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.     

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.     

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.     

4‐[(2‐Chloro­phenyl)­diazenyl]‐6‐methoxy‐2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one

The structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀ClN₃O₅, displays the characteristic features of azo­benzene derivatives. Intramolecular N—H⋯O, weak intramolecular C—H⋯O, and intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O interactions influence the conformation of the mol­ecules and the crystal packing. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains, and the title compound adopts the keto–amine tautomeric form. The azo­benzene moiety of the mol­ecule has a trans configuration. The mol­ecule is not planar, and the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 35.6 (2)°.     

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(3,5‐di­methyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐1‐thio­carboxamidato‐κ2N2,N)­cobalt(III)

In the crystal structure of the title complex, [Co(C₆H₈N₃S)₃], the Co^III atom is octahedrally coordinated by three monodeprotonated bidentate 3,5‐di­methyl‐1H‐pyrazole‐1‐thio­carbox­amide ligands with two thio­carbox­amide N atoms in axial positions. The asymmetric unit contains two mol­ecules (A and B) and these mol­ecules are arranged in chains in an alternating fashion connected by N—H⋯S interactions.     

Host–guest inter­action in a thio­urea–dimethyl oxalate (2/1) complex at 300 and 100 K

The title complex, 2CH₄N₂S·C₄H₆O₄, is a host–guest system. The asymmetric unit consists of one complete thio­urea mol­ecule and one‐half of a dimethyl oxalate mol­ecule lying on an inversion centre. The host thio­urea mol­ecules are connected to form zigzag chains by N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. The guest dimethyl oxalate mol­ecules provide O‐atom acceptors for N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus inter­connecting the chains of thio­urea mol­ecules to form completely connected sheets. The reduction in temperature from 300 to 100 K leaves the structure unchanged and still isostructural with that previously determined for the analogous thio­urea–diethyl oxalate (2/1) complex. It does, however, induce closer packing of the mol­ecules, general shrinkage of the unit cell and shortening of the hydrogen bonds, these last two to the extent of 1–2%.     

Displaced π–π stacking and hydrogen bonds in 3‐bromo‐N‐(2‐hydroxy‐1,1‐di­methyl­ethyl)­benz­amide

The mol­ecules of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₄BrNO₂, are assembled into a two‐dimensional network by a combination of hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions. The phenyl rings are stacked along the c direction by displaced π–π interactions, forming a lipophilic layer. The aliphatic amide residues are interconnected along [100] by O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming hydro­philic layers.     

Salicylaldehyde 4,4′‐(hexane‐1,6‐di­yl)­thio­semicarbazone

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₉N₃OS, is in the thio­keto form, with the thione S and hydrazine N atoms cis with respect to each other so that the S atom is involved in inter‐ and intra­molecular hydrogen bonds simultaneously. Inter­molecular C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds result in one‐dimensional polymeric chains of mol­ecules along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π ring inter­action binds the polymeric chains together.     

Three isomeric forms of hydroxyphenyl‐2‐oxazoline: 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, 2‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline

Crystal structures are reported for three isomeric compounds, namely 2‐(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (I), 2‐(3‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (II), and 2‐(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (III), all C₉H₉NO₂ [systematic names: 2‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (I), 3‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (II), and 4‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (III)]. In these compounds, the deviation from coplanarity of the oxazoline and benzene rings is dependent on the position of the hydroxy group on the benzene ring. The coplanar arrangement in (I) is stabilized by a strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Surprisingly, the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule B of (II) adopts a ³T₄ (^C2T_C3) conformation, while the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule A, as well as that in (I) and (III), is nearly planar, as expected. Tetra­mers of mol­ecules of (II) are formed and they are bound together via weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In (III), strong inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of an infinite chain of mol­ecules perpendicular to the b direction. This paper also reports a theoretical investigation of hydrogen bonds, based on density functional theory (DFT) employing periodic boundary conditions.     

Bis(μ‐1,10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐olato‐κ3N,N′:O)­dicopper(I)(Cu—Cu) monohydrate

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cu₂(C₁₂H₇­N₂O)₂]·H₂O, shows that this dinuclear complex has shorter Cu—N, Cu—O and Cu—Cu distances within the coordination sphere than similar reported complexes. The complex mol­ecule is located on a centre of symmetry and the water mol­ecule is on a twofold axis of the space group C2/c. The discrete complex mol­ecules are extended into a two‐dimensional supramolecular array viaπ–π stacking interactions, intermolecular Cu⋯Cu interactions and C—H⋯O hydrogen 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.     

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.     

fac‐Bromo­tri­carbonyl­[2‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐one]­rhenium(I) methanol solvate

The structure of the title compound, fac‐[ReBr(C₁₄H₁₂N₂O)(CO)₃]·CH₄O, consists of neutral mononuclear mol­ecular units of distorted octahedral geometry, with the three carbonyl donors in a facial orientation. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by the Br atom, the pyridine N atom and the ketone O‐atom donor of the ligand. The mol­ecules pack in stacks of antiparallel tapes, with a network of classical (O—H⋯Br) and non‐classical (C—H⋯O) hydrogen bonds between the methanol solvent mol­ecule and the complex mol­ecule.     

2‐[(E)‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)­methyl­ene­amino]‐N‐(X‐methyl­phenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1‐benzo­thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide,where X = 2 and 3

The title compounds, both C₂₃H₂₁ClN₂OS, are isomeric, with (I) and (II) being the N‐3‐methyl­phenyl and N‐2‐methyl­phenyl derivatives, respectively. The dihedral angle between the 4‐chloro­phenyl group and the thio­phene ring in (II) [38.1 (1)°] is larger than that in (I) [7.1 (1)°], indicating steric repulsion between the chloro­phenyl and o‐toluidine groups in (II). In both compounds, an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring, thus locking the molecular conformation. In the crystal structures, mol­ecules are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis in (I) and along the c axis in (II). Intermolecular C—H⋯O/S and π–π interactions are also observed in (II), but not in (I).     

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.     

6‐(2‐Chloro­acetamido)­hexa­noic acid

Crystals of the title compound, C₈H₁₄ClNO₃, belong to the space group Cc and are characterized by an asymmetric unit containing two mol­ecules, both with a twisted conformation. The mol­ecular packing is stabilized by N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds between the amide groups of mol­ecules with the same conformation. In addition, hydrogen‐bonded cyclic carboxylic acid dimers are established between mol­ecules with a different conformation. The ClCH₂—CONH bond has a cis conformation in order to favour an intra­molecular Cl⋯HN electrostatic inter­action. Weak intra‐ and inter­molecular CH₂⋯O=C inter­actions are also present.     

N‐(3H‐Thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine and N‐methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine

The geometries of the thia­zole ring and the nitr­amino groups in N‐(3H‐thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine, C₃H₃N₃O₂S, (I), and N‐­methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, (II), are very similar. The nitr­amine group in (II) is planar and twisted along the C—N bond with respect to the thia­zole ring. In both structures, the asymmetric unit includes two practically equal mol­ecules. In (I), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers connected to each other by N—H⋯N and much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of (II), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers bound to each other by both weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and S⋯O dipolar interactions.     

A novel thio­cyanate‐bridged dinuclear cadmium(II) complex: di‐μ‐thio­cyanato‐bis­((methanol){4‐nitro‐2‐[2‐(dimethyl­amino)ethyl­imino­meth­yl]phenolato}cadmium(II))

The title complex, [Cd₂(C₁₁H₁₄N₃O₃)₂(NCS)₂(CH₄O)₂], is an inter­esting thio­cyanate‐bridged dinuclear cadmium(II) compound. It is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The Cd^II atom is six‐coordinated in an octa­hedral configuration by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and by the terminal N atom of a bridging thio­cyanate ligand, defining the basal plane, and by the terminal S atom of another bridging thio­cyanate ligand and by the O atom of a coordi­nated methanol mol­ecule, occupying the axial positions. The mol­ecules are linked through inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.     

9‐(2‐Chloro­ethyl­amino)­acridine monohydrate and its precursor 9‐phenoxy­acridine

The title compounds, C₁₅H₁₃ClN₂·H₂O, (I), and C₁₉H₁₃NO, (II), form monoclinic crystals. Arranged in a `head‐to‐tail' manner, the mol­ecules of the amine form (I) lie along the b axis in layers that are linked by a network of hydrogen bonds involving the endocyclic N atom, the H atom at the exocyclic N atom and all the atoms of the solvent water mol­ecule. Molecules of (II), with the phenoxy group nearly perpendicular to the acridine moiety, are arranged in pairs related by a center of symmetry and stabilized via two C—H⋯N contacts; the latter are linked via a network of further C—H⋯N contacts and non‐specific dispersive interactions.
