Abstract
We apply crystal engineering principles to prepare organic co-crystals and salts of sulfadiazine and pyridines. Pyridines are molecular building blocks utilized in crystal engineering that can disrupt the hydrogen bonded (amidine) N-H⋯N (pyrimidine) dimer within the parent sulfa drug (SD) crystals, while providing access to both co-crystals and salts. We have synthesized four co-crystals and three salts of sulfadiazine involving N,N-dimethyl-4- aminopyridine, 4-aminopyridine, 4-picoline, 4,4′-bipyridine, (E)-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene, 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)acetylene, and 4-(pyridin-4-yl)piperazine. Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal three hydrogen-bond motifs, namely, dyads, rings, and chains based involving either (amidine/aniline) N-H⋯N (pyridine/pyrimidine), (pyridinium) +N-H⋯N-(amidide), (aniline/piperazine) N-H⋯O2S (sulfoxide) interactions, or a combination thereof. The hydrogen-bond motifs are assigned as D11(2), R22(8), R22(20), C22(17), and C22(13) graph sets. An analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) reveals that the S-N bond length is generally shorter in complexes based on an anionic SD, which is consistent with the sulfonamide possessing greater S=N character. From an analysis of SD-based structures involving our work and the CSD, we present a heretofore not discussed role of tautomers at the co-crystal-salt boundary. Specifically, the ability of tautomeric forms of SDs to display reconfigurable exteriors, and thereby act as chameleons, enables SDs to accommodate different co-formers by assuming different geometries and adopting different regions along the co-crystal-salt boundary. © 2012 American Chemical Society.
