    4-Chloroanilinium 2-carboxy-4,5-dichlorobenzoate
    Smith, G ; Wermuth, UD ; White, JM (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009-09)
    The structure of the 1:1 proton-transfer compound of 4-chloro-aniline with 4,5-dichloro-phthalic acid (DCPA), viz. C(6)H(7)ClN(+)·C(8)H(3)Cl(2)O(4) (-), has been determined at 130 K. The non-planar hydrogen phthalate anions and the 4-chloro-anilinium cations form two-dimensional O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded substructures which have no peripheral extension. Between the sheets there are weak π-π associations between alternating cation-anion aromatic ring systems [shortest centroid-centroid separation = 3.735 (4) Å].

    1,10-Phenanthrolin-1-ium 2-carboxy-4,5-dichlorobenzoate
    Smith, G ; Wermuth, UD ; White, JM (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009-10)
    In the structure of the 1:1 proton-transfer compound of 1,10-phenanthroline with 4,5-dichloro-phthalic acid, C(12)H(9)N(2) (+)·C(8)H(3)Cl(2)O(4) (-), determined at 130 K, the 1,10-phenanthrolinium cation and the hydrogen 4,5-dichloro-phthalate anion associate through a single N-H⋯O(carbox-yl) hydrogen bond giving discrete units which have no extension except through a number of weak cation C-H⋯O(anion) associations and weak cation-anion aromatic ring π-π inter-actions [minimum centroid-centroid separation = 3.6815 (12) Å]. The anions are essentially planar "[maximum deviation 0.214 (1) Å (a carboxyl O)] with the syn-related H atom of the carboxyl group, forming a short intra-molecular O-H⋯O(carbox-yl) hydrogen bond.
