The search for co-crystals of amines as

be/journals/cgdefu/7/i09/eqn/cg0701325e10001.gif"> (8) hydrogen-
bonding motif, has yieldedthree co-crystals of
benzidine with
p-benzoquinone, diphenyl sulfoxide, and triphenylphosphine oxide. The crystal structures for allthree materials are reported. Only the co-crystal structure of
benzidine/diphenyl sulfoxide/water reveals the desired motif.
