Abstract The X-ray structure of the biologically most active polymorph (Form II) of 5-methoxysulfadiazine (1) and that of the 1∶1 complex between this sulfonamide and acetylsalicylic acid (2) are reported. The polymorph1 is monoclinic, space groupP21/c witha=13.086(2) Å,b=5.583(1) Å,c=17.222(3) Å, β=99.98(1)°,Z=4 and occurs as centrosymmetric hydrogen bonded (N−H...N) dimers in the crystal. This arrangement differs from that observed in other polymorphs of the drug. Complex2 is triclinic, $$P\bar 1$$ ,a=8.102(1)Å,b=12.033(1) Å,c=12.170(2) Å, α=111.67(1)°, β=93.77(1)°, γ=103.82(1)°,Z=2. Complexation involves linear intermolecular hydrogen bonds, N−H...O=C and N...O−H, between the amide group and pyrimidinyl N atom of the sulfonamide and the carboxylic group of the acetylsalicylic acid. On complexation to form2, neither molecular component undergoes any major structural change.
