N‐(2,4‐Dimethoxy­benzyl­idene­amino)­guanidinium dihydrogenphosphate

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₅N₄O₂⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, there are two protonated amino­guanidinium cations and two dihydrogenphosphate anions. The positive charge on the protonated amidine group is delocalized over the three C—N bonds in a manner similar to that found in guanidinium salts. The amino­guanidinium cations are found to be the E‐isomer structures. Intra­molecular inter­actions of the N—H⋯N type are observed, leading to the formation of five‐membered rings. Extensive networks of O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the three‐dimensional network. In the crystal structure, π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings, with a distance of 3.778 (2) Å between the ring centroids, also affect the packing of the mol­ecules.     

Tetra­aqua­(7‐hydroxy‐5‐oxidoflavone‐6‐sulfonato‐κ2O4,O5)nickel(II) dimethyl­formamide solvate monohydrate

In the title compound, [Ni(C₁₅H₈O₇S)(H₂O)₄]·C₃H₇NO·H₂O, the Ni^II cation is chelated by a 7‐hydroxy‐5‐oxidoflavone‐6‐sulfonate ligand through one oxide and one carbonyl O atom, and the sixfold coordination is completed by four aqua ligands. Individual mol­ecules are linked into hydrogen‐bonded dimers by way of five pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers, in turn, determine a three‐dimensional supra­molecular arrangement through a variety of inter­dimeric inter­actions, such as O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and π–π stacking.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)­phenyl]­carbamate,ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]­carbamate and ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]­carbamate

In ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₄, all of the non‐H atoms lie on a mirror plane in the space group Pnma; the mol­ecules are linked into simple chains by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The mol­ecules of ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₂INO₄, are linked into sheets by a combination of O—H⋯I and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a dipolar I⋯O contact. Ethyl N‐­[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₂H₁₅NO₄, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P; pairs of mol­ecules are weakly linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and these aggregates are linked into chains by two independent aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π inter­actions in a laminar structure: benzene‐1,3‐dicarboxylic acid–4‐methyl­pyridine (1/2)

The title complex, C₈H₆O₄·2C₆H₇N, consists of two crystallographically independent 1:2 clusters of benzene‐1,3‐­dicarboxylic acid and 4‐methyl­pyridine. Each cluster, the components of which are linked by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, is almost planar by alignment of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Herring‐bone ribbons of clusters are formed by other C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and these ribbons are further packed to form a laminar structure by π–π inter­actions.     

3,5‐Bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐piperidone and 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxopiperidinium chloride: potential biophotonic materials

In the title compound 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐piperidone, C₂₂H₂₃NO₃, (I), the central heterocyclic ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, while in the related salt 3,5‐bis(4‐methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐1‐methyl‐4‐oxopiperidin­ium chloride, C₂₂H₂₄NO₃⁺·Cl⁻, (II), the ring exhibits a `sofa' conformation in which the N atom deviates from the planar fragment. The pendant benzene rings are twisted from the heterocyclic ring planes in both mol­ecules in the same direction, the range of dihedral angles between the ring planes being 24.5 (2)–32.7 (2)°. The dominant packing motif in (I) involves centrosymmetric dimers bound by weak intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In (II), cations and anions are linked by strong N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, while weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three‐dimensional framework.     

(2‐Hydroxy­ethyl)­hydrazinium(2+) dichloride

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₂H₁₀N₂O²⁺·2Cl⁻, is built up from one 2‐hydroxy­ethyl­hydrazinium(2+) cation and two Cl⁻ anions. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by O—H⋯Cl and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is stabilized by one N—H⋯O and three N—H⋯Cl inter­actions, and the three‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds stabilizes the crystal packing. All five hydrazinium H atoms are involved in hydrogen bonds to Cl⁻ anions. The Cl⋯H contact distances range from 2.122 (15) to 2.809 (14) Å.     

Hydrogen bonding in nitroaniline analogues: hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine and π‐stacked hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 4‐amino‐2,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine

In 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, the mol­ecules are linked by one N—H⋯N and one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to form sheets built from alternating R(8) and R(32) rings. In isomeric 4‐amino‐2,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in P, the two independent mol­ecules are linked into a dimer by two independent N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are linked into sheets by a combination of two‐centre C—H⋯O and three‐centre C—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bonds, and the sheets are further linked by two independent aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions to form a three‐dimensional structure.     

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.     

2,5‐Dicarboxy­anilinium chloride monohydrate

The title compound, C₈H₈NO₄⁺·Cl⁻·H₂O, is the chloro­hydrated form of 2‐amino­benzene‐1,4‐dicarboxylic acid, the basic crystal structure of which is still not known. Mol­ecules are linked by classical N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, N—H⋯Cl and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, mainly along the mol­ecular plane, into sheets built by unusual R₆⁴(26), R₆⁴(22) and R₄³(22) rings. The stacking between layers is stabilized by another N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond and by π–π inter­actions between aromatic rings facing each other.     

2‐Amino­pyridinium–fumarate–fumaric acid (2/1/1)

The title complex, 2C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₄H₂O₄²⁻·C₄H₄O₄, contains cyclic eight‐membered hydrogen‐bonded rings involving 2‐­aminopyridinium and fumarate ions. The fumaric acid mol­ecules and fumarate ions lie on inversion centers and are linked into zigzag chains by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dihedral angle between the pyridinium ring and the hydrogen‐bonded fumarate ion is 7.60 (4)°. The fumarate anion is linked to the pyridinium cations by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The heterocycle is fully protonated, thus enabling amine–imine tautomerization.     

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.     

Hydro­gen bonding in 1‐carbamoyl­guanidinium methyl­phospho­nate monohydrate

The title compound, C₂H₇N₄O⁺·CH₄O₃P⁻·H₂O, crystallized with one carbamoyl­guanidinium cation, one methyl­phos­phonate anion and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. All H atoms of the carbamoyl­guanidinium ion are involved in a hydrogen‐bonded network. The CH₃PO₂(OH) anions, together with the water mol­ecules, build O—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded ribbons around a 2₁ screw axis parallel to the b axis. Neighbouring ribbons are not directly connected via hydrogen bonding. The carbamoyl­guanidinium cations are linked to these ribbons by N—H⋯O bridges and build a slightly buckled layer structure, the interlayer distance being b/2.     

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.
