Solvent inclusion in the crystal structure of bis[(adamantan-1-yl)methanaminium chloride] 1,4-dioxane hemisolvate monohydrate explained using the computed crystal energy landscape

چکیده
Repeated attempts to crystallize 1-adamantane-methyl-amine hydro-chloride as an anhydrate failed but the salt was successfully crystallized as a solvate (2C11H20N+·2Cl-·0.5C4H8O2·H2O), with water and 1,4-dioxane playing a structural role in the crystal and engaging in hydrogen-bonding inter-actions with the cation and anion. Computational crystal-structure prediction was used to rationalize the solvent-inclusion behaviour of this salt by computing the solvent-accessible voids in the predicted low-energy structures for the anhydrate: the global lattice-energy minimum structure, which has the same packing of the ions as the solvate, has solvent-accessible voids that account for 3.71% of the total unit-cell volume and is 6 kJ mol-1 more stable than the next most stable predicted structure.

In the title solvate, C19H13N5O·0.5C4H8O2, the main mol-ecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation for the non-H atoms = 0.066 Å). The hydroxyl-amine group is disordered over two orientations in a 0.761 (4):0.239 (4) ratio. The complete dioxane solvent mol-ecule is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre. In the crystal, both disorder components of the hydroxyl-amine group form O-H⋯N hyd...
