Abstract  

Thiosemicarbazides and their derivatives are well known for their use in biological activity and many applications in pharmaceutical and industrial fields. The cyclization of 1-benzoyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3-thiosemicarbazide (BNPTSC) in dimethylformamide (DMF) medium furnished N-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-amine (NPPOA). The chemical structure of the above substituted 1,3,4-oxadiazole has been assigned by IR, mass and X-ray diffraction studies. The XRD studies reveal the presence of four types of hydrogen bonds (N–H···O, N–H···N, C–H···O, C–H···N) in the crystal packing. The crystal system was found to be orthorhombic with a space group Pca2(1) and the unit cell dimensions are: a = 26.873(3) ?, b = 6.0827(7) ?, c = 7.8502(10) ?, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90° and Z = 4.     

Crystal and Molecular Structures of Two Triazole Derivatives: 4-Cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazole and Methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate

Abstract  

The molecule in 4-cyclopropyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,3-triazole (I) is disposed about a mirror plane with the triazole ring lying in the plane and being orthogonal to the cyclopropyl ring. Considerable delocalization of π-electron density within the triazole ring is indicated by the pattern of bond distances in (I). The molecule of methyl 1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (II) adopts a curved shape with the dihedral angle formed between the triazole and benzene rings being 63.23(8)°. By contrast to (I), localization of π-electron density within the triazole ring in (II) is indicated. Both (I), via N–H···N hydrogen bonding, and (II), via C–H···O and C–H···N interactions, associate in the solid state to form supramolecular chains. In (I), the chain is a zigzag with a flat topology, whereas in (II) the linear chain has a curved topology. Compound (I) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a = 5.6470(2) ?, b = 7.3359(4) ?, c = 13.4404(7) ?, and Z = 4.

The Crystal Structures of (Z)-Ethyl 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(2,4-difluorophenyl-amino)acrylate and its Analogues

Abstract  

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₄ClF₂NO₂, crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/c with unit cell dimension of a = 16.276(3) ?, b = 7.5030(15) ?, c = 13.812(3) ?, α = 90°, β = 111.11(3)°, γ = 90° and Z = 4. The structure of the title compound reveals a Z configuration with respect to the C=C double bond in aminoacrylate fragment. The molecule is stabilized by intramolecular N–H···F and N–H···O hydrogen bonds. In the ethyl 2-aryl-3-arylaminoacrylates, electronic properties of the substituents in the aniline motif clearly affected the attached C–N bond length, and such effect is very little relative to Z-/E-configuration with respect to the C=C double bond.

The X-ray structure determination revealed that the center furanone ring is nearly coplanar with 3,4-dimethoxybenzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 0.860(69)°. Two kinds of centrosymmetric tetramers characterized by graph-set motifs of R ₇⁸(36) and R ₄⁶(32) are formed through O–H···O, O–H···N and C–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions, which generate a sheet of edge-fused rings parallel to the (011) plane. These sheets are further linked into a three dimensional network by C–H···π interactions. Nine 3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)furan-2(5H)-ones were synthesized and fully characterized by elemental analysis, MS and ¹H NMR. All of them were evaluated for antimicrobial activities against three Gram-positive organisms and a Gram-negative organism, and compound 5 was the most active against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923.

Abstract  

A pair of copper(II) complexes, [CuL¹(ONO₂)(OH₂)] 1 and [CuBrL²N₃] 2, where L¹ is 5-methoxy-2-[(2-morpholin-4-ylethylimino)methyl]phenolate, and L² is (2-morpholin-4-ylethyl)-(1-pyridin-2-ylethylidene)amine, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c, with a = 10.496(2), b = 19.113(3), c = 8.586(2) ?, β = 105.186(10)°. Complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with a = 16.606(3), b = 7.357(2), c = 26.043(5) ?, β = 94.996(2)°. The Cu atom in each complex is five-coordinate in a square pyramidal geometry.
