A bromine analogue of picoplatin: a new substance from the group of platinum‐based chemotherapeutics

A new substance, cis‐amminedibromido(2‐methylpyridine‐κN)platinum(II), cis‐[PtBr₂(C₆H₇N)(NH₃)], which is a potential platinum‐based antineoplastic agent for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. There is one molecule in the asymmetric unit and molecules are linked via two symmetry‐independent N—H...Br hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains running parallel to the c axis. C—H...Br hydrogen bonds crosslink these chains to give a layer parallel to (010). N—H...Br hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between pairs of pyridine rings stack the layers along b.     

Assembling an isomer grid: the isomorphous 4‐, 3‐ and 2‐fluoro‐N′‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamides

The three title isomers, 4‐, (I), 3‐, (II), and 2‐fluoro‐N′‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamide, (III), all C₁₂H₉FN₂O, crystallize in the P2₁/c space group (No. 14) with similar unit‐cell parameters and are isomorphous and isostructural at the primary hydrogen‐bonding level. An intramolecular C—H...O=C interaction is present in all three isomers [C...O = 2.8681 (17)–2.884 (2) Å and C—H...O117–118°], with an additional N—H...F [N...F = 2.7544 (15) Å] interaction in (III). Intermolecular amide–pyridine N—H...N hydrogen bonds link molecules into one‐dimensional zigzag chains [graph set C(6)] along the [010] direction as the primary hydrogen bond [N...N = 3.022 (2), 3.049 (2) and 3.0213 (17) Å]. These are augmented in (I) by C—H...π(arene) and cyclic C—F...π(arene) contacts about inversion centres, in (II) by C—F...F—C interactions [C...F = 3.037 (2) Å] and weaker C—H...π(arene)/C—H...F contacts, and in (III) by C—H...π(arene) and C=O...O=C interactions, linking the alternating chains into two‐dimensional sheets. Typical amide N—H...O=C hydrogen bonds [as C(4) chains] are not present [N...O = 3.438 (2) Å in (I), 3.562 (2) Å in (II) and 3.7854 (16) Å in (III)]; the C=O group is effectively shielded and only participates in weaker interactions/contacts. This series is unusual as the three isomers are isomorphous (having similar unit‐cell parameters, packing and alignment), but they differ in their interactions and contacts at the secondary level.     

2‐Ethyl‐6‐methylpyridin‐3‐ol and its salt bis(2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium) succinate

The title compounds, C₈H₁₁NO, (I), and 2C₈H₁₂NO⁺·C₄H₄O₄²⁻, (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. In the crystal structure of (I), intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds combine the molecules into polymeric chains extending along the c axis. The chains are linked by C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms and the pyridine rings into polymeric layers parallel to the ac plane. In the crystal structure of (II), the succinate anion lies on an inversion centre. Its carboxylate groups interact with the 2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium cations via intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds with the pyridine ring H atoms and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy H atoms to form polymeric chains, which extend along the [01] direction and comprise R₄⁴(18) hydrogen‐bonded ring motifs. These chains are linked to form a three‐dimensional network through nonclassical C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the pyridine ring H atoms and the hydroxy‐group O atoms of neighbouring cations. π–π interactions between the pyridine rings and C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms of the succinate anion and the pyridine rings are also present in this network.     

Supramolecular aggregation in three 4‐aryl‐6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitriles

Both 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile and 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐4‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile crystallize from dimethylformamide solutions as stoichiometric 1:1 solvates, viz. C₂₉H₂₁N₅·C₃H₇NO, (I), and C₂₉H₂₁N₅O·C₃H₇NO, (II), respectively; however, 6‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)‐3‐methyl‐1‐phenyl‐4‐(3,4,5‐trimethoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazolo[3,4‐b]pyridine‐5‐carbonitrile, C₃₁H₂₅N₅O₃, (III), crystallizes in the unsolvated form. The heterocyclic components of (I) are linked by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form cyclic centrosymmetric dimers, from which the solvent molecules are pendent, linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In (II), the heterocyclic components are linked by a combination of C—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds into chains containing two types of centrosymmetric ring, and the pendent solvent molecules are linked to these chains by N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Molecules of (III) are linked into simple C(12) chains by an N—H...O hydrogen bond, and these chains are weakly linked into pairs by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

A structural systematic study of three isomers of difluoro‐N‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamide

The isomers 2,3‐, (I), 2,4‐, (II), and 2,5‐difluoro‐N‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamide, (III), all with formula C₁₂H₈F₂N₂O, all exhibit intramolecular C—H...O=C and N—H...F contacts [both with S(6) motifs]. In (I), intermolecular N—H...O=C interactions form one‐dimensional chains along [010] [N...O = 3.0181 (16) Å], with weaker C—H...N interactions linking the chains into sheets parallel to the [001] plane, further linked into pairs via C—H...F contacts about inversion centres; a three‐dimensional herring‐bone network forms via C—H...π(py) (py is pyridyl) interactions. In (II), weak aromatic C—H...N(py) interactions form one‐dimensional zigzag chains along [001]; no other interactions with H...N/O/F < 2.50 Å are present, apart from long N/C—H...O=C and C—H...F contacts. In (III), N—H...N(py) interactions form one‐dimensional zigzag chains [as C(6) chains] along [010] augmented by a myriad of weak C—H...π(arene) and O=C...O=C interactions and C—H...O/N/F contacts. Compound (III) is isomorphous with the parent N‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamide [Noveron, Lah, Del Sesto, Arif, Miller & Stang (2002). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 124 , 6613–6625] and the three 2/3/4‐fluoro‐N‐(4‐pyridyl)benzamides [Donnelly, Gallagher & Lough (2008). Acta Cryst. C 64 , o335–o340]. The study expands our series of fluoro(pyridyl)benzamides and augments our understanding of the competition between strong hydrogen‐bond formation and weaker influences on crystal packing.     

Cocrystallization of adamantane‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid and 4,4′‐bipyridine

The cocrystallization of adamantane‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid (adc) and 4,4′‐bipyridine (4,4′‐bpy) yields a unique 1:1 cocrystal, C₁₂H₁₆O₄·C₁₀H₈N₂, in the C2/c space group, with half of each molecule in the asymmetric unit. The mid‐point of the central C—C bond of the 4,4′‐bpy molecule rests on a center of inversion, while the adc molecule straddles a twofold rotation axis that passes through two of the adamantyl C atoms. The constituents of this cocrystal are joined by hydrogen bonds, the stronger of which are O—H...N hydrogen bonds [O...N = 2.6801 (17) Å] and the weaker of which are C—H...O hydrogen bonds [C...O = 3.367 (2) Å]. Alternate adc and 4,4′‐bpy molecules engage in these hydrogen bonds to form zigzag chains. In turn, these chains are linked through π–π interactions along the c axis to generate two‐dimensional layers. These layers are neatly packed into a stable crystalline three‐dimensional form via weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds [C...O = 3.2744 (19) Å] and van der Waals attractions.     

(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in two aroylthiocarbamates and two aroylimidothiocarbonates

In O‐ethyl N‐benzoylthiocarbamate, C₁₀H₁₁NO₂S, the molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of two‐centre N—H...O and C—H...S hydrogen bonds and a three‐centre C—H...(O,S) hydrogen bond. A combination of two‐centre N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules of O‐ethyl N‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)thiocarbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₂S, into chains of rings, which are linked into sheets by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction. In O,S‐diethyl N‐(4‐methylbenzoyl)imidothiocarbonate, C₁₃H₁₇NO₂S, pairs of molecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of symmetry‐related C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, while the molecules of O,S‐diethyl N‐(4‐chlorobenzoyl)imidothiocarbonate, C₁₂H₁₄ClNO₂S, are linked by a single C—H...O hydrogen bond into simple chains, pairs of which are linked by an aromatic π–π stacking interaction to form a ladder‐type structure.     

Amide hydrogen bonding: control of the molecular and extended structures of two symmetrical pyridine‐2‐carboxamide derivatives

The crystal structures of two symmetrical pyridine‐2‐carboxamides, namely N,N′‐(propane‐1,3‐diyl)bis(pyridine‐2‐carboxamide), C₁₅H₁₆N₄O₂, (I), and N,N′‐(butane‐1,4‐diyl)bis(pyridine‐2‐carboxamide), C₁₆H₁₈N₄O₂, (II), exhibit extended hydrogen‐bonded sequences involving their amide groups. In (I), conventional bifurcated amide–carbonyl (N—H)...O hydrogen bonding favours the formation of one‐dimensional chains, the axes of which run parallel to [001]. Unconventional bifurcated pyridine–carbonyl C—H...O hydrogen bonding links adjacent one‐dimensional chains to form a `porous' three‐dimensional lattice with interconnected, yet unfilled, voids of 60.6 (2) ų which combine into channels that run parallel to, and include, [001]. 4% of the unit‐cell volume of (I) is vacant. Compound (II) adopts a Z‐shaped conformation with inversion symmetry, and exhibits an extended structure comprising one‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded chains along [100] in which individual molecules are linked by complementary pairs of amide N—H...O hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen‐bonded chains interlock viaπ–π interactions between pyridine rings of neighbouring molecules to form sheets parallel with (010); each sheet is one Z‐shaped molecule thick and separated from the next sheet by the b‐axis dimension [7.2734 (4) Å].     

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.     

4,6‐Diaminopyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione hemihydrate: a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework

In the title compound, C₄H₆N₄S·0.5H₂O, there are two independent pyrimidinethione units, both of which lie across mirror planes in the space group Cmca. Hence, the H atoms bonded to the ring N atoms in each molecule are disordered over two symmetry‐related sites, each having an occupancy of 0.5. The water molecule lies across a twofold rotation axis parallel to [010]. The molecular components of (I) are linked by seven independent hydrogen bonds, of N—H...N, N—H...S, N—H...O and O—H...S types. A combination of disordered N—H...N hydrogen bonds and ordered N—H...S hydrogen bonds links the pyrimidinethione units into a continuous tubular structure. The water molecule acts as both a double donor of hydrogen bonds and a double acceptor, forming hydrogen bonds with components of four distinct pyrimidinethione tubes, thus linking these tubes into a three‐dimensional structure.     

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.     

Benzyl N,N‐bis[2‐(pentafluoroanilino)ethyl]carbamate

The title compound, C₂₄H₁₇F₁₀N₃O₂, exhibits intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonding, as well as intramolecular Ar...Ar^F face‐to‐face interactions. The molecules are linked together by N—H...F—C hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the a axis. Adjacent symmetry‐related chains are combined in double zipper‐like ribbons by parallel Ar^F...Ar^F offset π‐stacking interactions.     

5α‐Androst‐3‐en‐17‐one oxime

The title compound, C₁₉H₂₉NO, is a C17‐oxime derivative of a potent aromatase inhibitor, which surprisingly has been found to have no inhibitory power. It crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. C=N—O—H...N hydrogen bonds link pairs of molecules to form dimers almost parallel to the bc plane. Cohesion of the structure is also due to another three C—H...O hydrogen bonds directed along the a axis. This hydrogen‐bonding scheme can be correlated to the almost complete loss of inhibitory power of the title compound.     

Probing the relationships between molecular conformation and intermolecular contacts in N,N‐dibenzyl‐N′‐(furan‐2‐carbonyl)thiourea

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₈N₂O₂S, molecules are linked by bifurcated C—H...O hydrogen‐bond interactions, giving rise to chains whose links are composed of alternating centrosymmetrically disposed pairs of molecules and characterized by R₂²(10) and R₂²(20) hydrogen‐bonding motifs. Also, N—H...S hydrogen bonds form infinite zigzag chains along the [010] direction, which exhibit the C(4) motif. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots were used to explore the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure. This analysis confirms the important role of C—H...O hydrogen bonds in the molecular conformation and in the crystal structure, providing a potentially useful tool for a full understanding of the intermolecular interactions in acylthiourea derivatives.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.     

Dimers linked by type‐I C—F...F—C contacts in (Z)‐3‐methyl‐4‐[2‐(4‐methylphenyl)hydrazinylidene]‐1‐(pentafluorophenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐5(4H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₁F₅N₄O, is described and compared with two closely related analogues in the literature. There are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions into dimeric entities, presenting a noticeable noncrystallographic C₂ symmetry. These dimers are in turn linked by a medium‐strength type‐I C—F...F—C interaction into elongated tetramers. Much weaker C—H...F contacts link the tetramers into broad two‐dimensional substructures parallel to (101).     

N,N′‐Diethyl‐4‐nitrobenzene‐1,3‐diamine, 2,6‐bis(ethylamino)‐3‐nitrobenzonitrile and bis(4‐ethylamino‐3‐nitrophenyl) sulfone

N,N′‐Diethyl‐4‐nitrobenzene‐1,3‐diamine, C₁₀H₁₅N₃O₂, (I), crystallizes with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, both of which are nearly planar. The molecules differ in the conformation of the ethylamine group trans to the nitro group. Both molecules contain intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds between the adjacent amine and nitro groups and are linked into one‐dimensional chains by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The chains are organized in layers parallel to (101) with separations of ca 3.4 Å between adjacent sheets. The packing is quite different from what was observed in isomeric 1,3‐bis(ethylamino)‐2‐nitrobenzene. 2,6‐Bis(ethylamino)‐3‐nitrobenzonitrile, C₁₁H₁₄N₄O₂, (II), differs from (I) only in the presence of the nitrile functionality between the two ethylamine groups. Compound (II) crystallizes with one unique molecule in the asymmetric unit. In contrast with (I), one of the ethylamine groups, which is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.75 and 0.25, is positioned so that the methyl group is directed out of the plane of the ring by approximately 85°. This ethylamine group forms an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond with the adjacent nitro group. The packing in (II) is very different from that in (I). Molecules of (II) are linked by both intermolecular amine–nitro N—H...O and amine–nitrile N—H...N hydrogen bonds into a two‐dimensional network in the (10) plane. Alternating molecules are approximately orthogonal to one another, indicating that π–π interactions are not a significant factor in the packing. Bis(4‐ethylamino‐3‐nitrophenyl) sulfone, C₁₆H₁₈N₄O₆S, (III), contains the same ortho nitro/ethylamine pairing as in (I), with the position para to the nitro group occupied by the sulfone instead of a second ethylamine group. Each 4‐ethylamino‐3‐nitrobenzene moiety is nearly planar and contains the typical intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond. Due to the tetrahedral geometry about the S atom, the molecules of (III) adopt an overall V shape. There are no intermolecular amine–nitro hydrogen bonds. Rather, each amine H atom has a long (H...O ca 2.8 Å) interaction with one of the sulfone O atoms. Molecules of (III) are thus linked by amine–sulfone N—H...O hydrogen bonds into zigzag double chains running along [001]. Taken together, these structures demonstrate that small changes in the functionalization of ethylamine–nitroarenes cause significant differences in the intermolecular interactions and packing.     

Six closely related 4,6‐disubstituted 2‐amino‐5‐formylpyrimidines: different ring conformations,polarized electronic structures,and hydrogen‐bonded assembly in zero,one, two and three dimensions

In each of ethyl N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₅O₃, (I), N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinamide, C₁₄H₁₆N₆O₂, (II), and ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐{2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]pyrimidin‐4‐yl}propionate, C₁₇H₂₁N₅O₃, (III), the pyrimidine ring is effectively planar, but in each of methyl N‐{2‐amino‐6‐[benzyl(methyl)amino]‐5‐formylpyrimidin‐4‐yl}glycinate, C₁₆H₁₉N₅O₃, (IV), ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐{2‐amino‐6‐[benzyl(methyl)amino]‐5‐formylpyrimidin‐4‐yl}propionate, C₁₈H₂₃N₅O₃, (V), and ethyl 3‐amino‐N‐[2‐amino‐5‐formyl‐6‐(piperidin‐4‐yl)pyrimidin‐4‐yl]propionate, C₁₅H₂₃N₅O₃, (VI), the pyrimidine ring is folded into a boat conformation. The bond lengths in each of (I)–(VI) provide evidence for significant polarization of the electronic structure. The molecules of (I) are linked by paired N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form isolated dimeric aggregates, and those of (III) are linked by a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into a chain of edge‐fused rings. In the structure of (IV), molecules are linked into sheets by means of two hydrogen bonds, both of N—H...O type, in the structure of (V) by three hydrogen bonds, two of N—H...N type and one of C—H...O type, and in the structure of (VI) by four hydrogen bonds, all of N—H...O type. Molecules of (II) are linked into a three‐dimensional framework structure by a combination of three N—H...O hydrogen bonds and one C—H...O hydrogen bond.     

3,3′,5,5′‐Tetramethyl‐4,4′‐bipyrazole–pentafluorophenol (2/3)

In the title compound, 2C₁₀H₁₄N₄·3C₆HF₅O, one of the pentafluorophenol molecules resides on a mirror plane bisecting the O...F axis. The components aggregate by N—H...N, N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds involving equal disordering of the H atoms into molecular ensembles based on a 2:1 pyrazole–phenol cyclic pattern [O...N = 2.7768 (16) Å and N...N = 2.859 (2) Å], crosslinked into one‐dimensional columns via hydrogen bonding between the outer pyrazole groups and additional pentafluorophenol molecules. The latter yields a 1:1 pyrazole–phenol catemer with alternating strong O—H...N [2.5975 (16) Å] and weaker N—H...O [2.8719 (17) Å] hydrogen bonds. This is the first reported molecular adduct of a pentafluorinated phenol and a nitrogen base, and suggests the utility of highly acidic phenols and pyrazoles for developing hydrogen‐bonded cocrystals.
