Investigation of some layered structures of cyanuric acid

Synthesis and molecular packing analysis of the crystal structures of three complexes of cyanuric acid with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), dimethylamine (DMA) and dimethylformamide (DMF) respectively, in a 2:2, 2:1 and 1:1 ratio has been reported. In all three molecular complexes, cyanuric acid molecules form molecular tapes through the formation of strong cyclic N–H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the adjacent molecules. These tapes are further arranged in two-dimensions yielding layered structures such that the guest molecules (DMSO, DMA and DMF) are being incorporated between the tapes.
