Dichloro(2,2′‐diamino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thiazole‐N3,N3′)copper(II)

The title complex, [CuCl₂(C₆H₆N₄S₂)], has a flattened tetrahedral coordination. The Cu^II atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from a chelating 2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole ligand and by two Cl atoms. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding exists between the amino groups of the 2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole ligand and the Cl atoms. The intermolecular separation of 3.425 (1) Å between parallel bi­thia­zole rings suggests there is a π–π interaction between them.     

The perchlorate salt of the novel diprotonated dinucleating ligand 1,3‐bis­{[2‐(2‐pyridinio)eth­yl][2‐(2‐pyrid­yl)eth­yl]amino}benzene

In the title salt, 1,3‐bis­{[2‐(2‐pyridinio)eth­yl][2‐(2‐pyrid­yl)ethyl]amino}benzene diperchlorate dihydrate, C₃₄H₃₈N₆²⁺·2ClO₄⁻·2H₂O, the cation contains two ethyl­pyrid­yl and two ethyl­pyridinium pendant pairs anchored to the two N atoms of 1,3‐phenyl­enediamine. The pyrid­yl and pyridinium N atoms are flanked by a mol­ecule of water through strong hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions [N—H⋯O = 2.762 (6) and 2.758 (6) Å, and O—H⋯N = 2.834 (6) and 2.839 (6) Å]. The water mol­ecules have weak hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions with the perchlorate anions as well. One of the perchlorate anions is severely disordered.     

6‐(3,4‐Di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one

A new type of benzo­thia­zolinone derivative with potential pharmacological activity, viz. 6‐(3,4‐di­fluoro­benzoyl)‐3‐[2‐(4‐pyridyl)­ethyl]‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zol‐2(3H)‐one, C₂₁H₁₄F₂N₂O₂S, has been prepared and studied by NMR, IR and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. The mol­ecule is not planar, the pyridine and di­fluoro­benzene moieties being located above and below the benzo­thia­zole ring system. The carbonyl O atoms are involved in an intramolecular hydrogen‐bond‐type interaction.     

(2,2′‐Di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole‐κ2N3,N3′)(oxy­diacetato‐κ3O,O′,O′′)­copper(II) monohydrate

The title compound, [Cu(C₄H₄O₅)(C₆H₆N₄S₂)]·H₂O, displays a square‐pyramidal coordination geometry. The tridentate oxy­di­acetate dianion chelates the Cu^II atom in the facial mode. The large difference [0.487 (4) Å] between the longest Cu—O distance in the basal plane and that in the apical direction correlates with the small displacement of the Cu^II atom [0.0576 (13) Å] from the basal plane towards the apex of the square pyramid. The intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding network results in a closely overlapped arrangement of the coordination basal plane and the thia­zole ring of a neighboring mol­ecule.     

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole monoethanol solvate: triply‐interwoven hydrogen‐bonded sheets containing centrosymmetric R(8) and R(38) rings

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole crystallizes from solution in ethanol as a monosolvate, C₃H₃N₃O₂S·C₂H₆O, in which the thia­zole component has a strongly polarized molecular–electronic structure. The thia­zole mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by paired N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 2.09 Å, N⋯N = 2.960 (6) Å and N—H⋯N = 169°], and these dimers are linked by the ethanol mol­ecules, via a two‐centred N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, N⋯O = 2.838 (5) Å and N—H⋯O = 164°] and a planar asymmetric three‐centred O—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.07 and 2.53 Å, O⋯O = 2.900 (5) and 3.188 (5) Å, O—H⋯O = 169 and 136°, and O⋯H⋯O = 55°], into sheets built from alternating (8) and (38) rings. These sheets are triply interwoven.     

1‐Methyl­piperazine‐1,4‐diium 4‐nitro­phthalate(2–) 4‐nitro­phthalic acid monohydrate

The title adduct, C₅H₁₄N₂²⁺·C₈H₃NO₆²⁻·C₈H₅NO₆·H₂O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁. All O atoms of the 4‐nitro­phthalate anions and neutral 4‐nitro­phthalic acid mol­ecules are involved in hydrogen bonding with the piperazine dication and the water mol­ecule of crystallization.     

Aqua(2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole‐κ2N,N′)(imino­diacetato‐κ3O,N,O′)­chromium(III) chloride mono­hydrate

Crystals of the title compound, [Cr(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₆H₆N₄S₂)(H₂O)]Cl·H₂O, consist of Cr^III complex cations, Cl⁻ counter‐ions and lattice water mol­ecules. The complex cation assumes an octahedral coordination geometry, formed by a tridentate imino­di­acetate dianion (IDA), a di­amino­bi­thia­zole (DABT) mol­ecule and a water mol­ecule. The planar DABT group chelates the Cr^III ion with normal Cr—N distances [2.0574 (17) and 2.0598 (17) Å], but the DABT mol­ecule is inclined to the coordination plane by a dihedral angle of 17.23 (7)°. In the monodentate carboxylate groups of the IDA ion, the coordinated C—O bonds [1.288 (3) and 1.284 (3) Å] are much longer than the uncoordinated C—O bonds [1.222 (3) and 1.225 (3) Å].     

The diprotonated 2,2‐(propane‐1,3‐di­yl)bis­(1,1,3,3‐tetra­methyl­guanidinium) cation: packing and conformational changes

Subject to packing with different anions, the title cation undergoes various conformational changes with significantly different N—C—C—C torsion angles, as well as different angles between the NCN₂ guanidine planes. The 2,2‐(propane‐1,3‐di­yl)bis­(1,1,3,3‐tetra­methyl­guanidinium) salts reported here, viz. the dibromide, C₁₃H₃₂N₆²⁺·2Br⁻, the tetra­phenyl­borate chloride, C₁₃H₃₂N₆²⁺·C₂₄H₂₀B⁻·Cl⁻, the tetra­chloro­mercurate, (C₁₃H₃₂N₆)[HgCl₄], and the bis­(trifluoro­methanesulfonate), C₁₃H₃₂N₆²⁺·2CF₃SO₃⁻, are dominated by strong inter­molecular N—H⋯X hydrogen bonds, which form different packing patterns.     

2‐Amino­thia­zole and 2‐amino­thiazolinone derivatives

The reaction of different substituted α‐cyano­oxiranes with thio­urea resulted in the formation of the 2‐amino­thia­zolinone derivative 2‐amino‐5‐(2,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐1,3‐thia­zol‐4(5H)‐one, C₁₁H₁₂N₂O₃S, (I), and the 2‐amino­thia­zole derivative ethyl 2‐amino‐5‐(2,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐1,3‐thia­zole‐4‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₄H₁₆N₂O₄S, (II). The geometries of the two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in (II) are nearly identical but mirror related. The crystal structures of both compounds contain two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Melaminium bis(4‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate) dihydrate

The crystals of a new melaminium salt, 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazine‐1,3‐diium bis(4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate) dihydrate, C₃H₈N₆²⁺·2C₆H₅O₄S^?·2H₂O, are built up from doubly proton­ated melaminium(2+) residues, dissociated p‐phenol­sulfonate anions and water mol­ecules. The doubly protonated melaminium dication lies on a twofold axis. The hydroxyl group of the p‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate residue is roughly coplanar with the phenyl ring [dihedral angle 13 (2)°]. A combination of ionic and donor–acceptor hydrogen‐bond interactions link the melaminium and p‐hydroxybenzenesulfonate residues and the water mol­ecules to form a three‐dimensional network.     

Di­aqua­(2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole)­oxo­sulfato­vanadium(IV) tetrahydrate

The title compound, [VO(SO₄)(C₆H₆N₄S₂)(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O, displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The 2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi­thia­zole ligand is present in the usual chelating bidentate mode. The sulfate ligand coordinates in a monodentate fashion to the V atom. A large displacement of the V atom from the equatorial plane towards the oxo group correlates with the strong V=O double bond. In the crystal structure, a three‐dimensional supramolecular network is formed by hydrogen bonds.     

(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.     

4‐(4‐Chloro­phen­yl)‐3‐(4‐phenyl­pent‐4‐en­yloxy)‐1,3‐thia­zole‐2(3H)‐thione

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₈ClNOS₂, is a thia­zole‐derived thio­hydroxamic acid O‐ester. The value of Z′ is 3 and the asymmetric unit comprises three mol­ecules of identical helicity along the N—O bond. Two of these show an anti and the third a syn arrangement of substituents attached in positions 3 and 4 to the 1,3‐thia­zole nucleus.     

Poly­[[μ2‐aqua‐bis­[(1,10‐phenanthro­line)nickel(II)]]‐di‐μ2,μ4‐5‐nitro‐1,3‐benzene­di­carboxyl­ato]

The reaction of Ni(CH₃COO)₂·4H₂O, 5‐nitro‐1,3‐benzene­di­carboxylic acid (H₂nmbdc), 1,10‐phenanthroline and water under hydro­thermal conditions yields the first reported two‐dimensional nickel coordination polymer with water‐ and carboxyl­ate‐bridged dimeric units, viz. [Ni₂(C₈H₃NO₆)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]_n. The coordination polyhedron of the Ni^II ion in the title structure is an octahedron defined by an N₂O₄ donor set. The water mol­ecule is positioned on a mirror plane and the 5‐nitro‐1,3‐benzene­di­carboxylate group is located on a twofold axis. Two types of nmbdc²⁻ coordination mode are observed: one is a bis‐monodentate mode, μ₂‐nmbdc²⁻, and the other is a bis‐bridging mode, μ₄‐nmbdc²⁻. The dimeric unit in the title compound is similar to the structural moiety in urease. In the two‐dimensional framework in the title compound, strong stacking interactions between benzene rings (μ₂‐nmbdc²⁻ and μ₄‐nmbdc²⁻) and 1,10‐phenanthroline ligands are observed.     

2‐[2‐Methyl‐5‐nitro‐4‐(phenyl­sulfonyl­methyl)­imidazol‐1‐yl]­ethanol and 2‐methyl‐5‐nitro‐4‐phenyl­sulfonyl­methyl‐1,3‐thia­zole

The title compounds, C₁₃H₁₅N₃O₅S and C₁₁H₁₀N₂O₄S₂, respectively, both contain a phenyl­sulfonyl group connected, through a methyl­ene bridge, to either a substituted nitro­imidazole or nitro‐1,3‐thia­zole ring. In the imidazole‐containing mol­ecule, the nitro and sulfonyl groups are trans relative to the sulfonyl–methyl bond, while in the thia­zole‐containing mol­ecule, these substituents are cis. The stabilizing interactions within the crystals are also different between the two compounds.     

Flat versus twisted rotamers of 2,4‐­disubstituted thiazoles: the effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonds

In the title compounds, 2‐amino‐4‐(2‐chloro‐4,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐1,3‐thia­zole, C₁₁H₁₁ClN₂O₂S, (I), and 4‐(2‐chloro‐4,5‐di­methoxy­phenyl)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐thia­zole, C₁₂H₁₂ClNO₂S, (II), the dihedral angles between the thia­zole moiety and the chloro­aryl group are 51.61 (10) and 8.44 (14)°, respectively. This difference is a consequence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds forcing the stabilization of a twisted rotamer in (I). Substitution of the amino function by a methyl group precludes these contacts, giving a flat rotamer in (II).     

Tetrakis(μ‐benzothiazole‐2‐thiolato)‐1:2κ4N:S2;1:2κ4S2:N‐dichloro‐1κCl,2κCl‐dirhenium(III)(Re—Re) dichloromethane solvate: a bridged complex with a long Re—Re quadruple bond

The title compound, [Re₂(C₇H₄NS₂)₄Cl₂]·CH₂Cl₂, consists of dirhenium mol­ecules with bridging N,S‐benzo­thia­zole‐2‐thiol­ate ligands, axial Cl^? ligands and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. These mol­ecules adopt somewhat staggered conformations, with a long Re—Re quadruple bond distance of 2.2716 (3) Å.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in methyl­aminium 4′,7‐dihydroxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate dihydrate and hexa­aqua­iron(II) bis­(4′,7‐diethoxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate) tetra­hydrate

In methyl­aminium 4′,7‐dihydroxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate dihydrate, CH₆N⁺·C₁₅H₉O₇S⁻·2H₂O, 11 hydrogen bonds exist between the methyl­aminium cations, the iso­flavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. In hexa­aqua­iron(II) bis­(4′,7‐diethoxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate) tetra­hydrate, [Fe(H₂O)₆](C₁₉H₁₇O₇S)₂·4H₂O, 12 hydrogen bonds exist between the centrosymmetric [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cation, the isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. Additional π–π stacking inter­actions generate three‐dimensional supramolecular structures in both compounds.     

Hydro­gen bonding in proton‐transfer compounds of 8‐quinolinol (oxine) with aromatic sulfonic acids

The crystal structures of the proton‐transfer compounds of 8‐quinolinol (oxine) with the aromatic sulfonic acids 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonic acid (orthanilic acid) and 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonic acid (ferron) have been determined. In both 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 2‐amino­benzene­sulfonate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₆H₆NO₃S⁻, (I), and 8‐hydroxyquino­linium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate ses­qui­hydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₉H₆INO₄S⁻·1.5H₂O, (II), extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions, together with significant cation–cation [in (I)] and cation–anion [in (II)] π–π stacking associations, give rise to layered polymer structures.     

Hydro­gen bonding in proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases

The crystal structures of quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate trihydrate, C₉H₈N⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·3H₂O, (I), 8‐hydroxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate monohydrate, C₉H₈NO⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·H₂O, (II), 8‐amino­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate dihydrate, C₉H₉N₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·2H₂O, (III), and 2‐carboxy­quinolinium 3‐carboxy‐4‐hydroxy­benzene­sulfonate quinolinium‐2‐carboxylate, C₁₀H₈NO₂⁺·C₇H₅O₆S⁻·C₁₀H₇NO₂, (IV), four proton‐transfer compounds of 5‐sulfosalicylic acid with bicyclic heteroaromatic Lewis bases, reveal in each the presence of variously hydrogen‐bonded polymers. In only one of these compounds, viz. (II), is the protonated quinolinium group involved in a direct primary N⁺—H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen‐bonding interaction, while in the other hydrates, viz. (I) and (III), the water mol­ecules participate in the primary intermediate interaction. The quinaldic acid (quinoline‐2‐carboxylic acid) adduct, (IV), exhibits cation–cation and anion–adduct hydrogen bonding but no direct formal heteromolecular interaction other than a number of weak cation–anion and cation–adduct π–π stacking associations. In all other compounds, secondary interactions give rise to network polymer structures.
