C—H⋯O,C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions in three benzofuran‐2‐yl ketone derivatives

The mol­ecules of 2‐benzoyl‐1‐benzofuran, C₁₅H₁₀O₂, (I), inter­act through double C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers that are further linked by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions, resulting in a three‐dimensional supramolecular network. The dihedral angle between the benzo­yl and benzofuran fragments in (I) is 46.15 (3)°. The mol­ecules of bis­(5‐bromo‐1‐benzofuran‐2‐yl) ketone, C₁₇H₈Br₂O₃, (II), exhibit C₂ symmetry, with the carbon­yl group (C=O) lying along the twofold rotation axis, and are linked by a combination of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions and Br⋯Br contacts to form sheets. The stability of the mol­ecular packing in 3‐mesit­yl‐3‐methyl­cyclo­but­yl 3‐methyl­naphtho[1,2‐b]furan‐2‐yl ketone, C₂₈H₂₈O₂, (III), arises from C—H⋯π and π–π stacking inter­actions. The fused naphthofuran moiety in (III) is essentially planar and makes a dihedral angle of 81.61 (3)° with the mean plane of the trimethyl­benzene ring.     

3,4‐Di‐2‐pyridyl‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole and its perchlorate salt

In 3,4‐di‐2‐pyridyl‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (dpo), C₁₂H₈N₄O, each mol­ecule resides on a twofold axis and inter­acts with eight neighbours via four C—H⋯N and four C—H⋯O inter­actions to generate a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded architecture. In the perchlorate analogue, 2‐[3‐(2‐pyrid­yl)‐1,2,5‐oxadiazol‐4‐yl]pyridinium perchlorate, C₁₂H₉N₄O⁺·ClO₄⁻ or [Hdpo]ClO₄, the [Hdpo]⁺ cation is bisected by a crystallographic mirror plane, and the additional H atom in the cation is shared by the two pyridyl N atoms to form a symmetrical intra­molecular N⋯H⋯N hydrogen bond. The cations and perchlorate anions are linked through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions to form one‐dimensional tubes along the b‐axis direction.     

Benzoin 4‐ethyl­thio­semicarbazone

In the title compound, 2‐hydr­oxy‐1,2‐diphenyl­ethanone 4‐ethyl­thio­semicarbazone, C₁₇H₁₉N₃OS, the thio­semi­carbazone moiety is planar and has an E configuration. The planar phenyl rings make dihedral angles of 82.34 (8) and 8.07 (17)° with the plane of the thio­semicarbazone moiety. The crystal structure contains two intra­molecular (N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N) and one inter­molecular inter­action (O—H⋯S), as well as two C—H⋯π(benzene) inter­actions. Mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the a axis. Mol­ecules in each column are connected to each other by means of linear O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions. In addition, there are also C—H⋯π(benzene) inter­actions between the columns.     

1‐Acetyl‐3‐ferrocenyl‐5‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazole and 1‐acetyl‐5‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(2‐pyrid­yl)‐1H‐pyrazole

Mol­ecules of 1‐acetyl‐3‐ferrocenyl‐5‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazole, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₁H₁₁N₂O)], form a centrosymmetric dimer generated by a combination of one C—H⋯π(pyrazole) and one C—H⋯π(cyclo­penta­dienyl) inter­action. The dimers are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, involving the pyrazole rings as acceptors, into layers parallel to (10). Mol­ecules of 1‐acetyl‐5‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(2‐pyrid­yl)‐1H‐pyrazole, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₂N₃O)], are linked by C—H⋯O inter­actions into a chain running in the [010] direction. Two chains of this type passing through each unit cell are connected by O⋯π(pyridyl) inter­actions into an [010] double chain.     

Hydrogen bonding in meso‐4,5‐diphenyl‐3,6‐diaza­octane‐1,8‐diol: the formation of one‐dimensional linear chains of edge‐fused rings

The molecule of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₄N₂O₂, resides on a crystallographic inversion centre. The mol­ecule adopts a transoid conformation with respect to the central C—C single bond and is in the meso form. A polarimetric study of the compound did not show any optical activity, indicating that the compound is a racemic mixture entirely consistent with the centrosymmetric space group. In the mol­ecule, there is one intra­molecular N—H⋯O inter­action, resulting in the formation of a five‐membered ring. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O inter­actions are also observed. These inter­actions form an R₂²(9) ring and one‐dimensional linear chains of edge‐fused rings running parallel to the [010] direction, which stabilize the crystal packing.     

1,3‐Dibenzoylimidazolidine‐2‐thione and 1,3‐dibenzo­yl‐3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione

The title compounds, 1,3‐dibenzo­ylimidazolidine‐2‐thione, C₁₇H₁₄N₂O₂S, (I), and 1,3‐dibenzo­yl‐3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione, C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂S, (II), were obtained from the reactions of imidazolidine‐2‐thione and 1,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2‐thiol, respectively, with benzoyl chloride. Compounds (I) and (II) contain, respectively, imidazolidinethione [C=S = 1.6509 (14) Å] and ­pyrimidinethione [C=S = 1.6918 (19) Å] moieties bonded to two benzoyl rings. The mol­ecules of (I) exhibit C₂ symmetry, the C=S bond lying along the twofold rotation axis, while the mol­ecules of (II) have mirror symmetry (C_s). The imida­zolidine ring in (I) is essentially planar, while the pyrimidine ring in (II) adopts a boat conformation. Mol­ecules of (I) are linked by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions, while mol­ecules of (II) are held together by van der Waals inter­actions.     

A hydrogen‐bonded heterodimer of 1‐(4‐hexyloxyphenyl)pyridin‐4(1H)‐one with 4‐cyano­benzoic acid

The two components of the title heterodimer, C₁₇H₂₁NO₂·C₈H₅NO₂, are linked end‐to‐end via O—H⋯O(=C) and C—H⋯O(=C) hydrogen‐bond inter­actions. Additional lateral C—H⋯O inter­actions link the dimers in a side‐by‐side fashion to produce wide infinite mol­ecular ribbons. Adjacent ribbons are inter­connected viaπ–π stacking and C—H⋯π(arene) inter­actions. This structure represents the first evidence of robust hydrogen‐bond formation between the moieties of pyridin‐4(1H)‐one and benzoic acid.     

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.     

1‐Benzyl‐3,3‐dichloro‐1H‐indol‐2(3H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁Cl₂NO, was synthesized from N‐­benzyl­isatin. The compound crystallizes as stacks of mol­ecules running down the c axis. Mol­ecules within each of these stacks inter­act with each other through π–π and C—H⋯π inter­actions, and inter­act with neighbouring stacks through C—H⋯O inter­actions.     

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

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).     

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.

The structures of N‐ethyl‐3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐5‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₉H₂₀FN₃OS, (I), and 3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐N‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₈H₁₈FN₃S, (II), have similar geometric parameters. The meth­oxy/methyl‐substituted phenyl groups are almost perpendicular to the pyrazoline (pyraz) ring [inter­planar angles of 89.29 (8) and 80.39 (10)° for (I) and (II), respectively], which is coplanar with the fluoro­phenyl ring [inter­planar angles of 5.72 (9) and 10.48 (10)°]. The pyrazoline ring approximates an envelope conformation in both structures, with the two‐coordinate N atom involved in an intra­molecular N—H⋯N_pyraz inter­action. In (I), N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S inter­molecular hydrogen bonds are the primary inter­actions, whereas in (II), there are no intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

(2S,RS)‐6‐Phenyl‐1‐(p‐tolyl­sulfinyl)­hexa‐3(E),5(E)‐dien‐2‐ol

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀O₂S, corresponds to a chiral sulfinyldienol with two stereogenic centres, viz. the C atom susbtituted by the hydr­oxy group and the sulfinyl S atom. The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.

Two independent mol­ecules (A and B) are present in the asymmetric unit with almost similar conformations. The dihedral angles between the fused chromene ring system and the benzene ring bonded to it in mol­ecules A and B are 4.2 (1) and 12.7 (1)°, respectively.

Aromatic π–π and weak C—H⋯π(arene) inter­actions are also observed.     

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.     

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.     

3‐Diphenyl­phosphino‐1,2:5,6‐di‐O‐isopropyl­idene‐4‐O‐methyl‐1d‐chiro‐inositol

The novel title compound, C₂₅H₃₁O₆P, contains rigid fused rings which are shown to be similar to the precursor structures. Weak C—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions produce two‐dimensional sheets composed of R₄⁴(28) rings.

The centrosymmetric O—H⋯O‐bonded head‐to‐head dimers of the title compound, C₂₁H₂₂O₆, are linked together via bifurcated C—H⋯O inter­actions along the a axis and via favourable C—H⋯π inter­actions along the b axis in the crystal structure.     

1,4,7,10‐Tetra­oxacyclo­dodeca­ne–triphenyl­methane­thiol (1/2)

In the centrosymmetric formula unit of the title complex, C₈H₁₆O₄·2C₁₈H₁₆S, the 1,4,7,10‐tetra­oxacyclo­dodecane mol­ecule adopts the biangular [66] conformation, and the triphenyl­methane­thiol mol­ecules are linked to the macrocycle via a long S—H⋯O hydrogen bond [S⋯O = 3.460 (2) Å and S—H⋯O = 161 (2)°]. Attractive inter­actions of phenyl groups in edge‐to‐face conformations combine inversion‐related formula units into chains running along the [111] direction in the crystal structure. Association of the chains into sheets is achieved via C—H⋯π inter­actions.
