Abstract In the crystal structure of the nitrate salt, columns of di-cationic macrocycles, each disposed about a center of inversion, are interspersed by pairs of nitrate anions that form charged-assisted N–H···O hydrogen-bonding interactions, reinforced by C–H···O contacts. The topology of the resulting supramolecular architecture is that of a linear chain and these associate via further weak C–H···O contacts. In the structure of the acetate trihydrate, di-cationic macrocycles are circumscribed by 32-membered rings defined by O–H···O interactions, involving the acetate anions and solvent water molecules. Systematic variations in the geometric parameters in the molecular structures are correlated with the influence of intermolecular interactions. The nitrate crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 8.3524(11) ?, b = 12.5497(16) ?, c = 11.1208(16) ?, β = 103.180(3)°, and Z = 2.

Abstract  The synthesis, characterization, and molecular structure of the title compound, [(1-benzylpyrazole)[N,N-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,2-ethanediamine]copper(II)] diperchlorate, [(nbp)(tren)Cu(II)](ClO₄)₂, 2  · 2ClO₄, is reported. The salt crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 10.1453(5) ?, b = 17.5250(8) ?, c = 13.6021(6) ?, β = 100.737(19)° and V = 2376.06(19) ?³ with Z = 4. The structure contains copper(II) (nbp)(tren) cations, each with a distorted-trigonal-bipyramidal CuN₅ coordination geometry, separated by perchlorate anions. The cations exhibit steric strain associated primarily with close contacts between the methylene protons of the nbp ligand and one of the amine groups of the tren ligand. The strain has a noticeable effect on the coordination geometry and certain physical properties of the complex. Graphical Abstract  In the title structure, steric strain in the (nbp)(tren)Cu(II) cations, associated with close contacts between protons of the nbp ligand and two of the amine groups of the tren ligand (dashed lines in the figure below) affects certain physical properties of the cation and is consistent with an anomalously long Cu(II)–N(pyrazole) distance (Cu–N41) and an unusually large axial–equatorial angle, N41–Cu–N12.

The X-ray crystal structure of phyllostin (8-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-oxo-2,3,4a,5,8,8a-hexahydro-benzo[1,4]dioxine-6-carboxylic acid methyl ester) is reported. Phyllostin was recently and for the first time isolated, together with phytotoxin phyllostoxin and the phyllostictines A–D, from the culture filtrates of Phyllosticta cirsii, a fungal pathogen isolated from diseased Cirsium arvense leaves and evaluated as biocontrol agent of this noxious perennial weed. Phyllostin crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁ with unit cell parameters: a = 8.371(2), b = 7.026(1), c = 9.918(1) ?, β = 92.013(8)°, Z = 2. The final refinement converged to R1 = 0.0530 for 1026 observed reflections having I > 2σ(I). In the molecule two trans joined six-membered rings are present. The cyclohexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation. The 2-oxo-1,4-dioxan ring adopts a distorted half-chair conformation. The relative stereochemistry of the four chiral centers turns out to be 3R,4aS,8R,8aS. In the crystal packing molecules form infinite chains through O–H···O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Chains run along the crystallographic a axis forming layers of molecules stacking in the [0 1 0] direction.     

Solid-state structure of a 1:1 adduct of 2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-butylphenol and 3-<Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-butylsalicylaldehyde

The co-crystal structure of 2-t-butylphenol with 3-t-butylsalicylaldehyde (1) was obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. 2-t-Butylphenol was co-crystallized with 1 equivalent of 3-t-butylsalicylaldehyde. The phase crystallizes in the monoclinic system with P2₁/c space group. The unit cell dimensions are a = 12.351(3) Å, b = 15.253(3) Å, c = 10.377(2) Å, β = 97.58(3)^∘, V = 1937.8(7) ų and Z = 4. The structure of the crystal layered by nonpolar group includes strong intramolecular and weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The aldehyde oxygen O2 accepts a three-centered bond through intramolecular O1–H1A⋅sO2 and intermolecular O3–H3A⋅sO2 interactions. In addition, the crystal consists of right-handed helical (P) and left-handed helical (M) chains linked by hydrogen bonding.
