The crystal structures (determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies) and hydrogen-bond patterns of three crystalline 1,2-dialkyl-3-hydroxy-4-pyridones and their 1:1 formic acid solvates are elucidated. The primary hydrogen-bond connectivities observed are explained by a model that predicts that the best donor bonds to the best acceptor...

... Neither the solubility model nor the melting point model identified any descriptor related to the hydrogen bond properties of the molecules as an important determinant, a feature that has been identified previously as being important for the formation of a stable crystal lattice. 9,11,12 However, compounds with a large number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds in the crystal, e.g., phenytoin as identified in the Cambridge Structural Database, version 5.27 (Cambridge Crystallographic Data Center, U.K.), were correctly sorted using these rigidity and aromaticity descriptors. We note that the number of hydrogen bond donors is essentially equal for the compounds in the data set, varying between 0 and 2, whereas the number of hydrogen bond acceptors varies between 2 (Max eV #3). ...
