Abstract  

The molecule of (E)-3-(3-MeOC₆H₄CH=CHCO)-benzotriazole 1-oxide, 2, has a very near planar structure, while the 2-nitrophenyl ring is rotated out of the plane of the remaining atoms in (E)-3-(2-O₂NC₆H₄CH=CHCO)-benzotriazole 1-oxide, 1. The nitrogen oxide bond lengths in 1 and 2 are 1.258 (6) and 1.2683 (15) ?, respectively, and are in the region found for related compounds. There are no strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonds in either compound, instead there are weak C–H···O intermolecular hydrogen-bonds and π···π stacking interactions in 1, and C–H···O, C–H···π, and π···π stacking interactions in 2. Different three-dimensional arrays are generated in each case. Compound 1 crystallises in the orthorhombic space group Pna2₁, with a = 25.061 (2) ?, b = 3.6997 (2) ?, c = 14.2623 (12) ? and Z = 4.

Hydrogen Bonded 3D Supramolecular Architectures of Three Saccharinate Salts

Abstract  

Three saccharinate salts (2-aminopyrimidine): (saccharin) (1), (4-phenylthiazol-2-amine): (saccharin) (2), and (2-methylquinoline): (saccharin) (3) were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Salt 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 7.1782(9) ?, b = 13.5105(16) ?, c = 12.2251(12) ?, β = 93.3410(10)°, V = 1183.6(2) ?³, Z = 4. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 7.4584(7) ?, b = 8.6930(9) ?, c = 12.9179(14) ?, α = 108.952(2)°, β = 91.7510(10)°, γ = 97.2280(10)°, V = 783.57(14) ?³, Z = 2. Compound 3 crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, with a = 7.781(8) ?, b = 19.4209(19) ?, c = 10.9719(12) ?, β = 107.7390(10)°, V = 1579.2(16) ?³, Z = 4. The different hydrogen bonding interaction modes of the saccharinate anions and the cations lead to 3D network structure, 3D staircase structure, and 3D ABAB layer structure for 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Despite variations in the cation shape on the aromatic N–heterocyclic compounds, there all existed strong intermolecular N–H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds. In compounds 1, and 3 the N⁺–H⋯O interaction between the N⁺–H group of the cation and the C=O group of the saccharinate anion is the most important interaction in this family of salts. However, in 2, there was a N–H⋯O interaction between the amino proton and the C=O group of the saccharinate anion. At the next level, the aromatic C–H proton interacts with the sulfonyl O atom. There are also π–π interactions in compounds 1–2, there is CH₃–π interaction in 3. Under these interactions the three compounds exhibit synthons I–III respectively. These interactions are responsible for the high-yielding supramolecular assembly of N-containing aromatic bases and the saccharinate into salts.     

Structures of Three Chalcones Derived from 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde

Abstract  In the molecular structures of three new structurally related chalcone derivatives, namely (2E)-1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C₂₀H₁₆O₃, I, (2E)-1-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)prop-2-en-1-one, C₁₉H₁₄ClNO₂, II, and (2E)-3-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)-1-pyridin-4-ylprop-2-en-1-one, III, C₁₉H₁₅NO₂, the configuration of the keto group is syn with respect to the olefinic double bond. In all three structures the molecules pack with weak intermolecular C–H···O interactions utilizing both the methoxy and keto oxygen’s in I, the methoxy oxygen in II and the keto oxygen in III. These interactions link the molecules into chains diagonally along the (011) plane of the unit cell in I and III and along the (010) plane in II. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and 2-napthyl rings in I is 31.7(3)°. In II and III the dihedral angle between the pyridyl and 2-naphthyl rings is 14.4(9)° and 1.8(9)°, respectively. C–H···O hydrogen bonding interactions influence these twist angles of these rings in I–III while weak π–π stacking interactions between naphthyl rings in I and III and also between pyridyl and naphthyl rings in II help stabilize crystal packing.

For 1, two dimensional network structure is formed through imidazolium moieties forming hydrogen bonds to di-ionic carboxylate groups of fumarate chains. In the same network layers and adjacent layers, C–H···O contact also accompanies the N⁺–H···O⁻ hydrogen bonds, all these lead the extended architecture to show a three-dimensional lamellar structure.

In 2, two parallel imidazolium cations and two antiparallel 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate anions formed 32-membered rings through hydrogen bonding interaction, these rings extended along the c axis direction to form one dimensional railway structure. Adjacent parallel railways connect further through C–H···O hydrogen bonds between the 2-CH of the imidazole ring and the NO₂ group O atoms. These weak interactions combined, the complex showed 3D layer structure.

In all cases, the side chain of the hsm group is gauche, allowing the formation of strong hydrogen bonds in the salt 1, and to chelate the metal center in complexes 2 and 3. The combination hsm/ox seems to favor the formation of 2D supramolecular structures (planes or wavy planes), through efficient networks of N–H···O hydrogen bonds.

Supramolecular Network via Hydrogen Bonding and π–π Stacking in 4,4′-Bipyridin-1-ium Perchlorate Dihydrate

Abstract The crystal structure of 4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium perchlorate dihydrate, [C₁₀H₉N₂](ClO₄) · 2H₂O, is determined by room temperature X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.122(3) ?, b = 9.726(3) ?, c = 17.648(6) ?, α = 78.181(4)°, β = 82.797(5)°, γ = 67.439(4)°, Z = 2, V = 1258.4(7) ?³. In the compound, monoprotonated 4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium cations are self-assembled into supramolecular chains along the a-axis through N–H···N hydrogen bonds in a head-to-tail fashion. The chains are stacked via π–π stacking interactions to create two-dimensional sheets. The interlayer space is occupied by the hydrogen-bonded water chains that are linked to the organic sheets via C–H···O interactions and the perchlorate anions that are linked to the water chains and the organic sheets via O–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds, respectively, thus generating a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

Structure of Methyl N-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-N′-cyano-carbamimidothioate and Methyl N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate

Abstract  

The title compounds, Methyl N-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, I, and Methyl N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, II, have been designed and synthesized for use as new potential organic molecular electronic materials. The crystal structure of I and II were determined with crystal data (I: Monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 4.746(2) ?, b = 5.737(3) ?, c = 17.399(7) ?, β = 91.667(7)o, R _all = 0.0703; II: Orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 18.209(8) ?, b = 11.463(5) ?, c = 7.539(3) ?, β = 90.00 o, R _all = 0.0481). N–H···N hydrogen bonds were responsible for the formation of one-dimensional zigzag molecular chains of I, and trifurcated hydrogen-bonded molecular chains were indicated in structure of II. C–H···π and C–H···N hydrogen bonds were found in both structures. All these types of interaction together form an extended three-dimensional network and stabilize the title crystals.     

Structures of Bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)alkyl Copper(II) Dichlorides: An Unusual Cocrystallization

Abstract  Two structures containing pseudo-tetrahedral Cu(II)N₂Cl₂ coordination complexes are reported. The first molecular structure (A) of the compound, 1,1′bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)propane copper(II) dichloride (triEtBBIM)Cu(II)Cl₂, 1, is reported. The complex crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1 with a = 8.616(3) ?, b = 9.302(3) ?, c = 14.314(4) ?, α = 85.613(6)°, β = 85.170(6)°, γ = 66.117(6)° and V = 1044.1(5) ?³ with Z = 2. The second structure (B) contains 1 and (3,3′bis(1-ethylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pentane) copper(II) dichloride (tetEtBBIM)Cu(II)Cl₂, 2, both of which, cocrystallize in an equal molar ratio with a nitromethane solvate molecule. The complex crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with a = 18.876(4) ?, b = 14.975(3) ?, c = 18.344(4) ?, β = 116.75(3)°, and V = 4630.3(16) ?³ with Z = 4. The cocrystallization of such discrete complexes has been coined a chemical Janus. Graphical Abstract  The title complexes contain pseudo-tetrahedral Cu(II)N₂Cl₂ coordination. One of the structures is the result of an unusual cocrystallization, in which two different discrete Cu(II) molecules cocrystallize in an equimolar ratio with a nitromethane solvate molecule.
