Five pseudopolymorphs of 6‐amino‐2‐thiouracil: absence of N—H...S hydrogen bonds

In order to study the preferred hydrogen‐bonding pattern of 6‐amino‐2‐thiouracil, C₄H₅N₃OS, (I), crystallization experiments yielded five different pseudopolymorphs of (I), namely the dimethylformamide disolvate, C₄H₅N₃OS·2C₃H₇NO, (Ia), the dimethylacetamide monosolvate, C₄H₅N₃OS·C₄H₉NO, (Ib), the dimethylacetamide sesquisolvate, C₄H₅N₃OS·1.5C₄H₉NO, (Ic), and two different 1‐methylpyrrolidin‐2‐one sesquisolvates, C₄H₅N₃OS·1.5C₅H₉NO, (Id) and (Ie). All structures contain R₂¹(6) N—H...O hydrogen‐bond motifs. In the latter four structures, additional R₂²(8) N—H...O hydrogen‐bond motifs are present stabilizing homodimers of (I). No type of hydrogen bond other than N—H...O is observed. According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, most 2‐thiouracil derivatives form homodimers stabilized by an R₂²(8) hydrogen‐bonding pattern, with (i) only N—H...O, (ii) only N—H...S or (iii) alternating pairs of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.     

2‐Cyano‐N‐(4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidin‐2‐yl)acetamide: complex sheets built from N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds

Molecules of the title compound, C₉H₁₀N₄O₃, (I), are linked into complex sheets by a combination of one N—H...O hydrogen bond and two C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are drawn between (I) and some related compounds in respect of both their molecular conformations and their hydrogen‐bonding arrangements.     

N—H...S and C—H...S hydrogen bonds in two tetraalkylammonium dithiobiurea(1–) inclusion compounds

Two inclusion compounds of dithiobiurea and tetrapropylammonium and tetrabutylammonium are characterized and reported, namely tetrapropylammonium carbamothioyl(carbamothioylamino)azanide, C₁₂H₂₈N⁺·C₂H₅N₄S₂⁻, (1), and tetrabutylammonium carbamothioyl(carbamothioylamino)azanide, C₁₆H₃₆N⁺·C₂H₅N₄S₂⁻, (2). The results show that in (1), the dithiobiurea anion forms a dimer via N—H...N hydrogen bonds and the dimers are connected into wide hydrogen‐bonded ribbons. The guest tetrapropylammonium cation changes its character to become the host molecule, generating pseudo‐channels containing the aforementioned ribbons by C—H...S contacts, yielding the three‐dimensional network structure. In comparison, in (2), the dithiobiurea anions are linked via N—H...S interactions, producing one‐dimensional chains which pack to generate two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded layers. These layers accommodate the guest tetrabutylammonium cations, resulting in a sandwich‐like layer structure with host–guest C—H...S contacts.     

4‐Iodo­anilinium 3‐nitro­phthalate(1–): tripartite sheets built from O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, 4‐iodoanilinium 2‐carboxy‐6‐nitrobenzoate, C₆H₇IN⁺·C₈H₄NO₆⁻, the anions are linked by an O—H...O hydrogen bond [H...O = 1.78 Å, O...O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H...O = 171°] into C(7) chains, and these chains are linked by two two‐centre N—H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 1.86 and 1.92 Å, N...O = 2.700 (3) and 2.786 (3) Å, and N—H...O = 153 and 158°] and one three‐centre N—H...(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H...O = 2.02 and 2.41 Å, N...O = 2.896 (3) and 2.789 (3) Å, N—H...O = 162 and 105°, and O...H...O = 92°], thus forming sheets con­taining R(6), R(8), R(13) and R(18) rings.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₈O₂, contains two practically planar symmetry‐independent molecules linked by one O—H...O hydrogen bond. Molecules are further linked into a three‐dimensional network, which is built from R₆⁶(36), R₆⁶(18), R₆⁶(30) and R₄⁴(26) rings formed by the combined effect of three O—H...O and one C—H...O hydrogen bond. This network is additionally stabilized by an O—H...π interaction.

The hydrogen phthalate ions of 2HAHP and 3HAHP show a short intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, with O...O distances ranging from 2.3832 (15) to 2.3860 (14) Å. N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with short C—H...O contacts in PCAHP and 3HAHP, generate extended hydrogen‐bond networks. PCAHP forms a two‐dimensional supramolecular sheet extending in the (100) plane, whereas 2HAHP has a supramolecular chain running parallel to the [100] direction and 3HAHP has a two‐dimensional network extending parallel to the (001) plane.

In the title compound, C₁₂H₉N₃O₂S, the thienyl substituent is disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.749 (3) and 0.251 (3). A combination of N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...π hydrogen bonds links the molecules into bilayers and these bilayers are themselves linked into a continuous structure by π–π stacking interactions.

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—H...O,O—H...O hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular sheet formation in the bis(2‐aminoanilinium) fumarate, 3‐methylanilinium hydrogen fumarate and 4‐chloroanilinium hydrogen fumarate salts

In bis(2‐aminoanilinum) fumarate, 2C₆H₉N₂⁺·C₄H₂O₄²⁻, (I), the asymmetric unit consists of two aminoanilinium cations and one fumarate dianion, whereas in 3‐methylanilinium hydrogen fumarate, C₇H₁₀N⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, (II), and 4‐chloroanilinium hydrogen fumarate, C₆H₇ClN⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, (III), the asymmetric unit contains two symmetry‐independent hydrogen fumate anions and anilinium cations with a slight difference in their geometric parameters; the two salts are isostructural. In (II) and (III), the carboxylic acid H atoms of the anions are disordered across both ends of the anion, with equal site occupancies of 0.50. Both the 4‐chloroanilinium cations of (III) are disordered over two orientations with major occupancies fixed at 0.60 in each case. The hydrogen fumarate anions of (II) and (III) form one‐dimensional anionic chains linked through O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Salts (II) and (III) form two‐dimensional supramolecular sheets built from R₄⁴(16), R₄⁴(18), R₅⁵(25) and C₂²(14) motifs extending parallel to the (010) plane, whereas in (I), an (010) sheet is formed built from two R₄³(13) motifs, two R₂²(9) motifs and an R₄⁴(18) motif.     

2‐(4‐Chlorophenyl)‐5‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐4,7‐dihydropyrazolo[1,5‐a]pyrimidine‐3,6‐dicarbaldehyde: a chain of rings built from N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₃ClN₄O₄, the six‐membered heterocyclic ring is planar and the molecular dimensions provide evidence for polarization of the molecular–electronic structure. Molecules are linked into a chain of rings by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, but the nitro group does not participate in the supramolecular aggregation. This study illustrates the marked influence of peripheral substituents on the pattern of hydrogen‐bonded aggregation in compounds of this type.     

N—H...O and N—H...N interactions in three pyran derivatives

The three pyran structures 6‐methylamino‐5‐nitro‐2,4‐diphenyl‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile, C₁₉H₁₅N₃O₃, (I), 4‐(3‐fluorophenyl)‐6‐methylamino‐5‐nitro‐2‐phenyl‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile, C₁₉H₁₄FN₃O₃, (II), and 4‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐6‐methylamino‐5‐nitro‐2‐phenyl‐4H‐pyran‐3‐carbonitrile, C₁₉H₁₄ClN₃O₃, (III), differ in the nature of the aryl group at the 4‐position. The heterocyclic ring in all three structures adopts a flattened boat conformation. The dihedral angle between the pseudo‐axial phenyl substituent and the flat part of the pyran ring is 89.97 (1)° in (I), 80.11 (1)° in (II) and 87.77 (1)° in (III). In all three crystal structures, a strong intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond links the flat conjugated H—N—C=C—N—O fragment into a six‐membered ring. In (II), molecules are linked into dimeric aggregates by N—H... O(nitro) hydrogen bonds, generating an R₂²(12) graph‐set motif. In (III), intermolecular N—H...N and C—H...N hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a linear chain pattern generating C(8) and C(9) graph‐set motifs, respectively.

In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₅ClN₄O₂, the bond lengths provide evidence for aromatic delocalization in the pyrazole ring but bond fixation in the fused imidazole ring, and the octyl chain is folded, rather than adopting an all‐trans chain‐extended conformation. A combination of N—H...N, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets, in which the hydrogen bonds occupy the central layer with the tert‐butyl and octyl groups arranged on either side, such that the closest contacts between adjacent sheets involve only the octyl groups. Comparisons are made with the supramolecular assembly in some simpler analogues.

Comparisons are made with some related compounds.
