the effect of hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking to stabilization of 3d networks of a new proton compound, (a-6-mpyh)(hpyzd) h2o

a new proton transfer compound, formulated as (hamp-6-pic)(hpyzd) ∙h2o (1), has been synthesized from the reaction of pyrazine-2,3-dicarboxylic acid (h2pyzd)  and 2-amino-6-methyl pyridine (amp-6-pic), in 1:1 molar ratio. extensive o−h×××o, n−h×××n and o−h×××o hydrogen bonds involving (hamp-6-pic)+ cation, (hpyzd)- anion and co-crystal water molecule٫ static electronic٫ and π…π stacking interactions form a three-dimensional network.
