Molecules to supermolecules and self assembly : a study of some cocrystals of cyanuric acid

Abstract The preparation and structure elucidation of cocrystals 1a , 1b , 2a – 4a , formed from cyanuric acid ( CA ) and the aza-donor compounds 4,7-phenanthroline, 1,7-phenanthroline, phenazine and 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, respectively, have been reported. While CA forms different types of self-assembling modes—monomers ( 1a ), dimers ( 1b and 4a ) and infinite tapes ( 2a and 3a )—the recognition of the constituents, however, is through a triple hydrogen-bonding pattern, consisting of an N–H⋯N and two C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds, except in 4a .
