(R)‐N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐Hydroxy‐5‐methyl­phenyl)‐2‐phenyl­ethyl]‐2‐methyl‐1‐phenyl­propyl­ammonium chloride

In the title compound, C₂₅H₃₀NO⁺·Cl⁻, the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of the new stereogenic centre (the C atom adjacent to the N atom on the phenol side) is determined to have an R configuration.     

6‐(2‐Chloro­acetamido)­hexa­noic acid

Crystals of the title compound, C₈H₁₄ClNO₃, belong to the space group Cc and are characterized by an asymmetric unit containing two mol­ecules, both with a twisted conformation. The mol­ecular packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds between the amide groups of mol­ecules with the same conformation. In addition, hydrogen‐bonded cyclic carboxylic acid dimers are established between mol­ecules with a different conformation. The ClCH₂—CONH bond has a cis conformation in order to favour an intra­molecular Cl⋯HN electrostatic inter­action. Weak intra‐ and inter­molecular CH₂⋯O=C inter­actions are also present.     

Ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)­phenyl]­carbamate,ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]­carbamate and ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]­carbamate

In ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₄, all of the non‐H atoms lie on a mirror plane in the space group Pnma; the mol­ecules are linked into simple chains by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The mol­ecules of ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₂INO₄, are linked into sheets by a combination of O—H⋯I and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a dipolar I⋯O contact. Ethyl N‐­[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₂H₁₅NO₄, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P; pairs of mol­ecules are weakly linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and these aggregates are linked into chains by two independent aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions.     

Dichloro­[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methane]zinc(II) and di‐μ‐chloro‐bis­{chloro­[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methane]cadmium(II)}

The Zn atom in dichloro­[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)­methane]zinc(II), [ZnCl₂(C₁₁H₁₆N₄)], (I), is tetra­hedrally coordinated by two N atoms from one bis­(3,5‐dimethyl­pyrazol­yl)methane ligand and two terminal Cl atoms. The mol­ecule has no crystallographic symmetry. One H atom of the CH₂ group of the bis­(3,5‐dimethyl­pyrazol­yl)methane ligand inter­acts with a Cl atom of an adjacent mol­ecule to yield inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl contacts, thereby forming a one‐dimensional zigzag chain extending along the b axis. On the other hand, in di‐μ‐chloro‐bis­{chloro­[(3,5‐dimethyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐1‐yl)methane]cadmium(II)}, [Cd₂Cl₄(C₁₁H₁₆N₄)₂], (II), each of the two crystallographically equivalent Cd atoms is penta­coordinated by two N atoms from one bis­(3,5‐dimethyl­pyrazol­yl)methane ligand, and by one terminal and two bridging Cl⁻ anions. The mol­ecule has a crystallographic centre of symmetry located at the mid‐point of the Cd⋯Cd line. One H atom of the CH₂ group of the bis­(3,5‐dimethyl­pyrazolyl)­methane ligand inter­acts with a Cl atom of an adjacent mol­ecule to produce pairwise inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl contacts, thereby affording chains of mol­ecules running along the c axis.     

Salicylaldehyde 4,4′‐(hexane‐1,6‐di­yl)­thio­semicarbazone

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃OS, is in the thio­keto form, with the thione S and hydrazine N atoms cis with respect to each other so that the S atom is involved in inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds simultaneously. Inter­molecular C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in one‐dimensional polymeric chains of mol­ecules along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π ring inter­action binds the polymeric chains together.     

Aqua(2,2′‐bipyrid­yl)­chloro­nitrato­copper(II)

In a new hydrogen‐bonded three‐dimensional complex, [CuCl(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)], the Cu atom has an elongated tetra­gonal octa­hedral environment, with two 2,2′‐bipyridyl N atoms, one nitrate O atom and one Cl atom forming the equatorial plane, and a second O atom of the nitrate anion and a water mol­ecule in the axial positions. The complex mol­ecules are linked to form a three‐dimensional supra­molecular array by hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions both between the water O atom and nitrate O atoms, and between the water O atom and the Cl atom of a neighboring mol­ecule.     

Supramolecular structures of three isomeric 4‐(methyl­phenylamino)­pyridine‐3‐sulfonamides

The structures of the three title isomers, namely 4‐(2‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (I), 4‐(3‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (II), and 4‐(4‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (III), all C₁₂H₁₃N₃O₂S, differ in their hydrogen‐bonding arrangements. In all three mol­ecules, the conformation of the 4‐amino­pyridine‐3‐sulfon­amide moiety is conserved by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a C—H⋯O inter­action. In the supra­mol­ecular structures of all three isomers, similar C(6) chains are formed via inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to C(4) chains in (I), and to R₂²(8) centrosymmetric dimers in (II) and (III). In each isomer, the overall effect of all hydrogen bonds is to form layer structures.     

N—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions in 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐(p‐tol­yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole and 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

The title compounds, C₁₀H₁₂N₄, (I), and C₉H₁₀N₄, (II), have been synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and structurally. The dihedral angles between the triazole and benzene ring planes are 26.59 (9) and 42.34 (2)°, respectively. In (I), mol­ecules are linked principally by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino NH₂ group and a triazole N atom, forming R₄⁴(20) and R₂⁴(10) rings which link to give a three‐dimensional network of mol­ecules. The hydrogen bonding is supported by two different C—H⋯π inter­actions from the tolyl ring to either a triazole ring or a tolyl ring in neighboring mol­ecules. In (II), inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions produce R₃⁴(15) and R₄⁴(21) rings.     

catena‐Poly[[{4‐bromo‐2‐[2‐(di­methyl­amino)­ethyl­imino­meth­yl]­phenolato}­copper(II)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato]

The title complex, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₄BrN₂O)(NCS)]_n, is an inter­esting thio­cyanate‐bridged polynuclear copper(II) compound, which crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Each Cu^II atom is five‐coordinate in a square‐pyramidal configuration, with one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and one terminal N atom of a bridging thio­cyanate ligand defining the basal plane, and one terminal S atom of another bridging thio­cyanate ligand occupying the apical position. The {4‐bromo‐2‐[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]phenolato}copper(II) units are linked by the bridging thio­cyanate ligands, forming polymeric chains running along the a axis. There are weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds between the chains in the crystal structure.     

Tetra­aqua­(7‐hydroxy‐5‐oxidoflavone‐6‐sulfonato‐κ2O4,O5)nickel(II) dimethyl­formamide solvate monohydrate

In the title compound, [Ni(C₁₅H₈O₇S)(H₂O)₄]·C₃H₇NO·H₂O, the Ni^II cation is chelated by a 7‐hydroxy‐5‐oxidoflavone‐6‐sulfonate ligand through one oxide and one carbonyl O atom, and the sixfold coordination is completed by four aqua ligands. Individual mol­ecules are linked into hydrogen‐bonded dimers by way of five pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers, in turn, determine a three‐dimensional supra­molecular arrangement through a variety of inter­dimeric inter­actions, such as O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and π–π stacking.     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide and N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide

The mol­ecules of N,N′‐bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­dicarboxamide, [Fe(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O)₂], contain intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and are linked into sheets by three independent C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules of the isomeric compound N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide lie across inversion centres, and the mol­ecules are linked into sheets by a combination of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridyl groups.     

1‐(1‐Amino‐4‐bromo‐9,10‐dioxo‐9,10‐dihydro­anthracen‐2‐ylcarbon­yl)‐1,3‐dicyclo­hexyl­urea

In the title compound, C₂₈H₃₀BrN₃O₄, the mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯Br and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into one‐dimensional chains, which are arranged into a three‐dimensional network through a combination of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and two kinds of π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of the anthraquinone units.     

(2‐Meth­oxy‐3‐pyrid­yl)boronic acid

The structure of the title compound, 2‐CH₃O‐C₅H₃N–3‐B(OH)₂ or C₆H₈BNO₃, comprises two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. The molecules are linked to each other by inter­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O bonds to produce an infinite chain, while a two‐dimensional structure is formed as a result of π–π inter­actions of planar mol­ecules.     

catena‐Poly[[[triaqua­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐4‐carboxyl­ato(2–)] 1.72‐hydrate]

The Co^II ion in the title complex {[Co(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]·1.72H₂O}_n, has a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry comprised of three water ligands, one deprotonated pyrimidine N atom and an adjacent carboxyl­ate O atom of one orotate ligand. The sixth coordination site is occupied by an exocyclic O atom from a neighbouring orotate moiety, and through this inter­action a helicoidal chain is formed. The mol­ecules are linked by intra­molecular O_water—H⋯O and inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O_water—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

Naphthalene‐1,7‐diol

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₈O₂, contains two planar symmetry‐independent mol­ecules linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into infinite chains of rings, formed by a combination of O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and additionally reinforced by π–π stacking inter­actions. Adjacent chains are connected by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.     

3,3a‐Dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]­chromen‐1(2H)‐ones from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2‐cyclo­penten‐1‐one

The two title chromene compounds, 3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂O₂, (I), and 2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzyl­idene)‐3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₉H₁₄O₃, (II), have been determined in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) is mainly stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions. Compound (II) is linked into infinite one‐dimensional chains with a C(3) motif via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–­π inter­actions also play key roles in stabilizing the crystal packing. Two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with S(5) motifs were detected in (II).     

Cinnamolid‐3β‐ol hemihydrate and 3β‐hydroxycinnamolide acetate,two drimanolide‐class sesquiterpene lactones from Warburgia ugandensis

3β‐Hydr­oxy‐7‐drimen‐12,11‐olide hemihydrate, C₁₅H₂₂O₃·0.5H₂O, (I), has two sesquiterpene mol­ecules and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The OH groups of both mol­ecules and both H atoms of the water mol­ecule are involved in near‐linear inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, having O⋯O distances in the range 2.632 (3)–2.791 (2) Å. 3β‐Acet­oxy‐7‐drimen‐12,11‐olide, C₁₇H₂₄O₄, (II), has its ring system in very nearly the same conformation as the two mol­ecules of (I).     

Three isomeric forms of hydroxyphenyl‐2‐oxazoline: 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, 2‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline

Crystal structures are reported for three isomeric compounds, namely 2‐(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (I), 2‐(3‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (II), and 2‐(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (III), all C₉H₉NO₂ [systematic names: 2‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (I), 3‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (II), and 4‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (III)]. In these compounds, the deviation from coplanarity of the oxazoline and benzene rings is dependent on the position of the hydroxy group on the benzene ring. The coplanar arrangement in (I) is stabilized by a strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Surprisingly, the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule B of (II) adopts a ³T₄ (^C2T_C3) conformation, while the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule A, as well as that in (I) and (III), is nearly planar, as expected. Tetra­mers of mol­ecules of (II) are formed and they are bound together via weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In (III), strong inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of an infinite chain of mol­ecules perpendicular to the b direction. This paper also reports a theoretical investigation of hydrogen bonds, based on density functional theory (DFT) employing periodic boundary conditions.     

3,5‐Bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐piperidone and 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxopiperidinium chloride: potential biophotonic materials

In the title compound 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐piperidone, C₂₂H₂₃NO₃, (I), the central heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, while in the related salt 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxopiperidin­ium chloride, C₂₂H₂₄NO₃⁺·Cl⁻, (II), the ring exhibits a `sofa' conformation in which the N atom deviates from the planar fragment. The pendant benzene rings are twisted from the heterocyclic ring planes in both mol­ecules in the same direction, the range of dihedral angles between the ring planes being 24.5 (2)–32.7 (2)°. The dominant packing motif in (I) involves centrosymmetric dimers bound by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In (II), cations and anions are linked by strong N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, while weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three‐dimensional framework.     

1‐(4,6‐Diethoxy­pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro­pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₅N₅O₃S, two parallel inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming an eight‐membered ring, link two mol­ecules into a dimer unit; these dimer units linked into a chain of edge‐fused rings by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
