Abstract
One novel organic-inorganic hybrid supramolecular compound named Adeninium orthoperiodate (1−)
bis(hydrate) (I) has been synthesized and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray
diffraction complemented with a quantum chemical study performed with DFT method at the B3LYP/3–
21G
level. The title compound crystallized in the monoclinic centrosymmetric P 2

molecular arrangement, the different entities are held together through the interplay of intermolecular

graph set notation involving the adeninium Hoogsteen sites (N6—H1N···N7). The role of such interactions
is known to be predominant in the stabilization of the usual 1H,9H tautomer. The different intermolecular
interactions of (I) were quantified and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, enrichment ratio (E)
and fingerprint plots. The obtained results indicate that the main contributions are ascribed to O···H and
H···H interactions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to provide an extremely enlarged image
of the sample morphology of (I), as well as information on its chemical composition using an energy dispersive
X-ray spectrometer (EDS) detector, which confirms that the compound was successfully synthesized.
The complementary theoretical achievements were found in a good agreement with respect to the
experimental data. Moreover, a natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis was performed to evaluate the nature
of bonding and the strength of the intra and inter-molecular interactions. Furthermore, the calculations
of HOMO and LUMO energies were carried out to investigate the charge transfer within the molecular
structure. The molecular electrostatic potential maps were used to detect the possible electrophilic and
nucleophilic sites in (I).
