2‐Hydroxy‐3‐(3‐oxobut­yl)naphthalene‐1,4‐dione

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂O₄, forms crystals which appear monoclinic but are actually twinned triclinic. The asymmetric unit consists of two similar mol­ecules, which differ only in the conformation of the 3‐oxobutyl side chain. The mol­ecular conformation is characterized by an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group and the adjacent carbonyl O atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connecting the mol­ecules into zigzag chains running along the b axis.     

(E)‐4‐[(2‐Carbamoylhydrazinylidene)methyl]‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐methylpyridin‐1‐ium nitrate

The title compound, C₉H₁₃N₄O₃⁺·NO₃⁻, is the first structurally characterized Schiff base derived from semicarbazide and pyridoxal. Unusually for an unsubstituted semicarbazone, the compound adopts a syn conformation, in which the carbonyl O atom is in a cis disposition relative to the azomethine N atom. This arrangement is supported by a pair of hydrogen bonds between the organic cation and the nitrate anion. The cation is essentially planar, with only a hydroxymethyl O atom deviating significantly from the mean plane of the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation of the remaining non‐H atoms = 0.01 Å). The molecules are linked into flat layers by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxymethyl group as a donor interconnect the layers into a three‐dimensional structure.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded supramolecular motifs in 4,4′‐bipyridinium 8‐hydroxy‐7‐iodo­quinoline‐5‐sulfonate dihydrate

In the title compound, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·C₉H₅INO₄S⁻·2H₂O, the 4,4′‐bi­pyridine mol­ecule is protonated at one of the pyridine N atoms. These moieties self‐assemble into a supramolecular chain along the a axis through N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The quinolinol OH group acts as a donor with respect to a sulfonate O atom [O—H⋯O(sulfonate)] and acts as an acceptor with respect to a C—H group of ferron [C—H⋯O(hydroxy)], forming a supramolecular chain along the b axis. These two types of supramolecular chains (one type made up of bi­pyridine motifs and the other made up of sulfoxine motifs) interact viaπ–π stacking, generating a three‐dimensional framework. These chains are further crosslinked by C—­H⋯O hydrogen bonds and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving water mol­ecules.     

Similarities and differences in the structures of 5‐bromo‐6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethylchroman‐2‐one and 6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethyl‐5‐nitrochroman‐2‐one

The title compounds, C₁₁H₁₁BrO₃, (I), and C₁₁H₁₁NO₅, (II), respectively, are derivatives of 6‐hydroxy‐5,7,8‐trimethylchroman‐2‐one substituted at the 5‐position by a Br atom in (I) and by a nitro group in (II). The pyranone rings in both molecules adopt half‐chair conformations, and intramolecular O—H...Br [in (I)] and O—H...O_nitro [in (II)] hydrogen bonds affect the dispositions of the hydroxy groups. Classical intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are found in both molecules but play quite dissimilar roles in the crystal structures. In (I), O—H...O hydrogen bonds form zigzag C(9) chains of molecules along the a axis. Because of the tetragonal symmetry, similar chains also form along b. In (II), however, similar contacts involving an O atom of the nitro group form inversion dimers and generate R₂²(12) rings. These also result in a close intermolecular O...O contact of 2.686 (4) Å. For (I), four additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds combine with π–π stacking interactions between the benzene rings to build an extensive three‐dimensional network with molecules stacked along the c axis. The packing in (II) is much simpler and centres on the inversion dimers formed through O—H...O contacts. These dimers are stacked through additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and further weak C—H...O interactions generate a three‐dimensional network of dimer stacks.     

catena‐Poly­[[(pyridin‐4‐ol‐κN)silver(I)]‐μ‐pyridin‐4‐olato‐κ2N:O]

The title complex, [Ag(C₅H₄NO)(C₅H₅NO)]_n, consists of a polymeric neutral chain involving both a neutral pyridin‐4‐ol ligand and a deprotonated pyridin‐4‐olate monoanion. The Ag^I atom shows a T‐shaped coordination geometry, defined by one N atom of the pyridin‐4‐ol and one O and one N atom of two independent pyridin‐4‐olate bridges; the N—Ag—N moiety is approximately linear. The polymeric chains are connected via strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and offset π–π interactions into a three‐dimensional network.     

3‐{[4‐Amino‐6‐methoxy‐2‐(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]amino}‐1,2′‐biindenylidene‐1′,3′‐dione dimethyl sulfoxide solvate: π‐stacked sheets of hydrogen‐bonded chains of edge‐fused rings

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.     

2,6‐Bis[(2‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine monohydrate

In the title compound, C₂₃H₁₉N₅O₆·H₂O, the two components are linked into complex chains by a combination of two independent O—H...O and two independent N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The complex chains are linked into a two‐dimensional sheet network viaπ–π stacking interactions and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Contrasting the supramolecular structures in the isomeric pair 5‐bromo‐3‐nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone and 3‐bromo‐5‐nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone

Isomeric 5‐bromo‐3‐nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone and 3‐bromo‐5‐nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone, C₁₃H₁₀BrN₃O₃, both crystallize with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In both isomers, an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond links the hydroxy group and the imine N atom. In the 5‐bromo‐3‐nitro isomer, there are two independent N—H...O hydrogen‐bonded chains, each molecule in the asymmetric unit forming its own chain. These chains are then linked to form a three‐dimensional framework by a combination of weak C—H...O, C—H...Br, C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions. In the 3‐bromo‐5‐nitro isomer, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the independent molecules alternately into a zigzag chain, which is reinforced by a weak C—H...O interaction. Individual chains are linked by a C—H...Br interaction and a three‐dimensional framework is generated by π–π stacking interactions.     

Hydrogen‐bonded networks in 1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2,2‐dimethylpropan‐1‐ol

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₈O₂, contains two independent molecules. They differ only slightly in conformation but form completely different intermolecular hydrogen‐bonded arrays. One molecule exhibits disorder in the hydroxy group region, but this does not influence the formation of hydrogen bonds. The bulky tert‐butyl group on one side of the carbinol C atom and the benzene ring on the other side promote the formation of discrete dimeric motifs via hydrogen‐bridged hydroxy groups. Dimers are further joined by strong hydroxy–methoxy O—H...O bonds to form chains with dangling alcohol groups. Weaker intermolecular C—H...O interactions mediate the formation of a two‐dimensional network.     

cis‐Dichloridobis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐diol‐κ2N,N′)manganese(II): a supramolecular chain formed via O—H...Cl bonds and aromatic stacking

The title compound, [MnCl₂(C₁₂H₈N₂O₂)₂], displays a novel supramolecular chain formed by intermolecular O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds and aromatic stacking. The molecule has crystallographically imposed twofold symmetry with the Mn^II atom on the twofold axis. In the 1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐diol ligand, each H atom of the two hydroxy groups is oriented towards the other hydroxy O atom. Both hydroxy groups form intermolecular O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds with a single Cl atom of an adjacent molecule. These hydrogen bonds connect the molecules via operation of the molecular twofold axis and the centre of inversion of the crystal lattice, forming a doubly‐bridged one‐dimensional structure with Mn atoms as the nodes. Strong aromatic π‐stacking between two antiparallel neighbouring 1,10‐phenanthroline‐5,6‐diol ligands also helps to stabilize the chain.     

Methyl 4‐[(1‐acetyl‐3‐tert‐butyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)amino]‐3‐nitrobenzoate

In the molecule of the title compound, C₁₇H₂₀N₄O₅, there are two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds having amidic and nitro‐group O atoms as the acceptors and together forming a three‐centre N—H...(O)₂ system. These interactions appear to play an important role in controlling the relative orientation of the pyrazole and aryl rings. The bond distances provide evidence for some polarization of the electronic structure. Molecules are linked into simple chains by a single C—H...O hydrogen bond.     

2,3‐Dimethoxy‐10‐oxostrychnidinium 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoate monohydrate: a 1:1 proton‐transfer salt of brucine with o‐picraminobenzoic acid

In the structure of the title 1:1 proton‐transfer compound of brucine with 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoic acid, C₂₃H₂₇N₂O₄⁺·C₁₃H₇N₄O₈⁻·H₂O, the brucinium cations form classic undulating ribbon substructures through overlapping head‐to‐tail interactions, while the anions and the three related partial solvent water molecules (having occupancies of 0.73, 0.17 and 0.10) occupy the interstitial regions of the structure. The cations are linked to the anions directly through N—H...O_COO− hydrogen bonds and indirectly by the three water molecules, which form similar conjoint cyclic bridging units [graph set R²₄(8)] through O—H...O_C=O and O—H...O_COO− hydrogen bonds, giving a two‐dimensional layered structure. Within the anion, intramolecular N—H...O_COO− and N—H...O_nitro hydrogen bonds result in the benzoate and picrate rings being rotated slightly out of coplanarity [inter‐ring dihedral angle = 32.50 (14)°]. This work provides another example of the molecular selectivity of brucine in forming stable crystal structures, and also represents the first reported structure of any form of the guest compound 2‐(2,4,6‐trinitroanilino)benzoic acid.     

Tetraaquabis[5‐(3‐pyridyl‐κN)pyrimidine]zinc(II) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate): a novel cationic complex and three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network

The title compound, [Zn(C₉H₇N₃)₂(H₂O)₄](CF₃O₃S)₂, contains an octahedral [ZnL₂(H₂O)₄]²⁺ cationic complex with trans geometry (Zn site symmetry ), and each 5‐(3‐pyridyl)pyrimidine (L) ligand is coordinated in a monodentate fashion through the pyridine N atom. In the extended structure, these complexes, with both hydrogen‐bond acceptor (pyrimidine) and donor (H₂O) functions, are linked to each other by intermolecular water–pyrimidine O—H...N hydrogen‐bonding interactions, resulting in a double chain along the crystallographic a axis. The trifluoromethanesulfonate anions are integrated into the chains via O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water and sulfonate O atoms. These double chains are associated into a novel three‐dimensional network through interchain water–pyrimidine O—H...N hydrogen bonds. The asymmetric ligand plays an important role in constructing this unusual supramolecular structure.     

2‐[(E)‐(4‐Hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene)amino]‐N‐(2‐methylphenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzothiophene‐3‐carboxamide

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₄N₂O₃S, exhibits antifungal and antibacterial properties. The compound crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, with one molecule exhibiting `orientational disorder' in the crystal structure with respect to the cyclohexene ring. The o‐toluidine groups in both molecules are noncoplanar with the respective cyclohexene‐fused thiophene ring. In both molecules, there is an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond forming a pseudo‐six‐membered ring which locks the molecular conformation and eliminates conformational flexibility. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H...O hydrogen bonds; both molecules in the asymmetric unit form independent chains, each such chain consisting of alternating `ordered' and `disordered' molecules in the crystal lattice.     

Di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium dichromate

The title compound, (C₆H₁₄N₂)[Cr₂O₇], consists of a di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium cation and a discrete dichromate anion, which are linked in the crystal by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The cation is ordered and distorted, owing to the confinement and twist of the hydrogen bonds involved. Two CrO₄ tetrahedra are joined through a shared O atom to form the dichromate anion. Chiral supramolecular chains of the title compound are built up via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and C—H⋯O interactions play subordinate roles in forming the structure.     

4‐Benzoyl‐3,4‐dihydro‐2H‐1,4‐benzoxazine‐2‐carbonitrile: refinement using a multipolar atom model

The structural model for the title compound, C₁₆H₁₂N₂O₂, was refined using a multipolar atom model transferred from an experimental electron‐density database. The refinement showed some improvements of crystallographic statistical indices when compared with a conventional spherical neutral‐atom refinement. The title compound adopts a half‐chair conformation. The amide N atom lies almost in the plane defined by the three neighbouring C atoms. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π hydrogen bonds.     

N‐tert‐Butyl‐N′‐[5‐cyano‐2‐(4‐methylphenoxy)phenylsulfonyl]urea,a new TXA2 receptor antagonist

The title compound, C₁₉H₂₁N₃O₄S, crystallizes in the space group P2/c with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of both molecules is very similar and is mainly determined by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between a urea N atom and a sulfonyl O atom. The O and second N atom of the urea groups are involved in dimer formation via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding motif and conformation of the C—SO₂—NH(C=O)—NH—C fragment are explored and compared using the Cambridge Structural Database and theoretical calculations. The crystal packing is characterized by π–π stacking between the 5‐cyanobenzene rings.     

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.     

(6‐Oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylato‐κ2O5,O6)bis[2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐κ2N2,N3]manganese(II) monohydrate

In the title compound, [Mn(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₁₂H₉N₃)₂]·H₂O, the Mn^II centre is surrounded by three bidentate chelating ligands, namely, one 6‐oxido‐2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydropyrimidine‐5‐carboxylate (or uracil‐5‐carboxylate, Huca²⁻) ligand [Mn—O = 2.136 (2) and 2.156 (3) Å] and two 2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole (Hpybim) ligands [Mn—N = 2.213 (3)–2.331 (3) Å], and it displays a severely distorted octahedral geometry, with cis angles ranging from 73.05 (10) to 105.77 (10)°. Intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds both between the Hpybim and the Huca²⁻ ligands and between the Huca²⁻ ligands link the molecules into infinite chains. The lattice water molecule acts as a hydrogen‐bond donor to form double O...H—O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the Huca²⁻ O atoms, crosslinking the chains to afford an infinite two‐dimensional sheet; a third hydrogen bond (N—H...O) formed by the water molecule as a hydrogen‐bond acceptor and a Hpybim N atom further links these sheets to yield a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. Possible partial π–π stacking interactions involving the Hpybim rings are also observed in the crystal structure.     

4,8‐Di­methoxy‐1‐naphthalene­methanol

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₄O₃, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group C2/c with one mol­ecule as the asymmetric unit. Each hydroxyl O atom is involved in hydrogen bonds with two other hydroxyl O atoms. The resulting chains of interactions propagate along [001]. In these interactions, the hydroxyl H atoms are disordered and the O?O distances are 2.648 (2) and 2.698 (2) Å. Two leading intermolecular C—H?O interactions have H?O distances of 2.80 and 2.84 Å and C—H?O angles of 136 and 144°; these interactions form chain and ring patterns. Taken together with the hydrogen bonds, they result in a three‐dimensional network.
