Molecules of the title compounds N²‐(benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₂, (I), N²‐(2‐hydroxy­benzoyl­oxy)­benz­ami­dine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (II), and N²‐benzoyloxy‐2‐hydroxybenzamidine, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₃, (III), all have extended chain conformations, with the aryl groups remote from one another. In (I), the mol­ecules are linked into chains by a single N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.15 Å, N⋯N = 3.029 (2) Å and N—H⋯N = 153°] and these chains are linked into sheets by means of aromatic π–π stacking interactions. There is one intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond in (II), and a combination of one three‐centre N—H⋯(N,O) hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.46 Å, H⋯O = 2.31 Å, N⋯N = 3.190 (2) Å, N⋯O = 3.146 (2) Å, N—H⋯N = 138° and N—H⋯O = 154°] and one two‐centre C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.46 Å, C⋯O = 3.405 (2) Å and C—H⋯O = 173°] links the mol­ecules into sheets. In (III), an intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.26 and 2.10 Å, N⋯O = 2.975 (2) and 2.954 (2) Å, and N—H⋯O = 138 and 163°] link the molecules into sheets.

2‐Amino‐5‐nitro­thia­zole crystallizes from solution in ethanol as a monosolvate, C₃H₃N₃O₂S·C₂H₆O, in which the thia­zole component has a strongly polarized molecular–electronic structure. The thia­zole mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by paired N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 2.09 Å, N⋯N = 2.960 (6) Å and N—H⋯N = 169°], and these dimers are linked by the ethanol mol­ecules, via a two‐centred N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, N⋯O = 2.838 (5) Å and N—H⋯O = 164°] and a planar asymmetric three‐centred O—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.07 and 2.53 Å, O⋯O = 2.900 (5) and 3.188 (5) Å, O—H⋯O = 169 and 136°, and O⋯H⋯O = 55°], into sheets built from alternating (8) and (38) rings. These sheets are triply interwoven.     

π‐Stacked hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid,and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of 2‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid

Molecules of 2‐(2‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₅, are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by a single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.623 (2) Å and O—H⋯O = 178°] and these dimers are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.

In the orthorhombic form (space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z′ = 1, crystallized from ethanol), the mol­ecules are linked into sheets of R(22) rings by a combination of one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.96 Å, N⋯O = 2.833 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 171°] and one O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H⋯O = 173°]. In the monoclinic form (space group P2₁/n with Z′ = 2, crystallized from acetone), the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.09 and 2.16 Å, N⋯O = 2.873 (4) and 2.902 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 147 and 141°] and two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.84 and 1.83 Å, O⋯O = 2.664 (3) and 2.666 (3) Å, and O—H⋯O = 166 and 174°] into sheets of some complexity. These sheets are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.45 Å, C⋯O = 3.355 (4) Å and C—­H⋯O = 160°].     

2‐[(2‐Hydro­xy‐4‐nitro­phenyl)­amino­methyl­ene]­cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₀N₂O₄, adopts the keto–amine tautomeric form and displays an intramolecular N—H⋯O [N⋯O = 2.579 (2) Å] and three intermolecular O—H⋯O [O⋯O = 2.561 (2) Å] and C—H⋯O [C⋯O = 3.274 (2) and 3.318 (2) Å] hydrogen bonds. The keto–amine structure is favoured by through‐mol­ecule conjugation between the hydroxy O atom and imine N atom. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 10.79 (4)°.     

(−)‐3,7‐Dioxo‐5β‐cholanic acid: dual hydrogen‐bonding modes in a diketonic bile‐acid derivative

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₄H₃₆O₄, contains three mol­ecules, all differing in their side‐chain conformations and all linked by hydrogen bonding confined entirely within a three‐mol­ecule block. One connection is of the acid‐to‐ketone type [O⋯O = 2.7055 (19) Å and O—H⋯O = 180°] and the other involves carboxyl pairing [O⋯O = 2.6485 (18) and 2.6598 (18) Å, and O—H⋯O = 168 and 174°]. Numerous inter­molecular C—H⋯O close contacts connect neighbouring mol­ecules.     

(2S,RS)‐6‐Phenyl‐1‐(p‐tolyl­sulfinyl)­hexa‐3(E),5(E)‐dien‐2‐ol

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₁₉H₂₀O₂S, corresponds to a chiral sulfinyldienol with two stereogenic centres, viz. the C atom susbtituted by the hydr­oxy group and the sulfinyl S atom. The mol­ecule displays a V‐shape in the solid state. The dihedral angle defined by the least‐squares planes of the aromatic rings is 72.9 (1)°. The packing pattern exhibits the following inter­molecular hydrogen bonds: one O—H⋯O [H⋯O = 1.98 Å, O⋯O = 2.785 (4) Å and O—H⋯O = 166°] and two C—H⋯O [H⋯O = 2.58 and 2.60 Å, C⋯O = 3.527 (5) and 3.347 (5) Å, and C—H⋯O = 164 and 134°]. These define a chain along b.     

Bis­[bis­(pyrimidin‐2‐yl‐κN)­amine](dicyan­amido‐κN1)(tri­fluoro­methanesulfonato‐κO)copper(II) ethanol hemisolvate forms a hydrogen‐bonded chain

In the crystal structure of [Cu(CF₃SO₃)(C₂N₃)(C₈H₇N₅)₂]·0.5C₂H₆O, the Cu^II atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, with the basal plane formed by two N atoms of one dipyrimidinyl­amine ligand, one N atom of the second pyrimidine ligand and a nitrile N atom of the dicyan­amide anion [Cu—N = 1.972 (2)–2.021 (2) Å]. The apical positions are occupied by an N atom of the second ligand [Cu—N = 2.208 (2) Å], and an O atom of the tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate anion [Cu—O = 2.747 (2) Å] at a semi‐coordination distance. Pairs of inversion‐related N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds of the so‐called Watson–Crick type, augmented by two C—H⋯N contacts, link adjacent complexes into an infinite one‐dimensional chain running in the [101] direction.     

4‐Amino‐N‐isopropyl­benzamidinium chloride ethanol solvate

The title compound, C₁₀H₁₆N·Cl⁻·C₂H₆O, is an important intermediate in the convergent synthesis of amidine‐substituted polycyclic heterocycles, a class of compounds that shows significant anticancer activity. The molecule of (I) is not planar, having a dihedral angle of 25.00 (7)° between the aniline and amidine (–C—NH=C=NH₂) groups. The proton­ation of the amidine molecular fragment is accompanied by delocalized C—N bond distances of 1.320 (2) and 1.317 (2) Å. The cations and chloride anions are involved in a network of hydrogen bonds, resulting in the formation of infinite chains propagating along the b direction. The chains are further grouped within the ab plane, in such a way that the structure is segregated into layers dominated by hydro­phobic interactions involving N‐isopropyl residues and layers dominated by N—H⋯Cl [N⋯Cl = 3.275 (2)–3.596 (2) Å], O—H⋯Cl [O⋯Cl = 3.229 (3) Å] and N—H⋯O [N⋯O = 2.965 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds.     

N‐Benzoylthiourea

In the title compound, C₈H₈N₂OS, strong intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [N⋯O = 2.669 (3) and 2.618 (3) Å] form almost planar six‐membered rings and enforce the conformation of the mol­ecule. Two kinds of intermolecular N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds [N⋯S = 3.309 (3)–3.456 (2) Å] between two symmetry‐independent mol­ecules form consecutive dimers that expand in ribbons along the [100] direction.     

catena‐Poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)­silver(I)]‐μ‐nicotinato] and catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato]

In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐nico­tinato‐κ²N:O], [Ag(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom is tetracoordinated by two N atoms from the di‐2‐pyridyl­amine (BPA) ligand [Ag—N = 2.3785 (18) and 2.3298 (18) Å] and by one N atom and one carboxyl­ate O atom from nicotinate ligands [Ag—N = 2.2827 (15) Å and Ag—O = 2.3636 (14) Å]. Bridging by nicotinate N and O atoms generates a polymeric chain structure, which extends along [100]. The carboxyl O atom not bonded to the Ag atom takes part in an intrachain C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, further stabilizing the chain. Pairs of chains are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate ribbons. There are no π–π interactions in this complex. In catena‐poly­[[(di‐2‐pyridyl­amine‐κ²N,N′)silver(I)]‐μ‐2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoato‐κ²O¹:O²], [Ag(C₇H₅O₄)(C₁₀H₉N₃)]_n, the Ag^I atom has a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with three strong bonds to two pyridine N atoms from the BPA ligand [Ag—N = 2.286 (5) and 2.320 (5) Å] and to one carboxyl­ate O atom from the 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligand [Ag—O = 2.222 (4) Å]; the fourth, weaker, Ag‐atom coordination is to one of the phenol O atoms [Ag⋯O = 2.703 (4) Å] of an adjacent moiety, and this interaction generates a polymeric chain along [100]. Pairs of chains are linked about inversion centers by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form ribbons, within which there are π–π interactions. The ribbons are linked about inversion centers by pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and additional π–π interactions between inversion‐related pairs of 2,6‐di­hydroxy­benzoate ligands to generate a three‐dimensional network.     

5‐Amino‐3‐tert‐butyl‐1‐(4‐nitro­phen­yl)‐1H‐pyrazole forms hydrogen‐bonded sheets of alternating R(20) and R(32) rings

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₆N₄O₂, are linked by one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.47 Å, N⋯O = 3.326 (2) Å and N—H⋯O = 166°] and one N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.19 Å, N⋯N = 3.063 (2) Å and N—H⋯N = 173°] into sheets containing alternating (20) and (32) rings, both types of which are centrosymmetric.     

Ferrocene compounds. XXXIV. 1′‐(tert‐Butoxycarbonylamino)ferrocene‐1‐carboxylic acid

Heteroannularly substituted ferrocene derivatives can act as model systems for various hydrogen‐bonded assemblies of biomol­ecules formed, for instance, by means of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The crystal structure analysis of 1′‐(tert‐butoxy­carbonyl­amino)­ferrocene‐1‐carbox­ylic acid, [Fe(C₁₀H₁₄NO₂)(C₆H₅O₂)] or (C₅H₄COOH)Fe(C₅­H₄NHCOOC(CH₃)₃, reveals two independent mol­ecules within the asymmetric unit, and these are joined into discrete dimers by two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds, viz. O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O. The –COOH and –NHCOOR groups are archetypes for dimer formation via two eight‐membered rings. The O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [2.656 (3) and 2.663 (3) Å] form a cyclic carboxylic acid dimer motif. Another eight‐membered ring is formed by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [2.827 (3) and 2.854 (3) Å] between the N—H group and an O atom of another carbamoyl moiety. The dimers are assembled in a herring‐bone fashion in the bc plane.     

6‐Amino‐2‐(3,4‐di­methoxy­benzyl­amino)‐3‐methyl‐5‐nitro­so­pyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one: hydrogen‐bonded sheets form interdigitated bilayers

Molecules of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₇N₅O₄, exhibit a highly polarized molecular–electronic structure.

Pairs of sheets, related by inversion, form bilayers with interdigitated di­methoxy­benzyl substituents, weakly linked by a further C—H⋯O interaction [H⋯O = 2.50 Å, C⋯O = 3.350 (2) Å and C—H⋯O = 146°].     

Tri­phenyl­phosphine oxide–1‐naphthoic acid (1/1)

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₅OP·C₁₁H₈O₂, co‐crystallization of tri­phenyl­phosphine oxide with 1‐naphthoic acid yields a supramolecular structure held together by one O—H⋯O and three C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.592 (2) Å] has little effect on the O=P bond distance.     

Tris­[(R)‐lact­amide‐κ2O,O′]­zinc(II) tetra­bromo­zincate

The title compound, tris­[(R)‐2‐hydroxy­propan­amide‐κ²O,O′]­zinc(II) tetra­bromo­zincate, [Zn(C₃H₇NO₂)₃][ZnBr₄], contains one monomeric six‐coordinate zinc complex cation and one tetrahedral [ZnBr₄]²⁻ anion. Both Zn^II atoms lie on threefold axes. Coordination in the cation occurs via the amide and hydroxy O atoms [Zn—O = 2.074 (5) and 2.073 (6) Å] and has a distorted octahedral geometry, with cis‐O—Zn—O angles in the range 76.2 (2)–109.2 (2)°. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯Br and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, generating a three‐dimensional network.

The title salt, methyl (1R,2R,3S,5S,8S)‐3‐benzoyl­oxy‐8‐methyl‐8‐aza­bicyclo­[3.2.1]octane‐2‐carboxyl­ate tetra­chloro­aurate(III), (C₁₇H₂₂NO₄)[AuCl₄], has its protonated N atom intra­molecularly hydrogen bonded to the O atom of the methoxy­carbonyl group [N⋯O = 2.755 (6) Å and N—H⋯O = 136°]. Two close inter­molecular C—H⋯O contacts exist, as well as five C—H⋯Cl close contacts. The [AuCl₄]⁻ anion was found to be distorted square planar.

In the title compound, 2C₈H₁₂N⁺·2C₄H₃N₄O₄⁻·C₈H₁₁N, the anions are linked by paired N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds [H⋯N = 2.07 and 2.11 Å, N⋯N = 2.942 (3) and 2.978 (3) Å and N—H⋯N = 173 and 170°] and by paired N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.98 and 2.05 Å, N⋯O = 2.855 (3) and 2.917 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 173 and 167°] into chains of rings. These chains are linked into sheets by further N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in which all of the donors are provided by the cations [H⋯O = 1.83–2.17 Å, N⋯O = 2.747 (3)–2.965 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 141–168°]. The neutral amine molecule is pendent from the sheet and is linked to it by a single N—H⋯N hydrogen bond [H⋯N = 2.00 Å, N⋯N = 2.901 (3) Å and N—H⋯N = 175°].     

Hydro­gen‐bond networks in tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane and its 1:1 molecular complex with 4,4′‐bi­pyridine

In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane (or 4,4′,4′′‐methane­triyl­tri­phenol), C₁₉H₁₆O₃, mol­ecules are connected by O—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [O⃛O = 2.662 (2) and 2.648 (2) Å] into two‐dimensional square networks that are twofold interpenetrated. In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane–4,4′‐bi­pyridine (1/1), C₁₉H₁₆O₃·C₁₀H₈N₂, trisphenol mol­ecules form rectangular networks via O—H⃛O [O⃛O = 2.694 (3) Å] and C—H⃛O [C⃛O = 3.384 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds. Bi­pyridine mol­ecules hydrogen bonded to phenol moieties [O⃛N = 2.622 (3) and 2.764 (3) Å] fill the voids to complete the structure.     

(+)‐Camphor­acetic acid: catemeric hydrogen bonding in a γ‐keto acid

The title compound, (1R)‐4,7,7‐tri­methyl‐3‐oxobi­cyclo­[2.2.1]­heptane‐2‐endo‐acetic acid, C₁₂H₁₈O₃, like its lower homolog, forms carboxyl‐to‐ketone hydrogen‐bonding catemers (Z′ = 2) [O⋯O = 2.729 (5) and 2.707 (5) Å, and O—H⋯O = 165 and 170°] with screw‐related components. The two mol­ecules of the asymmetric unit differ slightly in conformation and produce two counter‐aligned hydrogen‐bonding chains, both aligned with the b axis. Close intermolecular C—H⋯O=C contacts exist for the ketone group of one mol­ecule and for both the ketone and carboxyl functions in the other.     

1,4,7,10‐Tetra­oxacyclo­dodeca­ne–triphenyl­methane­thiol (1/2)

In the centrosymmetric formula unit of the title complex, C₈H₁₆O₄·2C₁₈H₁₆S, the 1,4,7,10‐tetra­oxacyclo­dodecane mol­ecule adopts the biangular [66] conformation, and the triphenyl­methane­thiol mol­ecules are linked to the macrocycle via a long S—H⋯O hydrogen bond [S⋯O = 3.460 (2) Å and S—H⋯O = 161 (2)°]. Attractive inter­actions of phenyl groups in edge‐to‐face conformations combine inversion‐related formula units into chains running along the [111] direction in the crystal structure. Association of the chains into sheets is achieved via C—H⋯π inter­actions.
