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.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

N‐Benzyl­tetra­hydro­pyrido‐anellated thio­phene derivatives: new anti­cholinesterases

The title compounds, tert‐butyl 6‐benzyl‐2‐(3,3‐diethyl­ureido)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro­thieno[2,3‐c]pyridine‐3‐carboxyl­ate, C₂₄H₃₃N₃O₃S, (I), 7‐benzyl‐2‐diethyl­amino‐5,6,7,8‐tetra­hydro‐3‐oxa‐9‐thia‐1,7‐diaza­fluoren‐4‐one, C₂₀H₂₃N₃O₂S, (II), and N‐(7‐benzyl‐4‐oxo‐5,6,7,8‐tetra­hydro‐4H‐3,9‐dithia‐1,7‐diaza­fluoren‐2‐yl)benzamide, C₂₃H₁₉N₃O₂S₂, (III), form monoclinic crystal systems. In (I) and (II), the mol­ecules are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds, whereas in (III) stronger inter­molecular N—H⋯O=C inter­actions are observed. The conformation of (I) is further stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, which effects the planarity of the ureido­thio­phene­carboxyl­ate moiety.     

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.     

Bis(3‐amino­pyridine‐κN)(4,4′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine‐κ2N,N′)(per­chlorato‐κO)copper(II) per­chlorate

The title compound, [Cu(ClO₄)(C₅H₆N₂)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)]ClO₄, was prepared by in situ partial ligand substitution between 3‐amino­pyridine and 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine at room temperature. The central copper(II) ion is five‐coordinated by one bidentate 4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridine mol­ecule, two monodentate pyridine‐coordinated 3‐amino­pyridine mol­ecules and one apical O atom from the perchlorate counter‐ion. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions form a hydrogen‐bond‐sustained network.     

Supra­molecular hydrogen‐bonding networks in bis­(adeninium) phthalate phthalic acid 1.45‐hydrate

In the title compound, 2C₅H₆N₅⁺·C₈H₄O₄²⁻·C₈H₆O₄·1.45H₂O, the asymmetric unit comprises two adeninium cations, two half phthalate anions with crystallographic C₂ symmetry, one neutral phthalic acid mol­ecule, and one fully occupied and one partially occupied site (0.45) for water mol­ecules. The adeninium cations form N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the phthalate anions. The cations also form infinite one‐dimensional polymeric ribbons via N—H⋯N inter­actions. In the crystal packing, hydrogen‐bonded columns of cations, anions and phthalate anions extend parallel to the c axis. The water mol­ecules crosslink adjacent columns into hydrogen‐bonded layers.     

{2,2′‐[1,1′‐(4‐Aza­heptane‐1,7‐diyl­dinitrilo)diethyl­idyne]­diphenolato}­copper(II)

The quinquedentate ligand 2,2′‐[1,1′‐(4‐aza­heptane‐1,7‐diyl­dinitrilo)diethyl­idyne]diphenol in the title compound, [Cu(C₂₂H₂₇N₃O₂)], furnishes an N₃O₂ donor set, which results in a distorted square‐pyramidal coordination; the two O and two imine N atoms lie in the basal plane, while the secondary amine N atom of the ligand occupies the axial position. The axial Cu—N bond is 0.33 Å longer than the average of the equatorial bonds, and the O atoms are trans. The symmetry of the mol­ecule is lowered by the twist–boat and chair conformations adopted by the two CuNN chelate rings. The complex contains two intra­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions, and two mol­ecules of the complex are linked into a dimer by means of moderate N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Spectroscopic evidence supports the presence of hydrogen bonds.     

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.     

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.     

Dichloro­{2‐[2‐(dimethyl­ammonio)­ethyl­imino­meth­yl]‐4‐nitro­phenolato}­zinc(II) in unsolvated and hemihydrate forms

The two title complexes, [ZnCl₂(C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₃)], (I), and [ZnCl₂(C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₃)]·0.5H₂O, (II), are mononuclear zinc(II) compounds. In both structures, the Zn^II atom is four‐coordinated in a tetra­hedral configuration by one imine N atom and one phenolate O atom of a Schiff base, and by two Cl atoms. The structure of each of the two zinc(II) complex molecules of (II) is similar to that of (I). In (I), the mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional framework. In (II), the solvent water mol­ecules are linked to the zinc(II) moieties through inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules in (II) are further linked via other inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional framework.     

catena‐Poly[[[triaqua­cobalt(II)]‐μ‐2,6‐dioxo‐1,2,3,6‐tetra­hydro­pyrimidine‐4‐carboxyl­ato(2–)] 1.72‐hydrate]

The Co^II ion in the title complex {[Co(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(H₂O)₃]·1.72H₂O}_n, has a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry comprised of three water ligands, one deprotonated pyrimidine N atom and an adjacent carboxyl­ate O atom of one orotate ligand. The sixth coordination site is occupied by an exocyclic O atom from a neighbouring orotate moiety, and through this inter­action a helicoidal chain is formed. The mol­ecules are linked by intra­molecular O_water—H⋯O and inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O_water—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional network.     

Two polymorphic forms of N‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐5‐[(4‐chlorophenyl)aminomethyl]‐6‐methyl‐2‐phenyl­pyrimidin‐4‐amine

Two polymorphic forms of the title compound, C₂₄H₂₀Cl₂N₄, were obtained and characterized using X‐ray crystal structure analysis. Colourless crystals of polymorph (Ia) were obtained from the oily mother residue. Recrystallization of polymorph (Ia) from an acetone–methanol mixture resulted in pale‐yellow crystals of polymorph (Ib). The major feature distinguishing the two polymorphic forms is their inter­action modes, and hence their packing arrangements. In the crystal structure of polymorph (Ia), there are N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and also aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between mol­ecules. The mol­ecules of polymorph (Ib) are linked by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds only.     

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.     

3,4‐Di‐2‐pyridyl‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole and its perchlorate salt

In 3,4‐di‐2‐pyridyl‐1,2,5‐oxadiazole (dpo), C₁₂H₈N₄O, each mol­ecule resides on a twofold axis and inter­acts with eight neighbours via four C—H⋯N and four C—H⋯O inter­actions to generate a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded architecture. In the perchlorate analogue, 2‐[3‐(2‐pyrid­yl)‐1,2,5‐oxadiazol‐4‐yl]pyridinium perchlorate, C₁₂H₉N₄O⁺·ClO₄⁻ or [Hdpo]ClO₄, the [Hdpo]⁺ cation is bisected by a crystallographic mirror plane, and the additional H atom in the cation is shared by the two pyridyl N atoms to form a symmetrical intra­molecular N⋯H⋯N hydrogen bond. The cations and perchlorate anions are linked through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions to form one‐dimensional tubes along the b‐axis direction.     

(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.     

The twofold inter­penetrated three‐connected three‐dimensional (10,3)‐net in 2‐amino­ethene‐1,1,2‐tricarbonitrile

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₅H₂N₄, each mol­ecule is linked by N—H⋯N[triple‐bond]C hydrogen bonds to four other mol­ecules, thus forming a network that can be described as a twofold inter­penetrated three‐connected three‐dimensional (10,3)‐net. The inter­penetrated nets are related by (010) translation. If only inter­molecular hydrogen bonds are taken into account, these nets can be considered as independent. However, the inter­actions between the cyano groups from different nets indicate mutual assistance of the two nets during their formation.     

The perchlorate salt of the novel diprotonated dinucleating ligand 1,3‐bis­{[2‐(2‐pyridinio)eth­yl][2‐(2‐pyrid­yl)eth­yl]amino}benzene

In the title salt, 1,3‐bis­{[2‐(2‐pyridinio)eth­yl][2‐(2‐pyrid­yl)ethyl]amino}benzene diperchlorate dihydrate, C₃₄H₃₈N₆²⁺·2ClO₄⁻·2H₂O, the cation contains two ethyl­pyrid­yl and two ethyl­pyridinium pendant pairs anchored to the two N atoms of 1,3‐phenyl­enediamine. The pyrid­yl and pyridinium N atoms are flanked by a mol­ecule of water through strong hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions [N—H⋯O = 2.762 (6) and 2.758 (6) Å, and O—H⋯N = 2.834 (6) and 2.839 (6) Å]. The water mol­ecules have weak hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions with the perchlorate anions as well. One of the perchlorate anions is severely disordered.     

Three structures containing (E)‐1,2‐bis­(benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene groups

Two of the title compounds, namely (E)‐1,2‐bis­(1‐methyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene, C₁₈H₁₆N₄, (Ib), and (E)‐1,2‐bis­(1‐ethyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene, C₂₀H₂₀N₄, (Ic), consist of centrosymmetric trans‐bis­(1‐alkyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)ethene mol­ecules, while 3‐eth­yl‐2‐[(E)‐2‐(1‐ethyl­benzimidazol‐2‐yl)­ethen­yl]benzimidazol‐1‐ium perchlorate, C₂₀H₂₁N₄⁺·ClO₄⁻, (II), contains the monoprotonated analogue of compound (Ic). In the three structures, the benzimidazole and benzimidazolium moieties are essentially planar; the geometric parameters for the ethene linkages and their bonds to the aromatic groups are consistent with double and single bonds, respectively, implying little, if any, conjugation of the central C=C bonds with the nitro­gen‐containing rings. The C—N bond lengths in the N=C—N part of the benzimidazole groups differ and are consistent with localized imine C=N and amine C—N linkages in (Ib) and (Ic); in contrast, the corresponding distances in the benzimidazolium cation are equal in (II), consistent with electron delocalization resulting from protonation of the amine N atom. Crystals of (Ib) and (Ic) contain columns of parallel mol­ecules, which are linked by edge‐over‐edge C—H⋯π overlap. The columns are linked to one another by C—H⋯π inter­actions and, in the case of (Ib), C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Crystals of (II) contain layers of monocations linked by π–π inter­actions and separated by both perchlorate anions and the protruding eth­yl groups; the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
