The supramolecular interactions of the planar guanidinium cation (C(NH2)3+) with benzenesulphonate (1), -phosphonate (2) and -arsonate (3) anions, and several of their 3- and 4-nitro-substituted derivatives is reported. In all cases well-defined crystalline materials, containing hydrogen-bonded networks with quasi-hexagonal sheet lattices were formed. However, the unsubstituted sulphonate (1) formed a 1:1 guanidinium:sulphonate bilayer structure, whilst the unsubstituted phosphonate (2) and arsonate (3) formed 2:1 guanidinium: phosphonate/arsonate single-layer structures with water occluded within the crystal voids. The additional H-bonding interactions resulting in distortion of the crystal voids in (2)/(3) as compared to the symmetrical hexagonal-form in (1). In the case of the nitro-substituted sulphonate derivatives, the 1:1 bilayer structure of the parent (1) was retained for the 3- nitrobenzenesulphonate (4), but transformed to a 1:1 single-layer system for the 4-nitrobenzenesulphonate (6). The reverse was observed for the nitrated phosphonic acids, whereby the 4-nitrobenzenephosphonate anion in (5) caused little disruption to the 2:1 single-layered structure and quasi-hexagonal sheet seen in (2), but the 3-nitrobenzenephosphonate caused a breakdown of the network forming a new, complex ribbon system (7). The greater complexity of the P/As (-2) structures compared to the S (-1) structure is attributed to the higher charge on the former anions providing additional opportunities for H-bonding. The observation of such interactions clearly indicates the likelihood of such species interacting with biologically-important arginine residues in vivo with concomitant unintended, but likely, toxic consequences.
Role of Hydrogen Bonding in Phase Change Materials

Phase change materials (PCMs), which melt in the temperature range of 100-230 °C, are a promising alternative for the storage of thermal energy. In this range, large amounts of energy available from solar-thermal, or other forms of renewable heat, can be stored and applied to domestic or industrial processes, or to an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) engine to generate electricity. The amount of energy absorbed is related to the latent heat of fusion ( "Hf) and is often connected to the extent of hydrogen bonding in the PCM. Herein, we report fundamental studies, including crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis, of a family of guanidinium organic salts that exhibit high values of "Hf ?, demonstrating that the presence and strength of H-bonds between ions play a key role in this property.
