(2,9‐Dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)(pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylato‐κ3O2,N,O6)copper(II) trihydrate

The copper(II) centre in the mononuclear title complex, [Cu(C₇H₃NO₄)(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)]·3H₂O, is surrounded by one bidentate 2,9‐dimethyl‐1,10‐phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand and one tridentate pyridine‐2,6‐dicarboxylate ligand, and exhibits a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry. The crystal packing involves both hydrogen‐bonding and π–π inter­actions. The solvent water mol­ecules link monomers to one another through hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions, forming ladder‐like chains in the bc plane. Face‐to‐face and slipped π–π inter­actions also occur between dmphen rings of neighboring mol­ecules and are responsible for inter­chain packing.     

Naphthalene‐1,7‐diol

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₈O₂, contains two planar symmetry‐independent mol­ecules linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal structure, mol­ecules are linked into infinite chains of rings, formed by a combination of O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and additionally reinforced by π–π stacking inter­actions. Adjacent chains are connected by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions.     

Ammonium 3‐cyano‐4‐(dicyano­methyl­ene)‐5‐oxo‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐pyrrol‐2‐olate monohydrate

Each anion of the title salt, NH₄⁺·C₈HN₄O₂⁻·H₂O, is linked by two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to another anion, thus forming an essentially planar centrosymmetric dimer. The dimers are considered to be mol­ecular building blocks of an anionic wall. The building blocks form infinite ribbons via–C—N⋯N—C– dipole–dipole and π–π inter­actions. Adjacent ribbons are stacked by means of π–π inter­actions, thus forming an anionic wall. Neighbouring walls are connected by (NH₄⁺…H₂O)_n chains running along the b axis.     

4‐Bromo‐2‐{[4‐(3‐mesityl‐3‐methyl­cyclo­butyl)thia­zol‐2‐yl]hydrazono­meth­yl}phenol,with N—H⋯N,C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₆BrN₃OS, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P, with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The mol­ecules adopt an E geometry about the azomethine C=N double bond. The structure is stabilized as dimers by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions are also effective in the crystal packing.     

A bicapped trigonal–prismatic lead complex: catena‐poly[[[aqua­bis(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)lead(II)]‐μ‐squarato‐κO1:κ2O2,O3] dihydrate]

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Pb(C₄O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O}_n, contains one squarate dianion, two phenanthroline (phen) ligands and one aqua ligand all coordinated to Pb, and two solvent water mol­ecules. The eight‐coordinate Pb metal ion displays a distorted bicapped trigonal–prismatic coordination environment, defined by three squarate O atoms, four N atoms from two chelating phen ligands and one O atom from the coordinated water mol­ecule. The crystal structure contains chains of squarate‐1,2,3‐bridged Pb^II ions running in the [010] direction. These polymeric chains are linked to one another via offset face‐to‐face π–π inter­actions between the phen ligands, which lead to a two‐dimensional network extending along the (001) plane. The crystal structure is also stabilized by O—H⋯O inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond inter­actions, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

1‐Benzyl‐3,3‐dichloro‐1H‐indol‐2(3H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁Cl₂NO, was synthesized from N‐­benzyl­isatin. The compound crystallizes as stacks of mol­ecules running down the c axis. Mol­ecules within each of these stacks inter­act with each other through π–π and C—H⋯π inter­actions, and inter­act with neighbouring stacks through C—H⋯O inter­actions.     

Diaqua­bis(ethyl­ene­diamine)­cad­mium(II) bis­(4‐aminona­phthalene‐1‐sulfonate) dihydrate

In the title compound, [Cd(C₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)₂](C₁₀H₈NO₃S)₂·2H₂O, the Cd^II atom, located on an inversion centre, has a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry formed by two ethyl­ene­diamine and two water mol­ecules. 4‐Amino­naphthalene‐1‐sulfonate acts as a counter‐ion to balance the charge, and two anti­parallel anions showing strong π–π stacking inter­actions are linked by paired N—H⋯O(sulfonate) hydrogen bonds into an isolated R₂²(16) dimer. The crystal structure is stabilized by the π–π stacking inter­­actions and hydrogen bonds.     

β‐Lapachone

The most remarkable aspect of the crystal structure of the title compound (systematic name: 3,4‐dihydro‐2,2‐dimethyl‐2H‐naphtho[1,2‐b]pyran‐5,6‐dione), C₁₅H₁₄O₃, is that a π‐stacking inter­action is present between the two naphthalene ring systems of symmetry‐related mol­ecules. Apart from these π–π inter­actions, different mol­ecules are held together by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions.     

Bis(μ‐3‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐dicarboxyl­ato)‐κ8O1,O2:O2,O3;O3,O2:O2,O1‐bis­[triaqua­(2‐carboxy‐3‐nitro­benzoato‐κ2O,O′)lanthanum(III)] dihydrate

The title compound, [La₂(C₈H₃NO₆)₂(C₈H₄NO₆)₂(H₂O)₆]·2H₂O, consists of dimeric units related by an inversion center. The two La^III atoms are linked by two bridging bidentate carboxyl­ate groups and two monodentate carboxyl­ate groups. Each La^III atom is nine‐coordinated by six O atoms from five different carboxyl­ate groups and three from water mol­ecules. Hydrogen bonds between the water mol­ecules and between the solvent water and a carboxyl­ate O atom are observed in the structure. In the crystal packing, there are slipped π–π stacking inter­actions between the parallel benzene rings. Both hydrogen‐bonding and π–π inter­actions combine to stabilize the three‐dimensional supra­molecular network.     

N‐Cyclo­hexyl‐2‐[5‐(4‐pyridyl)‐4‐(p‐tolyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl­sulfanyl]­acetamide dihydrate

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₅N₅OS·2H₂O, the mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the b axis. In this arrangemant, the mol­ecules are linked to each other by a combination of one two‐centre N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and four two‐centre O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds containing two types of ring motif, viz.R₄⁴(10) and R₃³(11). In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric π–π inter­actions between the triazole rings, with a distance of 3.691 (2) Å between the ring centroids, also affect the packing of the mol­ecules.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in 7‐{2‐[4‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)piperazin‐1‐yl]eth­oxy}‐4‐methyl‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one monohydrate

In the title compound, C₂₃H₂₆N₂O₄·H₂O, the benzopyran ring system is planar. The piperazine ring adopts an almost perfect chair conformation, and the meth­oxy group is coplanar with its parent benzene ring. Hydrogen bonds link two water mol­ecules and two piperazine mol­ecules into tetra­meric units. The adjacent benzopyran moieties within these units also inter­act viaπ–π stacking inter­actions, and a sheet is formed by the propagation of these inter­actions. The bioassay results have shown α₁‐adrenoceptor antagonistic activity through in vitro animal experiments.     

Two rhod­amine derivatives: 9‐[2‐(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl]‐3,6‐bis(ethyl­amino)‐2,7‐di­methyl­xanthyl­ium chloride monohydrate and 3,6‐di­amino‐9‐[2‐(methoxy­carbonyl)­phenyl]xanthyl­ium chloride trihydrate

The title compounds, C₂₈H₃₁N₂O₃⁺·Cl^?·H₂O (common name rhod­amine‐6g), (I), and C₂₁H₁₇N₂O₃⁺·Cl^?·3H₂O (common name rhod­amine‐123), (II), both have planar xanthene skeletons with a formal +1 charge on the amino N atoms delocalized through the π‐electron system so that the N—Csp² bond distances indicate significant double‐bond character. The substituted planar phenyl groups make angles of 63.29 (8) and 87.96 (11)° with the xanthene planes in (I) and (II), respectively. In both mol­ecules, the carbonyl bond vectors point toward the xanthene rings. The ethyl­amine groups in (I) are oriented similarly with their CH₂–CH₃ bond vectors pointing nearly perpendicular to the xanthene plane. The chloride ions and water mol­ecules are disordered in both structures. In (I), the chloride ion and water mol­ecule are disordered between two sites. One water and chloride alternately occupy the same site with occupancy factors of 0.5. The other 0.5‐chloride and 0.5‐water occupy two distinct positions separated by 0.747 (8) Å. In (II), the chloride ion is disordered between three sites and one of the waters is disordered about two other sites. Both crystal structures are stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving the chloride ions, amino groups and water mol­ecules, as well as by π–π stacking between xanthene planes.     

N—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions in 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐(p‐tol­yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole and 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

The title compounds, C₁₀H₁₂N₄, (I), and C₉H₁₀N₄, (II), have been synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and structurally. The dihedral angles between the triazole and benzene ring planes are 26.59 (9) and 42.34 (2)°, respectively. In (I), mol­ecules are linked principally by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino NH₂ group and a triazole N atom, forming R₄⁴(20) and R₂⁴(10) rings which link to give a three‐dimensional network of mol­ecules. The hydrogen bonding is supported by two different C—H⋯π inter­actions from the tolyl ring to either a triazole ring or a tolyl ring in neighboring mol­ecules. In (II), inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions produce R₃⁴(15) and R₄⁴(21) rings.     

1,3‐Dibenzoylimidazolidine‐2‐thione and 1,3‐dibenzo­yl‐3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione

The title compounds, 1,3‐dibenzo­ylimidazolidine‐2‐thione, C₁₇H₁₄N₂O₂S, (I), and 1,3‐dibenzo­yl‐3,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2(1H)‐thione, C₁₈H₁₆N₂O₂S, (II), were obtained from the reactions of imidazolidine‐2‐thione and 1,4,5,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐2‐thiol, respectively, with benzoyl chloride. Compounds (I) and (II) contain, respectively, imidazolidinethione [C=S = 1.6509 (14) Å] and ­pyrimidinethione [C=S = 1.6918 (19) Å] moieties bonded to two benzoyl rings. The mol­ecules of (I) exhibit C₂ symmetry, the C=S bond lying along the twofold rotation axis, while the mol­ecules of (II) have mirror symmetry (C_s). The imida­zolidine ring in (I) is essentially planar, while the pyrimidine ring in (II) adopts a boat conformation. Mol­ecules of (I) are linked by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions, while mol­ecules of (II) are held together by van der Waals inter­actions.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in 6‐hydroxy­biochanin A monohydrate

In the lattice of the title compound (systematic name: 5,6,7‐trihydroxy‐4′‐meth­oxy­isoflavone monohydrate), C₁₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O, the isoflavone mol­ecules are linked into chains through R₄³(17) motifs composed via O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Centrosymmetric R₄²(14) motifs assemble the chains into sheets. Hydrogen‐bonding and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network structure.     

2,6‐Dimethyl‐1,4‐benzoquinone 4‐monooxime

Mol­ecules of the title compound, C₈H₉NO₂, are linked into sheets by a combination of C—H·N, O—H·N and O—H·O hydrogen bonds and C—H·π inter­actions. The hydrogen bonds are arranged as described by the graph‐set ring notations R₂²(7) and R₃³(5), and a C8 chain motif. There are two planar symmetry‐independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, with a dihedral angle of 19.24 (5)° between their least‐squares mean planes.     

A chloro‐bridged dinuclear phosphinitopalladium complex,di‐μ‐chloro‐bis­[(diphenoxy­phosphinite‐κP)(diphenoxy­phosphinito‐κP)palladium(II)]

The title compound, [Pd₂(C₁₂H₁₀O₃P)₂Cl₂(C₁₂H₁₁O₃P)₂], consists of a dinuclear μ‐chloro‐bridged palladium unit with two diphenoxy­phosphinite groups per Pd atom, linked together by a hydrogen bond. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the mol­ecule, with the other half generated by an inversion centre. The geometry around the P atoms may be described as distorted tetra­hedral. Adjacent mol­ecules of the complex are linked by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The structure is additionally stabilized by π–π stacking inter­actions between the aryl rings. These inter­actions form a herring‐bone pattern in the crystal structure.     

Monoclinic and triclinic concomitant polymorphs of di‐μ‐pyridazine‐1κ2N:2κ2N′‐bis­[(saccharinato)silver(I)]

Crystallization of the title compound, di‐μ‐pyridazine‐1κ²N:2κ²N′‐bis­[(2,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxobenzisosulfonazolato‐κN)silver(I)], [Ag₂(C₇H₄NO₃S)₂(C₄H₄N₂)₂], from acetonitrile yields both monoclinic, (I), and triclinic, (II), polymorphs. In both forms, the silver(I) ions have a slightly distorted trigonal AgN₃ coordination geometry and are doubly bridged by two neutral pyridazine (pydz) ligands, generating a centrosymmetric dimeric structure. The saccharinate (sac) ligands are N‐coordinated. The dihedral angles between the sac and pydz rings are 8.43 (7) and 7.94 (8)° in (I) and (II), respectively, suggesting that the dimeric mol­ecule is nearly flat. The bond geometry is similar in both polymorphs. In (I), the dimers inter­act with each other via aromatic π_sac–π_pydz stacking inter­actions, forming two‐dimensional layers, which are further crosslinked by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions. Compound (II) exhibits similar C—H⋯O and π–π inter­actions, but additional C—H⋯π and π⋯Ag inter­actions help to stabilize the packing of the dimers.     

Diaqua­malonato(1,10‐phenanthro­line)­zinc(II)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Zn(C₃H₂O₄)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂], the Zn^II atom displays a distorted octa­hedral geometry, being coordinated by two N atoms from the 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand, two O atoms from different carboxyl­ate groups of the chelating malonate dianion and two O atoms of cis water mol­ecules. The complex mol­ecules are linked to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular array by both hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions between coordinated water molecules and the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atoms of neighboring mol­ecules, and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between neighboring phenanthroline rings.
