Abstract
Four novel complexes of 2,4-dithiouracil (pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dithione, DTU) with 18-membered benzo- and dibenzo-crown ethers were synthesized in approximately the same conditions and studied by single crystal diffraction. Hydrogen bonding was observed to be the most important for the complexation in the solid state but π–π interactions also contribute to it. The crystalline monohydrates of the 1:1:1 stoichiometry are recorded for 4-bromo- and 4-nitrobenzo-18-crown-6 (complexes 1 and 2), while complexes with [2.4]dibenzo- and thia[1.5]dibenzo-18-crown-6 (complexes 3 and 4) represent anhydrous adducts of the 2:2 ratio. The crystal structures reveal three supramolecular structural motifs: the alternative chain for the ternary complex 1 and two types of capsules for complexes 2−4 where the DTU dimers are encapsulated inside the space restricted by two crown molecules.
