Abstract

A series of co-crystals of trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethylene (bpe) with aliphatic saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, of the type [(bpe)(L)] (L = dicarboxylic acid), were prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallography. In all cases chains of the type acid···bpe···acid were formed via strong O–H···N hydrogen bonds. The chains were further linked between them by weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds, π–π and herringbone interactions to form three-dimensional ...
