Crystal structure of the co-crystalline adduct 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD)–4-bromophenol (1/2)

Abstract

The structure of the 1:2 co-crystalline adduct C8H16N4·2C6H5BrO, (I), from the solid-state reaction of 1,3,6,8-tetraazatricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) and 4-bromophenol, has been determined. The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystalline adduct comprises a half molecule of aminal cage polyamine plus a 4-bromophenol molecule. A twofold rotation axis generates the other half of the adduct. The primary inter-species association in the title compound is through two intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the adducts are linked by weak non-conventional C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, giving a two-dimensional supramolecular structure parallel to thebcplane.
