Abstract:
Methyl pro-amine {N,N,3-trimethyl-4-[6-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-yl)-1H,3'H-[2,5'-bibenzo[d]imidazol]-2'-yl]aniline}, C28H35N7O2, crystallized as both a dihydrate, C28H31N7·2H2O, and monohydrate, C28H31N7·H2O, form from water in the presence of β-cyclo-dextrin, in the P21/c and P21/n space groups, respectively. The two structures adopt different conformations and tautomeric forms as a result of the differing crystal packing as dictated by hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The dihydrate crystallizes as a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network, while the monohydrate crystallizes as a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
