Channel‐forming solvate crystals and isostructural solvent‐free powder of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone

Crystals of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone, (I), grown from a variety of solvents, are invariably trigonal (space group R); these are 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone acetone 0.1667‐solvate, C₆H₇NO₂·0.1667C₃H₆O, (Ia), and 6‐methyl‐5‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridone propan‐2‐ol 0.1667‐solvate, C₆H₇NO₂·0.1667C₃H₈O, (Ib), and the forms from methanol, (Ic), water, (Id), benzonitrile, (Ie), and benzyl alcohol, (If). They incorporate channels running the length of the c axis that contain extensively disordered solvent molecules. A solvent‐free sublimed powder of 5‐hydroxy‐6‐methyl‐2‐pyridone microcrystals is essentially isostructural. Inversion‐related host molecules interact via pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form R₂²(8) dimers. Six of these dimers form large R₁₂⁶(42) puckered rings, in which the O atom of each N—H...O hydrogen bond is also the acceptor in an O—H...O hydrogen bond that involves the 5‐hydroxy group. The large R₁₂⁶(42) rings straddle the axes and form stacked columns viaπ–π interactions between inversion‐related molecules of (I) [mean interplanar spacing = 3.254 Å and ring centroid–centroid distance = 3.688 (2) Å]. The channels are lined by methyl groups, which all point inwards to the centre of the channels.     

Polymorphism in 2‐(4‐hydroxy‐2,6‐dimethylanilino)‐5,6‐dihydro‐4H‐1,3‐thiazin‐3‐ium chloride

Details of the structures of two conformational polymorphs of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₇N₂OS⁺·Cl⁻, are reported. In form (I) (space group P), the two N—H groups of the cation are in a trans conformation, while in form (II) (space group P2₁/c), they are in a cis arrangement. This results in different packing and hydrogen‐bond arrangements in the two forms, both of which have extended chains lying along the a direction. In form (I), these chains are composed of centrosymmetric R₄²(18) (N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings and R₂²(18) (N—H...O) hydrogen‐bonded rings. In form (II), the chains are formed by centrosymmetric R₄²(18) (N—H...Cl and O—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings and by R₄²(12) (N—H...Cl) hydrogen‐bonded rings.     

Similarities and differences in the structures of 5‐bromo‐6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethylchroman‐2‐one and 6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethyl‐5‐nitrochroman‐2‐one

The title compounds, C₁₁H₁₁BrO₃, (I), and C₁₁H₁₁NO₅, (II), respectively, are derivatives of 6‐hydroxy‐5,7,8‐trimethylchroman‐2‐one substituted at the 5‐position by a Br atom in (I) and by a nitro group in (II). The pyranone rings in both molecules adopt half‐chair conformations, and intramolecular O—H...Br [in (I)] and O—H...O_nitro [in (II)] hydrogen bonds affect the dispositions of the hydroxy groups. Classical intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are found in both molecules but play quite dissimilar roles in the crystal structures. In (I), O—H...O hydrogen bonds form zigzag C(9) chains of molecules along the a axis. Because of the tetragonal symmetry, similar chains also form along b. In (II), however, similar contacts involving an O atom of the nitro group form inversion dimers and generate R₂²(12) rings. These also result in a close intermolecular O...O contact of 2.686 (4) Å. For (I), four additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds combine with π–π stacking interactions between the benzene rings to build an extensive three‐dimensional network with molecules stacked along the c axis. The packing in (II) is much simpler and centres on the inversion dimers formed through O—H...O contacts. These dimers are stacked through additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and further weak C—H...O interactions generate a three‐dimensional network of dimer stacks.     

Two polymorphs,with Z′ = 1 and 2, of 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐morpholino­pyrimidine in P21/c,and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐piperidino­pyrimidine,which is isomorphous and almost isostructural with the Z′ = 2 polymorph

Crystallization of 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐morpholino­pyrimidine, C₈H₁₁ClN₄O, (I), yields two polymorphs, both with space group P2₁/c, having Z′ = 1 (from diethyl ether solution) and Z′ = 2 (from di­chloro­methane solution), denoted (Ia) and (Ib), respectively. In polymorph (Ia), the mol­ecules are linked by an N—H⋯O and an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond into sheets built from alternating R(8) and R(40) rings. In polymorph (Ib), one mol­ecule acts as a triple acceptor of hydrogen bonds and the other acts as a single acceptor; one N—H⋯O and three N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules in a complex chain containing two types of R(8) and one type of R(18) ring. 2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐piperidino­pyrimidine, C₉H₁₃ClN₄, (II), which is isomorphous with polymorph (Ib), also has Z′ = 2 in P2₁/c, and the mol­ecules are linked by three N—­H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a centrosymmetric four‐mol­ecule aggregate containing three R(8) rings.     

2‐Ethyl‐1‐[5‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrazol‐3‐yl]‐3‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)isothiourea: molecular ribbons containing three types of hydrogen‐bonded ring

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈N₄OS₂, was prepared by reaction of S,S‐diethyl 2‐thenoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5‐amino‐3‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole using microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. In the molecule, the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.814 (4) and 0.186 (4), and the bonded distances provide evidence for polarization in the acylthiourea fragment and for aromatic type delocalization in the pyrazole ring. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is present, forming an S(6) motif, and molecules are linked by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon in which centrosymmetric R₂²(4) rings, built from N—H...O hydrogen bonds and flanked by inversion‐related pairs of S(6) rings, alternate with centrosymmetric R₂²(6) rings built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds.     

Two polymorphs and the diethylammonium salt of the barbiturate eldoral

Polymorph (Ia) of eldoral [5‐ethyl‐5‐(piperidin‐1‐yl)barbituric acid or 5‐ethyl‐5‐(piperidin‐1‐yl)‐1,3‐diazinane‐2,4,6‐trione], C₁₁H₁₇N₃O₃, displays a hydrogen‐bonded layer structure parallel to (100). The piperidine N atom and the barbiturate carbonyl group in the 2‐position are utilized in N—H...N and N—H...O=C hydrogen bonds, respectively. The structure of polymorph (Ib) contains pseudosymmetry elements. The two independent molecules of (Ib) are connected via N—H...O=C(4/6‐position) and N—H...N(piperidine) hydrogen bonds to give a chain structure in the [100] direction. The hydrogen‐bonded layers, parallel to (010), formed in the salt diethylammonium 5‐ethyl‐5‐(piperidin‐1‐yl)barbiturate [or diethylammonium 5‐ethyl‐2,4,6‐trioxo‐5‐(piperidin‐1‐yl)‐1,3‐diazinan‐1‐ide], C₄H₁₂N⁺·C₁₁H₁₆N₃O₃⁻, (II), closely resemble the corresponding hydrogen‐bonded structure in polymorph (Ia). Like many other 5,5‐disubstituted derivatives of barbituric acid, polymorphs (Ia) and (Ib) contain the R₂²(8) N—H...O=C hydrogen‐bond motif. However, the overall hydrogen‐bonded chain and layer structures of (Ia) and (Ib) are unique because of the involvement of the hydrogen‐bond acceptor function in the piperidine group.     

Channel‐forming solvates of 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine and its solvent‐free tautomer 6‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridone

On crystallization from CHCl₃, CCl₄, CH₂ClCH₂Cl and CHCl₂CHCl₂, 6‐chloro‐5‐hydroxy‐2‐pyridone, C₅H₄ClNO₂, (I), undergoes a tautomeric rearrangement to 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine, (II). The resulting crystals, viz. 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine chloroform 0.125‐solvate, C₅H₄ClNO₂·0.125CHCl₃, (IIa), 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine carbon tetrachloride 0.125‐solvate, C₅H₄ClNO₂.·0.125CCl₄, (IIb), 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine 1,2‐dichloroethane solvate, C₅H₄ClNO₂·C₂H₄Cl₂, (IIc), and 6‐chloro‐2,5‐dihydroxypyridine 1,1,2,2‐tetrachloroethane solvate, C₅H₄ClNO₂·C₂H₂Cl₄, (IId), have I4₁/a symmetry, and incorporate extensively disordered solvent in channels that run the length of the c axis. Upon gentle heating to 378 K in vacuo, these crystals sublime to form solvent‐free crystals with P2₁/n symmetry that are exclusively the pyridone tautomer, (I). In these sublimed pyridone crystals, inversion‐related molecules form R²₂(8) dimers via pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into R⁴₆(28) motifs, which join to form pleated sheets that stack along the a axis. In the channel‐containing pyridine solvate crystals, viz. (IIa)–(IId), two independent host molecules form an R²₂(8) dimer via a pair of O—H...N hydrogen bonds. One molecule is further linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds to two 4₁ screw‐related equivalents to form a helical motif parallel to the c axis. The other independent molecule is O—H...O hydrogen bonded to two related equivalents to form tetrameric R⁴₄(28) rings. The dimers are π–π stacked with inversion‐related dimers, which in turn stack the R⁴₄(28) rings along c to form continuous solvent‐accessible channels. CHCl₃, CCl₄, CH₂ClCH₂Cl and CHCl₂CHCl₂ solvent molecules are able to occupy these channels but are disordered by virtue of the site symmetry within the channels.     

2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(2‐methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[(2‐methoxyphenyl)methylamino]pyrimidine are isostructural and form hydrogen‐bonded sheets of R22(8) and R66(32) rings

2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[methyl(2‐methylphenyl)amino]pyrimidine, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O, (I), and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐5‐formyl‐6‐[(2‐methoxyphenyl)methylamino]pyrimidine, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O₂, (II), are isostructural and essentially isomorphous. Although the pyrimidine rings in each compound are planar, the ring‐substituent atoms show significant displacements from this plane, and the bond distances provide evidence for polarization of the electronic structures. In each compound, a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets built from centrosymmetric R₂²(8) and R₆⁶(32) rings. The significance of this study lies in its observation of the isostructural nature of (I) and (II), and in the comparison of their crystal and molecular structures with those of analogous compounds.     

trans‐Diaquabis(3‐hydroxybenzoato‐κO1)bis(nicotinamide‐κN1)copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], is a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular complex. The Cu^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridine N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₂²(4), R₂²(8) and R₂²(15) rings which lead to one‐dimensional polymeric chains. An extensive two‐dimensional network of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

Diaquabis(4‐fluorobenzoato‐κO)bis(nicotinamide‐κN)cobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₄FO₂)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], is a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular complex. The Co^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridyl N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₃²(6), R₂²(12) and R₂²(16) rings, which lead to two‐dimensional chains. An extensive three‐dimensional network of C—H...F, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.     

Two closely related,and unexpected,quinolinone derivatives: a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework structure and a hydrogen‐bonded molecular ribbon of R22(18) and R44(24) rings

1,5‐Bis(4‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroquinolin‐3‐yl)pentane‐1,5‐dione, (Ia), and 1,5‐bis(2‐chlorophenyl)‐3‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroquinolin‐3‐yl)pentane‐1,5‐dione, (Ib), crystallize as an 84:16 mixture, 0.84C₂₆H₁₉Cl₂NO₃·0.16C₂₆H₁₉Cl₂NO₃, in the space group I4₁/a, where the molecules of the two isomers occupy very similar sites in the unit cell. A combination of one N—H...O hydrogen bond and one C—H...O hydrogen bond links the molecules, regardless of isomeric form, into a single three‐dimensional framework structure. The molecules of (9RS,10RS)‐8,9‐bis(4‐chlorobenzyl)‐10‐(2‐oxo‐1,2‐dihydroquinolin‐3‐yl)‐5,6,9,10‐tetrahydrophenanthridine, C₃₆H₂₂Cl₂N₂O₄, (II), are linked by two hydrogen bonds, one each of the N—H...O and C—H...O types, into a molecular ribbon in which centrosymmetric rings of R₂²(18) and R₄⁴(24) types alternate. The hydrogen‐bonded ribbons enclose channels, which contain highly disordered solvent molecules.     

Hydrogen‐bonded ribbons in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile

The pyrimidine rings in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate, C₁₄H₂₀N₆O₂, (I), and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile, C₁₈H₂₃N₇, (II), which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group, are both nonplanar with boat conformations. The molecules of (I) are linked by a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₄⁴(20) rings, while the two independent molecules in (II) are linked by four N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₂²(20) rings. This study illustrates both the readiness with which highly‐substituted pyrimidine rings can be distorted from planarity and the significant differences between the supramolecular aggregation in two rather similar compounds.     

δ‐Sulfanilamide

The δ polymorph of sulfanilamide (or 4‐aminobenzenesulfonamide), C₆H₈N₂O₂S, displays an overall three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network that is dominated by a two‐dimensional substructure with R²₂(8) rings; these result from dimeric N—H...O interactions between adjacent sulfonamide groups. This study shows how the polymorphism of sulfanilamide is linked to its versatile hydrogen‐bonding capabilities.     

Hydrogen bonding in 4‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine and two hydrohalide salts

The structures of 4‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine [C₆H₇N₃O₂, (I)], 2‐amino‐5‐nitroanilinium chloride [C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·Cl⁻, (II)] and 2‐amino‐5‐nitroanilinium bromide monohydrate [C₆H₈N₃O₂⁺·Br⁻·H₂O, (III)] are reported and their hydrogen‐bonded structures described. The amine group para to the nitro group in (I) adopts an approximately planar geometry, whereas the meta amine group is decidedly pyramidal. In the hydrogen halide salts (II) and (III), the amine group meta to the nitro group is protonated. Compound (I) displays a pleated‐sheet hydrogen‐bonded two‐dimensional structure with R₂²(14) and R₄⁴(20) rings. The sheets are joined by additional hydrogen bonds, resulting in a three‐dimensional extended structure. Hydrohalide salt (II) has two formula units in the asymmetric unit that are related by a pseudo‐inversion center. The dominant hydrogen‐bonding interactions involve the chloride ion and result in R₄²(8) rings linked to form a ladder‐chain structure. The chains are joined by N—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form sheets parallel to (010). In hydrated hydrohalide salt (III), bromide ions are hydrogen bonded to amine and ammonium groups to form R₄²(8) rings. The water behaves as a double donor/single acceptor and, along with the bromide anions, forms hydrogen bonds involving the nitro, amine, and ammonium groups. The result is sheets parallel to (001) composed of alternating R₅⁵(15) and R₆⁴(24) rings. Ammonium N—H...Br interactions join the sheets to form a three‐dimensional extended structure. Energy‐minimized structures obtained using DFT and MP2 calculations are consistent with the solid‐state structures. Consistent with (II) and (III), calculations show that protonation of the amine group meta to the nitro group results in a structure that is about 1.5 kJ mol⁻¹ more stable than that obtained by protonation of the para‐amine group. DFT calculations on single molecules and hydrogen‐bonded pairs of molecules based on structural results obtained for (I) and for 3‐nitrobenzene‐1,2‐diamine, (IV) [Betz & Gerber (2011). Acta Cryst. E 67 , o1359] were used to estimate the strength of the N—H...O(nitro) interactions for three observed motifs. The hydrogen‐bonding interaction between the pairs of molecules examined was found to correspond to 20–30 kJ mol⁻¹.     

2‐Ammonio‐5‐chloro‐4‐methylbenzenesulfonate,its 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone and dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvates and a corrected structure of 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)di(4,5‐dihydroimidazolium) bis(4‐aminobenzenesulfonate) dihydrate

2‐Ammonio‐5‐chloro‐4‐methylbenzenesulfonate, C₇H₈ClNO₃S, (Ia), is an intermediate in the synthesis of lake red azo pigments. The present structure determination from single‐crystal data confirms the results of a previous powder diffraction determination [Bekö, Thoms, Brüning, Alig, van de Streek, Lakatos, Glaubitz & Schmidt (2010). Z. Kristallogr. 225 , 382–387]. The zwitterionic tautomeric form is confirmed. During a polymorph screening, two additional pseudopolymorphs were obtained, viz. 2‐ammonio‐5‐chloro‐4‐methylbenzenesulfonate 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone monosolvate, C₇H₈ClNO₃S·C₅H₉NO, (Ib), and 2‐ammonio‐5‐chloro‐4‐methylbenzenesulfonate dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate, C₇H₈ClNO₃S·C₂H₆OS, (Ic). The molecules of (Ib) have crystallographic m symmetry. The 1‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone solvent molecule has an envelope conformation and is disordered around the mirror plane. The structure shows hydrogen‐bonded ladders of molecules [graph‐set notation C₂²(6)R₂²(12)] in the [010] direction. The benzene groups of adjacent ladders are also stacked in this direction. A different type of hydrogen‐bonded ladder [graph‐set notation C(6)R₂²(4)R₄⁴(12)] occurs in (Ic). In (Ia), (Ib) and (Ic), the molecules correspond to the zwitterionic tautomer. The structure of the cocrystal of 4‐aminobenzenesulfonic acid with 1,4‐bis(4,5‐dihydroimidazol‐2‐yl)benzene [Shang, Ren, Wang, Lu & Yang (2009). Acta Cryst. E 65 , o2221–o2222] is corrected; it actually contains 4‐aminobenzenesulfonate anions and 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)di(dihydroimidazolium) dications, i.e. 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)di(4,5‐dihydroimidazolium) bis(4‐aminobenzenesulfonate) dihydrate, C₁₂H₁₆N₄²⁺·2C₆H₆NO₃S⁻·2H₂O. Hence, all known structures of aminobenzenesulfonic acid complexes contain ionic or zwitterionic molecules; there is no known structure with a neutral aminobenzenesulfonic acid molecule.     

trans‐Diaquabis(nicotinamide‐κN)bis(salicylato‐κO)cobalt(II)

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular structure. The Co^II ion is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridyl N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₂²(8), R₂²(12) and R₂²(14) rings, which lead to two‐dimensional chains. An extensive three‐dimensional supramolecular network of C—H...O, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions is responsible for crystal structure stabilization. This study is an example of the construction of a supramolecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in mixed‐ligand metal complexes.     

The hydrogen‐bonded complex bis(tert‐butylammonium) 2,6‐dichlorophenolate 2,4‐dichlorophenol–2,4‐dichlorophenolate tetrahydrofuran disolvate containing a chiral R53(10) hydrogen‐bonded ring as a supramolecular synthon

A fixed hydrogen‐bonding motif with a high probability of occurring when appropriate functional groups are involved is described as a `supramolecular hydrogen‐bonding synthon'. The identification of these synthons may enable the prediction of accurate crystal structures. The rare chiral hydrogen‐bonding motif R₅³(10) was observed previously in a cocrystal of 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol, 2,4‐dichlorophenol and dicyclohexylamine. In the title solvated salt, 2C₄H₁₂N⁺·C₆H₃Cl₂O⁻·(C₆H₃Cl₂O⁻·C₆H₄Cl₂O)·2C₄H₈O, five components, namely two tert‐butylammonium cations, one 2,4‐dichlorophenol molecule, one 2,4‐dichlorophenolate anion and one 2,6‐dichlorophenolate anion, are bound by N—H…O and O—H…O hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen‐bonded ring, with the graph‐set motif R₅³(10), which is further associated with two pendant tetrahydrofuran molecules by N—H…O hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen‐bonded ring has internal symmetry, with a twofold axis running through the centre of the 2,6‐dichlorophenolate anion, and is isostructural with a previous and related structure formed from 2,4‐dichlorophenol, dicyclohexylamine and 2,4,6‐trichlorophenol. In the title crystal, helical columns are built by the alignment and twisting of the chiral hydrogen‐bonded rings, along and across the c axis, and successive pairs of rings are associated with each other through C—H…π interactions. Neighbouring helical columns are inversely related and, therefore, no chirality is sustained, in contrast to the previous case.     

Hydrogen‐bonding motifs in 3‐carboxyanilinium bromide and iodide

In the title compounds, C₇H₈NO₂⁺·Br⁻, (I), and C₇H₈NO₂⁺·I⁻, (II), the asymmetric unit contains a discrete 3‐carboxyanilinium cation, with a protonated amine group, and a halide anion. The compounds are not isostructural, and the crystal structures of (I) and (II) are characterized by different two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded networks. The ions in (I) are connected into ladder‐like ribbons via N—H...Br hydrogen bonds, while classic cyclic O—H...O hydrogen bonds between adjacent carboxylic acid functions link adjacent ribbons to give three characteristic graph‐set motifs, viz. C₂¹(4), R₄²(8) and R₂²(8). The ions in (II) are connected via N—H...I, N—H...O and O—H...I hydrogen bonds, also with three characteristic graph‐set motifs, viz. C(7), C₂¹(4) and R₄²(18), but an O—H...O interaction is not present.     

Three anilides of 2,2′‐thiodibenzoic acid

The structures of N,N′‐bis(2‐methylphenyl)‐2,2′‐thiodibenzamide, C₂₈H₂₄N₂O₂S, (Ia), N,N′‐bis(2‐ethylphenyl)‐2,2′‐thiodibenzamide, C₃₀H₂₈N₂O₂S, (Ib), and N,N′‐bis(2‐bromophenyl)‐2,2′‐thiodibenzamide, C₂₆H₁₈Br₂N₂O₂S, (Ic), are compared with each other. For the 19 atoms of the consistent thiodibenzamide core, the r.m.s. deviations of the molecules in pairs are 0.29, 0.90 and 0.80 Å for (Ia)/(Ib), (Ia)/(Ic) and (Ib)/(Ic), respectively. The conformations of the central parts of molecules (Ia) and (Ib) are similar due to an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen‐bonding interaction. The molecules of (Ia) are further linked into infinite chains along the c axis by intermolecular N—H...O interactions, whereas the molecules of (Ib) are linked into chains along b by an intermolecular N—H...π contact. The conformation of (Ic) is quite different from those of (Ia) and (Ib), since there is no intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, but instead there is a possible intramolecular N—H...Br hydrogen bond. The molecules are linked into chains along c by intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in rac‐1‐acetyl‐5‐methyl‐2‐thioxoimidazolidin‐4‐one

In the title compound, C₆H₈N₂O₂S, also known as N‐acetyl‐2‐thiohydantoin–alanine, the molecules are joined by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R₂²(8) dimers; these dimers are linked by C—H...O interactions to form R₂²(10) rings, thus forming C₂²(10) chains that run along the [101] direction.
