stacking inter-actions involving either one of the pyrimidine rings and a 4-nitro-benzoic acid mol-ecule [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.5886 (9) Å] or two acid mol-ecules [minimum ring centroid separation = 3.7236 (10) Å].

Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.
