Structure determination and Hirshfeld surface analysis of new cocrystal and salt forms of 5-aminotetrazole with hydroxy- and nitro-substituted carboxylic acids.

Two new crystalline solids, namely, 5-aminotetrazole-3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid-water (1/4/6), CH3N5·4C7H6O4·6H2O (I), and 5-aminotetrazolium 3,5-dinitrosalicylate, CH4N5+·C7H3N2O7- (II), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The crystal packing arrangements of I and II are governed by N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. In cocrystal I, adjacent acid molecules are linked through O-H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a dimer with an R22(8) motif. In salt II, the tetrazolium cation and acid anion are linked through N-H...O hydrogen bonds to also form a dimer with an R22(8) motif. Further N-H...O and O-H...O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the crystal packing, along with aromatic π-π stacking interactions in I and carbonyl...π interactions in II. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that O...H/H...O interactions contribute 34.4% of the total interactions in the crystal packing of cocrystal I and 36.7% in salt II.

catena-Poly[[bis-(1H-indole-5-carboxyl-ato-κ2 O,O')zinc(II)]-µ-4,4'-azobi-pyridine-κ2 N 1:N 1'].

The asymmetric unit of the title coordination polymer [Zn(C9H6NO2)2(C10H8N4)] n , consists of one ZnII cation, one bidentate 1H-indole-5-carboxyl-ate (I5C) anion and half of a 4,4'-azobi-pyridine (Abpy) neutral ligand. In the coordination polyhedron, the ZnII ion adopts a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The coordination polymer is stabilized by a combination of N-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions, which leads to the formation of wave-like two-dimensional coordination polymeric layers.

4-(2,3-Di-chloro-phen-yl)piperazin-1-ium picrate.

The title compound, C6H2N3O7 -·C10H13Cl2N2 +, crystallizes with one 1-(2,3-di-chloro-phen-yl)piperazine (DP) cation and one picrate (PA) anion in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal structure, the DP cation and PA anion are inter-connected via several N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The DP cation and PA anion are further connected through C-Cl⋯π [3.8201 (4), 3.7785 (4) Å] and N-O⋯π [3.7814 (4) Å] inter-actions. The DP cations are further inter-connected via a weak inter-molecular Cl⋯Cl [3.2613 (4) Å] halogen-halogen inter-action. The combination of these supra-molecular inter-actions leads to a herringbone like supra-molecular architecture.
