Abstract
Adipic acid binds to cytosine to form H-bonded discrete cytosine–cytosinium assemblies embedded in 1D infinite chain of adipic acid, whereas citric acid stabilizes trimeric cytosine–cytosinium assemblies having length of 19.44 Å stabilized between layered structures of citric acid molecules.
► Self-assembly of cytosine is guided by polycarboxylic acids. ► Trimer of cytosine–cytosinium pairs are generated in citric acid assembly. ► Discrete cytosine–cytosinium pairs are held in assemblies of adipic acid.
