Pefloxacinium methane­sulfonate 0.10‐hydrate

The crystal structure of 4‐(3‐carboxy‐1‐ethyl‐6‐fluoro‐1,4‐di­hydro‐4‐oxo‐7‐quinolyl)‐1‐methyl­piperazinium methane­sulfonate 0.10‐hydrate, C₁₇H₂₁FN₃O₃⁺·CH₃O₃S^?·0.10H₂O, contains pefloxacinium cations, methane­sulfonate anions and a partially occupied water of solvation. The quinoline ring system in the cation is essentially planar. The anions lie parallel to each other about inversion centers. The structure is stabilized by strong hydrogen bonds involving the terminal piperazinyl‐N atom of the cation and an O atom of the anion [N?O 2.739 (2) Å], and a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond between carbonyl and carboxyl groups [O?O 2.523 (2) Å].     

(Z)‐2‐Methylbuten‐1‐yl(aryl)iodonium trifluoromethanesulfonates containing electron‐withdrawing groups on the aryl moiety

The crystal structures of [(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­[4‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]­iodo­nium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C₁₂H₁₃F₃I⁺·CF₃O₃S^?, (I), (3,5‐di­chloro­phenyl)­[(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­iodo­nium tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate, C₁₁H₁₂­Cl₂I⁺·CF₃O₃S^?, (II), and bis{[3,5‐bis­(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl][(Z)‐2‐methyl­but‐1‐en‐1‐yl]­iodo­nium} bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate) di­chloro­methane solvate, 2C₁₃H₁₂F₆I⁺·­2CF₃­O₃S^?·CH₂Cl₂, (III), are described. Neither simple acyclic β,β‐di­alkyl‐substituted alkenyl­(aryl)­idonium salts nor a series containing electron‐deficient aryl rings have been described prior to this work. Compounds (I)–(III) were found to have distorted square‐planar geometries, with each I atom interacting with two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate counter‐ions.     

A new photochromic tetra­hydro­indolizine

The title compound, di­methyl 10b′‐(4‐fluoro­styryl)‐8′,9′‐di­methoxy‐4‐nitro‐5′,6′‐di­hydrospiro­[9H‐fluorene‐9,1′(10b′H)‐pyrrolo­[2,1‐a]­iso­quinoline]‐2′,3′‐di­carboxyl­ate, C₃₈H₃₁FN₂O₈, is a new photochromic tetra­hydro­indolizine. One of the C—C bonds at the spiro C atom is very long [1.630 (2) Å], thus explaining the photochromic behaviour.     

The effects of substitution on tetrakis­(substituted imidazole)­copper(II) tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonates

The organic ligands 4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole and 2‐ethyl‐4‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole react with Cu(CF₃SO₃)₂·6H₂O to give tetrakis(5‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN³)­cop­per(II) bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate), [Cu(C₄H₆N₂)₄](CF₃SO₃)₂, and aqua­tetrakis(2‐ethyl‐5‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole‐κN³)copper(II) bis(tri­ fluoro­methane­sulfonate), [Cu(C₆H₁₀N₂)₄(H₂O)](CF₃SO₃)₂. In the former, the Cu atom has an elongated octahedral coordination environment, with four imidazole rings in equatorial positions and two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate ions in axial positions. This conformation is similar to those in the analogous complexes tetrakis­(imidazole)­cop­per(II) tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate and tetrakis(2‐methyl‐1H‐imidazole)­cop­per(II) tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate. In the second of the title compounds, the ethyl groups block the central Cu atom, and a square‐pyramidal coordination environment is formed around the Cu atom, with the substituted imidazole rings in the basal positions and a water mol­ecule in the axial position.     

Oxythiamine hexafluorophosphate monohydrate,a thiamine antagonist with the same conformation as ­thiamine

In the title compound, 3‐[(3,4‐di­hydro‐2‐methyl‐4‐oxopyrimidin‐5‐yl)­methyl]‐5‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐4‐methyl­thia­zolium hexa­fluoro­phosphate monohydrate, C₁₂H₁₆N₃O₂S⁺·PF₆^?·H₂O, oxy­thi­amine is a monovalent cation with a neutral oxo­pyrimidine ring. The mol­ecule assumes the F conformation, which is a common form for thi­amine but which is substantially different from the unusual V conformation found in the chloride and hydro­chloride salts of oxy­thi­amine. The anion‐bridging interaction, C—H?anion?pyrimidine, is emphasized as being important for stabilization of the F conformation.     

6‐(3,4‐Di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one

A new type of benzo­thia­zolinone derivative with potential pharmacological activity, viz. 6‐(3,4‐di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one, C₂₁H₁₄F₂N₂O₂S, has been prepared and studied by NMR, IR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. The mol­ecule is not planar, the pyridine and di­fluoro­benzene moieties being located above and below the benzo­thia­zole ring system. The carbonyl O atoms are involved in an intramolecular hydrogen‐bond‐type interaction.     

Structural properties of a series of photochromic fluorinated indolylfulgides

Fluorinated indolyl­fulgides are a class of photochromic organic compounds that meet many of the requirements for use as optical memory media and optical switches. The X‐ray crystal structures of a series of five photochromic fluorinated indolyl­fulgides have been determined, namely (3Z)‐3‐[1‐(1,2‐di­methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2,2,2‐tri­fluoro­ethyl­idene]‐4‐(1‐methyl­ethyl­idene)­dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione (tri­fluoro­methyl­iso­propyl­idene­indolyl­fulgide), C₁₉H₁₆F₃NO₃, (I), (3Z)‐3‐[1‐(1,2‐dimethyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2,2,3,3,3‐penta­fluoro­propyl­idene]‐4‐(1‐methyl­ethyl­idene)­dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione (penta­fluoro­ethyl­iso­propyl­idene­indolyl­fulgide), C₂₀H₁₆F₅NO₃, (II), (3Z)‐3‐[1‐(1,2‐di­methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2,2,3,3,4,4,4‐hepta­fluoro­butyl­idene]‐4‐(1‐methyl­ethyl­idene)­dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione (hepta­fluoro­propyl­iso­propyl­idene­indolyl­fulgide), C₂₁H₁₆F₇NO₃, (III), (3Z)‐3‐[1‐(1,2‐di­methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2,2,2‐tri­fluoro­ethyl­idene]‐4‐(tri­cyclo­[3.3.1.1^3,7]­decyl­idene­)dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione (tri­fluoro­methyl­adamantyl­idene­indolyl­fulgide), C₂₆H₂₄F₃NO₃, (IV), and (3Z)‐3‐[1‐(1,2‐di­methyl‐1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐2,2,3,3,4,4,4‐hepta­fluoro­butyl­idene]‐4‐(tri­cyclo­[3.3.1.1^3,7]­decyl­idene­)dihydrofuran‐2,5‐dione (hepta­fluoro­propyl­adamantylidenein­dolyl­fulgide), C₂₈H₂₄F₇NO₃, (V). The photochromic property of fulgides is based on the photochemically allowed electrocyclic ring closure of a hexatriene system to form a cyclo­hexa­diene. For each fulgide examined, the bond lengths within the hexatriene system alternate between short and long, as expected. Comparing the structures of the five fulgides with each other demonstrates no significant difference in bond lengths, bond angles or dihedral angles within the hexatriene systems. The distance between the bond‐forming C atoms at each end of the hexatriene system does vary. Correlations of structural properties with optical properties are addressed.     

Enoxacin trihydrate

The structure of the title compound, 1‐ethyl‐6‐fluoro‐1,4‐di­hydro‐4‐oxo‐7‐(piperazin‐4‐ium‐1‐yl)‐1,8‐naphthyridine‐3‐carb­oxylate trihydrate, C₁₅H₁₇FN₄O₃·3H₂O, has a zwitterion of enoxacin and three water mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The zwitterions form sheets lying parallel to each other and are hydrogen bonded in a head‐to‐tail manner. The crystal structure is stabilized by the involvement of O and H atoms from all the water mol­ecules in strong hydrogen bonds. The naphthyridine ring system is essentially planar, with the carboxyl­ate group lying out of this plane at an angle of 26.13 (6)° and the ethyl group oriented at approximately right angles to this plane. The piperazinium ring adopts a chair conformation.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The title complexes, trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ato‐κ²N,O)­cobalt(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Co(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, and trans‐di­aqua­bis­(quinoline‐2‐car­box­yl­ato‐κ²N,O)­nickel(II)–water–methanol (1/2/2), [Ni(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2CH₄O·2H₂O, are isomorphous and contain Co^II and Ni^II ions at centers of inversion. Both complexes have the same distorted octahedral coordination geometry, and each metal ion is coordinated by two quinoline N atoms, two carboxyl­ate O atoms and two water O atoms. The quinoline‐2‐carboxyl­ate ligands lie in trans positions with respect to one another, forming the equatorial plane, with the two water ligands occupying the axial positions. The complex mol­ecules are linked together by hydrogen bonding involving a series of ring patterns which include the uncoordinated water and methanol mol­ecules.     

Four tri­fluoro­methyl­nitro­benzene analogues

The crystal structures of four tri­fluoro­methyl­nitro­benzene analogues (CF₃)C₆H₃(NO₂)[C₄H₈N₂]R (where C₄H₈N₂ is piperazinyl and R is ethyl carboxyl­ate, CO₂C₂H₅, or phenyl, C₆H₅), have been determined, and their conformations and packing arrangements are compared. The four compounds are ethyl 4‐[4‐nitro‐2‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]­piperazine‐1‐car­boxyl­ate, (I), and ethyl 4‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phen­yl]piper­azine‐1‐carboxyl­ate, (II), both C₁₄H₁₆F₃N₃O₄, and 1‐­[4‐nitro‐2‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]‐4‐phenyl­piperazine, (III), and 1‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(tri­fluoro­methyl)­phenyl]‐4‐phenyl­piperazine, (IV), both C₁₇H₁₆F₃N₃O₂. All mol­ecules adopt a rod‐like conformation, while the asymmetric units of (II) and (IV) contain two unique mol­ecules that pack as monodirectional pairs. All mol­ecules pack with C—H⋯O/F close contacts to all but one of the O atoms and to five of the 18 F atoms.     

5‐Fluoro‐1‐octanoyl­uracil

The crystal structure of 5‐fluoro‐1‐octanoyl­uracil [5‐fluoro‐1‐octanoyl­pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione, C₁₂H₁₇FN₂O₃], a lipophilic prodrug of 5‐fluoro­uracil, is described. The 5‐fluoro­pyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione moiety is similar to the known structure of 1‐acetyl‐5‐fluoro­uracil. The 1‐octanoyl group and the 5‐fluoro­uracil moiety are essentially coplanar, with the octanoyl carbonyl group oriented towards the the ring C—H group and away from the nearer ring carbonyl group. The torsion angle C—N—C—O (from the ring CH group to the octanoyl carbonyl group) of 9.2 (2)° is similar to the corresponding torsion angles reported for 1‐acetyl‐5‐fluoro­uracil (17.3 and 1.6°) and 1,3‐di­acetyl‐5‐fluoro­uracil (8.8°).     

Sparfloxacin,an antibacterial drug

The title compound, sparfloxacin or cis‐5‐amino‐1‐cyclo­propyl‐7‐(3,5‐di­methyl­piperazin‐1‐yl)‐6,8‐difluoro‐1,4‐di­hydro‐4‐oxo­quinoline‐3‐carboxyl­ic acid trihydrate, C₁₉H₂₂F₂N₄O₃·3H₂O, is an antibacterial drug. The mol­ecule, which crystallizes as a trihydrate, is in the zwitterionic form in the solid state. Hydro­gen bonds stabilize the mol­ecules in the lattice.     

Hydro­gen bonding in calcium–tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate–1,3‐di‐4‐pyridyl­urea–methanol (1/2/2/4)

The Ca²⁺ ion lies on an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by four methanol mol­ecules and two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate counter‐ions. The molecular packing is dominated by hydrogen‐bonded sheets in the (110) plane which contain R(32) rings; in these rings, significant π–π interactions are observed between inversion‐related 1,3‐di‐4‐pyridyl­urea mol­ecules.

The polymer consists of alternating rings (which lie about inversion centers) bridged by the pyridyl rings of the bis‐phosphine‐substituted ligands, with anions hydrogen bonded the length of the chain. Two distinctly different metal coordination environments exist in the polymer, viz. distorted tetrahedral and trigonal geometries.

A crystallographic inversion center is located in the macrocyclic cavity and the two hydroxy­ethyl pendants are on opposite sides of the macrocyclic plane. The benzene rings of the macrocycle are parallel to each other and a π–π‐stacking interaction exists between the benzene rings of adjacent macrocycles, which are separated by 3.791 (9) Å. An infinite intermolecular hydrogen‐bond network stabilizes the crystal.
