Adducts of 1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethane with diamines: three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded frameworks formed with 1,6‐diaminohexane and 2,2′‐bipyridyl

The adduct 1,6‐di­amino­hexane–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2) is a salt {hexane‐1,6‐diyldiammonium–4‐[1,1‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethyl]phenolate (1/2)}, C₆H₁₈N₂²⁺·2C₂₀H₁₇O₃^?, in which the cation lies across a centre of inversion in space group P. The anions are linked by two short O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O 1.74 and 1.76 Å, O?O 2.5702 (12) and 2.5855 (12) Å, and O—H?O 168 and 169°] into a chain containing two types of R(24) ring. Each cation is linked to four different anion chains by three N—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O 1.76–2.06 Å, N?O 2.6749 (14)–2.9159 (14) Å and N—H?O 156–172°]. In the adduct 2,2′‐bipyridyl–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2), C₁₀H₈N₂·2C₂₀H₁₈O₃, the neutral di­amine lies across a centre of inversion in space group P2₁/n. The tris­(phenol) mol­ecules are linked by two O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O both 1.90 Å, O?O 2.7303 (14) and 2.7415 (15) Å, and O—H?O 173 and 176°] into sheets built from R(38) rings. Pairs of tris­(phenol) sheets are linked via the di­amine by means of a single O—H?N hydrogen bond [H?N 1.97 Å, O?N 2.7833 (16) Å and O—H?N 163°].     

A three‐dimensional framework in 2,2′‐biimidazolium bis(2,2′‐biimidazole‐κ2N,N′)bis(biphenyl‐2,4′‐dicarboxylato‐κO)manganese(II) hexahydrate

In the title salt, (C₆H₈N₄)[Mn(C₁₄H₈O₄)₂(C₆H₆N₄)₂]·6H₂O, the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion centre and is coordinated by four N atoms from two 2,2′‐biimidazole (biim) ligands and two O atoms from two biphenyl‐2,4′‐dicarboxylate (bpdc) anions to give a slightly distorted octahedral coordination, while the cation lies about another inversion centre. Adjacent [Mn(bpdc)₂(biim)₂]²⁻ anions are linked via two pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, leading to an infinite chain along the [100] direction. The protonated [H₂biim]²⁺ moiety acts as a charge‐compensating cation and space‐filling structural subunit. It bridges two [Mn(bpdc)₂(biim)₂]²⁻ anions through two pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, constructing two R₂²(9) rings, leading to a zigzag chain in the [2] direction, which gives rise to a ruffled set of [H₂biim]²⁺[Mn(bpdc)₂(biim)₂]²⁻ moieties in the [01] plane. The water molecules give rise to a chain structure in which O—H...O hydrogen bonds generate a chain of alternating four‐ and six‐membered water–oxygen R₄²(8) and R₆⁶(12) rings, each lying about independent inversion centres giving rise to a chain along the [100] direction. Within the water chain, the (H₂O)₆ water rings are hydrogen bonded to two O atoms from two [Mn(bpdc)₂(biim)₂]²⁻ anions, giving rise to a three‐dimensional framework.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in 3‐alkyl‐3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐ones

The molecules of racemic 3‐benzoylmethyl‐3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₁₃NO₃, (I), are linked by a combination of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into a chain of centrosymmetric edge‐fused R₂²(10) and R₄⁴(12) rings. Five monosubstituted analogues of (I), namely racemic 3‐hydroxy‐3‐[(4‐methylbenzoyl)methyl]indolin‐2‐one, C₁₇H₁₅NO₃, (II), racemic 3‐[(4‐fluorobenzoyl)methyl]‐3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₁₂FNO₃, (III), racemic 3‐[(4‐chlorobenzoyl)methyl]‐3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₁₂ClNO₃, (IV), racemic 3‐[(4‐bromobenzoyl)methyl]‐3‐hydroxyindolin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₁₂BrNO₃, (V), and racemic 3‐hydroxy‐3‐[(4‐nitrobenzoyl)methyl]indolin‐2‐one, C₁₆H₁₂N₂O₅, (VI), are isomorphous in space group P. In each of compounds (II)–(VI), a combination of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds generates a chain of centrosymmetric edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₂²(10) rings, and these chains are linked into sheets by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. No two of the structures of (II)–(VI) exhibit the same combination of weak hydrogen bonds of C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) types. The molecules of racemic 3‐hydroxy‐3‐(2‐thienylcarbonylmethyl)indolin‐2‐one, C₁₄H₁₁NO₃S, (VII), form hydrogen‐bonded chains very similar to those in (II)–(VI), but here the sheet formation depends upon a weak π–π stacking interaction between thienyl rings. Comparisons are drawn between the crystal structures of compounds (I)–(VII) and those of some recently reported analogues having no aromatic group in the side chain.     

Hydrogen‐bonded ribbons in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile

The pyrimidine rings in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate, C₁₄H₂₀N₆O₂, (I), and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile, C₁₈H₂₃N₇, (II), which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group, are both nonplanar with boat conformations. The molecules of (I) are linked by a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₄⁴(20) rings, while the two independent molecules in (II) are linked by four N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₂²(20) rings. This study illustrates both the readiness with which highly‐substituted pyrimidine rings can be distorted from planarity and the significant differences between the supramolecular aggregation in two rather similar compounds.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in rac‐1‐acetyl‐5‐methyl‐2‐thioxoimidazolidin‐4‐one

In the title compound, C₆H₈N₂O₂S, also known as N‐acetyl‐2‐thiohydantoin–alanine, the molecules are joined by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R₂²(8) dimers; these dimers are linked by C—H...O interactions to form R₂²(10) rings, thus forming C₂²(10) chains that run along the [101] direction.     

N,N′‐Dicyclohexyl‐N‐[4‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)butanoyl]urea

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₅N₃O₂, is a novel urea derivative. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds join the molecules into centrosymmetric R₂²(12) and R₂²(18) dimeric rings, which are alternately linked into one‐dimensional polymeric chains along the [010] direction. The parallel chains are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional framework structure parallel to the (001) plane. The title compound was also modelled by solid‐state density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A comparison of the molecular conformation and hydrogen‐bond geometry obtained from the X‐ray structure analysis and the theoretical study clearly indicates that the DFT calculation agrees closely with the X‐ray structure.     

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro‐4,6‐dipiperidinopyrimidinium hydrogen­sulfate monohydrate: hydrogen‐bonded sheets containing highly distorted cations

In the title compound, C₁₄H₂₃N₆O₂⁺·HSO₄⁻·H₂O, the pyrimidinium ring of the cation adopts a twist‐boat conformation, induced by steric clashes between adjacent ring substituents; the anions and the water mol­ecules are linked by three O—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [H⃛O = 1.70–1.78 Å, O⃛O = 2.548 (2)–2.761 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 161–168°] into chains of edge‐fused R(12) rings, which are linked into sheets by the cations, via three N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [H⃛O = 1.96–2.17 Å, N⃛O = 2.820 (2)–2.935 (2) Å and N—H⃛O = 145–173°].     

Crystal‐to‐crystal transformation upon dehydration of a copper(II) 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine complex

The reaction of 2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridine (terpy) with CuCl₂ in the presence of sodium sulfite led to the synthesis of the ionic complex aquachlorido(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridyl‐κ³N,N′,N′′)copper(II) chlorido(dithionato‐κO)(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridyl‐κ³N,N′,N′′)cuprate(II) dihydrate, [CuCl(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)(H₂O)][CuCl(S₂O₆)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)]·2H₂O, (I), and the in situ synthesis of the S₂O₆²⁻ dianion. Compound (I) is composed of a [CuCl(terpy)(H₂O)]⁺ cation, a [Cu(S₂O₆)(terpy)]⁻ anion and two solvent water molecules. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated the loss of two water molecules at ca 363 K, and at 433 K the weight loss indicated a total loss of 2.5 water molecules. The crystal structure analysis of the resulting pale‐green dried crystals, μ‐dithionato‐κ²O:O′‐bis[chlorido(2,2′:6′,2′′‐terpyridyl‐κ³N,N′,N′′)copper(II)] monohydrate, [Cu₂Cl₂(S₂O₆)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)₂]·H₂O, (II), revealed a net loss of 1.5 water molecules and the formation of a binuclear complex with two [CuCl(terpy)]⁺ cations bridged by a dithionate dianion. The crystal‐to‐crystal transformation involved an effective reduction in the unit‐cell volume of ca 7.6%. In (I), the ions are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the coordinated and solvent water molecules and O atoms of the dithionate unit, to form ribbon‐like polymer chains propagating in [100]. These chains are linked by Cu...Cl interactions [3.2626 (7) Å in the cation and 3.3492 (7) Å in the anion] centred about inversion centres, to form two‐dimensional networks lying in and parallel to (01). In (II), symmetry‐related molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the partially occupied disordered water molecule and an O atom of the bridging thiosulfite anion, to form ribbon‐like polymer chains propagating in [100]. These chains are also linked by Cu...Cl interactions [3.3765 (12) Å] centred about inversion centres to form similar two‐dimensional networks to (I) lying in and parallel to (02), crosslinked into three dimensions by C—H...O=S and C—H...O(water) interactions.     

Polymorphism in 2‐(4‐hydroxy‐2,6‐dimethylanilino)‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐1,3‐thiazin‐3‐ium chloride

Details of the structures of two conformational polymorphs of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₇N₂OS⁺·Cl⁻, are reported. In form (I) (space group P), the two N—H groups of the cation are in a trans conformation, while in form (II) (space group P2₁/c), they are in a cis arrangement. This results in different packing and hydrogen‐bond arrangements in the two forms, both of which have extended chains lying along the a direction. In form (I), these chains are composed of centrosymmetric R₄²(18) (N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings and R₂²(18) (N—H...O) hydrogen‐bonded rings. In form (II), the chains are formed by centrosymmetric R₄²(18) (N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings and by R₄²(12) (N—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings.     

N,N′‐Di­methyl­piperazinium(2+) phos­phonoacetate: hydrogen‐bonded anion sheets containing cation‐templated R66(28) rings

In the title compound, C₆H₁₆N₂²⁺·2C₂H₄O₅P^?, the cations lie across centres of inversion; in the anions, two of the H‐atom sites have 0.50 occupancy. The anions are linked by short O—H?O hydrogen bonds [O?O 2.465 (3)–2.612 (3) Å and O—H?O 165–171°] into sheets of alternating R(12) and R(28) rings, both of which are centrosymmetric; the cations lie at the centres of the larger rings linked to the anion sheet by N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.642 (2) Å and N—H?O 176°].     

rac‐(Z)‐2‐(2‐Thienylmethylene)‐1‐azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐3‐ol

The asymmetric unit of the racemic form of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₅NOS, contains four crystallographically independent molecules. The olefinic bond connecting the 2‐thienyl and 1‐azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan‐3‐ol moieties has Z geometry. Strong hydrogen bonding occurs in a directed co‐operative O—H...O—H...O—H...O—H R₄⁴(8) pattern that influences the conformation of the molecules. Co‐operative C—H...π interactions between thienyl rings are also present. The average dihedral angle between adjacent thienyl rings is 87.09 (4)°.     

Hydrogen‐bonded molecular ladders in 1,4‐bis(4‐chlorophenylsulfonyl)‐2,5‐dimethylbenzene

In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₆Cl₂O₄S₂, the mol­ecules lie across centres of inversion. A single type of intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bond, with a C?O distance of 3.254 (3) Å and a C—H?O angle of 132°, links the mol­ecules into ladders whose uprights form C(6) chains and whose rungs enclose centrosymmetric R(22) rings.     

Monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs of 4,4′,6,6′‐tetrachloro‐2,2′‐(piperazine‐1,4‐diyldimethylene)diphenol

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈Cl₄N₂O₂, crystallizes as monoclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs from CHCl₃–CH₃OH solution. In both polymorphic forms, the molecule lies on a crystallographic centre of inversion (at the piperazine ring centroid) and exhibits an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. In the monoclinic polymorph (space group P2₁/c), the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a ribbon sheet built from R₈⁸(34) rings. In the orthorhombic polymorph (space group Pbcn), the molecules are linked by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a ribbon sheet of R₆⁶(34) rings. The sheets in the orthorhombic polymorph are crosslinked into a three‐dimensional framework by π–π stacking interactions.     

trans‐Diaquabis(3‐hydroxybenzoato‐κO1)bis(nicotinamide‐κN1)copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], is a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular complex. The Cu^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridine N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₂²(4), R₂²(8) and R₂²(15) rings which lead to one‐dimensional polymeric chains. An extensive two‐dimensional network of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

Chains of edge‐fused hydrogen‐bonded R33(22) rings in 5,3′‐dihydr­oxy‐3,6,7,4′,5′‐penta­methoxy­flavone

The title compound [systematic name: 5‐hydroxy‐2‐(3‐hydroxy‐4,5‐dimethoxy­phenyl)‐3,6,7‐trimethoxy‐4H‐chromen‐4‐one], C₂₀H₂₀O₉, was isolated from the seeds of Cleom viscosa Linn. 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. The hydroxy O atoms are involved in intra­molecular hydrogen bonding. The mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O inter­actions into chains of edge‐fused R₃³(22) rings. Aromatic π–π and weak C—H⋯π(arene) inter­actions are also observed.     

Diaquabis(4‐fluorobenzoato‐κO)bis(nicotinamide‐κN)cobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₄FO₂)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], is a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular complex. The Co^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridyl N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₃²(6), R₂²(12) and R₂²(16) rings, which lead to two‐dimensional chains. An extensive three‐dimensional network of C—H...F, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

Racemic 1,2‐diphenylbut‐3‐yn‐2‐ol

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₆H₁₄O, are chiral and crystallize in space group P with Z′ = 2, and with one R and one S mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The conformations of the phenyl rings in the two independent mol­ecules differ slightly. Supramolecular organization in the crystal is via tetrameric O—H?H(O) hydrogen‐bonded synthons formed separately by each conformer. These tetrameric synthons stack along the c axis via C[triple‐bond]C—H?O(H) hydrogen bonds. The only link between the conformer stacks is provided by weaker C_methylene—H and C_phenyl—H interactions with π_arene density.     

The interplay of solvation,molecular conformation and supramolecular assembly in 1,1′‐({[(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)dioxy](1,2‐phenylene)}bis(methanylylidene))bis(thiosemicarbazide) and its N,N‐dimethylformamide disolvate

The wide diversity of applications of thiosemicarbazones and bis(thiosemicarbazones) has seen them used as anticancer and antitubercular agents, and as ligands in metal complexes designed to act as site‐specific radiopharmaceuticals. Molecules of 1,1′‐({[(ethane‐1,2‐diyl)dioxy](1,2‐phenylene)}bis(methanylylidene))bis(thiosemicarbazide) {alternative name: 2,2′‐[ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(oxy)]dibenzaldehyde bis(thiosemicarbazide)}, C₁₈H₂₀N₆O₂S₂, (I), lie across twofold rotation axes in the space group C2/c, with an O—C—C—O torsion angle of −59.62 (13)° and a trans‐planar arrangement of the thiosemicarbazide fragments relative to the adjacent aryl rings. The molecules of (I) are linked by N—H...S hydrogen bonds to form sheets containing R²₄(38) rings and two types of R²₂(8) ring. In the N,N‐dimethylformamide disolvate, C₁₈H₂₀N₆O₂S₂·2C₃H₇NO, (II), the independent molecular components all lie in general positions, but one of the solvent molecules is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.839 (3) and 0.161 (3). The O—C—C—O torsion angle in the ArOCH₂CH₂OAr component is −75.91 (14)° and the independent thiosemicarbazide fragments both adopt a cis‐planar arrangement relative to the adjacent aryl rings. The ArOCH₂CH₂OAr components in (II) are linked by N—H...S hydrogen bonds to form deeply puckered sheets containing R²₂(8), R²₄(8) and two types of R²₂(38) rings, and which contain cavities which accommodate all of the solvent molecules in the interior of the sheets. Comparisons are made with some related compounds.     

2‐Ethyl‐1‐[5‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrazol‐3‐yl]‐3‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)isothiourea: molecular ribbons containing three types of hydrogen‐bonded ring

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈N₄OS₂, was prepared by reaction of S,S‐diethyl 2‐thenoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5‐amino‐3‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole using microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. In the molecule, the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.814 (4) and 0.186 (4), and the bonded distances provide evidence for polarization in the acylthiourea fragment and for aromatic type delocalization in the pyrazole ring. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is present, forming an S(6) motif, and molecules are linked by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon in which centrosymmetric R₂²(4) rings, built from N—H...O hydrogen bonds and flanked by inversion‐related pairs of S(6) rings, alternate with centrosymmetric R₂²(6) rings built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds.     

2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(2‐methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[(2‐methoxyphenyl)methylamino]pyrimidine are isostructural and form hydrogen‐bonded sheets of R22(8) and R66(32) rings

2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(2‐methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O, (I), and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[(2‐methoxyphenyl)methylamino]pyrimidine, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O₂, (II), are isostructural and essentially isomorphous. Although the pyrimidine rings in each compound are planar, the ring‐substituent atoms show significant displacements from this plane, and the bond distances provide evidence for polarization of the electronic structures. In each compound, a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets built from centrosymmetric R₂²(8) and R₆⁶(32) rings. The significance of this study lies in its observation of the isostructural nature of (I) and (II), and in the comparison of their crystal and molecular structures with those of analogous compounds.
