Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): a finite cyclic 1:1 adduct with 2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine

In ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₀H₉N₃, (I), there is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.03 Å, O?O 2.775 (2) Å and O—H?O 147°] in the ferrocenediol component, and the two neutral molecular components are linked by one O—H?N hydrogen bond [H?N 1.96 Å, O?N 2.755 (2) Å and O—H?N, 157°] and one N—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.26 Å, N?O 3.112 (2) Å and N—H?O 164°] forming a cyclic R(8) motif. One of the pyridyl N atoms plays no part in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, but participates in a short intramolecular C—H?N contact [H?N 2.31 Å, C?N 2.922 (2) Å and C—H?N 122°].     

1‐(1H‐Indol‐3‐ylcarbonyl)‐N‐(4‐methoxy­benzyl)formamide

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₃, the indole ring is planar and the two adjacent carbonyl groups are mutually trans oriented with a torsion angle of 144.8 (3)°. The single C—C bond linking the two carbonyl functionalities is 1.539 (4) Å. Mol­ecules are linked into a two‐dimensional network by inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

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°].     

[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.     

2‐(4‐Bromophenyl)‐1,2‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐4(3H)‐one and 4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2(1H)‐one form hydrogen‐bonded base‐paired dimers

The title compounds, 2‐(4‐bromo­phenyl)‐1,2‐di­hydro­pyrimido­[1,2‐a]­benzimidazol‐4‐(3H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂Br­N₃O, (IVa), and 4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐3,4‐dihydropyrimido[1,2‐a]benzimidazol‐2‐(1H)‐one, C₁₇H₁₅N₃O, (Vb), both form R(8) centrosymmetric dimers via N—H?N hydrogen bonds. The N?N distance is 2.943 (3) Å for (IVa) and 2.8481 (16) Å for (Vb), with the corresponding N—H?N angles being 129 and 167°, respectively. However, in other respects, the supra­molecular structures of the two compounds differ. Both compounds contain different C—H?π interactions, in which the C—H?π(centroid) distances are 2.59 and 2.47 Å for (IVa) and (Vb), respectively (the latter being a short distance), with C—H?π(centroid) angles of 158 and 159°, respectively. The supramolecular structures also differ, with a short Br?O distance of 3.117 (2) Å in bromo derivative (IVa), and a C—H?O interaction with a C?O distance of 3.2561 (19) Å and a C—H?O angle of 127° in tolyl system (Vb). The di­hydro­pyrimido part of (Vb) is disordered, with a ratio of the major and minor components of 0.9:0.1. The disorder consists of two non‐interchangeable envelope conformers, each with an equatorial tolyl group and an axial methine H atom.

The title complex, C₁₇H₉N₅·C₆H₄S₄, contains π‐deficient bis(di­nitrile) and TTF mol­ecules stacked alternately in columns along the a‐axis direction; the interplanar angle between the TTF molecule and the isoindolinyl C₄N[C(CN)₂]₂ moiety is 1.21 (4)°. The N‐allyl moiety in the TCPI mol­ecule is oriented at an angle of 87.10 (10)° with respect to the five‐membered C₄N ring, and the four C[triple‐bond]N bond lengths range from 1.134 (3) to 1.142 (3) Å, with C—C[triple‐bond]N angles in the range 174.3 (3)–176.9 (2)°. In the TTF system, the S—C bond lengths are 1.726 (3)–1.740 (3) and 1.751 (2)–1.763 (2) Å for the external S—C(H) and internal S—C(S) bonds, respectively.     

trans‐Bis[1‐benzyl‐3‐(2,3,4,5,6‐penta­fluoro­benz­yl)benzimidazol‐2‐yl­idene]­dibromo­palladium(II)

The title compound, [PdBr₂(C₂₁H₁₃F₅N₂)₂], crystallizes with two independent centrosymmetric conformational isomers having a square‐planar coordination at the Pd atom. The conformational isomers differ by the ligands having a cis or trans orientation of their benzyl and pentafluorobenzyl rings with respect to the benzimidazole ring plane. The benzimidazole rings are rotated with respect to the coordination plane of the metal by 79.1 (2) and 75.2 (1)° for mol­ecules A and B, respectively. The Pd—Br bond lengths are 2.4218 (8) and 2.4407 (10) Å for mol­ecules A and B, respectively, and the Pd—C bond lengths are 2.030 (8) and 2.018 (9) Å. The crystal structure contains two types of C—H⋯F and one type of C—H⋯Br intra­molecular contact, as well as C—H⋯π inter­actions.

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.     

(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.     

Conformational preferences in 2‐­nitrophenylthiolates: S‐(2‐nitro­phenyl) 4‐toluenethiosulfonate

In the title compound, C₁₃H₁₁NO₄S₂, the nitro group is rotated by 44.1 (1)° out of the plane of the adjacent aryl ring and the toluene­thio­sulfonate group is almost orthogonal to the plane of the nitrated aryl ring. There are three types of C—H?O hydrogen bond in the structure [C?O range 3.324 (3)–3.503 (3) Å; C—H?O range 160–173°] and these link the mol­ecules into a three‐dimensional framework.     

Intermolecular interactions in the chiral and racemic forms of 3‐­hydroxy‐2‐(1‐oxoisoindolin‐2‐yl)­butanoic acid derived from threonine

The title compounds, C₁₂H₁₃NO₄, are derived from l ‐threonine and dl ‐threonine, respectively. Hydro­gen bonding in the chiral derivative, (2S/3R)‐3‐hydroxy‐2‐(1‐oxoisoindolin‐2‐yl)­butanoic acid, consists of O—H_acid?O_alkyl—H?O=C_indole chains [O?O 2.659 (3) and 2.718 (3) Å], Csp³—H?O and three C—H?π_arene interactions. In the (2R,3S/2S,3R) racemate, conventional carboxylic acid hydrogen bonding as cyclical (O—H?O=C)₂ [graph set R₂²(8)] is present, with O_alkyl—H?O=C_indole, Csp³—H?O and C—H?π_arene interactions. The COOH group geometry differs between the two forms, with C—O, C=O, C—C—O and C—C=O bond lengths and angles of 1.322 (3) and 1.193 (3) Å, and 109.7 (2) and 125.4 (3)°, respectively, in the chiral structure, and 1.2961 (17) and 1.2210 (18) Å, and 113.29 (12) and 122.63 (13)°, respectively, in the racemate structure. The O—C=O angles of 124.9 (3) and 124.05 (14)° are similar. The differences arise from the contrasting COOH hydrogen‐bonding environments in the two structures.     

Bromo­(η4‐cyclo­octa‐1,5‐diene)[1‐(2,3,4,5,6‐penta­fluoro­benz­yl)‐3‐(2,4,6‐trimethyl­benz­yl)benzimidazol‐2‐yl­idene]rhodium(I)

The title complex, [RhBr(C₈H₁₂)(C₂₄H₁₉F₅N₂)], has a distorted pseudo‐square‐planar geometry. The Rh—C bond distance between the N‐heterocyclic ligand and the metal atom is 2.022 (3) Å. The angle between the carbene heterocycle and the coordination plane is 75.60 (11)°. It is shown that the average Rh—C(cyclo­octa­diene) distance is linearly dependent on the Rh—C(imidazole) distance in this type of compound. The crystal structure contains one intra­molecular and two inter­molecular types of C—H⋯F inter­actions, as well as one type of π–π stacking inter­action.     

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.     

(E)‐1‐(2′‐Deoxy‐β‐d‐ribo­furan­osyl)‐2,4‐di­fluoro‐5‐(2‐iodo­vinyl)­benzene

This analysis of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₃F₂IO₃, establishes the orientation of (E)‐5‐(CH=CH—I) as antiperiplanar (ap) to the C—C bond (5–6 position) of the 2,4‐di­fluoro­phenyl ring system, with the (E)‐5‐(CH=CH—I) H atom located in close proximity (2.17 Å) to the F4 atom of the 2,4‐di­fluoro­phenyl moiety.     

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.     

A hydrogen‐bonded heterodimer of 1‐(4‐hexyloxyphenyl)pyridin‐4(1H)‐one with 4‐cyano­benzoic acid

The two components of the title heterodimer, C₁₇H₂₁NO₂·C₈H₅NO₂, are linked end‐to‐end via O—H⋯O(=C) and C—H⋯O(=C) hydrogen‐bond inter­actions. Additional lateral C—H⋯O inter­actions link the dimers in a side‐by‐side fashion to produce wide infinite mol­ecular ribbons. Adjacent ribbons are inter­connected viaπ–π stacking and C—H⋯π(arene) inter­actions. This structure represents the first evidence of robust hydrogen‐bond formation between the moieties of pyridin‐4(1H)‐one and benzoic acid.     

2‐Amino‐4‐(4‐pyridyl)­pyrimidine and the 1:1 adduct with 4‐amino­benzoic acid

The structure of the title compound, C₉H₈N₄, comprises non‐planar mol­ecules that associate via pyrimidine N—H?N dimer R(8) hydrogen‐bonding associations [N?N 3.1870 (17) Å] and form linear hydrogen‐bonded chains via a pyrimidine N—H?N(pyridyl) interaction [N?N 3.0295 (19) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two rings is 24.57 (5)°. The structure of the 1:1 adduct with 4‐amino­benzoic acid, C₉H₈N₄·C₇H₇NO₂, exhibits a hydrogen‐bond­ing network involving COOH?N(pyridyl) [O?N 2.6406 (17) Å], pyrimidine N—H?N [N?N 3.0737 (19) and 3.1755 (18) Å] and acid N—H?O interactions [N?O 3.0609 (17) and 2.981 (2) Å]. The dihedral angle between the two linked rings of the base is 38.49 (6)° and the carboxyl­ic acid group binds to the stronger base group in contrast to the (less basic) complementary hydrogen‐bonding site.     

9,12‐Di­iodo‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane(12)

The title compound, C₂H₁₀B₁₀I₂, has a pseudo‐icosahedral cluster geometry. The crystal structure features an intermole­cular C—H⋯I—B hydrogen bond with a normalized H⋯I distance of 3.00 Å.     

Methyl 3‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)prop‐2‐enoate

The title mol­ecule, C₁₁H₁₂O₃, is almost planar, with an average deviation of the C and O atoms from the least‐squares plane of 0.146 (4) Å. The geometry about the C=C bond is trans. The phenyl ring and –COOCH₃ group are twisted with respect to the double bond by 9.3 (3) and 5.6 (5)°, respectively. The endocyclic angle at the junction of the propenoate group and the phenyl ring is decreased from 120° by 2.6 (2)°, whereas two neighbouring angles around the ring are increased by 2.3 (2) and 0.9 (2)°. This is probably associated with the charge‐transfer interaction of the phenyl ring and –COOCH₃ group through the C=C double bond. The mol­ecules are joined together through C—H?O hydrogen bonds between the methoxy and ester groups to form characteristic zigzag chains extended along the c axis.     

3‐(4‐Acetyl­phenyl)‐1‐(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazene

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₄O₃, shows that the stereochemistry about the N=N double bond of the N=N—N(H) moiety is trans. The whole mol­ecule is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0654 Å), the interplanar angle between the phenyl rings being 0.7 (1)° and the largest interplanar angle being that between the phenyl ring and the nitro group of the 4‐nitro­phenyl substituent [11.5 (2)°]. Intermolecular N—H⋯O interactions between mol­ecules related by translation give rise to chains along the [110] and [10] directions, and these chains are held together by N⋯O π–π interactions. An unequal distribution of the double‐bond character among the N atoms suggests a delocalization of π electrons over the diazo­amine group and the adjacent aryl substituents.
