The title compounds, 6-nitroquinazolin-4(3H)-one (C8H5N3O3; I), 6-aminoquinazolin-4(3H)-one (C8H7N3O; II) and 4-aminoquinazolin-1-ium chloride–4-aminoquinazoline–water (1/1/2), (C8H8N3
+·Cl−·C8H7N3·2H2O; III) were synthesized and their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. In the crystals of I and II, the quinazoline molecules form hydrogen-bonded dimers via N—H...O interactions. The dimers are connected by weak intermolecular C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a layered structure in the case of I. In the crystal of II, N—H...N and C—H...O interactions link the dimers into a three-dimensional network structure. The asymmetric unit of III consists of two quinazoline molecules, one of which is protonated, a chloride ion, and two water molecules. The chloride anion and the water molecules form hydrogen-bonded chains consisting of fused five-membered rings. The protonated and unprotonated quinazolin molecules are linked to the chloride ions and water molecules of the chain by their amino groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
