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].     

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.

In the title compound, C₁₀H₉N₃O₅, which was formed by the reaction of 6‐amino‐2‐methoxy‐4(3H)‐pyrimidinone with di­methyl acetyl­enedi­carboxyl­ate, the mol­ecules are linked by N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.8974 (15) and 3.0300 (15) Å, and N—H?O 165 and 174°] into planar sheets built from alternating R₂²(8) and R₆⁶(42) 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°].     

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.

In the adduct ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₀N₂, there is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond in the ferro­cene­diol component and a single O—H?N hydrogen bond linking the diol to the di­amine, which is disordered over two sets of sites, so forming a finite monomeric adduct. In the adduct ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–1,6‐di­amino­hexane (2/1), 2[Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₆H₁₆N₂, the amine lies across a centre of inversion in space group P.

The conformation of the C₃₂H₂₆N₄O₄S₂ (BQSDA) mol­ecule is determined by a bifurcated N—H?N hydrogen‐bond system. The acetone of solvation is linked to the BQSDA mol­ecule by an N—H?O hydrogen bond.

In the title compound, C₂₄H₁₈N₄O₃S·C₂H₆OS, the biindenylidene component shows evidence of polarization of the electronic structure. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules are disordered over two sites, and they are linked to the biindenylidenedione components via N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. A combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds links the nonsolvent components into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric R₂²(8) and R₂²(22) rings, and these chains are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.

The water molecules form C(2)‐type hydrogen‐bonded chains which are linked to the 1,4‐bis(1H‐benzimidazol‐1‐ylmethyl)benzene molecules through O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming sheets reinforced by π–π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings within the layers.     

Hydrogen bonding in 4‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine and two hydrohalide salts

The structures of 4‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine [C₆H₇N₃O₂, (I)], 2‐amino‐5‐nitroanilinium chloride [C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·Cl⁻, (II)] and 2‐amino‐5‐nitroanilinium bromide monohydrate [C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·Br⁻·H₂O, (III)] are reported and their hydrogen‐bonded structures described. The amine group para to the nitro group in (I) adopts an approximately planar geometry, whereas the meta amine group is decidedly pyramidal. In the hydrogen halide salts (II) and (III), the amine group meta to the nitro group is protonated. Compound (I) displays a pleated‐sheet hydrogen‐bonded two‐dimensional structure with R₂²(14) and R₄⁴(20) rings. The sheets are joined by additional hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional extended structure. Hydrohalide salt (II) has two formula units in the asymmetric unit that are related by a pseudo‐inversion center. The dominant hydrogen‐bonding interactions involve the chloride ion and result in R₄²(8) rings linked to form a ladder‐chain structure. The chains are joined by N—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form sheets parallel to (010). In hydrated hydrohalide salt (III), bromide ions are hydrogen bonded to amine and ammonium groups to form R₄²(8) rings. The water behaves as a double donor/single acceptor and, along with the bromide anions, forms hydrogen bonds involving the nitro, amine, and ammonium groups. The result is sheets parallel to (001) composed of alternating R₅⁵(15) and R₆⁴(24) rings. Ammonium N—H...Br interactions join the sheets to form a three‐dimensional extended structure. Energy‐minimized structures obtained using DFT and MP2 calculations are consistent with the solid‐state structures. Consistent with (II) and (III), calculations show that protonation of the amine group meta to the nitro group results in a structure that is about 1.5 kJ mol⁻¹ more stable than that obtained by protonation of the para‐amine group. DFT calculations on single molecules and hydrogen‐bonded pairs of molecules based on structural results obtained for (I) and for 3‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine, (IV) [Betz & Gerber (2011). Acta Cryst. E 67 , o1359] were used to estimate the strength of the N—H...O(nitro) interactions for three observed motifs. The hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the pairs of molecules examined was found to correspond to 20–30 kJ mol⁻¹.     

1‐(6‐Amino‐1,3‐benzodioxol‐5‐yl)‐3‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroquinolin‐3‐yl)prop‐2‐enone: a sheet built by π‐stacking of hydrogen‐bonded chains of rings

The bond distances in the molecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₁₄N₂O₄, provide evidence for electronic polarization in the aminoarylpropenone fragment and for bond fixation in the quinolinone unit. Molecules are linked by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains in which centrosymmetric rings of R₂²(8) and R₂²(18) types alternate, and these chains are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

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.     

Two new cadmium(II) coordination polymers based on bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)alkane ligands and pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid

Assemblies of pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and Cd^II in the presence of bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane or bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane under ambient conditions yielded two new coordination polymers, namely poly[[tetraaqua[μ₂‐1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₂‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ³N¹,O²:O³)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₈H₁₂N₆)(H₂O)₄]·2H₂O}_n, (I), and poly[[diaqua[μ₂‐1,2‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane‐κ²N⁴:N^4′]bis(μ₃‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ⁴N¹,O²:O³:O^3′)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {[Cd₂(C₆H₂N₂O₄)₂(C₆H₈N₆)(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O}_n, (II). Complex (I) displays an interesting two‐dimensional wave‐like structure and forms a distinct extended three‐dimensional supramolecular structure with the help of O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Complex (II) has a three‐dimensional framework structure in which hydrogen bonds of the O—H...N and O—H...O types are found.     

Adducts of bis(acetylacetonato)zinc(II) with 1,10‐phenanthroline and 2,2′‐bipyridine

In each of the zinc(II) complexes bis(acetylacetonato‐κ²O,O′)(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ²N,N′)zinc(II), [Zn(C₅H₇O₂)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)], (I), and bis(acetylacetonato‐κ²O,O′)(2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ²N,N′)zinc(II), [Zn(C₅H₇O₂)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)], (II), the metal center has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Compound (I) has crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry, with Z′ = 0.5. The presence of a rigid phenanthroline group precludes intramolecular hydrogen bonding, whereas the rather flexible bipyridyl ligand is twisted to form an intramolecular C—H...O interaction [the chelated bipyridyl ligand is nonplanar, with the pyridyl rings inclined at an angle of 13.4 (1)°]. The two metal complexes are linked by dissimilar C—H...O interactions into one‐dimensional chains. The present study demonstrates the distinct effects of two commonly used ligands, viz. 1,10‐phenanthroline and 2,2′‐bipyridine, on the structures of metal complexes and their assembly.
