Abstract
Hydrogen-bonding networks of π-extended 4,4′-bipyridines, 2,5-di(4-pyridyl)thiophene (1), 2,5-di(4-pyridyl)furan (2) and 1,4-di(4-pyridyl)benzene (3) with 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (chloranilic acid, CA) have been investigated. The dipyridyl compounds afforded complexes 4 [(dication of 1)·(monoanion of CA)2], 5 [(dication of 2)·(dianion of CA)·(MeOH)] and 6 [(3)·(dication of 3)·(dianion of CA)·(H2O)6] with CA. X-ray structure analyses revealed the formation of unusual molecular tape and sheet structures involving N–H ⃛O, O–H ⃛O, C–H ⃛O and N–H ⃛N hydrogen bonds, where the aromatic spacer groups play an important role in constructing the unique crystal structures.
