Supramolecular Water Morphology and Methanol Solvate in a Functionalized Pymetrozine Host

Abstract

The crystals of functionalized pymetrozine hydrochloride salts in water (crystal 1) and neutral pymetrozine in methanol (crystal 2) have been obtained. The carbonyl group and the nitrogen atom of Schiff base group of pymetrozine interact with hydrophilic groups (-OH) of methanol or water molecule to form one five-member ring via functional hydrogen bonds. Present results provide new insight and an understanding of the three-dimensional structural aspects of hydrogen bonded liquids with important implications in the structure and behaviour of functional molecules in biological systems.
