The first structurally analysed nucleic acid building block containing the Reese protecting group: 2′‐O‐[1‐(2‐fluorophenyl)‐4‐methoxypiperidin‐4‐yl]‐β‐D‐(1′R,2′R,3′R,4′R)‐uridine

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₆FN₃O₇, is assembled by N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds into well‐separated two‐dimensional layers of about 15 Å thickness. The crescent conformation of the molecules is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen bonds. The uridine moiety adopts an anti conformation. The ribofuranose ring exists in an envelope conformation. All the endocyclic uracil bonds are shorter than normal single C—N and C—C bonds, and five of them have comparable lengths, which implies a considerable degree of delocalization of the electron density within this ring.     

1‐(2‐Aminophenyl)‐3‐(4‐pyridyl)prop‐2‐en‐1‐one: a three‐dimensional framework structure built from N—H...N,C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds

The intramolecular dimensions of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O, provide evidence for a polarized electronic structure. The molecule, which is almost completely planar, contains an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond, and the molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...N, C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional framework structure.     

N‐(4‐Nitrobenzoyl)‐N′‐phenylhydrazine: a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework

In the title compound (systematic name: N‐anilino‐4‐nitrobenzamide), C₁₃H₁₁N₃O₃, the molecules are linked into a complex three‐dimensional framework structure by a combination of two‐centre N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and a three‐centre N—H...(O,N) hydrogen bond.     

(5RS)‐5‐(4‐Methoxyphenyl)‐2‐(methylsulfanyl)benzo[g]pyrimido[4,5‐b]quinoline‐4,6,11(3H,5H,12H)‐trione,with Z′ = 3, forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework containing five types of hydrogen bond

The title compound, C₂₃H₁₇N₃O₄S, crystallizes with Z′ = 3 in the space group P. Two of the three independent molecules are broadly similar in terms of both their molecular conformations and their participation in hydrogen bonds, but the third molecule differs from the other two in both of these respects. The molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...O, N—H...N, C—H...O, C—H...N and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form a continuous three‐dimensional framework structure within which a centrosymmetric six‐molecule aggregate can be identified as a key structural element.

Molecules of the title compound [systematic name: (5‐amino‐3‐methylpyrazol‐1‐yl)(phenyl)methanone], C₁₁H₁₁N₃O, contain an intramolecular hydrogen bond. The molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of N—H...N, C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with the hydrogen‐bonded structures of some related compounds.     

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.     

(E)‐4‐[(2‐Carbamoylhydrazinylidene)methyl]‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐methylpyridin‐1‐ium nitrate

The title compound, C₉H₁₃N₄O₃⁺·NO₃⁻, is the first structurally characterized Schiff base derived from semicarbazide and pyridoxal. Unusually for an unsubstituted semicarbazone, the compound adopts a syn conformation, in which the carbonyl O atom is in a cis disposition relative to the azomethine N atom. This arrangement is supported by a pair of hydrogen bonds between the organic cation and the nitrate anion. The cation is essentially planar, with only a hydroxymethyl O atom deviating significantly from the mean plane of the remaining atoms (r.m.s. deviation of the remaining non‐H atoms = 0.01 Å). The molecules are linked into flat layers by N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. O—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxymethyl group as a donor interconnect the layers into a three‐dimensional structure.     

N‐tert‐Butyl‐N′‐[5‐cyano‐2‐(4‐methylphenoxy)phenylsulfonyl]urea,a new TXA2 receptor antagonist

The title compound, C₁₉H₂₁N₃O₄S, crystallizes in the space group P2/c with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of both molecules is very similar and is mainly determined by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between a urea N atom and a sulfonyl O atom. The O and second N atom of the urea groups are involved in dimer formation via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding motif and conformation of the C—SO₂—NH(C=O)—NH—C fragment are explored and compared using the Cambridge Structural Database and theoretical calculations. The crystal packing is characterized by π–π stacking between the 5‐cyanobenzene rings.     

Methyl 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate: a hydrogen‐bonded chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric rings

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₁BrN₄O₂, the imidazole and pyrazole rings are almost orthogonal to each other, but the ester unit is effectively coplanar with the adjacent aryl rings. The molecules are linked into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric rings by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds.     

1‐Benzoyl‐3‐[(2‐benzylsulfanyl)phenyl]thiourea

In the title compound, C₂₁H₁₈N₂OS₂, a strong intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond [N...O = 2.642 (3) Å] between the amide N atom and the benzoyl O atom forms an almost planar six‐membered ring in the central part of the molecule. In the crystal, molecules are packed through weak N—H...S interactions. Intra‐ and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions are the stabilizing forces for the crystal structure.     

3‐{[4‐Amino‐6‐methoxy‐2‐(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]amino}‐1,2′‐biindenylidene‐1′,3′‐dione dimethyl sulfoxide solvate: π‐stacked sheets of hydrogen‐bonded chains of edge‐fused rings

In the title compound, C₂₄H₁₈N₄O₃S·C₂H₆OS, the biindenylidene component shows evidence of polarization of the electronic structure. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules are disordered over two sites, and they are linked to the biindenylidenedione components via N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. A combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds links the nonsolvent components into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric R₂²(8) and R₂²(22) rings, and these chains are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

Three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework in bis(melamin‐1‐ium) naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate melamine pentahydrate

Crystals of the title compound, 2C₃H₇N₆⁺·C₁₀H₆O₆S₂²⁻·C₃H₆N₆·5H₂O, are built up of neutral 2,4,6‐triamino‐1,3,5‐triazine (melamine), singly protonated melaminium cations, naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate dianions and water molecules. Two independent anions lie across centres of inversion in the space group P. The melamine molecules are connected by N—H...N hydrogen bonds into two different one‐dimensional polymers almost parallel to the (010) plane, forming a stacking structure along the b axis. The centrosymmetric naphthalene‐1,5‐disulfonate anions interact with water molecules via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (001) plane. The cations and anions are connected by N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework.     

`Segmented' crystals solved using synchrotron radiation: (2S,3R,4S,5R)‐4‐(10,10‐dimethyl‐3,3‐dioxo‐3λ6‐thia‐4‐azatricyclo[5.2.1.01,5]decan‐4‐ylcarbonyl)‐2,6‐diphenylperhydropyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1,3‐dione

The title compound, C₂₉H₃₁N₃O₅S, forms needle‐shaped `segmented' crystals, thereby inhibiting successful single‐crystal data collection using conventional laboratory facilities. One crystallite of dimensions 0.15 × 0.03 × 0.01 mm yielded sufficent single‐crystal diffraction data on the Australian Synchrotron PX1 beamline. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit are nearly superimposable and show only minor conformational deviations from closely related compounds. The molecules pack using one N—H...O hydrogen bond and several phenyl C—H...O(=S), phenyl C—H...O(=C) and methylene C—H...O(=C) hydrogen bonds and weak C—H...π interactions.     

2‐[(E)‐(4‐Hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene)amino]‐N‐(2‐methylphenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzothiophene‐3‐carboxamide

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₄N₂O₃S, exhibits antifungal and antibacterial properties. The compound crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, with one molecule exhibiting `orientational disorder' in the crystal structure with respect to the cyclohexene ring. The o‐toluidine groups in both molecules are noncoplanar with the respective cyclohexene‐fused thiophene ring. In both molecules, there is an intramolecular N—H...N hydrogen bond forming a pseudo‐six‐membered ring which locks the molecular conformation and eliminates conformational flexibility. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H...O hydrogen bonds; both molecules in the asymmetric unit form independent chains, each such chain consisting of alternating `ordered' and `disordered' molecules in the crystal lattice.     

2,6‐Bis[(2‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinocarbonyl]pyridine monohydrate

In the title compound, C₂₃H₁₉N₅O₆·H₂O, the two components are linked into complex chains by a combination of two independent O—H...O and two independent N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The complex chains are linked into a two‐dimensional sheet network viaπ–π stacking interactions and C—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

2‐{[(3‐Fluorophenyl)amino]methylidene}‐3‐oxobutanenitrile and 5‐{[(3‐fluorophenyl)amino]methylidene}‐2,2‐dimethyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione: X‐ray and DFT studies

In the crystal structures of the title compounds, C₁₁H₉FN₂O, (I), and C₁₃H₁₂FNO₄, (II), the molecules are joined pairwise via different hydrogen bonds and the constituent pairs are crosslinked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The basic structural motif in (I), which is partially disordered, comprises pairs of molecules arranged in an antiparallel fashion which enables C—H...N[triple‐bond]C interactions. The pairs of molecules are crosslinked by two weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The constituent pair in (II) is formed by intramolecular bifurcated C—H...O/O′ and combined inter‐ and intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In both structures, F atoms form weak C—F...H—C interactions with the H atoms of the two neighbouring methyl groups, the H...F separations being 2.59/2.80 and 2.63/2.71 Å in (I) and (II), respectively. The bond orders in the molecules, estimated using the natural bond orbitals (NBO) formalism, correlate with the changes in bond lengths. Deviations from the ideal molecular geometry are explained by the concept of non‐equivalent hybrid orbitals. The existence of possible conformers of (I) and (II) is analysed by molecular calculations at the B3LYP/6–31+G** level of theory.     

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.     

2,4‐Dimethyl‐1,3‐thiazole‐5‐carboxylic acid: an X‐ray structural study at 100 K and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The crystal structure of the title thiazolecarboxylic acid derivative, C₆H₇NO₂S, (I), has been determined from single‐crystal X‐ray analysis at 100 K. In the crystal packing, an interplay of O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds connects the molecules to form C(6)R₂²(8) polymeric chains, which are further linked via weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a two‐dimensional supramolecular framework. The relative contributions of different interactions to the Hirshfeld surface in (I) and a few related thiazolecarboxylic acid derivatives indicate that the H...H, N...H and O...H contacts can account for about 50–70% of the total Hirshfeld surface area in this class of compound.     

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.
