Hydrogen bonding in C‐substituted nitroanilines: molecular ladders in 2‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline and sheets of R(12) and R(32) rings in 3‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline

In 2‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, C₇H₅F₃N₂O₂, (I), the mol­ecules lie across a mirror plane in space group Pnma. The mol­ecules are linked by paired N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a C(8)[R(6)] chain of rings, pairs of which are linked into a molecular ladder by a single C—H?O hydrogen bond. The isomeric 3‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, (II), has Z′ = 2 in space group P2₁/c. Each mol­ecule is linked to four others by N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from alternating R(12) and R(32) rings.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded molecular ladders in trans‐1,2‐bis(2‐nitro­anilino)­cyclo­hexane

Crystals of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀N₄O₄, contain equal numbers of (R,R) and (S,S) mol­ecules, but these are not precise enantiomorphs, neither are they related by crystallographic symmetry; in addition, each mol­ecule exhibits approximate, but not exact, twofold rotational symmetry. There are intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.609 (4)–2.638 (5) Å; N—H?O 125–132°] and the mol­ecules are linked into molecular ladders by C—H?O hydrogen bonds [C?O 3.306 (6)–3.386 (6) Å; C—H?O 146–160°].     

tert‐Butyl (3S,6R,9R)‐(5‐oxo‐3‐{[1(R)‐phenyl­ethyl]­carbamoyl}‐1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a‐octa­hydro­indolizin‐6‐yl)­carbamate monohydrate at 95 K

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₂H₃₁N₃O₄·H₂O, incorporates one water mol­ecule, which is hydrogen bonded to the 3‐oxo O atom of the indolizidinone system. The two rings of the peptidomimetic mol­ecule are trans‐fused, with the six‐membered ring having a slightly distorted half‐chair conformation and the five‐membered ring having a perfect envelope conformation. The structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H?O interactions between the water and adjacent peptide mol­ecules, and by N—H?O interactions between the peptide mol­ecules, which link the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

Adducts of 1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene: continuously interwoven structures in three dimensions

In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2), C₁₂H₁₂N₂·2C₂₀H₁₈O₃, the bipyridyl component lies across an inversion centre in P. The tris‐phenol mol­ecules [systematic name: 4,4′,4′′‐(ethane‐1,1,1‐triyl)­triphenol] are linked by O—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from R(38) rings, and symmetry‐related pairs of sheets are linked by the bipyridyl mol­ecules via O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form open bilayers. Each bilayer is interwoven with two adjacent bilayers, forming a continuous three‐dimensional structure. In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane–methanol (1/1/1), C₁₂H₁₀N₂·C₂₀H₁₈O₃·CH₄O, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds into three interwoven three‐dimensional frameworks, generated by single spiral chains along [010] and [001] and a triple‐helical spiral along [100].     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(5‐carboxy‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxyl­ato‐κ2N3,O4)­cobalt(II) 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvate

In the title compound, [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂, the Co atom is trans‐coordinated by two pairs of N and O atoms from two monoanionic 4,5‐di­carboxy­imidazole ligands, and by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvent molecule is not involved in coordination but is linked by an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to the neutral [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] mol­ecule. Both mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which produce a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. Offset π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of adjacent 4,4′‐bi­pyridine molecules were observed, with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.345 (1) Å.

In the chiral crystals of (—)‐(1S,2R)‐1‐[N‐(chloro­acetyl)­carbamoyl­amino]‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐inden‐2‐yl chloro­acetate, C₁₄H₁₄Cl₂N₂O₄, (II), the N—­H?O intermolecular hydrogen bond forms a zigzag chain around the twofold screw axis. The melting points and calculated densities of (I) and (II) are 446 and 396 K, and 1.481 and 1.445 Mg m^?3, respectively.     

9(R)‐[6(R)‐Hydroxy­methyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thia­cyclo­hexan‐2‐yl]hypoxanthine–water (4/3), a nucleoside analogue

The title compound, 9(R)‐[6(R)‐hydroxy­methyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thia­cyclo­hexan‐2‐yl]‐1,9‐di­hydro‐6H‐purin‐6‐one–water (4/3), C₁₀H₁₂N₄O₃S·0.75H₂O, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with four mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit and 0.75 waters of hydration per mol­ecule. The structure was refined to an R value of 0.072 for 3382 observed reflections. The four crystallographically independent mol­ecules are designated A, B, C and D. All four oxa­thia­ne rings adopt the chair conformation and the purine bases are in an anti orientation with respect to the sugar moieties. Molecules A and D and mol­ecules C and B are base paired by a single hydrogen bond of the type N—H?N. These base pairs are again hydrogen bonded to their translated pairs in the direction of a cell diagonal.     

Hydrogen bonding in nitroaniline analogues: hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine and π‐stacked hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 4‐amino‐2,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine

In 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, the mol­ecules are linked by one N—H⋯N and one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to form sheets built from alternating R(8) and R(32) rings. In isomeric 4‐amino‐2,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in P, the two independent mol­ecules are linked into a dimer by two independent N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are linked into sheets by a combination of two‐centre C—H⋯O and three‐centre C—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bonds, and the sheets are further linked by two independent aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions to form a three‐dimensional structure.     

N‐(2‐Amino‐1,6‐di­hydro‐5‐nitro­so‐6‐oxopyrimidin‐4‐yl)‐l‐isoleucine–water (4/1): interplay of molecular and supramolecular structures

In the title compound, 2C₁₀H₁₅N₅O₄·0.5H₂O, there are two independent mol­ecules of the pyrimidinyl­isoleucine in general positions and a water mol­ecule lying on a twofold rotation axis. The bond lengths within the organic moieties demonstrate significant polarization of the electronic structure. Each of the organic mol­ecules participates in 12 intermolecular hydrogen bonds, of O—H?O and N—H?O types, while the water mol­ecule acts as a double donor and as a double acceptor of O—H?O hydrogen bonds. The organic components are linked by the hydrogen bonds into a single three‐dimensional framework, reinforced by the water mol­ecules.     

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

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.     

Tris(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine–solvent adducts

The tris­(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine (ntb) mol­ecule crystallizes in different solvent systems, resulting in two kinds of adduct, namely the monohydrate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·H₂O or ntb·H₂O, (I), and the acetonitrile–methanol–water (1/0.5/1.5) solvate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·C₂H₃N·0.5CH₄O·1.5H₂O or ntb·1.5H₂O·0.5MeOH·MeCN, (II). In both cases, ntb adopts a tripodal mode to form hydrogen bonds with a solvent water mol­ecule via two N—H⋯O and one O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In (I), the ntb·H₂O adduct is further assembled into a two‐dimensional network by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, while in (II), a double‐stranded one‐dimensional chain structure is assembled via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with the acetonitrile mol­ecules located inside the cavities of the chain structure.     

2,4,5‐Tri­phenyl‐4H‐imidazol‐4‐yl hydro­peroxide–di­chloro­methane (2/1)

The structure of lophine peroxide was confirmed to be 2,4,5‐tri­phenyl‐4H‐imidazol‐4‐yl hydro­peroxide and not the 2,5‐endoperoxide. The asymmetric unit is composed of an O—H?N hydrogen‐bonded dimer of lophine peroxide with an R/R or S/S configuration and a CH₂Cl₂ solvent mol­ecule, i.e. 2C₂₁H₁₆N₂O₂·CH₂Cl₂.     

A 1:1 adduct of hexa­methylene­tetramine and 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde

In the title complex, C₆H₁₂N₄·C₈H₈O₃, the hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine mol­ecule accepts a single intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen bond from the hydroxy group of the 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde moiety. The non‐centrosymmetric crystal structure is built from alternating molecular sheets of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde and hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine mol­ecules, and is stabilized by intermolecular O—H?N, C—H?O and C—H?π interactions.     

Hydrogen‐bonded one‐dimensional networks in 1:1 complexes of N,N′‐bis(2‐pyridyl)aryldiamines with anilic acid

The 1:1 complexes N,N′‐bis(2‐pyridyl)­benzene‐1,4‐di­amine–anilic acid (2,5‐di­hydroxy‐1,4‐benzo­quinone) (1/1), C₁₆H₁₄N₄·C₆H₄O₄, (I), and N,N′‐bis(2‐pyridyl)­bi­phenyl‐4,4′‐di­amine–anilic acid (1/1), C₂₂H₁₈N₄·C₆H₄O₄, (II), have been prepared and their solid‐state structures investigated. The component mol­ecules of these complexes are connected via conventional N—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of an infinite one‐dimensional network generated by the cyclic motif R(9). The anilic acid molecules in both crystal structures lie around inversion centres and the observed bond lengths are typical for the neutral mol­ecule. Nevertheless, the pyridine C—N—C angles [120.9 (2) and 120.13 (17)° for complexes (I) and (II), respectively] point to a partial H‐atom transfer from anilic aicd to the bispyridyl­amine, and hence to H‐atom disorder in the OHN bridge. The bispyridyl­amine mol­ecules of (I) and (II) also lie around inversion centres and exhibit disorder of their central phenyl rings over two positions.     

Bis{1‐[N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐onato‐κ3O,N,O′}zinc(II) ethanol solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(C₁₈H₁₄NO₂)₂]·C₂H₆O, the Zn atom displays a highly distorted octa­hedral coordination involving the O and N atoms of two mol­ecules of the Schiff base 1‐[N‐(2‐methoxy­phenyl)imino­methyl]naphthalen‐2(1H)‐one, which acts as an O,N,O′‐tridentate ligand. The ethanol mol­ecule is bound to the methoxy group of one ligand mol­ecule via a hydrogen bond.     

Hexa­methyl­enetetra­mine–4‐nitro­catechol–water (1/2/1)

In the title adduct, 1,3,5,7‐tetra­aza­tri­cyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]dec­ane–4‐nitro­benzene‐1,2‐diol–water (1/2/1), C₆H₁₂N₄·2C₆H₅NO₄·H₂O, the hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine mol­ecule acts as an acceptor of intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen‐bonding interactions from the water mol­ecule and the hydroxy groups of one of the two symmetry‐independent 4‐nitro­catechol mol­ecules. The structure is built from molecular layers which are stabilized by three intermolecular O—H?O, two intermolecular O—H?N and four intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds. The layers are further interconnected by one additional intermolecular O—H?N and two intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds.

The supramolecular structures of the isomeric compounds 5,7‐di­methoxy­imidazo­[1,2‐c]­pyrimidine, C₈H₉N₃O₂, (I), and 7‐methoxy‐1‐methyl­imidazo­[1,2‐a]­pyrimidin‐5(1H)‐one, C₈H₉N₃O₂, (II), are determined by weak C—H⃛N and C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds in (I), which generate alternating linked centrosymmetric R(8) and R(10) rings that form a ribbon running parallel to the c axis, and by C—H⃛O bonds in (II), which link the mol­ecules into sheets comprising centro­symmetric R(10) and R(22) rings.     

1,2,4,5‐Tetrakis(2‐vinyl­pyridyl)­benzene–di­chloro­methane (1/2)

The title compound, C₃₄H₂₆N₄·2CH₂Cl₂, lies about an inversion center. The solvent mol­ecules interact with the benzene mol­ecule both through C—H⃛N hydrogen bonding to span pyridine N atoms of adjacent vinyl groups, possibly stabilizing the rotational conformation observed, and through a π interaction between a dichloromethane Cl atom and a pyridyl ring C—C bond of a c‐glide‐related mol­ecule. The benzene mol­ecules form stacks along the a axis such that two of the four olefin groups are properly oriented for photoreactivity (2+2 cyclo­dimerization).     

1,2‐Di­benzoyl­hydrazine

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, the molecule lies about a twofold axis; two carbonyl groups and the H atoms of the N—N bond are in a trans orientation with respect to each other. In the crystal, each mol­ecule is linked to the other and viceversa by intermolecular N—H?O hydrogen bonds between the amide hydrogen and the O atoms of neighbouring mol­ecules to form two ten‐membered rings, each of which has the graph‐set motif C4R(10). This extends as a polymeric chain along the c axis.     

Bis(3‐amino­pyridine‐κN)(4,4′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(per­chlorato‐κO)copper(II) per­chlorate

The title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]ClO₄, was prepared by in situ partial ligand substitution between 3‐amino­pyridine and 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine at room temperature. The central copper(II) ion is five‐coordinated by one bidentate 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine mol­ecule, two monodentate pyridine‐coordinated 3‐amino­pyridine mol­ecules and one apical O atom from the perchlorate counter‐ion. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions form a hydrogen‐bond‐sustained network.
