Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt, C4H8N5+·C2Cl3O2-·H2O, coomprises a 2,4-di-amino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium cation, a tri-chloro-acetate anion and a water mol-ecule of solvation. The protonated N atom of the cation forms a hydrogen bond with a carboxyl O atom of the anion, which also acts as a hydrogen-atom acceptor with the water mol-ecule. The cations form centrosymmetric dimeric units through R22(8) N-H⋯N bond pairs and are extended into zigzag chains along the c-axis direction, also through similar cyclic R22(8) dual N-H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. The water mol-ecule acts as a dual acceptor forming N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the amine groups of the cations, forming cyclic R23(8) motifs. The second H atom of the water mol-ecule also acts as a donor in an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond with the second carboxyl O atom, linking the chains along the b-axis direction. These interactions give rise to an overall three-dimensional supra-molecular structure. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was employed in order to study the inter-molecular inter-actions.

Highlights

  • Triazine heterocyclic -conjugated structures are attractive owing to the chemical flexiblity of their systems and have many applications in medicinal chemistry, materials science and organic synthesis (Boesveld & Lappert, 1997; Boesveld et al, 1999; Reid et al, 2011). 1,3,5-Triazine derivatives represent an important class of compounds because of their potential to be biologically active

  • Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint plots were employed in order to quantify the contributions of the various intermolecular interactions present in the structure

  • The water molecule acts as a donor to form a second O1W—H2O2Á Á ÁO2vi hydrogen bond, which together with the O1W—H1O1Á Á ÁO1 hydrogen-bond sequence links the trichloroacetate anions into chains along the b-axis direction

Summary

Chemical context

Triazine heterocyclic -conjugated structures are attractive owing to the chemical flexiblity of their systems and have many applications in medicinal chemistry, materials science and organic synthesis (Boesveld & Lappert, 1997; Boesveld et al, 1999; Reid et al, 2011). 1,3,5-Triazine derivatives represent an important class of compounds because of their potential to be biologically active. 1,3,5-Triazine derivatives represent an important class of compounds because of their potential to be biologically active They are known to be anti-protozoal agents (Baliani et al, 2005), anticancer agents (Menicagli et al, 2004), estrogen receptor modulators (Henke et al, 2002), antimalarials (Agarwal et al, 2005), cyclin-dependent kinase modulators (Kuo et al, 2005) and anti-microbial agents (Koc et al, 2010). Triazine derivatives have been used as building blocks for subtle chemical architectures comprising organic–inorganic hybrid frameworks (Mathias et al, 1994; Zerkowski & Whitesides, 1994; MacDonald & Whitesides, 1994; Guru Row, 1999; Krische & Lehn, 2000; Sherrington & Taskinen, 2001) In these approaches, interplay between molecules is achieved by using diverse styles of non-covalent interactions, which include hydrogen bonds or ionic, hydro-.
