Abstract
The 2-amino-4(1H)-pyrimidone (isocytosine) ring system has been explor ed as a molecular functionality for the supramolecular synthesis of hy drogen-bonded rod and layered organic materials, Advantages of this ri ng system are its ability to form complementary hydrogen-bonding patte rns in both one and two dimensions with a molecular repeat distance of approximately 6.6 Angstrom. Disadvantages of this ring system are its susceptibility to tautomerism and its conformational requirements for the formation of strong hydrogen bonds. Various isocytosine derivativ es were prepared, and their crystal structures determined in order to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of this ring system for the development of strategies for supramolecular synthesis.
