Bis­(di­cyclo­hexyl­ammonium) adipate monohydrate

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C₁₂H₂₄N⁺·C₆H₈O₄^2?·H₂O, the carboxyl­ate ion lies about an inversion center, the water mol­ecule is on a twofold axis and the sec‐ammonium cation is in a general position. Cations link the oxy­gen ends of two adjacent carboxyl­ate anions to form an eight‐membered ring [N?O 2.683 (3) and 2.711 (3) Å]. The ion pair propagates as a linear chain and adjacent chains are linked through the water mol­ecules [O?O 2.966 (3) Å] into layers.     

Methyl 1‐(4‐chloro­benzyl)‐2‐(4‐methyl­piperazin‐1‐yl)‐1H‐benz­imidazole‐5‐carboxyl­ate hemihydrate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₃ClN₄O₂·0.5H₂O, contains two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each mol­ecule the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation; the deviations of the piperazine N atoms from the best plane through the remaining four C atoms are ?0.678 (3) and 0.662 (3) Å in mol­ecule A, and 0.687 (3) and ?0.700 (3) Å in mol­ecule B. The mol­ecules are linked by two hydrogen bonds of the O—H?N type involving the O atom of the water mol­ecule of crystallization.     

Strong hydrogen‐bonded amino acid dimers in l‐alanine alaninium nitrate

The title compound, C₃H₇NO₂·C₃H₈NO₂⁺·NO₃^?, contains l ‐alanine–alaninium dimers bonded via the carboxyl groups by a strong asymmetric hydrogen bond with an O?O distance of 2.4547 (19) Å. The neutral alanine mol­ecule exists as a zwitterion, where the carboxyl group is dissociated and the amino group is protonated. The alaninium cation has both groups in their acidic form. The alanine mol­ecule and the alaninium cation differ only slightly in their conformation, having an N—C_α—C=O torsion angle close to ?25°. The dimers and the nitrate anion are joined through a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network, in which the full hydrogen‐bonding capabilities of the amino groups of the two alanine moieties are realised.     

Piperazine‐1,4‐diium–2,4‐dinitrophenolate–water (1/2/2)

In the title 1/2/2 adduct, C₄H₁₂N₂²⁺·2C₆H₃N₂O₅^?·2H₂O, the dication lies on a crystallographic inversion centre and the asymmetric unit also has one anion and one water mol­ecule in general positions. The 2,4‐di­nitro­phenolate anions and the water mol­ecules are linked by two O—H?O and two C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form molecular ribbons, which extend along the b direction. The piperazine dication acts as a donor for bifurcated N—H?O hydrogen bonds with the phenolate O atom and with the O atom of the o‐nitro group. Six symmetry‐related molecular ribbons are linked to a piperazine dication by N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

{2,6‐Bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl‐N2,C1,N6}di­phenyl­tin(II) bromide monohydrate

In the title compound, [Sn(C₆H₅)₂(C₁₂H₁₉N₂)]Br·H₂O, the Sn^IV atom lies on a twofold axis and is coordinated by a C and two N atoms from the 2,6‐bis­[(di­methyl­amino)­methyl]­phenyl ligand in a tridentate fashion and by two phenyl groups. The resulting geometry is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal, with three C atoms in equatorial and the two N atoms in axial positions. The main deformation from ideal trigonal‐bipyramidal geometry is seen for the N—Sn—N angle [152.18 (7)°]. The Br^? anion and the water solvate mol­ecule are on an inversion centre and twofold axis, respectively. They form an infinite chain of Br?H—O—H?Br hydrogen bonds [Br?O 3.529 (2) Å] without contributing to the primary coordination sphere of the Sn atom.     

Aqua(2,2′‐di­amino‐4,4′‐bi‐1,3‐thia­zole‐κ2N,N′)(imino­diacetato‐κ3O,N,O′)­chromium(III) chloride mono­hydrate

Crystals of the title compound, [Cr(C₄H₅NO₄)(C₆H₆N₄S₂)(H₂O)]Cl·H₂O, consist of Cr^III complex cations, Cl⁻ counter‐ions and lattice water mol­ecules. The complex cation assumes an octahedral coordination geometry, formed by a tridentate imino­di­acetate dianion (IDA), a di­amino­bi­thia­zole (DABT) mol­ecule and a water mol­ecule. The planar DABT group chelates the Cr^III ion with normal Cr—N distances [2.0574 (17) and 2.0598 (17) Å], but the DABT mol­ecule is inclined to the coordination plane by a dihedral angle of 17.23 (7)°. In the monodentate carboxylate groups of the IDA ion, the coordinated C—O bonds [1.288 (3) and 1.284 (3) Å] are much longer than the uncoordinated C—O bonds [1.222 (3) and 1.225 (3) Å].     

Tetraammine(selenito‐O,O′)cobaltate(III) nitrate monohydrate

The title compound crystallizes as the mono­hydrate, [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]NO₃·H₂O. The crystallographic mirror symmetry coincides with the molecular symmetry; the mirror plane passes through the cation, anion and water mol­ecule. The CoN₄O₂ octahedron is distorted, with the selenito group acting as a bidentate ligand through two bridging O atoms to the cobalt. The coordinated Se—O distance is 1.742 (2) Å, whereas the uncoordinated Se—O distance is 1.646 (3) Å. A three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network exists between [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]NO₃ and the water mol­ecule. The nitrate anion and water mol­ecule form open pores in the structure when hydrogen bonded to two neighboring [Co(SeO₃)(NH₃)₄]⁺ cations. Selenium participates in two types of relatively close intermolecular interactions with neighboring charged species (Se?N1 and Se?O3), but does not participate in an interaction with a neighboring O2 atom, the nearest contact distance being 4.638 (3) Å.     

Hexa­methyl­enetetra­mine–4‐nitro­catechol–water (1/2/1)

In the title adduct, 1,3,5,7‐tetra­aza­tri­cyclo[3.3.1.1^3,7]dec­ane–4‐nitro­benzene‐1,2‐diol–water (1/2/1), C₆H₁₂N₄·2C₆H₅NO₄·H₂O, the hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine mol­ecule acts as an acceptor of intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen‐bonding interactions from the water mol­ecule and the hydroxy groups of one of the two symmetry‐independent 4‐nitro­catechol mol­ecules. The structure is built from molecular layers which are stabilized by three intermolecular O—H?O, two intermolecular O—H?N and four intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds. The layers are further interconnected by one additional intermolecular O—H?N and two intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

Cinnamolid‐3β‐ol hemihydrate and 3β‐hydroxycinnamolide acetate,two drimanolide‐class sesquiterpene lactones from Warburgia ugandensis

3β‐Hydr­oxy‐7‐drimen‐12,11‐olide hemihydrate, C₁₅H₂₂O₃·0.5H₂O, (I), has two sesquiterpene mol­ecules and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The OH groups of both mol­ecules and both H atoms of the water mol­ecule are involved in near‐linear inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, having O⋯O distances in the range 2.632 (3)–2.791 (2) Å. 3β‐Acet­oxy‐7‐drimen‐12,11‐olide, C₁₇H₂₄O₄, (II), has its ring system in very nearly the same conformation as the two mol­ecules of (I).     

Tetrameric triphenylsilanol, (Ph3SiOH)4, and the adduct (Ph3SiOH)2–di­methyl sulfoxide,both at 120 K,and the adduct (Ph3SiOH)4–1,4‐dioxan at 150 K: interplay of O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) interactions

The structure of tetrameric tri­phenyl­silanol, C₁₈H₁₆OSi, (I), has been re‐investigated at 120 (2) K. The hydroxyl H atoms were readily located and one of the arene rings is disordered over two closely positioned sets of sites. The mol­ecules are linked into cyclic tetramers, having approximate (S₄) symmetry, via O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O 1.81–1.85 Å, O?O 2.634 (3)–2.693 (3) Å and O—H?O 156–166°]. At ambient temperature, there are indications of multiple disorder of the phenyl‐ring sites. In bis­(tri­phenyl­silanol) di­methyl sulfoxide solvate, 2C₁₈H₁₆OSi·C₂H₆OS, (II), the di­methyl sulfoxide component is disordered across a twofold rotation axis in C2/c, and the molecular components are linked by a single O—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 1.85 Å, O?O 2.732 (2) Å and O—H?O 172°] into three‐mol­ecule aggregates, which are themselves linked into a single three‐dimensional framework by two C—H?π(arene) interactions. In tetrakis­(tri­phenyl­silanol) 1,4‐dioxan solvate, 4C₁₈H₁₆OSi·C₄H₈O₂, (III), the 1,4‐dioxan component lies across an inversion centre in space group P and centrosymmetric five‐mol­ecule aggregates are linked by paired C—H?π(arene) interactions to form molecular ladders.     

trans‐Aquachloro[(1R,4R,8S,11S)‐6,13‐diammonio‐6,13‐dimethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetra­azacyclo­tetra­decane‐κ4N1,4,8,11]nickel(II) trichloride trihydrate

The title compound, [NiCl(C₁₂H₃₂N₆)(H₂O)]Cl₃·3H₂O, has the bis­(diamine)‐substituted cyclic tetra­amine in a planar coordination to triplet ground‐state Ni^II [average Ni—N = 2.068 (3) Å], with a chloride ion [Ni—Cl = 2.4520 (5) Å] and a water mol­ecule [Ni—O = 2.177 (2) Å] coordinated in the axial sites. The amine substituents are protonated and equatorially oriented. The amine groups, ammonium groups, water molecules and chloride ions are linked by an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network.     

Aquabromo(6‐carboxypyridine‐2‐carboxylato‐O,N,O′)mercury(II)

The title compound, [HgBr(C₇H₄NO₄)(H₂O)], was obtained by the reaction of an aqueous solution of mercury(II) bromide and pyridine‐2,6‐di­carboxylic acid (picolinic acid, dipicH₂). The shortest bond distances to Hg are Hg—Br 2.412 (1) Å and Hg—N 2.208 (5) Å; the corresponding N—Hg—Br angle of 169.6 (1)° corresponds to a slightly distorted linear coordination. There are also four longer Hg—O interactions, three from dipicH^? [2.425 (4) and 2.599 (4) Å within the asymmetric unit, and 2.837 (4) Å from a symmetry‐related mol­ecule] and one from the bonded water mol­ecule [2.634 (4) Å]. The effective coordination of Hg can thus be described as 2+4. The mol­ecules are connected to form double‐layer chains parallel to the y axis by strong O—H?O hydrogen bonds between carboxylic acid groups of neighbouring mol­ecules, and by weaker hydrogen bonds involving both H atoms of the water mol­ecule and the O atoms of the carboxylic acid groups.     

Triethyl­ammonium tetra­phenyl­borate di­chloro­methane solvate

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₆H₁₆N⁺·C₂₄H₂₀B⁻·CH₂Cl₂, displays an N—H⋯π interaction between the triethyl­ammonium cation and a phenyl ring of the tetra­phenyl­borate anion. The distance between the ammo­n­ium H atom and the edge of this phenyl ring is 2.40 (3) Å. The ammonium group and the aryl moiety are nearly perpendicular, forming an intramolecular dihedral angle of 90.4°. A C—H⋯π interaction between the disordered di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecule and a phenyl ring of the tetra­phenyl­borate anion is also present.     

meso‐5,5,7,12,12,14‐Hexamethyl‐1,4‐diaza‐8,11‐diazoniacyclotetradecane bis(2‐naphthoate) ethanol disolvate: centrosymmetric five‐component aggregates linked into sheets by C—H⃛π(arene) hydrogen bonding

The title compound is an ethanol‐solvated salt, C₁₆H₃₈N₄²⁺·2C₁₁H₇O₂⁻·2C₂H₆O, in which the cation lies across a centre of inversion in P2₁/c. The ions are linked by N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [H⃛O = 1.70 and 2.30 Å, N⃛O = 2.624 (2) and 3.136 (2) Å, and N—H⃛O = 178 and 151°], and the ethanol mol­ecule is linked to the anion by an O—H⃛O hydrogen bond [H⃛O = 1.90 Å, O⃛O = 2.728 (2) Å and O—H⃛O = 171°], to form a centrosymmetric five‐component aggregate. C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions are absent, but the aggregates are linked into sheets by a single C—H⃛π(arene) hydrogen bond.     

2‐[6‐(1H‐Benzimidazol‐2‐yl)‐2‐pyridyl]‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium perchlorate monohydrate

The title compound, C₁₉H₁₄N₅⁺·ClO₄^?·H₂O, contains planar C₁₉H₁₄N₅⁺ cations, perchlorate anions and water mol­ecules. The two closest parallel cations (plane‐to‐plane distance of 3.41 Å), together with two neighbouring perchlorate anions and two water mol­ecules, form an electrically neutral quasi‐dimeric unit. Two acidic H atoms of the cation, both H atoms of the water mol­ecule, the N atoms of the imidazole rings and three of the four O atoms of the perchlorate anion are involved in the hydrogen‐bonding network within the dimeric unit. The remaining third acidic H atom of the imidazole rings and the water mol­ecules complete a two‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds, thus forming puckered layers of dimers. The angle between the planes of two neighbouring dimeric units in the same layer is 33.25 (3)°.     

Aquachlorobis[4,4,5,5‐tetramethyl‐2‐(2‐pyridyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐1‐oxyl 3‐oxide‐κ2O1,N2]nickel(II) nitrate methanol disolvate monohydrate

The title complex, [NiCl(C₁₂H₁₆N₃O₂)₂(H₂O)]NO₃·2CH₄O·H₂O, was obtained from a methano­lic solution of Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O, 2‐pyridyl nitro­nyl nitro­xide (2‐NITpy) and (NEt₄)₂[CoCl₄]. The equatorial coordination sites of the octahedral Ni^II centre are occupied by two chelating radical ligands, with the axial positions occupied by the Cl^? and water ligands. The H₂O—Ni—Cl axis of the complex lies along a crystallographic twofold axis, so that only half the cation is present in the asymmetric unit. The Ni—Cl bond length [2.3614 (17) Å] is significantly shorter than distances typical of octahedral Ni^II centres [2.441 (5) Å]. However, with only one nitrate anion per formula unit, the oxidation state of the metal must be assigned as Ni^II. The 2‐NITpy ligands bend away from the equatorial plane, forming a hydro­phobic region around the Cl atoms. Conversely, the ligated water mol­ecule forms moderately strong hydrogen bonds with the disordered methanol solvent mol­ecules, which in turn form interactions with the water of crystallization and the disordered nitrate anion. These interactions combine to give hydro­philic regions throughout the crystal structure.     

The 1:1 adduct of 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone with 4,4′-bipyridine

2,5-Di­hydroxy-1,4-benzo­quinone (DHBQ) and 4,4′-bi­pyridine (BPY) crystallize in a 1:1 ratio as a neutral molecular adduct, C₆H₄O₄·C₁₀H₈N₂, in space group C2/c, with half of each mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The mol­ecules are linked by a strong O—H⃛N hydrogen bond [O⃛N 2.6323 (15) Å] and a weak C—H⃛O hydrogen bond [C⃛O 3.2082 (17) Å] to form infinite stacks of parallel one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded ribbons. The two rings of the bi­pyridine are twisted at 28.3° with respect to each other, and the benzo­quinone ring is inclined at an angle of 18.3° with respect to the plane of the neighbouring pyridine ring. The 4,4′-bi­pyridine mol­ecule lies on a twofold axis and the benzo­quinone mol­ecule lies across an inversion centre.     

NEt4OH·5H2O containing hydro­xide–water layers

In the title compound, tetraethyl­ammonium hydro­xide pentahydrate, C₈H₂₀N⁺·OH^?·5H₂O, layers of approximately hexagonally close‐packed NEt₄⁺ cations and anionic layers of hydro­xide and water mol­ecules are stacked alternately along the b axis. All hydro­xide and water H atoms are in ordered positions, giving rise to a network of hydrogen bonds [O?O 2.633 (1)–2.947 (2) Å] with four‐ and six‐membered rings. The hydro­xide ion accepts four hydrogen bonds from four water mol­ecules but does not act as a proton donor.     

Di­methyl (1‐methyl‐1,3‐benzimidazol‐5‐yl)­amino­methyl­ene­propane­dioate monohydrate

In the title compound, C₁₄H₁₅N₃O₄·H₂O, there is a strong conjugation push–pull effect across the central double bond, as reflected in the molecular dimensions and the planarity of the en­amino­ne portion of the mol­ecule. The mol­ecule has an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the NH and CO groups in the Z configuration, adopting the chelated form. The two π systems of the mol­ecule (1‐methyl­benz­imidazole and en­amino­ne) are deconjugated and tilted with respect to each other by 15.6 (2)°. The solvent water mol­ecule is hydrogen bonded to the N¹ atom of the 1‐methyl­benzimidazolyl group.     

Tetrakis(chloromethyl)phosphonium chloride monohydrate

Tetrakis­(chloro­methyl)­phospho­nium chloride monohydrate, C₄H₈Cl₄P⁺·Cl^?·H₂O or P(CH₂Cl)₄⁺·Cl^?·H₂O, is the first crystal structure determination of a tetrakis­(halogeno­methyl)­phospho­nium compound to date. The only comparable structures known so far are of phospho­nium ions containing just one halogeno­methyl group. The solvent water mol­ecule interacts with the Cl^? anion via hydrogen bonds, with O?Cl distances of 3.230 (2) and 3.309 (2) Å. The structure also contains several C—H?Cl^? and C—H?O contacts, though with longer D?A distances [D?A 3.286 (3)–3.662 (2) Å] or bent D—H?A angles. For these reasons, the C—H?Cl^? and C—H?O interactions should not be considered as strong hydrogen bonds.
