Figure 1. Schematic representation of structures basedon repeating units of 1-2. Melamines are represented by filled triangles, diethylbarbituric acid is represented by open triangles, and the triad of hydrogen bonds is represented by the three connecting dotted lines. Regions of unfavorable steric interactions are indicated by the arrows. The structure of 7 superimposes one pair of R groups on a unit of 2 to showthe steric strain. ethanol as a solvate. 8 Figure 2 (lower) shows the structure of lb (X= C (CH3) 3) and 2.9 The mean planes of all the rosettes in the crystal are parallel: that is, they do not adopt a herringbone packing motif. No solvent of crystallization is included in the lattice.We hypothesize that a competition between nonbonded steric interactions between the X groups and a tendency for a high packing coefficient10 in the crystal is important in determining which structural motif is adopted by a 1: 1 cocrystal of 1 and 2. We assume that any structure must retain the triad pattern of hydrogen bonds. The linear tape 3 is observed for a number of groups X that are small (F, Cl, Br, I, CH3). When X becomes larger than CF3 or I, 11 unfavorable lateral nonbonding interactions between X groups on adjacent melamines (Figure 1) are relieved in going to the crinkled structure 4, but are replaced by unfavorable interactions with the ethyl groups of 2 (Figure 2, bottom). 12 The
