(E)‐2‐[2‐(1‐Naphthyl)­vinyl]‐3‐tosyl‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zole

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₁NO₂S₂, which consists of a benzo­thia­zole skeleton with α‐naphthyl­vinyl and tosyl groups at positions 2 and 3, respectively, was prepared by palladium–copper‐catalyzed heteroannulation. The E configuration of the mol­ecule about the vinyl C=C bond is established by the benzothiazole–naphthyl C—C—C—C torsion angle of 177.5 (4)°. The five‐membered heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the Csp³ atom 0.380 (6) Å from the C₂NS plane. The two S—C [1.751 (4) and 1.838 (4) Å] and two N—C [1.426 (5) and 1.482 (5) Å] bond lengths in the thia­zole ring differ significantly.     

The dimeric mixed‐ligand titana­carborane sandwich [1‐(Cp)‐1‐Ti‐2‐(Me)‐3‐(SiMe3)‐2,3‐C2B4H4]2

The title dimer, bis­[1‐cyclo­penta­dienyl‐2‐methyl‐1‐titana‐3‐tri­methylsilyl‐2,3‐dicarba‐closo‐hexaborane(6)], [Ti(C₅H₅)(C₆­H₁₆­B₄Si)]₂, reveals that the centrosymmetric mol­ecule consists of two bent‐sandwich titanacarboranes bridged by the B—H—Ti bonds. The average bond distances are Ti—B 2.445 (3), Ti—C(cage) 2.334 (2) and Ti—C(Cp) 2.376 (3) Å, and the corresponding bond angles are Cp—Ti—Cp 163.2 (1) and Cp—Ti—Cb (Cb = C₂B₃ face) 139.9 (1)°; the Ti—H separations are 2.10 (2) and 2.19 (2) Å.     

(E)‐N‐Benzyl­idene‐3‐chloro‐4‐fluoro­aniline

The title mol­ecule, C₁₃H₉ClFN, is substantially planar. The phenyl and 3‐chloro‐4‐fluoro­phenyl rings are on opposite sides of the C=N bond. There is an intermolecular C—H?F short contact with a C?F distance of 3.348 (2) Å and a C—H?F angle of 137.4 (1)°. The mol­ecules are held in layers parallel to the bc plane.     

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole monoethanol solvate: triply‐interwoven hydrogen‐bonded sheets containing centrosymmetric R(8) and R(38) rings

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole crystallizes from solution in ethanol as a monosolvate, C₃H₃N₃O₂S·C₂H₆O, in which the thia­zole component has a strongly polarized molecular–electronic structure. The thia­zole mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by paired N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 2.09 Å, N⋯N = 2.960 (6) Å and N—H⋯N = 169°], and these dimers are linked by the ethanol mol­ecules, via a two‐centred N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, N⋯O = 2.838 (5) Å and N—H⋯O = 164°] and a planar asymmetric three‐centred O—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.07 and 2.53 Å, O⋯O = 2.900 (5) and 3.188 (5) Å, O—H⋯O = 169 and 136°, and O⋯H⋯O = 55°], into sheets built from alternating (8) and (38) rings. These sheets are triply interwoven.     

Three N2‐benzoyl­oxybenz­amidines: sheet structures built from hard and soft hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions

Molecules of the title compounds N²‐(benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, (I), N²‐(2‐hydroxy­benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (II), and N²‐benzoyloxy‐2‐hydroxybenzamidine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (III), all have extended chain conformations, with the aryl groups remote from one another. In (I), the mol­ecules are linked into chains by a single N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.15 Å, N⋯N = 3.029 (2) Å and N—H⋯N = 153°] and these chains are linked into sheets by means of aromatic π–π stacking interactions. There is one intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond in (II), and a combination of one three‐centre N—H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.46 Å, H⋯O = 2.31 Å, N⋯N = 3.190 (2) Å, N⋯O = 3.146 (2) Å, N—H⋯N = 138° and N—H⋯O = 154°] and one two‐centre C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.46 Å, C⋯O = 3.405 (2) Å and C—H⋯O = 173°] links the mol­ecules into sheets. In (III), an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.26 and 2.10 Å, N⋯O = 2.975 (2) and 2.954 (2) Å, and N—H⋯O = 138 and 163°] link the molecules into sheets.     

[1,3‐Bis(2‐ethoxy­phenyl)imidazolidin‐2‐yl­idene]bromo­(cyclo­octa‐1,5‐diene)­rhodium(I)

The title complex, [RhBr(C₈H₁₂)(C₁₉H₂₂N₂O₂)], has a distorted square‐planar geometry. There are two mol­ecules, A and B, in the asymmetric unit. The Rh—C bond distance between the N‐heterocyclic ligand and the metal atom is 2.039 (2) Å in mol­ecule A and 2.042 (2) Å in mol­ecule B. The angle between the carbene heterocycle and the coordination plane is 87.56 (12)° in mol­ecule A and 87.03 (11)° in mol­ecule B. It is shown that the average Rh—C(COD) (COD is cyclo­octa­diene) distance is linearly dependent on the Rh—C(imidazolidine) distance in this type of compound. This can be ascribed to the steric hindrance produced by the packing. The crystal structure contains intra­molecular C—H⋯O and inter­molecular C—H⋯Br inter­actions.     

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.     

4‐Fluoro‐2‐(phospho­no­methyl)­benzene­sulfonic acid monohydrate

The title compound, C₇H₈FO₆PS·H₂O, contains both phospho­nic and sulfonic acid functionalities. An extensive network of O—H?O hydrogen bonds is present in the crystal structure. The three acidic protons are associated with the phospho­nate group. Two protons experience typical hydrogen‐bond contacts with the sulfonate‐O atoms, while the third has a longer covalent bond of 1.05 (3) Å to the phospho­nate‐O atom and a short hydrogen‐bond contact of 1.38 (3) Å to the water O atom (all O—H?O angles are in the range 162–175°). The sulfonate group is positioned so that one S—O bond is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring [torsion angle O—S—C—C ?8.6 (2)°]. The phospho­nate group is oriented approximately perpendicular to the ring [torsion angle P—C—C—C 99.2 (2)°] with one P—O bond anti to the benzyl C—C bond. The mol­ecules pack in layers in the b–c plane with the water mol­ecules in between adjacent pairs of inverted layers.     

π‐Stacked hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid,and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of 2‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid

Molecules of 2‐(2‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₅, are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by a single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.623 (2) Å and O—H⋯O = 178°] and these dimers are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The isomeric compound 2‐(4‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid crystallizes in two polymorphic forms. In the orthorhombic form (space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z′ = 1, crystallized from ethanol), the mol­ecules are linked into sheets of R(22) rings by a combination of one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.96 Å, N⋯O = 2.833 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 171°] and one O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H⋯O = 173°]. In the monoclinic form (space group P2₁/n with Z′ = 2, crystallized from acetone), the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.09 and 2.16 Å, N⋯O = 2.873 (4) and 2.902 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 147 and 141°] and two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.84 and 1.83 Å, O⋯O = 2.664 (3) and 2.666 (3) Å, and O—H⋯O = 166 and 174°] into sheets of some complexity. These sheets are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.45 Å, C⋯O = 3.355 (4) Å and C—­H⋯O = 160°].     

(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.     

Aquabromo(6‐carboxypyridine‐2‐carboxylato‐O,N,O′)mercury(II)

The title compound, [HgBr(C₇H₄NO₄)(H₂O)], was obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of mercury(II) bromide and pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, dipicH₂). The shortest bond distances to Hg are Hg—Br 2.412 (1) Å and Hg—N 2.208 (5) Å; the corresponding N—Hg—Br angle of 169.6 (1)° corresponds to a slightly distorted linear coordination. There are also four longer Hg—O interactions, three from dipicH^? [2.425 (4) and 2.599 (4) Å within the asymmetric unit, and 2.837 (4) Å from a symmetry‐related mol­ecule] and one from the bonded water mol­ecule [2.634 (4) Å]. The effective coordination of Hg can thus be described as 2+4. The mol­ecules are connected to form double‐layer chains parallel to the y axis by strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, and by weaker hydrogen bonds involving both H atoms of the water mol­ecule and the O atoms of the carboxylic acid groups.     

4‐Amino‐3‐methyl‐6‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐one (metamitron) and 4‐amino‐6‐methyl‐3‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐one (isometamitron)

The title structures, both C₁₀H₁₀N₄O, are substitutional isomers. The N—N bond lengths are longer and the C=N bond lengths are shorter by ca 0.025 Å than the respective average values in the C=N—N=C group of asymmetric triazines; the assessed respective bond orders are 1.3 and 1.7. There are N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds in both structures, with 4‐­amino‐3‐methyl‐6‐phenyl‐1,2,4‐triazin‐5(4H)‐one containing a rare bifurcated N—H⋯N,N hydrogen bond. The structures differ in their mol­ecular stacking and the hydrogen‐bonding patterns.     

N‐(o‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2,5‐di­methyl­pyrrole‐3‐carb­aldehyde

Crystal structure analysis of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂ClNO, reveals three crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these mol­ecules is the orientation of the phenyl rings with respect to the pyrrole rings. The coplanar arrangement of the aldehyde groups attached to the pyrrole rings influences the pyrrole‐ring geometry. The C2—C3 and N1—C5 bonds are noticeably longer than the C4—C5 and N1—C2 bonds. Two independent mol­ecules of the title compound form dimers via intermolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [D⃛A = 3.400 (3) Å and D—H⃛A = 157°]. The perpendicular orientation of the phenyl and pyrrole rings of one independent mol­ecule and its symmetry‐related mol­ecule allows C—H⃛π interactions, with an H⃛centroid distance of 2.85 Å and a C—H⃛π angle of 155°. The distances between the H atom and the pyrrole‐ring atoms indicate that the C—H bond points towards one of the bonds in the pyrrole ring.     

(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.     

5‐(2‐Chloro­phenyl­diazenyl)­salicyl­aldehyde and 4‐(2‐chloro­phenyl­diazenyl)‐2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one

The mol­ecule of the former title compound, C₁₃H₉ClN₂O₂, (I), is nearly planar, with an intramolecular O⋯O hydrogen bond of 2.692 (2) Å. The latter title compound, C₁₇H₁₈ClN₃O₄, (II), exists in the keto–amine tautomeric form, with a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2.640 (2) Å between the O and N atoms, the H atom being bonded to the N atom. The azo­benzene moieties of both mol­ecules have trans configurations, and the dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 4.1 (1)° in (I) and 9.9 (1)° in (II). The N—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded rings are almost planar and coupled with the cyclo­hexa­diene rings in (II).     

5‐Methyl‐2‐thiouracil

The molecular structure of the title compound, also known as 2‐thio­thymine [systematic name: 2,3‐di­hydro‐5‐methyl‐2‐thioxopyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one], C₅H₆N₂OS, is similar to that of thymine, with only small changes in the ring structure, apart from a significant difference at the substitution site [S=C = 1.674 (1) Å]. The mol­ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, with N—H?O = 2.755 (2) Å and N—H?S = 3.352 (1) Å. The hydrogen‐bond network is different from that in thymine, since it involves all the donor and acceptor atoms.     

4‐[(3‐Chloro­phenyl)­diazenyl]‐2‐{[tris(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]amino­methyl­ene}cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₈ClN₃O₄, adopts the keto–amine tautomeric form and displays an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [N⋯O = 2.639 (2) Å]. The configuration around the azo N=N double bond is trans, and the dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 20.5 (2)°. The mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional network.     

Pentacarbonyl(4‐phenylpyridine)­tungsten(0) and pentacarbonyl(2‐phenylpyridine)chromium(0)

In penta­carbonyl(4‐phenyl­pyridine)­tungsten(0), [W­(C₁₁H₉N)(CO)₅], the mol­ecules have mm site symmetry and the pyridine ligand, with m symmetry, is completely planar. In penta­carbonyl(2‐phenyl­pyridine)­chromium(0), [Cr(C₁₁­H₉N)(CO)₅], the mol­ecules are in general positions and the phenyl and pyridine rings of the ligand are twisted by 67.7 (3)° with respect to one another by rotation about the C—C bond joining them. In both compounds, the axial M—C_carbonyl bond trans to the M—N_ligand bond is significantly shorter than the equatorial M—C_carbonyl bonds.     

A 1:2 complex of mercury(II) chloride with 1,3‐imidazole‐2‐thione

The Hg atom in the title monomeric complex, di­chloro­bis(3‐imidazolium‐2‐thiol­ato‐S)­mercury(II), [HgCl₂(C₃H₄N₂S)₂], is four‐coordinate having an irregular tetrahedral geometry composed of two Cl atoms [Hg—Cl 2.622 (2) and 2.663 (2) Å] and two thione S atoms [Hg—S 2.445 (2) and 2.462 (2) Å]. The monodentate thione ligand adopts a zwitterionic form and exists as the 3‐imidazolium‐2‐thiol­ate ion. The bond angle S1—Hg—S2 of 130.87 (8)° has the greatest deviation from ideal tetrahedral geometry. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds between two of the four N—H groups and one of the Cl atoms [3.232 (8) and 3.238 (7) Å] stabilize the crystal structure, while the other two N—H groups contribute through the formation of N—H?Cl intramolecular hydrogen bonds with the other Cl atom [3.121 (7) and 3.188 (7) Å].     

Coordinative NB bond formation and hydrogen‐bonded molecular ladders in 2,5‐bis[(N→B)‐(2‐aminoethoxy)phenylboryl]thiophene

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₂₄B₂­N₂O₂S, is characterized by a twofold rotation axis passing through the S atom and the midpoint of the C—C single bond in the thio­phene ring. A coordinative NB bond is present in the boroxazolidine ring and a single N—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 1.93 (3) Å, N?O 2.829 (3) Å and N—H?O 172 (2)°] links the mol­ecules into a molecular ladder.
