Hydro­gen bonding in proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases

The crystal structures of quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate trihydrate, C₉H₈N⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·3H₂O, (I), 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (II), 8‐amino­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate dihydrate, C₉H₉N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·2H₂O, (III), and 2‐carboxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate quinolinium‐2‐carboxylate, C₁₀H₈NO₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·C₁₀H₇NO₂, (IV), four proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases, reveal in each the presence of variously hydrogen‐bonded polymers. In only one of these compounds, viz. (II), is the protonated quinolinium group involved in a direct primary N⁺—H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen‐bonding interaction, while in the other hydrates, viz. (I) and (III), the water mol­ecules participate in the primary intermediate interaction. The quinaldic acid (quinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid) adduct, (IV), exhibits cation–cation and anion–adduct hydrogen bonding but no direct formal heteromolecular interaction other than a number of weak cation–anion and cation–adduct π–π stacking associations. In all other compounds, secondary interactions give rise to network polymer structures.     

8‐Hydroxyquinaldinic acid and its nickel(II) complex

The molecules of 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium‐2‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₀H₇NO₃, have a planar structure, in which the carboxyl group is ionized and the ring N atom is protonated. The derived nickel(II) complex, bis(8‐hydroxy­quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ato‐κ³O²,N,O⁸)­nickel(II) trihydrate, [Ni(C₁₀H₆NO₃)₂]·3H₂O, contains an octahedral central Ni^II ion coordinated by the hydroxyl O atom, the ring N atom and the carboxyl­ate O atom of each of the two tridentate ligands, with a perpendicular orientation of the quinoline rings.     

Tris(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)­cobalt(III) ethanol solvate

In the crystal of the title complex, [Co(C₉H₆NO)₃]·C₂H₅OH, the central Co atom has a distorted octahedral coordination comprised of three N atoms and three O atoms from the three 8‐quinolinolato ligands. The three Co—O bond distances are in the range 1.887 (2)–1.910 (2) Å, while the three Co—N bond distances range from 1.919 (2) to 1.934 (2) Å. The solvent ethanol mol­ecule forms an intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonding with a quinolinolato ligand.     

Dibromo(pyridoxal semicarbazone‐κ3N1,O3,O3′)copper(II)

The title compound, di­bromo(3‐hydroxy‐5‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐methyl‐4‐pyridine­carbox­aldehyde semicarbazone‐κ³N¹,O³,O^3′)copper(II), [CuBr₂(C₉H₁₂N₄O₃)], consists of discrete complex units with the tridentate pyridoxal semicarbazone ligand as a zwitterion in an almost planar configuration. The Cu^II ions are in a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination, with the equatorial Br atom at a distance of 2.4017 (6) Å and the apical Br atom at a distance of 2.6860 (6) Å.     

2,4‐Di­nitro­phenyl­hydrazones of 2,4‐di­hydroxy­benz­aldehyde, 2,4‐di­hydroxy­aceto­phenone and 2,4‐di­hydroxy­benzo­phenone

In 2,4‐di­hydroxy­benz­aldehyde 2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl­hydrazone N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide solvate {or 4‐[(2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl)­hydrazono­methyl]­benzene‐1,3‐diol N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide solvate}, C₁₃H₁₀N₄O₆·C₃H₇NO, (X), 2,4‐di­hydroxy­aceto­phenone 2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl­hydrazone N,N‐di­methyl­form­am­ide solvate (or 4‐{1‐[(2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl)hydrazono]ethyl}benzene‐1,3‐diol N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide solvate), C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₆·C₃H₇NO, (XI), and 2,4‐di­hydroxy­benzo­phenone 2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl­hydrazone N,N‐di­methyl­acet­amide solvate (or 4‐­{[(2,4‐di­nitro­phenyl)hydrazono]phenyl­methyl}benzene‐1,3‐diol N,N‐di­methyl­acet­amide solvate), C₁₉H₁₄N₄O₆·C₄H₉NO, (XII), the molecules all lack a center of symmetry, crystallize in centrosymmetric space groups and have been observed to exhibit non‐linear optical activity. In each case, the hydrazone skeleton is fairly planar, facilitated by the presence of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds and some partial N—N double‐bond character. Each molecule is hydrogen bonded to one solvent mol­ecule.     

(2‐Methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato)­iron(III) and ‐copper(II) complexes

The crystal structures of tris(2‐methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato‐N,O)­iron(III), [Fe­(C₁₀­H₈­NO)₃], (I), and aqua­bis(2‐methyl­quinolin‐8‐olato‐N,O)­copper(II), [Cu­(C₁₀­H₈NO)₂­(H₂O)], (II), have been determined. Compound (I) has a distorted octahedral configuration, in which the central Fe atom is coordinated by three N atoms and three O atoms from three 2‐methylquinolin‐8‐olate ligands. The three Fe—O bond distances are in the range 1.934 (2)–1.947 (2) Å, while the three Fe—N bond distances range from 2.204 (2) to 2.405 (2) Å. In compound (II), the central Cu^II atom and H₂O group lie on the crystallographic twofold axis and the coordination geometry of the Cu^II atom is close to trigonal bipyramidal, with the three O atoms in the basal plane and the two N atoms in apical positions. The Cu—N bond length is 2.018 (5) Å. The Cu—O bond length in the basal positions is 1.991 (4) Å, while the Cu—O bond length in the apical position is 2.273 (6) Å. There is an intermolecular OW—H?O hydrogen bond which links the mol­ecules into a linear chain along the b axis.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded assemblages in 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐4‐R‐phenol,with R = methyl,methoxy, phenoxy and 1‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)‐1‐methyl­ethyl

Four derivatives of 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)­phenol, with various para substituents, have been investigated; these are 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐4‐methyl­phenol, C₉H₁₂O₃, (I), 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₉H₁₂O₄, (II), 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐4‐phenoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₄O₄, (III), and 2,6‐bis­(hydroxy­methyl)‐4‐[1‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)‐1‐methyl­ethyl]­phenol, C₁₈H₂₂O₄, (IV). All four structures display hydrogen‐bonding networks resulting in sheets, with possible weak inter‐sheet π–π interactions in one case. In all the structures but one, the mol­ecules form centrosymmetric dimeric subunits held together by two hydrogen bonds between the hydroxy­methyl groups and, in two cases, by probable π–π interactions.     

Comparison of conventional and synchrotron X‐ray structure deter­minations of the adduct 1,2,4,5‐tetrahydroxybenzene–2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐benzoquinone (1/1) and a conventional X‐ray structure determination of 1,2,4,5‐tetrahydroxybenzene monohydrate

The X‐ray structure of 1,2,4,5‐tetra­hydroxy­benzene (benzene‐1,2,4,5‐tetrol) monohydrate, C₆H₆O₄·H₂O, (I), reveals columns of 1,2,4,5‐tetra­hydroxy­benzene parallel to the b axis that are separated by 3.364 (12) and 3.453 (11) Å. Molecules in adjacent columns are tilted relative to each other by 27.78 (8)°. Water mol­ecules fill the channels between the columns and are involved in hydrogen‐bonding interactions with the 1,2,4,5‐tetra­hydroxy­benzene mol­ecules. The crystal structure of the adduct 1,2,4,5‐tetra­hydroxy­benzene–2,5‐di­hydroxy‐1,4‐benzo­quinone (1/1), C₆H₆O₄·C₆H₄O₄, (II), reveals alternating mol­ecules of 1,2,4,5‐tetra­hydroxy­benzene and 2,5‐di­hydroxy‐1,4‐benzo­quinone (both lying on inversion centers), and a zigzag hydrogen‐bonded network connecting mol­ecules in three dimensions. For compound (II), the conventional X‐ray determination, (IIa), is in very good agreement with the synchrotron X‐ray determination, (IIb). When differences in data collection temperatures are taken into account, even the displacement parameters are in very good agreement.     

Linkage isomerism of organoplatinum(II) compounds coordinated by two 1,3‐di­methyl­barbiturate anions

In two linkage isomers, bis[1,3‐di­methyl‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐pyrimidine­trionato]‐C⁵,O⁴‐(ethyl­enedi­amine‐N,N′)platinum(II), [Pt(C₆H₇N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)], (I), and bis[1,3‐di­methyl‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐py­rim­idine­tri­on­ato‐C⁵](ethyl­enediamine‐N,N′)­plati­num(II) di­hyd­rate, [Pt(C₆H₇N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₈N₂)]·2H₂O, (II), crystal­lized from the same aqueous solution containing [Pt(en)(OH)₂] and 1,3‐di­methyl­barbituric acid (Hdmbarb) in a 1:2 molar ratio, a pair of monodentate dmbarb^? anions coordinate to the Pt atom at tetrahedral C atoms for (II), while one dmbarb^? anion coordinates at the carbon and the other at a deprotonated enol oxy­gen for (I). The Pt—C distances in (I) and (II) are comparable: 2.112 (4) Å for (I), and 2.114 (4) and 2.117 (4) Å for (II).     

Poly[[[bis­(N,N′‐dimethyl­formamide)­zinc(II)]‐μ3‐5‐hydroxy­benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxyl­ato] toluene solvate]

The title compound, {[Zn(C₈H₄O₅)(C₃H₇NO)₂]·0.5C₇H₈}_n, is a one‐dimensional coordination polymer in which the Zn atoms are linked by bridging 5‐hydroxy­benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxyl­ate ligands. These polymeric chains form two‐dimensional sheets via interchain hydrogen bonds, and these sheets, in turn, are stacked tightly with solvent toluene mol­ecules in the inter­layer space. The N,N′‐dimethyl­formamide ligands, coordinated axially to the Zn atoms, form van der Waals contacts with ligands in neighboring sheets, and enclose the guest mol­ecules.     

Hydro­gen bonding in proton‐transfer compounds of 8‐quinolinol (oxine) with aromatic sulfonic acids

The crystal structures of the proton‐transfer compounds of 8‐quinolinol (oxine) with the aromatic sulfonic acids 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonic acid (orthanilic acid) and 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid (ferron) have been determined. In both 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₆H₆NO₃S⁻, (I), and 8‐hydroxyquino­linium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate ses­qui­hydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₉H₆INO₄S⁻·1.5H₂O, (II), extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions, together with significant cation–cation [in (I)] and cation–anion [in (II)] π–π stacking associations, give rise to layered polymer structures.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded supramolecular lattice of the 1:3:4 complex between [5,10,15,20‐meso‐tetrakis(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­porphyrinato‐κ4N]­zinc(II), dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8 and methanol

The title compound, [5,10,15,20‐meso‐tetrakis(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­porphyrinato‐κ⁴N]­zinc(II) tris(dibenzo‐24‐crown‐8) methanol tetrasolvate, [Zn(C₄₄H₂₈N₄O₄)]·3C₂₄H₃₂O₈·4CH₄O, was synthesized and its molecular structure precisely charac­terized by low‐temperature single‐crystal analysis. All the components are involved in hydrogen bonding with each other, thus forming an extensively hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular lattice. The functionalized porphyrin moiety coordinates both equatorially and axially to the neighboring species.     

Packing effects in 4,4′‐bis(4‐hydroxy­butyl)‐2,2′‐bi­pyridine and 4,4′‐bis(4‐bromo­butyl)‐2,2′‐bi­pyridine

Structure analyses of 4,4′‐bis(4‐hydroxy­butyl)‐2,2′‐bi­pyridine, C₁₈H₂₄N₂O₂, (I), and 4,4′‐bis(4‐bromo­butyl)‐2,2′‐bi­pyridine, C₁₈H₂₂Br₂N₂, (II), reveal intermolecular hydrogen bonding in both compounds. For (I), O—H·N intermolecular hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of an infinite two‐dimensional polymer, and π stacking interactions are also observed. For (II), C—H·N intermolecular hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of a zigzag polymer. The two compounds crystallize in different crystal systems, but both mol­ecules possess C_i symmetry, with one half mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit.     

1:1 Adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole with (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine stabilized by eight hydrogen bonds

The structure of the cocrystallized 1:1 adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole and (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine, C₆H₁₂N₄O₂·C₆H₁₂N₂O₄, has tetra­gonal symmetry. All eight O‐ and N‐bound H atoms are involved in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in infinite zigzag chains of the triazole mol­ecules, with the hydrazine mol­ecules filling the gaps between the chains and completing a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded array.     

Platinum complexes of oxopurines: cis‐bis(theophyllinato‐N7)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) and cis‐chloro(theobrominato‐N1)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate

The syntheses and structures of two mixed‐ligand complexes of platinum(II) with deprotonated oxopurine bases and tri­phenyl­phosphine are reported, namely the theophyllinate complex cis‐bis(1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro‐1,3‐di­methyl­purine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN⁷)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II), [Pt(C₇H₇N₄O₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], (I), and the theobrominate complex cis‐chloro(1,2,3,6‐tetrahydro‐3,7‐dimethylpurine‐2,6‐dionato‐κN¹)­bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐κP)­platinum(II) ethanol hemisolvate, [PtCl(C₇H₇N₄O₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·0.5C₂H₅OH, (II). In (I), the coordination geometry of Pt is square planar, formed by the two coordinating N atoms of the theophyl­linate anions in a cis arrangement and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. In (II), there are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. They both exhibit a square‐planar coordination geometry around Pt involving one Cl atom, the coordinating N atom of the theobrominate anion and two P atoms from the tri­phenyl­phosphine groups. The two tri­phenyl­phosphine groups are arranged in a cis configuration in both structures. The heterocyclic rings are rotated with respect to the coordination plane of the metal by 82.99 (8) and 88.09 (8)° in complex (I), and by 85.91 (16) and 88.14 (18)° in complex (II). Both structures are stabilized by intramolecular stacking interactions involving the purine rings and the phenyl rings of adjacent tri­phenyl­phosphine moieties.     

Pt2II and Pt2III dimers containing a Pt2(2,2′‐bipyridine)2(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)2 unit

The syntheses and crystal structures of the title Pt₂^II and Pt₂^III dimers doubly bridged with N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinate ligands, namely bis­(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)bis­[(2,2′‐bipyridine)platinum(II)](Pt—Pt) bis­(hexa­fluoro­phosphate) acetonitrile disolvate, [Pt₂^II(C₃H₈N₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂](PF₆)₂·2CH₃CN, (I), and guanidinium bis­(μ‐N,N‐dimethyl­guanidinato)bis­[(2,2′‐bipyridine)sulfatoplatinum(III)](Pt—Pt) bis­(hexa­fluoro­phosphate) nitrate hexa­hydrate, (C₃H₁₀N₃)[Pt^III₂(C₃H₈N₃)₂(SO₄)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]NO₃·6H₂O, (II), are reported. The oxidation of the Pt₂^II dimer into the Pt₂^III dimer results in a marked shortening of the Pt—Pt distance from 2.8512 (6) to 2.5656 (4) Å. The change is mainly compensated for by the change in the dihedral angle between the two Pt coordination planes upon oxidation, from 21.9 (2) to 16.9 (3)°. We attribute the relatively strong one‐dimensional stack of dimers achieved in the Pt₂^II compound in part to the strong Pt^II⋯C(bpy) associations (bpy is 2,2′‐bipyridine) in the crystal structure [Pt⋯C = 3.416 (10) and 3.361 (12) Å].     

Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide‐S)tetrakis(μ‐p‐hydroxybenzoato‐O:O′)dirhodium(II)–tetrakis(μ‐butyrato‐O:O′)bis(dimethyl sulfoxide‐S)dirhodium(II) cocrystal ethanol disolvate

The title structure, [Rh₂(C₇H₅O₃)₄(C₂H₆OS)₂]·[Rh₂(C₄H₇­O₂)₄(C₂H₆OS)₂]·2C₂H₆O, contains two discrete neutral Rh–Rh dimers cocrystallized as the ethanol disolvate. Each dimer is situated on an inversion center. The butyrate chain displays disorder in one C‐atom position. In each dimer, the di­methyl sulfoxide ligand (dmso) is bound via S, as expected. The ethanol is a hydrogen‐bond acceptor for one p‐hydroxy­benzoate hydroxyl group and acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor to the dmso O atom of a neighboring p‐hydroxy­benzoate dirhodium complex. A third hydrogen bond is formed from the other p‐hydroxy­benzoate hydroxyl group to the dmso O atom of a butyrate–dirhodium complex.

The crystal structures of triethyl­ammonium adenosine cyclic 2′,3′‐phosphate {systematic name: triethyl­ammonium 4‐(6‐amino­purin‐9‐yl)‐6‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐oxido‐2‐oxoperhydro­furano[3,4‐c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole}, Et₃NH(2′,3′‐cAMP) or C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₁₀H₁₁N₅O₆P⁻, (I), and guanosine cyclic 2′,3′‐phosphate monohydrate {systematic name: triethyl­ammonium 6‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐4‐(6‐oxo‐1,6‐dihydro­purin‐9‐yl)perhydro­furano[3,4‐c][1,3,2]dioxaphosphole monohydrate}, [Et₃NH(2′,3′‐cGMP)]·H₂O or C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₁₀H₁₁N₅O₇P⁻·H₂O, (II), reveal different nucleobase orientations, viz. anti in (I) and syn in (II). These are stabilized by different inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The structures also exhibit different ribose ring puckering [₄E in (I) and ³T₂ in (II)] and slightly different 1,3,2‐dioxaphospho­lane ring conformations, viz. envelope in (I) and puckered in (II). Infinite ribbons of 2′,3′‐cAMP⁻ and helical chains of 2′,3′‐cGMP⁻ ions, both formed by O—H⋯O, N—H⋯X and C—H⋯X (X = O or N) hydrogen‐bond contacts, characterize (I) and (II), respectively.     

Aqua(dipicolinato‐κ3O2,N,O6)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound [systematic name: aqua(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)(pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxyl­ato‐κ³O²,N,O⁶)manganese(II) monohydrate, [Mn(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]·H₂O, the manganese(II) centre is surrounded by one bidentate phenanthroline ligand [Mn—N = 2.248 (3) and 2.278 (3) Å], one tridentate dipicolinate ligand [Mn—N = 2.179 (3) Å, and Mn—O = 2.237 (2) and 2.266 (2) Å] and one water mol­ecule [Mn—O = 2.117 (3) Å], and it exhibits a strongly distorted octahedral geometry, with trans angles ranging from 144.12 (9) to 158.88 (11)°. Extensive intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving coordinated and uncoordinated water mol­ecules and the carboxyl O atoms of the dipicolinate ligand, as well as a stacking interaction involving the phenanthroline rings, are observed in the crystal structure.     

(±)‐6‐tert‐Butyl‐8‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐­phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin and 2,2,2′,2′,6,6′‐hexamethyl‐8,8′‐methylenebis(4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin)

Two compounds containing 1,3‐benzodioxin groups are reported, namely (±)‐6‐tert‐butyl‐8‐hydroxy­methyl‐2‐phenyl‐4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin, C₁₉H₂₂O₃, (I), and 2,2,2′,2′,6,6′‐hexamethyl‐8,8′‐methyl­enebis(4H‐1,3‐benzodioxin), C₂₃H₂₈O₄, (II).The hydroxy groups of neighbouring mol­ecules in (I) are hydrogen bonded to each other, giving rise to double‐row chains. The mol­ecule in (II) adopts a `butterfly' conformation, with the O atoms in distal positions. In both compounds, the dioxin rings are in distorted half‐chair conformations.
