Supramolecular structures of 2‐chloro‐5‐methyl­phenol and 4‐chloro‐3‐methyl­phenol (chlorocresol)

The crystal structures of the title compounds (both C₇H₇ClO) are characterized by two independent mol­ecules in each of the asymmetric units and feature O—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions. In addition, intermolecular C—H...Cl and intramolecular O—H...Cl interactions are present in 2‐chloro‐5‐methyl­phenol. For each crystal, the non‐covalent interactions emphasize the different spatial environments for the two independent mol­ecules.     

4‐(4‐Bromo­phenyl)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐thia­zole

In the structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₈BrNS, the dihedral angles between the planes of the thia­zole and aryl rings, viz. 4.2 (6) and 7.5 (6)° for the two independent mol­ecules, are consistent with insignificant molecular perturbation by the weak intermolecular contacts. The mol­ecules are close to being related by a non‐crystallographic inversion centre, with C—H⃛π and π–π intermolecular interactions observed.     

A stacked pyrazolo[3,4‐d]pyrimidine‐based flexible molecule: the effect of a bulky benzyl group on intermolecular stacking in comparison with methyl and ethyl groups

In the crystal structure of 1,1′‐(1,3‐propane­diyl)­bis(5‐benzyl‐6‐methyl­sulfanyl‐4,5‐di­hydro‐1H‐pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidin‐4‐one), C₂₉H₂₈N₈O₂S₂, the pairs of pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine rings stack as a result of intramolecular π–π interactions between the heterocyclic rings. The folded mol­ecules are further stacked in pairs, due to intermolecular aromatic π–π interactions and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

N‐(o‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2,5‐di­methyl­pyrrole‐3‐carb­aldehyde

Crystal structure analysis of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂ClNO, reveals three crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these mol­ecules is the orientation of the phenyl rings with respect to the pyrrole rings. The coplanar arrangement of the aldehyde groups attached to the pyrrole rings influences the pyrrole‐ring geometry. The C2—C3 and N1—C5 bonds are noticeably longer than the C4—C5 and N1—C2 bonds. Two independent mol­ecules of the title compound form dimers via intermolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [D⃛A = 3.400 (3) Å and D—H⃛A = 157°]. The perpendicular orientation of the phenyl and pyrrole rings of one independent mol­ecule and its symmetry‐related mol­ecule allows C—H⃛π interactions, with an H⃛centroid distance of 2.85 Å and a C—H⃛π angle of 155°. The distances between the H atom and the pyrrole‐ring atoms indicate that the C—H bond points towards one of the bonds in the pyrrole ring.     

A stacked pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine‐based flexible mol­ecule: the effect on stacking of a bulky iso­propyl group in comparison with a methyl/ethyl group

In the crystal structure of 1,3‐bis(4,6‐diiso­propyl­sulfanyl‐1H‐pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidin‐1‐yl)­propane, C₂₅H₃₆N₈S₄, the pairs of pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine rings in the mol­ecule stack as a result of intramolecular π–π interactions between the heterocyclic rings. The crystal packing also exhibits an intermolecular C—H...π interaction between one methyl group of an iso­propyl group and a pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine ring.     

2‐(2‐Naphthyl­oxy)­acetate derivatives. II. A new class of antiamnesic agents

The title compounds, 4‐(2‐naphthyl­oxy­methyl­carbonyl)­morpholine, C₁₆H₁₇NO₃, (I), and 4‐methyl‐1‐(2‐naphthyl­oxy­methyl­carbonyl)­piper­azine, C₁₇H₂₀N₂O₂, (II), are potential antiamnesics. The morpholine ring in (I) and the piperazine ring in (II) adopt chair conformations. In (I), the mol­ecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⃛O interactions into chains that have a graph‐set motif of C(10), while in (II), the mol­ecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H⃛O interactions that generate two C(7) graph‐set motifs. The dihedral angle between the naphthalene moiety and the best plane through the morpholine ring is 20.62 (4)° in (I), while the naphthalene moiety is oriented nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the piperazine ring in (II).     

N‐{4‐Bromo‐2‐[(3‐bromo‐1‐phenylsulfonyl‐1H‐indol‐2‐yl)methyl]‐5‐methoxyphenyl}acetamide

In the title compound, C₂₄H₂₀Br₂N₂O₄S, the indole ring system is planar and the S atom has a distorted tetrahedral configuration. The sulfonyl‐bound phenyl ring is orthogonal to the indole ring system and the conformation of the phenyl­sulfonyl substituent with respect to the indole moiety is influenced by intramolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds involving the two sulfonyl O atoms. The mean plane through the acetyl­amido group makes a dihedral angle of 57.0 (1)° with the phenyl ring of the benzyl moiety. In the crystal, glide‐related mol­ecules are linked together by N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds and C—H⃛π interactions to form molecular chains, which extend through the crystal. Inversion‐related chains are interlinked by C—H⃛π interactions to form molecular layers parallel to the bc plane. These layers are interconnected through π–π interactions involving the five‐ and six‐membered rings of the indole moiety.     

A 1:1 adduct of hexa­methylene­tetramine and 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde

In the title complex, C₆H₁₂N₄·C₈H₈O₃, the hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine mol­ecule accepts a single intermolecular O—H?N hydrogen bond from the hydroxy group of the 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde moiety. The non‐centrosymmetric crystal structure is built from alternating molecular sheets of 4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxy­benz­aldehyde and hexa­methyl­ene­tetramine mol­ecules, and is stabilized by intermolecular O—H?N, C—H?O and C—H?π interactions.     

4‐[N,N‐Bis(2‐cyano­ethyl)­amino]­pyridine

The title compound, 3,3′‐(4‐pyridyl­imino)­di­propane­nitrile, C₁₁H₁₂N₄, has a twofold axis and consists of a pyridine ring head and two cyano­ethyl tails, the three groups being linked by an N atom. The planar geometry around the amino N atom suggests conjugation with the π‐system of the pyridine ring. The mol­ecules are stacked in a layer structure via relatively weak to very weak intermolecular C—H⃛π and C—H⃛N hydrogen‐bond interactions.     

C—H⋯O,C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions in three benzofuran‐2‐yl ketone derivatives

The mol­ecules of 2‐benzoyl‐1‐benzofuran, C₁₅H₁₀O₂, (I), inter­act through double C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers that are further linked by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions, resulting in a three‐dimensional supramolecular network. The dihedral angle between the benzo­yl and benzofuran fragments in (I) is 46.15 (3)°. The mol­ecules of bis­(5‐bromo‐1‐benzofuran‐2‐yl) ketone, C₁₇H₈Br₂O₃, (II), exhibit C₂ symmetry, with the carbon­yl group (C=O) lying along the twofold rotation axis, and are linked by a combination of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions and Br⋯Br contacts to form sheets. The stability of the mol­ecular packing in 3‐mesit­yl‐3‐methyl­cyclo­but­yl 3‐methyl­naphtho[1,2‐b]furan‐2‐yl ketone, C₂₈H₂₈O₂, (III), arises from C—H⋯π and π–π stacking inter­actions. The fused naphthofuran moiety in (III) is essentially planar and makes a dihedral angle of 81.61 (3)° with the mean plane of the trimethyl­benzene ring.     

1,3‐Bis(4‐nitro­phenyl)­triazene

The structure of the title compound, C₁₂H₉N₅O₄, reveals an almost planar mol­ecule (r.m.s. deviation = 0.061 Å), in which the interplanar angle between the phenyl rings is 5.7 (1)° and the largest interplanar angle is that between the phenyl ring and the nitro group of one of the 4‐nitro­phenyl substituents [8.8 (3)°]. The observed mol­ecular conformation suggests a delocalization of π‐electrons extended over the diazo­amine group and the terminal aryl substituents. Intermolecular N—H⃛O interactions between the twofold screw‐related mol­ecules give rise to helical chains along the [010] direction. Intermolecular C—H⃛O interactions then generate sheets of mol­ecules in the (10) plane, and these sheets are held together by N⃛C and O⃛O π–π interactions.     

The molecular and supramolecular structures of the isomeric compounds 5,7‐di­methoxy­imidazo­[1,2‐c]­pyrimidine and 7‐methoxy‐1‐methyl­imidazo­[1,2‐a]­pyrimidin‐5(1H)‐one

The supramolecular structures of the isomeric compounds 5,7‐di­methoxy­imidazo­[1,2‐c]­pyrimidine, C₈H₉N₃O₂, (I), and 7‐methoxy‐1‐methyl­imidazo­[1,2‐a]­pyrimidin‐5(1H)‐one, C₈H₉N₃O₂, (II), are determined by weak C—H⃛N and C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds in (I), which generate alternating linked centrosymmetric R(8) and R(10) rings that form a ribbon running parallel to the c axis, and by C—H⃛O bonds in (II), which link the mol­ecules into sheets comprising centro­symmetric R(10) and R(22) rings.     

A mixed crystal of imperatorin and phellopterin,with C—H...O,C—H...π and π–π interactions

The crystal structure of 9‐(3‐methyl­but‐2‐enyl­oxy)­‐7H‐furo­[3,2‐g]­chro­men‐7‐one–4‐methoxy‐9‐(3‐methyl­but‐2‐enyl­oxy)‐7H‐­furo­[3,2‐g]­chromen‐7‐one (0.926/0.074), 0.926C₁₆H₁₄O₄·0.074C₁₇H₁₆O₅, is characterized by two independent imperatorin mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, which exhibit different side‐chain conformations. A small amount of phellopterin overlaps with one of the two imperatorin mol­ecules. The supramol­ecular structure is supported by C—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions.     

(1R,3S)‐1‐Mono­amido­camphoric acid

The title compound, (1S,3R)‐3‐carbamoyl‐2,2,3‐tri­methyl­cyclo­pentane‐1‐carboxyl­ic acid, C₁₀H₁₇NO₃, was synthesized and characterized by IR, EA, ES–MS (electrospray ionization mass spectra), ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and X‐ray diffraction techniques. The two independent mol­ecules form a two‐dimensional network via O—H⃛O and N—H⃛O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between their carbox­ylic acid and carbamoyl groups.     

C—H⃛O and C—H⃛π interactions in 1‐acetyl‐4‐(p‐chloro­benzyl­idene­amino)‐3‐ethyl‐4,5‐di­hydro‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O₂, contains both a phenyl and a triazole ring, both of which are approximately coplanar with the entire mol­ecule. The triazole ring has substituents at the 1‐, 2‐ and 4‐positions. Intramolecular C—H⃛O and C—H⃛N interactions, together with intermolecular C—H⃛O and C—H⃛π interactions, help to stabilize the structure.     

4,6‐Bis­(methyl­sulfanyl)‐1‐(4‐phenoxy­butyl)‐1H‐pyrazolo­[3,4‐d]­pyrimidine

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₇H₂₀N₄OS₂, does not show any intramolecular aromatic π–π interactions, but the crystal packing reveals the presence of intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...π interactions. The C—H...O interactions generate chains of mol­ecules that are linked into sheets by C—H...π interactions about inversion centres.     

1,3,5‐Tris­(chloro­methyl)­benzene

The title compound, C₉H₉Cl₃, is being used as a platform for new tripodal receptors. Two mol­ecules make up the asymmetric unit; weak intermolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between methyl­ene H atoms and the chlorine of an adjacent mol­ecule. There are also C—H?π interactions.     

Self‐assembly of 2‐pivaloyl‐6‐chloro­pterin

In the title compound, N‐(6‐chloro‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐di­hydro­pteridin‐2‐yl)­‐2,2‐di­methyl­propan­amide, C₁₁H₁₂ClN₅O₂, the rings in the pterin moiety are planar. The amide carbonyl O atom is in syn‐periplanar conformation while the C—N—C—C propanamide linkage is antiperiplanar. The N—H?N and N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds transform the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

cis‐Tetra­carbonyl­[(4‐fluoro­phenyl)di­phenyl­phosphine‐P](piperidine‐N)molybdenum(0)

The title mol­ecule, [Mo{P(C₆H₅)₂(C₆H₄F)}(HNC₅H₁₀)(CO)₄] or [Mo(C₁₈H₁₄FP)(C₅H₁₁N)(CO)₄], has irregular octahedral geometry about the Mo atom. The mol­ecules form a complicated hydrogen‐bonded network comprising C—H?O, C—H?F and C—H?π hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The C—H?π and π–π interactions form chains containing C—H?π/π–π dimers linked via C—H?π interactions and the chains are linked into a three‐dimensional network via C—H?O and C—H?F hydrogen bonds.     

9,9‐Dimethoxy‐7,11‐diphenyl‐2,4‐diazaspiro[5.5]undecane‐1,3,5‐trione monohydrate

Due to steric repulsions, the cyclo­hexane ring in the title compound, C₂₃H₂₄N₂O₅·H₂O, shows some bond‐length abnormalities and adopts a chair conformation. The pyrimidine and cyclo­hexane rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, and the phenyl rings are equatorial. C—H?π and N—H?O intermolecular interactions, as well as C—H?O inter‐ and intramolecular interactions, occur between the mol­ecules. In addition to van der Waals interactions, the water mol­ecule interacts with the pyrimidine­trione ring to stabilize the structure.
