C 9 H 6 Cl 2 O 4 (III) have been determined at 130 K. Compound (I) forms discrete centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded cyclic bis(cation anion) units having both R 2 2(8) and R 2 1(4) N H O interactions. In compound (II) the primary N H O linked cation anion units are extended into a two-dimensional sheet structure via amide N H O carboxyl and O carbonyl interactions. The structure of compound (III) reveals the presence of an unusual and unexpected self-synthesized methyl monoester of the acid as an adduct molecule giving one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains. In all three structures the hydrogen phthalate anions are essentially planar with short intramolecular carboxylic acid -O H O carboxyl hydrogen bonds [O O, 2.393 (8) 2.410 (2) Å]. This work provides examples of low-dimensional 1:1 hydrogen-bonded DCPA structure types, and includes the first example of a discrete cyclic 'heterotetramer.' This low-dimensionality in the structures of the 1:1 aromatic Lewis base salts of the parent acid is generally associated with the planar DCPA anion species. Comment The 1:1 proton-transfer compounds of the acid salts of 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid (DCPA) with aromatic and heteroaromatic nitrogen Lewis bases generally show low-dimensional hydrogen-bonded structure types (Smith et al., 2008a), with the occurrence of three-dimensional structures limited to the compounds with the bifunctional examples 3- and 4-aminobenzoic acid (Smith et al., 2008b). In these two examples the primary hydrogen-bonded cation anion 'heterodimer' (Etter & Adsmond, 1990) is extended into sheet substructures through further anion cation interactions, then into a three-dimensional framework via cyclic R 2 2(8) cation carboxylic acid hydrogen bonds (Etter et al., 1990). In these examples the DCPA anions are non-planar whereas in the low-dimensional structure types the DCPA anion species are essentially planar with the planarity achieved through short intramolecular carboxylic acid O H O carboxyl hydrogen bonds [typically 2.441 (3) in the brucinium DCPA compound (Smith et al., 2007)]. There is also a low incidence of hydrates among the structures of the (1:1) proton-transfer 1

compounds of DCPA when prepared in aqueous alcoholic solution, with the only three known examples limited to the salts with quinaldic acid (a monohydrate) (Smith et al., 2008a), 2-aminobenzoic acid (a dihydrate) (Smith et al., 2008b), hexamethylenetetramine (a monohydrate) (Smith et al., 2009) and with the drug quinacrine (a tetrahydrate) (Smith & Wermuth, 2009). The 1:1 stoichiometric reaction of DCPA with the substituted monocyclic heteroaromatic bases 2-aminopyrimidine, 3-(aminocarbonyl)pyridine (nicotinamide) and 4-(aminocarbonyl)pyridine (isonicotinamide) in + methanol gave the anhydrous compounds 2-aminopyrimidinium 2-carboxy-4,5-dichlorobenzoate C 4 H 6 N 3 - + - C 8 H 3 Cl 2 O 4 (I), 3-(aminocarbonyl)pyridinium 2-carboxy-4,5-dichlorobenzoate C 7 H 8 NO 2 C 8 H 3 Cl 2 O 4 (II) and the unusual adduct 4-(aminocarbonyl)pyridinium 2-carboxy-4,5-dichlorobenzoate 2-carboxymethyl-4,5-dichlorobenzoic acid (1/1/1) C 6 H 7 N 2 O + - C 8 H 3 Cl 2 O 4. C 9 H 6 Cl 2 O 4 (III). This set of compounds shows examples of zero-, one- and two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded structures. All three compounds have at least one direct hetero-ring N + H O carboxyl hydrogen-bonding interaction (Figs. 1 3) (Tables 1 3), and as well all show low-dimensional hydrogen-bonded overall structures, two- in (II), one- in (III) and the first example of a cyclic zero-dimensional bis(cation anion) species in (I) (Figs. 4 6). Associated with all of these DCPA structure types is the essentially planar monoanion species which is found in ca. 50% of the known 1:1 acid salts of DCPA with aromatic Lewis bases (Smith et al., 2008a). However structures (I) (III) are sufficiently different as to be described separately. With compound (I), the primary cation-anion association is an asymmetric cyclic R 2 2(8) pyrimidine hetero- N O, O' carboxyl association (Fig. 1). This is the high probability Type 4 hydrogen-bonding structural motif described by Allen et al. (1998). The cation-anion pairs so formed repeat across inversion centres via cyclic three-centre R 2 1(4) amine -N + H O,O' carboxyl associations, enclosing R 6 6(12) rings, giving discrete four-molecule 'heterotetramer' structural units (Fig. 4). Although other zero-dimensional structures are known among the DCPA proton-transfer compounds [others being discrete cation anion 'heterodimers' (Etter & Adsmond, 1990), with brucine (Smith et al., 2007), hexamethylenetetramine and 1,10-phenanthroline (Smith et al., 2009), the formation of this bis-(cation anion) structure type is driven more by the interactive features of 2-aminopyrimidine molecular synthon and finds a small incidence among its 1:1 salts with the aromatic acids, e.g. (3,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (Lynch et al., 1994) and phthalic acid (Smith et al., 1995). With (II), the nicotinamide cations form chain structures through homomeric amide N31 H O carbonyl interactions which extend along the approximate <101> planes in the unit cell (Fig. 5). These chains are linked along the b cell direction by associations involving proton donors of both the amide-n and the primary pyridinium groups to carboxyl oxygen acceptors of the anions (Table 3), giving a two-dimensional sheet structure. Compound (III) is an example of a (1:1:1) cation anion adduct structure with the adduct molecule an unexpected methyl monoester of DCPA, arising from self synthesis in the methanol solvent under the conditions of the reaction. This phenomenon has no precedence among the proton-transfer compounds prepared under similar conditions in our laboratory. In (III), the primary hetero N + H O carboxyl hydrogen-bonded unit is extended into a zig-zag chain via an amide N H O carboxyl association which extends across the approximate <101> planes in the unit cell (Fig. 6). The second amide-n, together with the amide carbonyl-o are involved in an asymmetric 2

cyclic R 2 2(8) association with the peripherally linked DCPA methyl monoester adduct molecule (B). There is an absence in (I) (III) of short intermolecular Cl Cl interactions such as has been found in the DCPA compounds with 3- and 4-aminobenzoic acids (Smith et al., 2008a). The occurrence of this phenomenon particularly in dichloro- substituted aromatic compounds has previously been described (Sarma & Desiraju, 1986). However, in all three structures there are short Cl O carboxyl associations [for (I), Cl4 O32 ii, 3.0683 (14) Å: symmetry code (ii), -x + 1, -y + 2, -z + 1; for (II), Cl4 O11 ii, 3.1582 (15) Å: symmetry code (iii), -x + 1, y + 1/2, -z + 5/2; for (III), Cl4 O22 iii, 2.982 (5) Å: symmetry code (iii), x, -y + 1, z - 1/2. With the DCPA anions in this series the essential planarity is the result of the presence of the short intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups [2.393 (8) Å in (III) 2.410 (2) Å in (II)]. Torsion angles associated with these groups (C2 C1 C11 O11 and C1 C2 C21 O22) are: for (I), -170.16 (16) and -179.70 (16) ; for (II), -178.68 (19), 172.58 (18) ; for (III), 173.0 (7), -175.6 (6) respectively. The planarity also means that there are short intramolecular aromatic ring C H O carboxyl interactions, typically C6 H6 O12, 2.676 (2) Å and C3 H3 O22, 2.643 (2) Å in (I). With the methyl ester adduct molecule in (III) the carboxylic acid group provides hydrogen-bonding links to the cation anion chain structure rather than forming an intramolecular hydrogen bond and is therefore rotated out of the molecular plane [torsion angle C2B C1B C11B O11B, -151.6 (6) ]. This present series provides a set of low-dimensional hydrogen- bonded structure types in the series of 1:1 proton-transfer compounds of 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid with aromatic Lewis bases. This low-dimensionality is largely associated with planarity in the internally hydrogen-bonded hydrogen phthalate anion species. Experimental Compounds (I) (III) were synthesized by heating together for 10 min under reflux, 1 mmol quantities of 4,5- dichlorophthalic acid and respectively 2-aminopyrimidine, nicotinic acid and isonicotinic acid in 50 ml of methanol. All compounds were obtained as small colourless plates or prisms [m. p. (I) 334 K; (II) 455 457 K; (III) 433 434 K], after partial room-temperature evaporation of solvent.
