Bis­(melaminium) dl‐malate tetrahydrate

The crystal structure of the title melaminium salt, bis(2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium) dl ‐malate tetrahydrate, 2C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₄H₄O₅²⁻·4H₂O, consists of singly protonated melaminium residues, dl ‐malate dianions and water mol­ecules. The melaminium residues are connected into chains by four N—H⃛N hydrogen bonds, and these chains form a stacking structure along the c axis. The dl ‐malate dianions form hydrogen‐bonded chains and, together with hydrogen‐bonded water mol­ecules, form a layer parallel to the (100) plane. The conformation of the malate ion is compared with an ab initio molecular‐orbital calculation. The oppositely charged moieties, i.e. the stacks of melaminium chains and hydrogen‐bonded dl ‐malate anions and water mol­ecules, form a three‐dimensional polymeric structure, in which N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds stabilize the stacking.     

Supramolecular structures of three isomeric 4‐(methyl­phenylamino)­pyridine‐3‐sulfonamides

The structures of the three title isomers, namely 4‐(2‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (I), 4‐(3‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (II), and 4‐(4‐methyl­anilino)pyridine‐3‐sulfonamide, (III), all C₁₂H₁₃N₃O₂S, differ in their hydrogen‐bonding arrangements. In all three mol­ecules, the conformation of the 4‐amino­pyridine‐3‐sulfon­amide moiety is conserved by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and a C—H⋯O inter­action. In the supra­mol­ecular structures of all three isomers, similar C(6) chains are formed via inter­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to C(4) chains in (I), and to R₂²(8) centrosymmetric dimers in (II) and (III). In each isomer, the overall effect of all hydrogen bonds is to form layer structures.     

Melaminium maleate monohydrate

In the title compound, 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium maleate monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻·H₂O, containing singly protonated melaminium residues, maleate(1−) anions and water mol­ecules, the components are linked by hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional framework structure. The melaminium residues are connected by two pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into chains in the form of stacks, with a distance of 3.26 (1) Å between the triazine rings, clearly indicating π–π interactions. The maleate anion contains an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and the anions interact with the water mol­ecules via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains, also in the form of stacks, in which the almost‐planar maleate anions are separated by 3.26 (1) Å. The experimental geometries of the ions are compared with molecular‐orbital calculations of their gas‐phase geometries.     

Tris(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine–solvent adducts

The tris­(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine (ntb) mol­ecule crystallizes in different solvent systems, resulting in two kinds of adduct, namely the monohydrate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·H₂O or ntb·H₂O, (I), and the acetonitrile–methanol–water (1/0.5/1.5) solvate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·C₂H₃N·0.5CH₄O·1.5H₂O or ntb·1.5H₂O·0.5MeOH·MeCN, (II). In both cases, ntb adopts a tripodal mode to form hydrogen bonds with a solvent water mol­ecule via two N—H⋯O and one O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In (I), the ntb·H₂O adduct is further assembled into a two‐dimensional network by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, while in (II), a double‐stranded one‐dimensional chain structure is assembled via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with the acetonitrile mol­ecules located inside the cavities of the chain 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.     

2,3‐Difluoro‐4‐formyl­phenyl­boronic acid

The mol­ecule of the title compound, 2,3‐F₂‐4‐(CHO)C₆H₂B(OH)₂ or C₇H₅BF₂O₃, contains a formyl group coplanar with the benzene ring. The boronic acid group is twisted with respect to the benzene ring plane. The mol­ecules are organized into infinite chains via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These chains are additionally connected via strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, producing a folded layer structure perpendicular to the a axis. These layers are paired due to B⋯F inter­actions.     

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-3,7,7-trimethyl-1-[2-(4-nitrobenzoyl)ethyl]-4,7,8,9-tetrahydro-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]quinolin-5(6H)-one–ethanol (1/1)

Molecules of the title compound, C₂₈H₂₇ClN₄O₄·C₂H₆O, form a C(6) chain via an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond along the c axis by the operation of a c-glide plane, with N⋯O = 2.761 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 165°. The mol­ecules are further linked by a weak C—H⋯O interaction, with C⋯O = 3.344 (4) Å and C—H⋯O = 150°. Pendant hydrogen-bonded ethanol solvent mol­ecules are attached to the chains by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, with O⋯N = 2.904 (3) Å and O—H⋯N = 175°.     

An oxonium hydrogen sulfate of 3a,6a‐diphenyl­glycoluril

In the title compound, (5‐oxo‐3a,6a‐diphenyl­perhydro­imidazo[4,5‐d]imidazol‐2‐ylidene)oxonium hydrogen sulfate, C₁₆H₁₅N₄O₂⁺·HSO₄⁻, the asymmetric unit contains a hydrogen sulfate anion and a 3a,6a‐diphenyl­glycoluril oxonium cation. The hydrogen sulfate anion is joined to the oxonium cation via a strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bond (H⋯O = 1.69 Å). The crystal packing is mainly dominated by inter­actions involving the hydrogen sulfate anion. The diphenyl­glycoluril oxonium cations also self‐assemble through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming mol­ecular chains along the [001] vector. Four intra­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds are observed, having an S(5) motif.     

Cocrystallization of melaminium levulinate monohydrate

Crystals of 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium levulinate (4‐oxo­pentanoate) monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₅H₇O₃⁻·H₂O, are formed via self‐assembled hydrogen bonding by cocrystallization of mel­amine and levulinic acid. Two N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and four N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect two melaminium entities such that each of two pairs of N—H⋯O bonds bridges two H atoms belonging to the amine groups of two different melaminium cations via the carbonyl O atom of one levulinate mol­ecule.     

2′‐(4‐Fluoro­phenyl)‐[1,2,3]­triazolo[4′,5′:16,17]­androst‐5‐en‐3β‐ol methanol hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₅H₃₀FN₃O·0.5CH₃OH, contains four symmetry‐independent steroid and two methanol mol­ecules. The conformations of the independent steroid mol­ecules are very similar. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds create two independent chains, each of which links two of the independent steroid mol­ecules plus one methanol mol­ecule via a co‐operative O—H⋯O—H⋯O—H pattern. Intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions are also observed.     

Tolterodinium (+)‐(2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate

In the crystal structure of (R)‐N,N‐diisopropyl‐3‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl­phenyl)‐3‐phenyl­propyl­aminium (2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate, C₂₂H₃₂NO⁺·C₄H₅O₆⁻, the hydrogen tartrate anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form helical chains built from (9) rings. These chains are linked by the tolterodine molecules via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form separate sheets parallel to the (101) plane.     

Cyclo(l‐leucyl‐α,β‐dehydro­phenyl­alanine): the first diketopiperazine containing an α,β‐dehydro­phenyl­alanine residue

The title compound (systematic name: 3‐benzyl­idene‐6‐iso­butyl­piperazine‐2,5‐dione), C₁₅H₁₈N₂O₂, an α,β‐dehydro­phenyl­alanine containing diketopiperazine, crystallizes in the space group P1 with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit arranged antiparallel to one another. The α,β‐dehydro­phenyl­alanine (ΔPhe) residue in this cyclic peptide retains its planarity but deviates from the standard conformations observed in its linear analogues. Each type of mol­ecule forms a linear chain with mol­ecules of the same type via pairwise N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while weaker C—H⋯O inter­actions link the chains together to form a three‐dimensional network.     

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.     

Aqua­(phthalocyaninato)magnesium n‐propyl­amine disolvate

The crystals of the title compound, [Mg(C₃₂H₁₆N₈)(H₂O)]·2C₃H₉N, are built up from MgPc(H₂O) [Pc is phthalo­cyaninate(2−)] and n‐propyl­amine mol­ecules that inter­act via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The MgPc(H₂O) mol­ecule is non‐planar. The central Mg atom is coordinated by the four equatorial isoindole N atoms of the Pc ring system and by the O atom of an axial water mol­ecule. The Mg atom is displaced by 0.509 (1) Å from the N₄ plane towards the water O atom. MgPc(H₂O)·2(n‐propyl­amine) mol­ecules related by the inversion centre are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a dimeric aggregate.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Host–guest inter­action in a thio­urea–dimethyl oxalate (2/1) complex at 300 and 100 K

The title complex, 2CH₄N₂S·C₄H₆O₄, is a host–guest system. The asymmetric unit consists of one complete thio­urea mol­ecule and one‐half of a dimethyl oxalate mol­ecule lying on an inversion centre. The host thio­urea mol­ecules are connected to form zigzag chains by N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. The guest dimethyl oxalate mol­ecules provide O‐atom acceptors for N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus inter­connecting the chains of thio­urea mol­ecules to form completely connected sheets. The reduction in temperature from 300 to 100 K leaves the structure unchanged and still isostructural with that previously determined for the analogous thio­urea–diethyl oxalate (2/1) complex. It does, however, induce closer packing of the mol­ecules, general shrinkage of the unit cell and shortening of the hydrogen bonds, these last two to the extent of 1–2%.     

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.     

Salicylaldehyde 4,4′‐(hexane‐1,6‐di­yl)­thio­semicarbazone

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃OS, is in the thio­keto form, with the thione S and hydrazine N atoms cis with respect to each other so that the S atom is involved in inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds simultaneously. Inter­molecular C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in one‐dimensional polymeric chains of mol­ecules along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π ring inter­action binds the polymeric chains together.
