Hydrogen-bonded supramolecular motifs in the 1:1 monohydrated molecular adduct of acetoguanaminium chloride with acetoguanamine and in 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinediium dichloride dihydrate.

In the 1:1 monohydrated molecular adduct 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium chloride 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine monohydrate, C(4)H(8)N(5)(+).Cl(-).C(4)H(7)N(5).H(2)O, formed between 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-1-ium chloride (acetoguanaminium chloride) and 2,4-diamino-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazine (acetoguanamine), and in triaminopyrimidinediium dichloride dihydrate, C(4)H(9)N(5)(2+).2Cl(-).2H(2)O, whose cationic component lies across a twofold rotation axis, the protonation occurs at the ring N atoms and the bond distances in the protonated molecules indicate significant bond alterations, consistent with charge-separated polar forms. The supramolecular structures of both compounds are stabilized by systems of hydrogen bonds forming complex sheets, interlinked by sets of hydrogen bonds involving the solvent water molecules and the chloride anions.
