a b s t r a c t Cocrystallizations of melamine (ma) with m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid (sppH3) from water in different molar ratios (2:1 and 4:1) offer [(maH)2(sppH)]3H2O (1) and [(maH)3(spp)(ma)]12H2O (2), respectively. Structure analysis reveals that two very intricate hydrogen-bonded networks are formed in them, with two or three protons of the m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid being transferred to melamine. The resultant (sppH)2 or (sppH)3 anion can form as many as 12 or 14 hydrogen bonds with melamine and water molecules, showing a very high hydrogen-bonding capability. Ó 2012 Elsevier B.V.

1. Introduction The understanding of intermolecular interactions in molecular crystals is very significant for the design of novel materials with tailored structures and properties [1]. Specifically, hydrogen bond is one of the most important intermolecular interactions, owing to its directionality and energetic favorability [2]. With this in mind, a large number of crystal structures has been evaluated during the last two decades and a series of frequently recurring hydrogen-bond motifs has been identified. As an excellent hydrogen donor and hydrogen acceptor, melamine, a famous organic base with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton, has been widely utilized to create one-, two-, and three-dimensional (1D, 2D, and 3D) networks in combination with various carboxylic acids such as glutaric acid, maleic acid, terephthalic acid, benzene1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, malonic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, Kemp’s triacid, bile acid, dihydroxybenzoic acid, and tris(2-

carboxyethyl)isocyanuric acid [3,4]. However, the employment of other organic acid such as sulfonic or phosphonic acid as the counterpart component were rarely investigated [5,6]. Compared with carboxylic acid, sulfonic or phosphonic acid features additional potential hydrogen-bonding sites owing to their third O atoms, which would lead to more complicated hydrogen-bond interactions. This stimulates us to construct supramolecular architectures of melamine and m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid (a trinary acid containing both sulfonic and phosphonic moieties, marked as sppH3), which would be expected to exhibit diversified hydrogen-bonding modes and interesting architectures. So far no cocrystals of sppH3 with organic base have been structurally characterized, although our previously works have shown that (spp)3 anion can be efficiently used to construct metal phosphonate clusters [7]. In addition, the (sppH)2 anion can also be employed as an organic counter-ion for constructing hybrid inorganic–organic supramolecular arrays [8]. Our current research efforts yielded two cocrystals of melamine (ma) with sppH3 in different molar ratios from water solution, namely, [(maH)2 (sppH)]3H2O (1) and [(maH)3(spp)(ma)]12H2O (2). Herein, we report their syntheses and crystal structures.

2. Experimental 2.1. Materials and methods m-Phosphonophenylsulfonic acid was synthesized according to the procedures previously described by Montoneri [9]. All other chemicals were obtained from commercial sources and used without further purification. Elemental analyses were performed on a German Elementary Vario EL III instrument. FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Perkin–Elmer Spectrum 2000 FT-IR spectrometer using KBr pellets in the range of 4000–400 cm1. 2.1.1. Synthesis of [(maH)2(sppH)]3H2O (1) Compound 1 was prepared by mixing hot aqueous solutions of melamine and sppH3 at 2:1 M ratio. The hot mixtures were stirred at room temperature and filtered. After a few days, colorless palte-shaped crystals of 1 were deposited from the filtrates, in a ca. 88% yield based on sppH3. Anal. Calcd for C12H25N12O9P1S1 (Mr = 544.47): C 26.47, H 4.63, N 30.87%. Found: C 26.41, H 4.78, N 30.75%. IR data (KBr, cm1): 3363(s), 3147(s), 2694(m), 2449(m), 1622(s), 1560(m), 1514(s), 1406(m), 1334(m), 1223(s), 1157(s), 1113(s), 1036(s), 980(m), 904(m), 796(m), 777(m), 688(m), 622(m), 553(s). 2.1.2. Synthesis of [(maH)3(spp)(ma)]12H2O (2) Compound 2 was prepared in a similar procedure except that the ratio of melamine and sppH3 was increased to 4:1. The resultant crystals are block-shaped. Yield: ca. 81% based on sppH3. Anal. Calcd for C18H55N24O18P1S1 (Mr = 958.89): C 22.55, H 5.78, N 35.06%. Found: C 22.63, H 5.64, N 35.12%.

Crystal structure determination for compounds 1 and 2 Data collection for compounds 1 and 2 were performed on a Smart ApexII CCD diffractometer equipped with a graphite-monochromated Mo Ka radiation (k = 0.71073 Å). Intensity data for both compounds were collected using u and x scans at 296 K. The data sets were corrected for Lorentz and polarization factors as well as for absorption by SADABS program [10]. Both structures were solved by the direct method and refined by full-matrix leastsquares fitting on F2 by SHELX-97 [11]. All hydrogen atoms except those attached to the O atoms or the ring N atoms were generated geometrically. All non-hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters whereas all hydrogen atoms were refined isotropically. The hydrogen atoms for the water molecules in 2 are not included in the refinements. Crystallographic data and structural refinements for 1 and 2 are summarized in Table 1. Important bond lengths and angles for them are listed in Tables 2 and 4, respectively. 3. Results and discussion 3.1. Description of structure 1 Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1. The asymmetric unit of it contains one 2H-deprotonated (sppH)2 anion, two 1H-protonated (maH)+ cations, and three water molecules (Fig. 1). Judging from the PAO and SAO bond distances of the (sppH)2 anion (Table 2), one sulfonic and one phosphonic protons of sppH3 are transferred to two ring N atoms (N2 and N8) of two melamine molecules. The protonation of each melamine molecule at one of its three ring N atoms is also evidenced by the fact that

the internal CANAC angle involving the protonated ring N atom is significantly greater than the remaining two CANAC angles involving the non-protonated ring N atoms (Table 2), on considering that the lone pair of electrons on the ring N atoms occupies a wider region than the NAH bonding pair. Extensive hydrogen bond interactions can be observed in 1. A close analysis reveals that there are three types of secondary building units (SBUs) in the crystal structure (Fig. 2): cationic [(maH)+]1 ribbon, anionic [(sppH)2]2 dimer and netural water molecules (marked as A, B and C, respectively). SBU A, a onedimensional [(maH)+]1 ribbon running along the b-axis, is formed by pairs of the almost linear NAH  N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 2a, Table 3) between two crystallographically independent (maH)+ cations. Such ribbon is frequently observed in cocrystals of melamine [3–6], and it features a N4-involved R22 ð8Þ ring motif, discussed here according to graph-set analysis nomenclature [12]. On the other hand, SBU B, a [(sppH)2]2 dimer related by an inverse center, is formed by a pair of somewhat short but very strong O1AH1A  O2 hydrogen bonds in an almost linear geometry (Fig. 2b, Table 3). Thus, a centrosymmetric, O4-involved R22 ð8Þ ring motif can be identified in B. The combination of two adjacent A ribbons through the hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions of the charge-balanced B dimers leads to a larger-scale one-dimensional ladder-like chain ‘‘A–B1–A’’ (Fig. 3), generating five new H-bonding patterns (i.e., N2O2-involved R22 ð8Þ, N3O1-involved R23 ð8Þ, N3O2-involved R33 ð9Þ, N1O3-involved R23 ð12Þ, and N4O4-involved R44 ð24Þ rings). Such ‘‘A– B1–A’’ chain possesses inherited inverse centers arising from the centered B dimers. Furthermore, the ladder-like ‘‘A–B1–A’’ chains stack along the ac-plane via inter-chain p  p packing interactions between pairs of the neighboring melamine rings, leaving out a centrosymmetric hydrophilic channel running along the b-axis, with SBU C (three crystallographically independent guest water molecules) residing in it (Fig. 4). It is worthy of note that such a channel is surrounded by abundant amino groups and phosphonate/sulfonate groups, which function as H-bond donors and

which is further stablized by p  p stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of the melamines. 3.2. Description of structure 2 Compound 2 also crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1. The asymmetric unit of it contains one 3H-deprotonated (spp)3 anion, three 1H-protonated (maH)+ cations, one netural melamine molecule, and as many as twelve water molecules (Fig. 5). Judging from the PAO and SAO bond distances of the (spp)3 anion (Table 4), one sulfonic and two phosphonic protons of sppH3 are transferred to three ring N atoms (N1, N7 and N13) of three melamine molecules, which is different to that in 1. The 1H-protonation of three melamine molecules in 2 is also evidenced by the fact that

the internal CANAC angle involving the protonated ring N atom is significantly greater than the remaining two CANAC angles involving the non-protonated ring N atoms (Table 4). Compared with 1, more complicated hydrogen bond interactions can be observed in 2, although the location of all hydrogen atoms of the water molecules could not be accurately evaluated because of the somewhat poor crystal data of 2. The SBUs in the crystal structure of 2 also can be classified as three categories: cationic {[(maH)3(ma)]3+}1 ribbon, anionic (spp)3 monomer and twelve netural water molecules (marked as A0 , B0 and C0 , respectively). SBU A0 , a one-dimensional {[(ma)(maH)3]3+}1 ribbon running along the a-axis, is formed by pairs of the almost linear NAH  N hydrogen bonds (Fig. 6a, Table 5) among one netural and three 1H-protonated melamine molecules, which is similar

to the A SBU in 1. On the other hand, different to the B SBU in 1, the B0 SBU in 2 is an anionic (spp)3 monomer and acts as a highcapacity H-bond acceptor becauce of its six H-free O atoms. The combination of the A0 ribbons via the hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions of the charge-balanced B0 monomers generates a complicated two-dimensional \—A02 —B1 —A02 —B1 —" double-layer, in which the phosphonate and sulfonate moieties of the B0 monomers are H-bonded with one and two A0 ribbons, respectively (Fig. 7). Such double-layer possesses inverse centers located between two adjacent (spp)3 monomers along the a-axis. Furthermore, these double-layers stack along the b-axis via intra- and inter-layer p  p packing interactions between pairs of the neighboring melamine rings (Fig. 6b), of which two adjacent double-layers are also related by inverse centers. Similarly to the stacking of the ladder-like ‘‘A–B1–A’’ chains in 1, the stacking of the double-layers in 2 also leaves out a centrosymmetric hydrophilic channel running along the b-axis, but with more guest water molecules (SBU C0 ) residing in it (Fig. 8).

Because all hydrogen atoms of the water molecules were not localized, the hydrogen bonds marked with  were determined from donor–acceptor distances. Symmetry codes: #1 1  x, y, 1  z; #2 2  x, y, z; #3 1 + x, y, 1 + z; #4 x, 1  y, z; #5 1  x, 1  y, z; #6 1 + x, y, z; #7 x, 1  y, 1  z; #8–1  x, 1  y, 1  z; #9 x, y, 1  z; #10 1  x, 1  y, 1  z.

Overall, the self-assembly of the host \—A02 —B1 —A02 —B1 —" and guest C0 components results in an intricate hydrogen-bonded network, which is further stablized by p  p stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of the melamines. 4. Conclusion In summary, two very intricate hydrogen-bonded networks are observed in 1 and 2. The hydrogen bonds and electrostatic interactions of the partly or fully deprotonated m-sulfophenylphosphonic acid with the protonated and/or neutural melamine in 1 and 2 generate a one-dimensional ladder-like chain of [(maH)2(sppH)] and a two-dimensional double-layer of [(maH)3(spp)(ma)], respectively, depending on the initial (ma):(sppH3) molar ratios. Furthermore, the p  p stacking interactions between the melamine rings contribute to their overall three-dimensional packings, which also leave out hydrophilic channels with guest water molecules
