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.     

1,4‐Di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium trichromate

The title compound, (C₆H₁₄N₂)[Cr₃O₁₀], consists of a di­aza­bi­cyclo­[2.2.2]­octane‐1,4‐diium cation and a discrete trichromate anion linked by an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond. Three CrO₄ tetrahedra are joined via shared O atoms to form the trichromate anion. Supramolecular rings, which can be described by the graph‐set motif (26), are built via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and C—H⋯O interactions play lesser roles in forming the structure.     

Two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network in bis­[(ferrocenylmethyl)­dimethyl­ammonium] sulfate penta­hydrate

In the title compound, [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₈H₁₃N)]₂(SO₄)·5H₂O, the Fe—C bond lengths lie in the range 2.021 (3)–2.047 (2) Å. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations, sulfate anions and water mol­ecules into a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network, which stabilizes the crystal packing.     

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.     

2,2′‐Bipyridinium(1+) bromide monohydrate

In the crystal structure of 2,2′‐bipyridinium(1+) bromide monohydrate, C₁₀H₉N₂⁺·Br⁻·H₂O, the cation has a cisoid conformation with an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. The cation also forms an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to an adjacent water mol­ecule, which in turn forms O—H⋯Br⁻ hydrogen bonds to adjacent Br⁻ anions. In this way, a chain is formed extending along the b axis. Additional interactions (C—H⋯Br⁻ and π–π) serve to stabilize the structure further.     

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.     

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.     

Hydro­gen‐bonding patterns in 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methyl­pyrimidinium hydrogen sulfate

In the title compound, C₆H₁₀N₃⁺·HSO₄⁻, the asymmetric unit consists of a hydrogen sulfate anion and a 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methyl­pyrimidinium cation. The hydrogen sulfate anions self‐assemble through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming supramolecular chains along the b axis, while the organic cations form base pairs via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The amino­pyrimidinium cations join to the sulfate anions via a pair of hydrogen bonds donated from the pyrimidinium protonation site and from the exo amine group cis to the protonated site.     

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.     

Bis(μ‐acetato)(μ‐2,6‐bis­{[(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)amino]meth­yl}‐4‐methyl­phenolato)dinickel(II) hexa­fluoro­phosphate hemihydrate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni₂(C₂₅H₃₁N₄O₃)(C₂H₃O₂)₂]PF₆·0.5H₂O, consists of two dinuclear nickel cations, two hexa­fluoro­phosphate anions and one water mol­ecule of crystallization. Within each cation, the Ni atoms are bridged by two exogenous acetate groups and an endogenous cresol O atom of a phenolate‐based `end‐off' compartmental ligand that possesses two pendant chelating arms attached to the ortho positions of the phenol ring. Each Ni atom is six‐coordinate with a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The two symmetry‐independent cations are linked into a dimeric unit through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Additional O—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯O inter­molecular inter­actions link all of the units in the structure into a three‐dimensional framework.     

Tri­phenyl­phosphine oxide–1‐naphthoic acid (1/1)

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅OP·C₁₁H₈O₂, co‐crystallization of tri­phenyl­phosphine oxide with 1‐naphthoic acid yields a supramolecular structure held together by one O—H⋯O and three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.592 (2) Å] has little effect on the O=P bond distance.     

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.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis­(thio­semicarb­azido‐κ2N,S)­nickel(II) dimaleate dihydrate

In the title compound, [Ni(CH₅N₃S)₂(H₂O)₂](C₄H₃O₄)₂·2H₂O, the Ni atom lies on a center of symmetry and is coordinated by N and S atoms from two thio­semicarbazide ligands and the O atoms of two water mol­ecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the asymmetric unit, the three components are linked together by one O—H⋯O and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing is built from molecular ribbons parallel to the b direction, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and by one N—H⋯S and two N—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The ribbons are further connected into columns by N—H⋯O interactions and then into a three‐dimensional network by three O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

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.     

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.     

7,8‐Dihydr­oxy‐4‐propyl‐1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,10b‐octa­hydro­benzo[f]quinolinium bromide monohydrate,a dopamine agonist

In the crystal structure of the title dopamine­rgic compound, C₁₆H₂₄NO₂⁺·Br⁻·H₂O, protonation occurs at the piperidine N atom. The piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation and the cyclo­hexene ring adopts a half‐chair conformation; together with the planar benzene ring, this results in a relatively planar shape for the whole mol­ecule. Classical hydrogen bonds (N—H⋯Br, O—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O) produce an infinite three‐dimensional network. Hydrogen bonds between water ­mol­ecules and Br⁻ anions create centrosymmetric rings throughout the crystal structure. Structural comparison of the mol­ecule with the ergoline dopamine agonist pergolide shows that it is the hydrogen‐bond‐forming hydr­oxy or imino group that is necessary for dopamine­rgic activity, rather than the presence of a phenyl or a pyrrole ring per se.     

π‐Stacked hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid,and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of 2‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid

Molecules of 2‐(2‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₅, are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by a single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.623 (2) Å and O—H⋯O = 178°] and these dimers are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The isomeric compound 2‐(4‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid crystallizes in two polymorphic forms. In the orthorhombic form (space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z′ = 1, crystallized from ethanol), the mol­ecules are linked into sheets of R(22) rings by a combination of one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.96 Å, N⋯O = 2.833 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 171°] and one O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H⋯O = 173°]. In the monoclinic form (space group P2₁/n with Z′ = 2, crystallized from acetone), the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.09 and 2.16 Å, N⋯O = 2.873 (4) and 2.902 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 147 and 141°] and two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.84 and 1.83 Å, O⋯O = 2.664 (3) and 2.666 (3) Å, and O—H⋯O = 166 and 174°] into sheets of some complexity. These sheets are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.45 Å, C⋯O = 3.355 (4) Å and C—­H⋯O = 160°].     

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.     

A new tricarbonyl­rhenium(I) compound incorporating the tridentate ligand N,N‐bis­picol­yl‐2‐ethano­lamine

The title compound, {[N,N‐bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)­amino]­ethanol‐κ³N,N′,N′′}tricarbonyl­rhenium(I) bromide methanol solvate, [Re(C₁₄H₁₇N₃O)(CO)₃]Br·CH₄O, has been prepared in almost quantitative yield by reacting (NEt₄)₂[Re(CO)₃Br₃] with the ligand N,N‐bis­picol­yl‐2‐ethano­lamine in refluxing methanol. The X‐ray structure revealed that the Re(CO)₃N₃ coordination sphere is highly distorted from octa­hedral geometry and that the Re(CO)₃ core is facial. The coordinated ligand forms two five‐membered rings, with the pyridine rings in a butterfly formation. The OH group is not involved in metal coordination. The packing of the mol­ecule shows a network of classical O⋯H—O and Br⋯H—O, and non‐classical Br⋯H—C and O⋯H—C hydrogen bonds between the methanol solvate mol­ecules, the metal complex cations and the bromide anions.     

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.
