The present review is aimed to compare crystal packing interactions contributing stacking arrangements of primarily nonaromatic systems referring only briefly classical aromatic stacking. mainly based on weak dispersion (E ≤ 1 kcal mol–1) whereas heteroaromatics reveal more electrostatic (or specifically dipolar) contributions = 5–10 mol–1).

On supramolecular chemistry grounds proton donors (chloranilic acid) and acceptors (organic bases) were combined to generate multi-component hydrogen bonded systems. Two steps of deprotonation chloranilic acid, leading the monoanion dianion, are coupled by a single or double electron delocalization, respectively. The dissociation acid is accompanied transfer from an organic base if their ΔpKa value large enough support salt formation. A series salts with bases such as dimethylamine,...
Salts and ionic cocrystals simultaneously comprising N-oxide carboxylic acid functional groups constitute a very fertile ground for the investigation of various proton transfer phenomena. This is because such compounds combine two types transfer: that is, inter- intramolecular hydrogen bonding in acid–base systems.
