1. Introduction

Crystal engineering has been defined as the understanding of intermolecular interactions, the packing principles of molecular crystals, and the use of the knowledge generated for rationally designed of novel solids with targeted structures and desired properties [1,2] One of the goals of

RI PT

crystal engineering is to recognize the supramolecular synthons to assemble molecular crystals, among which hydrogen bonds (O-H…O, C-H…O, O-H…N, and so on) and aryl packing (π-π and C-H…π) occupy prominent positions due to their pronounced directionality and relatively high

SC

strength, which is essential for proper design of desired networks [2–4]. There have been rewarding advances in the design of both MOFs and molecular cocrystals [5, 6]. In recent years, cocrystals

M AN U

have emerged as a major research area for obtaining new forms of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) with improved physicochemical properties (e.g., solubility, bioavailability, stability, or melting point) [7–10].

Flavonoids, as one kind of well-known type of APIs, are found throughout the plant kingdom and

TE D

are of scientific interest because of their antioxidant, antitumor, and anti-inflammatory properties [11]. A classical subclass of these compounds is the flavonols, which are characterized by a hydroxyl on C-3 of the flavone scaffold [12]. Most flavonoids possess aromatic rings and/or a

EP

variety of hydroxyl substitution patterns, which could make them particularly promising for the formation of cocrystals with aryl packing and/or extended hydrogen bond frameworks [13]. In recent

AC C

years, by selecting the appropriate coformers (CCF), a few cocrystals of flavonoids have been successfully synthesized. Examples include cocrystals of quercetin with nicotinic acid, caffeine, isonicotinamide and theobromine [14–16]; cocrystal of hesperetin with nicotinic acid; cocrystal of baicalein with nicotinamide [17]; cocrystal of genistein with isonicotinamide [18]; cocrystals of fisetin, luteolin and genistein with pyridinecarboxamide and/or caffeine [19–21]; and cocrystal of myricetin with piracetam [22]. Noted that previous studies show that the N-containing aromatic amines were selected as coformers, which show that the O-H…N heterosynthon can be the

ACCEPTED noticeable motif in cocrystallizing flavonoids MANUSCRIPT [23]. However, the structure-directing effect of N-containing aromatic amines is not clear and certainly bears further investigation. Inspired by the aforementioned considerations, a motivation for exploring the interactions of O-H…N between hydroxyl moiety of the flavonols and the pyridyl ring of N-containing aromatic

RI PT

amines has been put forward [11]. Hence, in this study we reverse the usual study process of seeking coformers that will cocrystallize with a given active pharmaceutical ingredient; instead, we seek cocrystals of 4,4'-bipyridine, one of the most commonly used and readily available coformers[24, 25], using three different flavonols with varying B-ring-hydroxyl groups to explore the number and

SC

direction of intermolecular interactions [26–28]. Our interest in flavonols arises because they possess

M AN U

a variety of hydroxyl substitution patterns that make them particularly interesting for the formation of extended hydrogen-bonded structures [29]. By contrast, the 4,4'-bipyridine has a rigid linear structure with terminal N atoms, which are coordination potential sites for hydrogen bonds towards surface hydroxyls of flavonoids [30]. Furthermore, 4,4'-bipyridine with a good π-electron conjugated system is also an indispensable factor for the construction of aryl stacking supported supramolecular

TE D

structures [31]. This class of organic molecules may form noncovalent interaction hydrogen bonds with aryl packing coexisting in one crystal structure. Therefore, 4,4'-bipyridine was selected to

EP

cocrystallize with a series of flavonols (kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin, as shown in Scheme. 1), and three cocrystals of 4,4'-bipyridine with kaempferol (KAE·BPY·2H2O), quercetin

AC C

(QUE·BPY), and myricetin (MYR·BPY·H2O) were successfully obtained. Their structures and the antibacterial properties were subsequently investigated. The three title compounds show advantages in terms of antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli in comparison to their corresponding parent compounds.

M AN U

3.1 Single crystal X-ray diffraction

The asymmetric unit of KAE·BPY·2H2O comprises two kaempferol molecules, one 4,4'-bipyridine molecule, and two water molecules in their neutral forms. Four kaempferol molecules, two 4,4'-bipyridine molecules, and two water molecules connect by turns to form an octamer (Fig.

TE D

1a) with a large unique synthon I R88(58) via O4'A-H4'A…O2W, O2W-H2W…O5B, O7B-H7B…N4C and O7A-H7A…N4'C hydrogen bonds, as shown in Scheme 2. The adjacent

EP

octamers are connected via strong O3B-H3B…O2W, O3A-H3A…O1W, O1W-H1W…O5A and O4'B-H4'B…O1W hydrogen bonds to generate a 2D supramolecular layer (Fig. 1b). In this 2D layer,

AC C

there are two kinds of synthons Ⅰ R44(18) [O3A-H3A…O1W, O1W-H1W…O5A and O5A-H5A…O4A] and Ⅰ R44(18) [O3B-H3B…O2W, O2W-H2W…O5B and O5B-H5B…O4B] (Scheme 2). As a consequence, the neighboring layers are further extended into a 3D network through the water molecules (the O1W-H1W…O7A and O2W-H2W…O7B hydrogen bonds), (Fig. 1 and Table. 2).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT There are one quercetin molecule and one half of a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule in the asymmetric unit of QUE·BPY, which is shown in Fig. 2a. Within QUE·BPY, two quercetin molecules and two 4,4'-bipyridine molecules alternately embrace to form a tetramer through the synthon Ⅳ R44(42), with intermolecular O4'-H4'···N4'D and O7-H7…N4D hydrogen bonds (Scheme 2). There also

RI PT

exists a 4,4'-bipyridine molecule in the internal of tetramer, which is supported by π…π stacking interactions. The tetramers are further linked by interdimer O3-H3…O4 hydrogen bond to form a 1D

SC

chain along the a axis, in which the synthon Ⅴ R22(10) is constructed by carbonyl and hydroxyl groups (Scheme 2). The neighboring chains afford a 2D layer through the O5'-H5'…O7 hydrogen

M AN U

bond. Significantly, the adjacent layers are further linked through C2'D-H2'D…O5' interlayer hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions to generate a 3D structure (Fig. 2 and Table. 3). In the molecular structure of MYR·BPY·H2O, the asymmetric unit comprises one myricetin molecule, three 4,4'-bipyridine molecules, and one water molecule (Fig. 3a). Two myricetin

TE D

molecules are linked by two water molecules through O4'-H4'···O1W and O1W-H1W'…O4' intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a tetramer, and the tetramers are further linked by an

EP

interdimer O3-H3···O4 hydrogen bond with a synthon Ⅵ R22(10) (Scheme 2) to generate a chain. Meanwhile, as shown in the Fig. 3b, the adjacent chains connect with each other to form a 2D layer

AC C

through synthon Ⅶ R66(29) (Scheme 2) [O5'-H5'…N4C, O3'-H3'…N4'C, O1W-H1W'…O3', O1W-H1W…N4D, and O4'-H4'…O1W]. Finally, the 2D layers are held together by O7-H7···N4E and C2D-H2D...O4' hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions to form the 3D structure of MYR·BPY·H2O, which is displayed in Fig. 3c. The cocrystals of KAE·BPY·2H2O, QUE·BPY and MYR·BPY·H2O present three different synthons ⅠR88(58), Ⅳ R44(42), and Ⅶ R66(29) with 4,4'-bipyridine, respectively, which may show

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT the strategy in constructing the supramolecular structure. Significantly, the 4,4'-bipyridine molecule is involved in the hydrogen bonds system, which plays a crucial role in determining the structure of the self-assembled cocrystal in KAE·BPY·2H2O, QUE·BPY, and MYR·BPY·H2O. 3.2 XPRD

RI PT

The XPRD was used to check the crystalline phase purity of KAE·BPY·2H2O, QUE·BPY, and MYR·BPY·H2O. The results show that the patterns of the products are different from either that of

SC

flavonols or 4,4'-bipyridine dehydrate (Fig. 4). In addition, all the peaks displayed in the measured patterns closely match those in the simulated patterns generated from single crystal diffraction data,

Results of inhibitory areas at concentrations of 30mmol/L are shown in Fig. 5. Meanwhile, the

TE D

diameter values (mm) of inhibitory areas are also listed in Table 5. On nutrient agar plates inoculated with S. aureus and E. coli, we see clearly that the inhibitory areas created around the filter papers

injected with the three cocrystals are wider than the inhibitory areas of their corresponding parent flavonols tested at the same concentrations, and of the control. The inhibition effects of three

cocrystals depend on the concentration of test samples; the test samples with higher concentrations created wider inhibitory areas (Fig. S5-S6). 3.4NMR solution study 1

4. Conclusions

In this paper, three new cocrystals of flavonols with varying B-ring-hydroxyl groups (kaempferol, quercetin and myricetin) combined with 4,4'-bipyridine were obtained using a solution evaporation approach. This was done with the aim of exploring the interactions of O-H…N between hydroxyl

RI PT

moiety of the flavonoids and the pyridyl ring of N-containing aromatic amines, namely KAE·BPY·2H2O, QUE·BPY and MYR·BPY·H2O. The single crystal X-ray analyses reveal that an

SC

array of hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions interconnect the molecules to form 2D supramolecular layer frameworks in all three cocrystals. The three cocrystals present three different

M AN U

synthons–ⅠR88(58), Ⅰ R44(42), and Ⅰ R66(29) with 4,4'-bipyridine, respectively–which may show the strategy in constructing the supramolecule. Interestingly, the number of BPY molecules are one, two, and three in the molecular structures of KAE·BPY·2H2O, QUE·BPY and MYR·BPY·H2O, respectively. In other words, kaempferol possesses one hydroxyl group, quercetin possesses two, and

TE D

myricetin possesses three; such differences cause the difference in acidity between the flavonoids. Kaempferol is the weakest acid, followed by quercetin, while myricetin is the most acidic of them all.

EP

However, BPY is an N-containing aromatic amine with alkali. Therefore, we speculate that kaempferol might form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with one BPY molecule because of it is the

AC C

weakest acid of the abovementioned flavonols. Quercetin has mid-range acidity among these three flavonols; therefore, quercetin might form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with two BPY molecules. Myricetin, the most acidic, might combine with three BPY molecules to form MYR·BPY·H2O. The result demonstrates that the higher the acidity of a flavonol, the more BPY molecules could form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with that flavonol. Most notably, the three cocrystals all share one thing in common—which is that one BPY molecule is connected to flavonol in 7-OH. That being

9

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT said, another BPY molecule is connected with 4'-OH of quercetin in QUE·BPY, two BPY molecules are connected with 3'-OH and 5'-OH of myricetin in MYR·BPY·H2O. These results imply that 7-OH of flavonol preferentially form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with N-containing aromatic amines, followed by the 3'-OH/5'-OH or 4'-OH.

RI PT

In summary, we have provided an insight into three examples of flavonols. The results show that 7-OH, and B-ring-hydroxyl number and/or location of flavonols are key factors for cocrystal

SC

formation. The motif formation and crystal packing in cocrystals of flavonols combined with N-containing aromatic amines. Furthermore, three cocrystals all exhibit admirable antibacterial
