Preparation of Multiple Cocrystals of Trithiocyanuric Acid with Some N‑Donor Compounds

Varied
multicomponent molecular assemblies of trithiocyanuric acid
(TCA) with N-donor compounds are prepared by varying the reaction
conditions. The rational structural features, from a basic molecular
recognition pattern to three-dimensional molecular assemblies, of
the obtained molecular complexes are explained in detail with the
help of single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The structural
analysis highlights, within the cocrystals, TCA with multiple hydrogen
bonding groups are capable of forming variable molecular patterns
on its own results in varied molecular assemblies for the individual
molecular ensembles with 4,4′-bipyridine (bpy),
1,2-bis-(4-pyridyl)­ethylene (bpyea), and 1,7-phenanthroline
(phen).
