The synthesis and characterization of the multicomponent crystals formed by 2,2′-thiodiacetic acid (H2tda) and 2,6-diaminopurine (Hdap) or N9-(2-hydroxyethyl)adenine (9heade) are detailed in this report. These crystals exist in a salt rather than a co-crystal form, as confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffractometry, which reflects their ionic nature. This analysis confirmed proton transfer from the 2,2′-thiodiacetic acid to the basic groups of the coformers. The new multicomponent crystals have molecular formulas [(H9heade+)(Htda−)] 1 and [(H2dap+)2(tda2−)]·2H2O 2. These were also characterized using FTIR, 1H and 13C NMR and mass spectroscopies, elemental analysis, and thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry (TG/DSC) analyses. In the crystal packing the ions interact with each other via O–H⋯N, O–H⋯O, N–H⋯O, and N–H⋯N hydrogen bonds, generating cyclic hydrogen-bonded motifs with graph-set notation of R 2 2 (16), R 2 2 (10), R 3 2 (10), R 3 3 (10), R 2 2 (9), R 3 2 (8), and R 4 2 (8), to form different supramolecular homo- and hetero-synthons. In addition, in the crystal packing of 2, pairs of diaminopurinium ions display a strong anti-parallel π,π-stacking interaction, characterized by short inter-centroids and interplanar distances (3.39 and 3.24 Å, respectively) and a fairly tight angle (17.5°). These assemblies were further analyzed energetically using DFT calculations, MEP surface analysis, and QTAIM characterization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
