The title 4,4′‐disubstituted diphen­yl‐1,3‐triazines, C₁₄H₁₅N₃, (I), C₁₂H₉ClFN₃, (II), and C₁₃H₁₂FN₃, (III), each contain a triazene group (–N=N—NH–) having an extended conformation. The dihedral angles between the two benzene rings in (I), (II) and (III) are 4.3, 3.4 and 6.5°, respectively. The mol­ecules are almost entirely planar, with maximum deviations from the mean planes of 0.1087 (2), −0.1072 (7) and 0.1401 (3) Å, respectively. In each compound, the molecules are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds to form chains and pack similarly in the crystal structures.     

Bis[bis­(3‐phenyl­pyrazol‐1‐yl)­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)­methane]­copper(II) bis­(per­chlor­ate) acetonitrile disolvate

The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₂₂H₁₈N₆)₂](ClO₄)₂·2C₂H₃N, comprises two neutral substituted tris­(pyrazol‐1‐yl)­methane ligands bonded to a central Cu^II ion, which is positioned on a crystallographic inversion center. Six Cu—N bonds are arranged in a distorted octa­hedral fashion. The unsubstituted pyrazole rings on each ligand are oriented trans with respect to each other, inter­digitated with the two 3‐phenyl­pyrazole rings of the other ligand.     

1‐(Thiophen‐3‐yl)ethanone

The structure of the title compound, C₆H₆OS, exhibits a flip‐type disorder of the thiophene ring [occupancy ratio = 0.848 (3):0.152 (3)], which is typical for many thiophene derivatives. The puckered thiophene ring is essentially coplanar with the plane formed by the non‐H atoms of the acetyl substituent, similar to its simple analogues, i.e. 3‐acetyl‐2‐carboxythiophene, 4‐acetyl‐3‐carboxythiophene and 3,5‐diacetyl‐2‐ethylamino‐4‐methylthiophene. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected by C—H...π hydrogen bonds, forming a sheet parallel to the (001) plane. Moreover, an inspection of the crystal lattice reveals that there are short S...O contacts connecting the molecules of adjacent sheets. Comparison of the title crystal structure with its simple 3‐methoxythiophene analogue shows a close similarity in the herringbone arrangement of molecules and in the presence of C—H...π interactions and S...O contacts.     

1‐(1‐Benzoylpropen‐2‐yl)‐3‐methylisothiosemicarbazide

The structure of the title S‐alkyl­ated iso­thio­semicarbazide, C₁₂H₁₅N₃OS, was determined by single‐crystal diffractometry and compared with the structures of other compounds containing the S‐alkyl­thio­semicarbazide moiety. Such structures cluster into two groups, according to the different orientation of the –SR group with respect to the hydrazine N atom of the thio­semicarbazide. The cis arrangement is preferred by most mol­ecules in the solid state, in spite of the possibility of intramolecular N—H?N interactions in the opposite orientation.

All the newly synthesized triazoles were tested in vitro for antimicrobial activity against four bacterial cultures – Escherichia coli , Enterobacter aerogenes , Klebsiella pneumoniae , and Staphylococcus aureus – and two fungal cultures – Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger . The synthesized 1,4‐disubstituted 1,2,3‐triazoles displayed moderate to good antimicrobial potential against the tested strains.
