Hydro­gen‐bond networks in tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane and its 1:1 molecular complex with 4,4′‐bi­pyridine

In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane (or 4,4′,4′′‐methane­triyl­tri­phenol), C₁₉H₁₆O₃, mol­ecules are connected by O—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [O⃛O = 2.662 (2) and 2.648 (2) Å] into two‐dimensional square networks that are twofold interpenetrated. In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane–4,4′‐bi­pyridine (1/1), C₁₉H₁₆O₃·C₁₀H₈N₂, trisphenol mol­ecules form rectangular networks via O—H⃛O [O⃛O = 2.694 (3) Å] and C—H⃛O [C⃛O = 3.384 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds. Bi­pyridine mol­ecules hydrogen bonded to phenol moieties [O⃛N = 2.622 (3) and 2.764 (3) Å] fill the voids to complete the structure.     

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.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded molecular ladders in trans‐1,2‐bis(2‐nitro­anilino)­cyclo­hexane

Crystals of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀N₄O₄, contain equal numbers of (R,R) and (S,S) mol­ecules, but these are not precise enantiomorphs, neither are they related by crystallographic symmetry; in addition, each mol­ecule exhibits approximate, but not exact, twofold rotational symmetry. There are intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.609 (4)–2.638 (5) Å; N—H?O 125–132°] and the mol­ecules are linked into molecular ladders by C—H?O hydrogen bonds [C?O 3.306 (6)–3.386 (6) Å; C—H?O 146–160°].     

4,7‐Bis(4‐pyridyl­ethynyl)‐2,1,3‐benzo­thia­diazo­le and its dipyridinium diperchlorate

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₀N₄S, and its dipyridinium salt, 4,4′‐(2,1,3‐benzo­diazol‐4,7‐diyl­diethynyl)­dipyridinium diperchlorate, C₂₀H₁₂N₄S²⁺·2ClO₄^?, display bond alternation in the 2,1,3‐benzo­thia­diazo­le rings, which suggests their quinonoid character. The dipyridinium dication mol­ecules stack along the a axis and form a dimer with short S?N interheteroatom contacts [3.146 (4) Å] between the two 1,2,5‐thia­diazo­le rings. The dimer is surrounded by the perchlorate anions with which it forms a large number of intermolecular N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

(1R,3S)‐1‐Mono­amido­camphoric acid

The title compound, (1S,3R)‐3‐carbamoyl‐2,2,3‐tri­methyl­cyclo­pentane‐1‐carboxyl­ic acid, C₁₀H₁₇NO₃, was synthesized and characterized by IR, EA, ES–MS (electrospray ionization mass spectra), ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and X‐ray diffraction techniques. The two independent mol­ecules form a two‐dimensional network via O—H⃛O and N—H⃛O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between their carbox­ylic acid and carbamoyl groups.     

Ferrocene compounds. XXXIV. 1′‐(tert‐Butoxycarbonylamino)ferrocene‐1‐carboxylic acid

Heteroannularly substituted ferrocene derivatives can act as model systems for various hydrogen‐bonded assemblies of biomol­ecules formed, for instance, by means of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The crystal structure analysis of 1′‐(tert‐butoxy­carbonyl­amino)­ferrocene‐1‐carbox­ylic acid, [Fe(C₁₀H₁₄NO₂)(C₆H₅O₂)] or (C₅H₄COOH)Fe(C₅­H₄NHCOOC(CH₃)₃, reveals two independent mol­ecules within the asymmetric unit, and these are joined into discrete dimers by two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, viz. O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O. The –COOH and –NHCOOR groups are archetypes for dimer formation via two eight‐membered rings. The O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [2.656 (3) and 2.663 (3) Å] form a cyclic carboxylic acid dimer motif. Another eight‐membered ring is formed by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [2.827 (3) and 2.854 (3) Å] between the N—H group and an O atom of another carbamoyl moiety. The dimers are assembled in a herring‐bone fashion in the bc plane.     

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.     

Solvated and solvent‐free forms of N,N′‐di­thio­diphthal­imide

N,N′‐Di­thio­diphthal­imide, C₁₆H₈N₂O₄S₂, crystallizes from ethyl acetate with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, in which the N—S—S—N torsion angles are ?83.59 (19) and 92.9 (2)°. The mol­ecules are linked by C—H?O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions into a three‐dimensional framework. When crystallized from either di­chloro­methane or ethanol, solvates are formed in which the mol­ecules of the title compound lie across twofold rotation axes in space group C2/c, with N—S—S—N torsion angles of 93.54 (7) and 96.14 (11)°. There are no hydrogen bonds in these solvates, but the mol­ecules are linked by aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions into chains, between which there are continuous channels. Disordered solvent mol­ecules occupy these channels, which account for ca 20% of the unit‐cell volume.     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide and N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide

The mol­ecules of N,N′‐bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­dicarboxamide, [Fe(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O)₂], contain intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and are linked into sheets by three independent C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules of the isomeric compound N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide lie across inversion centres, and the mol­ecules are linked into sheets by a combination of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridyl groups.     

Bis(4‐nitro­phenyl) di­sulfide at 150 K,a three‐dimensional framework built from C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π⋯π stacking interactions

In the title compound, (4‐O₂NC₆H₄)₂S₂ or C₁₂H₈N₂O₄S₂, the mol­ecules lie across twofold rotation axes. A single type of C—H?O hydrogen bond, with C?O = 3.394 (3) Å and C—H?O = 158°, links the mol­ecules into continuous two‐dimensional sheets built from a single type of R⁴₄(44) ring. These sheets are linked by aromatic π?π stacking interactions to form a continuous three‐dimensional framework.     

2‐Formyl­benzonitrile

The title compound, C₈H₅NO, has an intra­molecular O⋯CN contact involving an O⋯C distance of 2.797 (2) Å and a C—C—N bond angle of 174.5 (2)°, both indicative of a weak nucleophilic attack of the aldehyde O atom on the electrophilic C atom in the nitrile group. Calculations at the B3LYP density functional level using the 6–31G* basis set support this inter­pretation; natural bond‐order analysis indicates an n_O1→π delocalization energy of 6.3 kJ mol⁻¹. Similar results were obtained from density functional calculations on three related mol­ecules. The 2‐formyl­benzonitrile mol­ecules pack in sheets as a consequence of C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

Precursor of a β‐lactamase inhibitor: allyl (4S,8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.03,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The molecular structure of the title tricyclic compound, C₁₇H₂₁NO₄, which is the immediate precursor of a potent synthetic inhibitor {Lek157: sodium (8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.0^3,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate} with remarkable potency, provides experimental evidence for the previously modelled relative position of the fused cyclo­hexyl ring and the carbonyl group of the β‐lactam ring, which takes part in the formation of the initial tetrahedral acyl–enzyme complex. In this hydro­phobic mol­ecule, the overall geometry is influenced by C—H?O intramolecular hydrogen bonds [3.046 (4) and 3.538 (6) Å, with corresponding normalized H?O distances of 2.30 and 2.46 Å], whereas the mol­ecules are interconnected through intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds [3.335 (4)–3.575 (5) Å].     

1,2‐Bis(N‐fluoro‐p‐toluene­sulfon­amido)­ethane chloroform solvate

The title compound, N,N′‐difluoro‐N,N′‐ethylenedi‐p‐tolu­enesulfonamide, C₁₆H₁₈F₂N₂O₄S₂·CHCl₃, is a novel stable compound of the N—F class of reagents containing two R₂N—F functionalities. The compound, as the chloro­form solvate, is the first such bis(N—F) compound to be structurally characterized. It adopts a solid‐state structure in which the two aromatic rings are antiperiplanar and a combination of weak C—H?F and C—H?O hydrogen bonds [distances and angles range from 3.265 (4) to 3.439 (4) Å and 150 to 170°, respectively] and π‐stacking between the rings of different mol­ecules (separations of 3.717 and 3.926 Å) results in a solid‐state structure containing well defined channels in which CHCl₃ solvent mol­ecules are located. The N—F distances are 1.428 (3) and 1.433 (3) Å.     

2′‐Deoxy‐7‐propynyl‐7‐deaza­adenosine: a DNA duplex‐stabilizing nucleoside

In the title compound, 2′‐deoxy‐7‐propynyl‐7‐deaza­adenosine, C₁₄H₁₆N₄O₃, the torsion angle of the N‐glycosylic bond is anti [χ = −130.7 (2)°]. The sugar pucker of the 2′‐deoxy­ribo­furanosyl moiety is C2′‐endo–C3′‐exo, ²T₃ (S‐type), with P = 185.9 (2)° and τ_m = 39.1 (1)°, and the orientation of the exocyclic C4′—C5′ bond is −ap (trans). The 7‐substituted propynyl group is nearly coplanar with the heterocyclic base moiety. Mol­ecules of the nucleoside form a layered network in which the heterocyclic bases are stacked head‐to‐tail with a closest distance of 3.197 (1) Å. The crystal structure of the nucleoside is stabilized by three inter­molecular hydrogen bonds of types N—H⋯ O, O—H⋯ N and O—H⋯ O.     

A synchrotron diffraction study of two polymorphic forms of 2,5‐bis[2‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]pyrazine

Two polymorphs, α and γ, of the title compound, C₂₂H₂₀N₂O₂, have been characterized by means of single‐crystal synchrotron X‐ray diffraction. In the α form, the mol­ecules pack in a herring‐bone fashion, linked via weak C—H?N intermolecular interactions (H?N 2.58 Å). In the γ form, the mol­ecules are arranged in nearly planar sheets, which form a network held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the type C—H?O (H?O 2.49 Å) and C—H?N (H?N 2.50 Å). The stacking distance between the sheets is 3.40 Å.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(5‐carboxy‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxyl­ato‐κ2N3,O4)­cobalt(II) 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvate

In the title compound, [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂, the Co atom is trans‐coordinated by two pairs of N and O atoms from two monoanionic 4,5‐di­carboxy­imidazole ligands, and by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvent molecule is not involved in coordination but is linked by an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to the neutral [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] mol­ecule. Both mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which produce a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. Offset π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of adjacent 4,4′‐bi­pyridine molecules were observed, with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.345 (1) Å.     

Novel heterocyclic inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases: three 6H‐1,3,4‐thiadiazines

The title compounds, (2S)‐N‐[5‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐2,3‐di­hydro‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl­idene]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)­amino]­pro­pan­amide, C₁₈H₁₇ClN₄O₃S₂, (I), (2R)‐N‐[5‐(4‐fluoro­phenyl)‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)amino]­propan­amide, C₁₈H₁₇FN₄O₃S₂, (II), and (2S)‐N‐[5‐(5‐chloro‐2‐thienyl)‐6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazin‐2‐yl]‐2‐[(phenyl­sulfonyl)­amino]­propan­amide, C₁₆H₁₅ClN₄O₃S₃, (III), are potent inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases. In all three compounds, the thia­diazine ring adopts a screw‐boat conformation. The mol­ecules of compound (I) show a short intramolecular N_Ala—H?N_exo hydrogen bond [N?N 2.661 (3) Å] and are linked into a chain along the c axis by N_endo—H?S_endo and N_endo—H?O_Ala hydrogen bonds [N?S 3.236 (3) and N?O 3.375 (3) Å] between neighbouring mol­ecules. In compound (II), the mol­ecules are connected antiparallel into a chain along the a axis by N_exo—H?O_Ala and N_Ala—H?N_endo hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.907 (6) and N?N 2.911 (6) Å]. The mol­ecules of compound (III) are dimerized antiparallel through N_exo—H?N_endo hydrogen bonds [N?N 2.956 (7) and 2.983 (7) Å]. The different hydrogen‐bonding patterns can be explained by an amido–imino tautomerism (prototropic shift) shown by different bond lengths within the 6H‐1,3,4‐thia­diazine moiety.     

catena‐Poly­[[di­aqua­lithium(I)]‐μ‐[9H‐purine‐2,6(1H,3H)‐dionato‐O2:N7]]

In the title compound, [Li(C₅H₃N₄O₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the coordinate geometry about the Li⁺ ion is distorted tetrahedral and the Li⁺ ion is bonded to N and O atoms of adjacent ligand mol­ecules forming an infinite polymeric chain with Li—O and Li—N bond lengths of 1.901 (5) and 2.043 (6) Å, respectively. Tetrahedral coordination at the Li⁺ ion is completed by two cis water mol­ecules [Li—O 1.985 (6) and 1.946 (6) Å]. The crystal structure is stabilized both by the polymeric structure and by a hydrogen‐bond network involving N—H?O, O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

Aquabromo(6‐carboxypyridine‐2‐carboxylato‐O,N,O′)mercury(II)

The title compound, [HgBr(C₇H₄NO₄)(H₂O)], was obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of mercury(II) bromide and pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, dipicH₂). The shortest bond distances to Hg are Hg—Br 2.412 (1) Å and Hg—N 2.208 (5) Å; the corresponding N—Hg—Br angle of 169.6 (1)° corresponds to a slightly distorted linear coordination. There are also four longer Hg—O interactions, three from dipicH^? [2.425 (4) and 2.599 (4) Å within the asymmetric unit, and 2.837 (4) Å from a symmetry‐related mol­ecule] and one from the bonded water mol­ecule [2.634 (4) Å]. The effective coordination of Hg can thus be described as 2+4. The mol­ecules are connected to form double‐layer chains parallel to the y axis by strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, and by weaker hydrogen bonds involving both H atoms of the water mol­ecule and the O atoms of the carboxylic acid groups.     

trans‐Diaquabis(1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate‐κ2N3,O4)­manganese(II)

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂], the Mn^II atom lies on an inversion centre, is trans‐coordinated by two N,O‐bidentate 1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate monoanionic ligands [Mn—O = 2.202 (3) Å and Mn—N = 2.201 (4) Å] and two water mol­ecules [Mn—O = 2.197 (4) Å], and exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, with adjacent cis angles of 76.45 (13), 86.09 (13) and 89.20 (13)°. The complete solid‐state structure can be described as a three‐dimensional supramol­ecular framework, stabilized by extensive hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving the coordinated water mol­ecules, the carboxy O atoms and the protonated imidazole N atoms of the imidazole‐4,5‐di­carboxyl­ate ligands.
