Supramolecular hydrogen-bonding networks in bis(adeninium) phthalate phthalic acid 1.45-hydrate.
In the title compound, 2C(5)H(6)N(5)(+).C(8)H(4)O(4)(2-).C(8)H(6)O(4).1.45H(2)O, the asymmetric unit comprises two adeninium cations, two half phthalate anions with crystallographic C(2) symmetry, one neutral phthalic acid molecule, and one fully occupied and one partially occupied site (0.45) for water molecules. The adeninium cations form N-H...O hydrogen bonds with the phthalate anions. The cations also form infinite one-dimensional polymeric ribbons via N-H...N interactions. In the crystal packing, hydrogen-bonded columns of cations, anions and phthalate anions extend parallel to the c axis. The water molecules crosslink adjacent columns into hydrogen-bonded layers.
