1‐((E)‐{(1R,2R)‐2‐[(E)‐(2‐Hydr­oxy‐1‐naphth­yl)methyl­eneamino]cyclo­hexyl}iminiometh­yl)naphthalen‐2‐olate: a Schiff base compound having both OH and NH character

The title Schiff base compound, C₂₈H₂₆N₂O₂, possesses both OH and NH tautomeric character in its mol­ecular structure. While the OH side of the compound is described as an inter­mediate state, its NH side adopts a predominantly zwitterionic form. The mol­ecular structure of the compound is stabilized by both N⁺—H⋯O⁻ and O—H⋯N intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. There are two weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds leading to polymeric chains of topology C(5) and C(13) running along the b axis of the unit cell. In addition, inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions serve to stabilize the extended structure.     

2‐(4‐Hydroxy­phenyl)‐4,4‐dimethyl‐2‐oxazoline: X‐ray and density functional theory study

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₃NO₂, there are strong inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds which, together with weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, lead to the formation of infinite chains of mol­ecules, held together by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A theoretical investigation of the hydrogen bonding, based on density functional theory (DFT) employing periodic boundary conditions, is in agreement with the experimental data. The cluster approach shows that the influence of the crystal field and of hydrogen‐bond formation are responsible for the deformation of the 2‐oxazoline ring, which is not planar and adopts a ⁴T₃ (^C3T_C2) conformation.     

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.     

3,3′‐Dihydr­oxy‐5,5,5′,5′‐tetra­methyl‐2,2′‐thio­dicyclo­hex‐2‐en‐1‐one

Mol­ecules of the title compound, C₁₆H₂₂O₄S, have twofold crystallographic symmetry and are stabilized by strong intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and very weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers normal to the c axis. The mol­ecular structure is compared with those of the Se‐ and CH₂‐bridged analogues.     

4‐Amino‐5‐(2‐hydroxy‐4,4‐di­methyl‐6‐oxo­cyclo­hexenyl­methyl)‐1‐methyl‐2‐(methyl­sulfanyl)­pyrimidin‐6(1H)‐one: hydrogen‐bonded chains are π‐stacked in pairs

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₅H₂₁N₃O₃S, have a markedly polarized electronic structure; the carbocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation and the overall molecular conformation appears to be controlled by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, one each of the O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O types. The mol­ecules are linked into C(6) chains by an intermol­ecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond, and pairs of these hydrogen‐bonded chains are linked by a π–π stacking interaction.     

2‐(2‐Oxazolin‐2‐yl)benzene‐1,4‐diol: X‐ray and density functional theory studies

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₉H₉NO₃, there are strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds which, together with weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, lead to the formation of infinite chains of mol­ecules. The calculated inter­molecular hydrogen‐bond energies are −11.3 and −2.7 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively, showing the dominant role of the O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. A natural bond orbital analysis revealed the electron contribution of the lone pairs of the oxazoline N and O atoms, and of the two hydr­oxy O atoms, to the order of the relevant bonds.     

catena‐Poly[[{4‐bromo‐2‐[2‐(di­methyl­amino)­ethyl­imino­meth­yl]­phenolato}­copper(II)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato]

The title complex, [Cu(C₁₁H₁₄BrN₂O)(NCS)]_n, is an inter­esting thio­cyanate‐bridged polynuclear copper(II) compound, which crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Each Cu^II atom is five‐coordinate in a square‐pyramidal configuration, with one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and one terminal N atom of a bridging thio­cyanate ligand defining the basal plane, and one terminal S atom of another bridging thio­cyanate ligand occupying the apical position. The {4‐bromo‐2‐[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]phenolato}copper(II) units are linked by the bridging thio­cyanate ligands, forming polymeric chains running along the a axis. There are weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds between the chains in the crystal structure.     

(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

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.     

3,3a‐Dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]­chromen‐1(2H)‐ones from the reaction of salicylaldehyde and 2‐cyclo­penten‐1‐one

The two title chromene compounds, 3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₆H₁₂O₂, (I), and 2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzyl­idene)‐3,3a‐dihydrocyclo­penta­[b]chromen‐1(2H)‐one, C₁₉H₁₄O₃, (II), have been determined in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n. Compound (I) is mainly stabilized by C—H⋯π inter­actions. Compound (II) is linked into infinite one‐dimensional chains with a C(3) motif via inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter­molecular C—H⋯π and π–­π inter­actions also play key roles in stabilizing the crystal packing. Two intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with S(5) motifs were detected in (II).     

4‐(4‐Chloro­benzyl­ideneamino)‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3(2H)‐one and 4‐(2‐chloro­benzyl­idene­amino)‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3(2H)‐one

The two title compounds, both with formula C₁₈H₁₆ClN₃O, are structurally similar Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 4‐chloro­benzaldehyde or 2‐chloro­benzaldehyde with 4‐amino­anti­pyrine in methanol solution. As expected, both compounds adopt trans configurations about the central C=N bonds. In the crystal structure of the 4‐chloro analogue, mol­ecules are linked through weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis. In the crystal structure of the 2‐chloro analogue, mol­ecules are linked through weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane.     

(R)‐N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐Hydroxy‐5‐methyl­phenyl)‐2‐phenyl­ethyl]‐2‐methyl‐1‐phenyl­propyl­ammonium chloride

In the title compound, C₂₅H₃₀NO⁺·Cl⁻, the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of the new stereogenic centre (the C atom adjacent to the N atom on the phenol side) is determined to have an R configuration.     

Benzoin 4‐ethyl­thio­semicarbazone

In the title compound, 2‐hydr­oxy‐1,2‐diphenyl­ethanone 4‐ethyl­thio­semicarbazone, C₁₇H₁₉N₃OS, the thio­semi­carbazone moiety is planar and has an E configuration. The planar phenyl rings make dihedral angles of 82.34 (8) and 8.07 (17)° with the plane of the thio­semicarbazone moiety. The crystal structure contains two intra­molecular (N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N) and one inter­molecular inter­action (O—H⋯S), as well as two C—H⋯π(benzene) inter­actions. Mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the a axis. Mol­ecules in each column are connected to each other by means of linear O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions. In addition, there are also C—H⋯π(benzene) inter­actions between the columns.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

1‐(1‐Amino‐4‐bromo‐9,10‐dioxo‐9,10‐dihydro­anthracen‐2‐ylcarbon­yl)‐1,3‐dicyclo­hexyl­urea

In the title compound, C₂₈H₃₀BrN₃O₄, the mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯Br and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into one‐dimensional chains, which are arranged into a three‐dimensional network through a combination of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and two kinds of π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings of the anthraquinone units.     

(2S,RS)‐6‐Phenyl‐1‐(p‐tolyl­sulfinyl)­hexa‐3(E),5(E)‐dien‐2‐ol

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀O₂S, corresponds to a chiral sulfinyldienol with two stereogenic centres, viz. the C atom susbtituted by the hydr­oxy group and the sulfinyl S atom. The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.     

1‐(4,6‐Diethoxy­pyrimidin‐2‐yl)‐2‐thioxo‐2,3‐dihydro­pyrido[2,3‐d]pyrimidin‐4(1H)‐one

In the title compound, C₁₅H₁₅N₅O₃S, two parallel inter­molecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming an eight‐membered ring, link two mol­ecules into a dimer unit; these dimer units linked into a chain of edge‐fused rings by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

2,6‐Di­methyl‐4‐(phenyl­diazenyl)­phenol

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₄N₂O, determined at 293 K, shows that the mol­ecule is approximately planar in the solid state and that the aromatic rings have a trans configuration with respect to the azo double bond, as found for other diazene derivatives. The packing can be described as a polymeric arrangement of mol­ecules linked through O—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and close contacts. These intermolecular interactions result in the formation of infinite chains parallel to the b axis.
