C[triple‐bond]C—H systems as hydrogen‐bond donors and acceptors: trans‐1,2‐diethynylcyclo­hexane‐1,2‐diol and trans‐1,4‐diprop‐2‐ynylcyclo­hexane‐1,4‐diol monohydrate

The title 1,2‐diol derivative, C₁₀H₁₂O₂, crystallizes with two independent but closely similar mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Only two of the four OH groups are involved in classical hydrogen bonding; the mol­ecules thereby associate to form chains parallel to the short c axis. The other two OH groups are involved in O—H⋯(C[triple‐bond]C) systems. Additionally, three of the four C[triple‐bond]C—H groups act as donors in C—H⋯O inter­actions. The 1,4‐diol derivative crystallizes with two independent half‐mol­ecules of the diol (each associated with an inversion centre) and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, C₁₂H₁₆O₂·H₂O. Both OH groups and one water H atom act as classical hydrogen‐bond donors, leading to layers parallel to the ac plane. The second water H atom is involved in a three‐centre contact to two C[triple‐bond]C bonds. One acetyl­enic H atom makes a very short `weak' hydrogen bond to a hydr­oxy O atom, and the other is part of a three‐centre system in which the acceptors are a hydroxy O atom and a C[triple‐bond]C bond.     

4‐Fluoro‐2‐(phospho­no­methyl)­benzene­sulfonic acid monohydrate

The title compound, C₇H₈FO₆PS·H₂O, contains both phospho­nic and sulfonic acid functionalities. An extensive network of O—H?O hydrogen bonds is present in the crystal structure. The three acidic protons are associated with the phospho­nate group. Two protons experience typical hydrogen‐bond contacts with the sulfonate‐O atoms, while the third has a longer covalent bond of 1.05 (3) Å to the phospho­nate‐O atom and a short hydrogen‐bond contact of 1.38 (3) Å to the water O atom (all O—H?O angles are in the range 162–175°). The sulfonate group is positioned so that one S—O bond is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring [torsion angle O—S—C—C ?8.6 (2)°]. The phospho­nate group is oriented approximately perpendicular to the ring [torsion angle P—C—C—C 99.2 (2)°] with one P—O bond anti to the benzyl C—C bond. The mol­ecules pack in layers in the b–c plane with the water mol­ecules in between adjacent pairs of inverted layers.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(5‐carboxy‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxyl­ato‐κ2N3,O4)­cobalt(II) 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvate

In the title compound, [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂]·C₁₀H₈N₂, the Co atom is trans‐coordinated by two pairs of N and O atoms from two monoanionic 4,5‐di­carboxy­imidazole ligands, and by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol­ecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The 4,4′‐bi­pyridine solvent molecule is not involved in coordination but is linked by an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond to the neutral [Co(C₅H₃N₂O₄)₂(H₂O)₂] mol­ecule. Both mol­ecules are located on inversion centers. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which produce a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded network. Offset π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings of adjacent 4,4′‐bi­pyridine molecules were observed, with a face‐to‐face distance of 3.345 (1) Å.     

Cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of isoquinoline‐1‐carboxylate

trans‐Di­aqua­bis­(iso­quinoline‐1‐carboxyl­ato‐κ²N,O)­cobalt(II) dihydrate, [Co(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, and trans‐di­aqua­bis­(iso­quinoline‐1‐carboxyl­ato‐κ²N,O)­nickel(II) dihydrate, [Ni(C₁₀H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, contain the same isoquinoline ligand, with both metal atoms residing on a centre of symmetry and having the same distorted octahedral coordination. In the former complex, the Co—O(water) bond length in the axial direction is 2.167 (2) Å, which is longer than the Co—O(carboxylate) and Co—N bond lengths in the equatorial plane [2.055 (2) and 2.096 (2) Å, respectively]. In the latter complex, the corresponding bond lengths for Ni—O(water), Ni—O(carboxylate) and Ni—N are 2.127 (2), 2.036 (2) and 2.039 (3) Å, respectively. Both crystals are stabilized by similar stacking interactions of the ligand, and also by hydrogen bonds between the hydrate and coordinated water molecules.     

The CoIII—C bond in (1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclodecyl‐κ3N4,N7,C10)(1,4,7‐triazacyclononane‐κ3N1,N4,N7)cobalt(III) dithionate hydrate

In the title compound, [Co(C₆H₁₅N₃)(C₇H₁₅N₂S)]S₂O₆·H₂O, the Co—C bond distance is 1.9930 (13) Å, which is shorter than for related compounds with the linear 1,6‐di­amino‐3‐thia­hexan‐4‐ide anion in place of the macrocyclic 1‐thia‐4,7‐diazacyclo­decan‐8‐ide anion. The coordinated carbanion produces an elongation of 0.102 (7) Å of the Co—N bond to the 1,4,7‐tri­aza­cyclo­nonane N atom in the trans position. This relatively small trans influence is presumably a result of the tri­amine ligand forming strong bonds to the Co^III atom.     

Tris(8‐quinolinolato‐N,O)­cobalt(III) ethanol solvate

In the crystal of the title complex, [Co(C₉H₆NO)₃]·C₂H₅OH, the central Co atom has a distorted octahedral coordination comprised of three N atoms and three O atoms from the three 8‐quinolinolato ligands. The three Co—O bond distances are in the range 1.887 (2)–1.910 (2) Å, while the three Co—N bond distances range from 1.919 (2) to 1.934 (2) Å. The solvent ethanol mol­ecule forms an intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonding with a quinolinolato ligand.     

catena‐Poly­[[tetra­aqua­iron(II)]‐μ‐succinato‐κ2O:O′]

The title complex, {[Fe(C₄H₄O₄)(H₂O)₄]}_n, is an infinite poly­meric compound bridged by the succinate dianion. Two carboxyl­ate groups coordinate in a monodentate manner to the Fe^II atom, in a trans fashion, with an O—Fe—O bond angle of 175.72 (6)° and Fe—O distances of 2.0886 (14) and 2.1008 (15) Å. One of the uncoordinated carboxyl­ate O atom forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a coordinated water mol­ecule. Extensive hydrogen bonding between parallel poly­meric complex chains results in a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure.     

catena‐Poly[[[N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III)]‐μ‐azido] and catena‐poly[[[N,N′‐bis(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato]

The two title complexes, catena‐poly[[{2,2′‐[1,3‐propane­diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}cobalt(III)]‐μ‐azido], [Co(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(N₃)]_n, (I), and catena‐poly[[{2,2′‐[1,3‐propane­diylbis(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]diphenolato}cobalt(III)]‐μ‐thio­cyanato], [Co(C₁₇H₁₆N₂O₂)(NCS)]_n, (II), are isomorphous polynuclear cobalt(III) compounds. In both structures, the Co^III atom is six‐coordinated in an octa­hedral configuration by two N atoms and two O atoms of one Schiff base, and two terminal N or S atoms from two bridging ligands. The [N,N′‐bis­(salicyl­idene)propane‐1,3‐diaminato]cobalt(III) moieties are linked by the bridging ligands, viz. azide in (I) and thio­cyanate in (II), giving zigzag polymeric chains with backbones of the type [–Co—N—N—N—Co]_n in (I) or [–Co—N—C—S—Co]_n in (II) running along the c axis.     

Two solid phases of pyrimidin‐1‐ium hydrogen chloranilate monohydrate determined at 225 and 120 K

The crystal structures of two solid phases of the title compound, C₄H₅N₂⁺·C₆HCl₂O₄⁻·H₂O, have been determined at 225 and 120 K. In the high‐temperature phase, stable above 198 K, the transition temperature of which has been determined by ³⁵Cl nuclear quadrupole resonance and differential thermal analysis measurements, the three components are held together by O—H...O, N...H...O, C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a centrosymmetric 2+2+2 aggregate. In the N...H...O hydrogen bond formed between the pyrimidin‐1‐ium cation and the water molecule, the H atom is disordered over two positions, resulting in two states, viz. pyrimidin‐1‐ium–water and pyrimidine–oxonium. In the low‐temperature phase, the title compound crystallizes in the same monoclinic space group and has a similar molecular packing, but the 2+2+2 aggregate loses the centrosymmetry, resulting in a doubling of the unit cell and two crystallographically independent molecules for each component in the asymmetric unit. The H atom in one N...H...O hydrogen bond between the pyrimidin‐1‐ium cation and the water molecule is disordered, while the H atom in the other hydrogen bond is found to be ordered at the N‐atom site with a long N—H distance [1.10 (3) Å].     

Bis[diaquabis(2,2‐bipyridine N,N′‐dioxide‐κ2O,O′)cobalt(II)] ξ‐octamolybdate dihydrate

The title organic–inorganic hybrid compound, [Co(C₁₀H₈N₂O₂)₂(H₂O)₂]₂[Mo₈O₂₆]·2H₂O, consists of [Co(bpdo)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ (bpdo is 2,2‐bipyridine N,N′‐dioxide) and ξ‐[Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ groups in a 2:1 ratio, plus two water solvent molecules. The independent Co atom in the cation is coordinated by four O atoms from two bpdo ligands and two water molecules, in a distorted octahedral geometry. The counter‐anions, built up around a symmetry center, are linked by solvent water molecules through O—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate two‐dimensional layers, which are in turn linked by coordinated water molecules from the cationic units through further O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three‐dimensional supramolecular structure.     

2,2′‐Anhydro‐1‐(3′,5′‐di‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)uracil,a cyclouridine nucleoside with a C4′‐endo furanosyl conformation

2,2′‐Anhydro‐1‐(3′,5′‐di‐O‐acetyl‐β‐D‐arabinofuranosyl)uracil, C₁₃H₁₄N₂O₇, was obtained by refluxing 2′,3′‐O‐(methoxymethylene)uridine in acetic anhydride. The structure exhibits a nearly perfect C4′‐endo (⁴E) conformation. The best four‐atom plane of the five‐membered furanose ring is O—C—C—C, involving the C atoms of the fused five‐membered oxazolidine ring, and the torsion angle is only −0.4 (2)°. The oxazolidine ring is essentially coplanar with the six‐membered uracil ring [r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 (5) Å and dihedral angle = −3.2 (3)°]. The conformation at the exocyclic C—C bond is gauche–trans which is stabilized by various C—H...π and C—O...π interactions.     

Tris[N‐(4‐fluorophenyl)pyridine‐2‐carboxamidato‐κ2N,N′]cobalt(III) trihydrate: a novel meridional complex

The title complex, [Co(C₁₂H₈FN₂O)₃]·3H₂O, has been synthesized for the first time. The complex comprises three bidentate ligands containing the pyridine‐2‐carbox­amide stem. The distorted octahedral coordination around the Co atom is formed via the pyridine (py) N atom and the deprotonated amide N atom of each ligand, with the three pyridine rings in a meridional arrangement. For each ligand, the pyridine ring and the carbonyl group are nearly coplanar, with torsion angles in the range 0.4 (3)–4.8 (4)°. The Co—N_py distances [1.9258 (16)–1.9656 (17) Å] are shorter than the corresponding Co—N_amide distances [1.9372 (17)–1.9873 (15) Å]. In addition, the Co—N_py distances are closely related to the magnitudes of the chelate angles, a shorter Co—N_py distance corresponding to a larger angle. Five intermolecular hydrogen bonds, involving carbonyl O atoms of the ligands and lattice water mol­ecules, lead to the formation of a mesh structure.     

{μ‐N,N′‐Bis[3‐(dimethyl­amino)prop­yl]­oxamidato(2–)‐κ6N,N′,O′:N′′,N′′′,O}­bis­[(1H‐imidazole‐κN3)(methanol‐κO)copper(II)] bis­(perchlorate)

The structure of the title compound, [Cu₂(C₁₂H₂₄N₄O₂)(C₃H₄N₂)₂(CH₄O)₂](ClO₄)₂ or [Cu₂(dmoxpn)(HIm)₂(CH₃OH)₂](ClO₄)₂, where dmoxpn is the dianion of N,N′‐bis­[3‐(dimethyl­amino)prop­yl]oxamide and HIm is imidazole, consists of a centrosymmetric trans‐oxamidate‐bridged copper(II) binuclear cation, having an inversion centre at the mid‐point of the central C—C bond, and two perchlorate anions. The Cu^II atom has square‐pyramidal coordination geometry involving two N atoms and an O atom from the dmoxpn ligand, an N atom from an imidazole ring, and an O atom from a methanol mol­ecule. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and imidazole π–π stacking inter­actions to form a three‐dimensional supra­molecular array.     

trans‐Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide‐κO)bis(3‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinoxaline‐2‐carboxylato‐κ2N1,O2)copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C₉H₅N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₆OS)₂], consists of octahedrally coordinated Cu^II ions, with the 3‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinoxaline‐2‐carboxylate ligands acting in a bidentate manner [Cu—O = 1.9116 (14) Å and Cu—N = 2.1191 (16) Å] and a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecule coordinated axially via the O atom [Cu—O = 2.336 (5) and 2.418 (7) Å for the major and minor disorder components, respectively]. The whole DMSO molecule exhibits positional disorder [0.62 (1):0.38 (1)]. The octahedron around the Cu^II atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is elongated in the axial direction, exhibiting a Jahn–Teller effect. The ligand exhibits tautomerization by H‐atom transfer from the hydroxyl group at position 3 to the N atom at position 4 of the quinoxaline ring of the ligand. The complex molecules are linked through an intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond [N...O = 2.838 (2) Å] formed between the quinoxaline NH group and a carboxylate O atom, and by a weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond [3.392 (11) Å] formed between a carboxylate O atom and a methyl C atom of the DMSO ligand. There is a weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond [3.065 (3) Å] formed between a benzene CH group and a carboxylate O atom.     

trans‐Di­aqua­bis(N‐acetyl­anthranilato‐O,O′)copper(II)

The title monomeric copper(II) complex, [Cu(C₉H₈NO₃)₂(H₂O)₂], (I), shows a square‐planar coordination and has an inversion centre at the Cu atom. The carboxyl­ate group of the N‐acetyl­anthranilate ion acts as a monodentate donor ligand to copper and as an acceptor of an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond from the coordinated water mol­ecule, with an O?O distance of 2.581 (2) Å.     

N‐tert‐Butyl‐N′‐[5‐cyano‐2‐(4‐methylphenoxy)phenylsulfonyl]urea,a new TXA2 receptor antagonist

The title compound, C₁₉H₂₁N₃O₄S, crystallizes in the space group P2/c with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation of both molecules is very similar and is mainly determined by an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between a urea N atom and a sulfonyl O atom. The O and second N atom of the urea groups are involved in dimer formation via N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The intramolecular hydrogen‐bonding motif and conformation of the C—SO₂—NH(C=O)—NH—C fragment are explored and compared using the Cambridge Structural Database and theoretical calculations. The crystal packing is characterized by π–π stacking between the 5‐cyanobenzene rings.     

{2‐[(3‐Amino­propyl)­amino­propyl­imino­methyl]­imidazol­ato‐N,N′,N′′,N′′′}­(methanol‐O)­copper(II) per­chlorate

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₈N₅)(CH₄O)]ClO₄, four N atoms from the deprotonated ligand derived from bis(3‐amino­propyl)­amine and 2‐imidazole­carbox­aldehyde are coordinated to the Cu atom. The four N atoms occupy equatorial positions with Cu—N bond distances ranging from 1.998 (2) to 2.046 (3) Å. The methanol O atom occupies one axial position with a Cu—O bond distance of 2.295 (2) Å.     

Aqua­chloro(1,10‐phenanthroline‐κ2N,N′)(p‐toluenesulfonato‐κO)copper(II)

In the title compound, [CuCl(C₇H₇O₃S)(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)], the central Cu atom is coordinated by a water mol­ecule, a chloride ion, an O‐monodentate p‐toluene­sulfonate anion and an N,N′‐bidentate 1,10‐phenanthroline ligand. The copper environment is best described as a slightly distorted square pyramid, with bond distances Cu—Cl 2.2282 (9) Å, Cu—OW 1.984 (3) Å, and Cu—N 2.006 (3) and 2.028 (3) Å; the apical Cu—O distance is 2.281 (2) Å. In the supramolecular structure, π–π‐stacking stabilization is observed, and classical and non‐classical hydrogen bonds also play an important role.     

Two new thiophosphoramide structures: N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide and O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate

The compound N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexylphosphorothioic triamide, C₁₈H₃₆N₃PS or P(S)[NHC₆H₁₁]₃, (I), crystallizes in the space group Pnma with the molecule lying across a mirror plane; one N atom lies on the mirror plane, whereas the bond‐angle sum at the other N atom has a deviation of some 8° from the ideal value of 360° for a planar configuration. The orientation of the atoms attached to this nonplanar N atom corresponds to an anti orientation of the corresponding lone electron pair (LEP) with respect to the P=S group. The P=S bond length of 1.9785 (6) Å is within the expected range for compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton; however, it is in the region of the longest bond lengths found for analogous structures. This may be due to the involvement of the P=S group in N—H...S=P hydrogen bonds. In O,O′‐diethyl (2‐phenylhydrazin‐1‐yl)thiophosphonate, C₁₀H₁₇N₂O₂PS or P(S)[OC₂H₅]₂[NHNHC₆H₅], (II), the bond‐angle sum at the N atom attached to the phenyl ring is 345.1°, whereas, for the N atom bonded to the P atom, a practically planar environment is observed, with a bond‐angle sum of 359.1°. A Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Allen (2002). Acta Cryst. B 58 , 380–388] analysis shows a shift of the maximum population of P=S bond lengths in compounds with a P(S)[O]₂[N] skeleton to the shorter bond lengths relative to compounds with a P(S)[N]₃ skeleton. The influence of this difference on the collective tendencies of N...S distances in N—H...S hydrogen bonds for structures with P(S)[N]₃ and P(S)[O]₂[N] segments were studied through a CSD analysis.     

2,8‐Di­hydroxy‐1,3,7,9‐tetra­methyl‐6,12‐di­hydro­dipyrido­[1,2‐a:1′,2′‐d]pyrazine­diyl­ium dichloride dihydrate

The 2,8‐di­hydroxy‐1,3,7,9‐tetra­methyl‐6,12‐di­hydro­di­pyrido[1,2‐a:1′,2′‐d]pyrazine­diyl­ium dication possesses 2/m symmetry and lies in the mirror plane together with a chloride anion and the water O atom. The dication also lies on an inversion centre, i.e. C₁₆H₂₀N₂O₂²⁺·2Cl^?·2H₂O. Due to these symmetry constrictions the dication adopts an unexpected planar conformation. Molecules are linked by O—H?O and O—H?Cl hydrogen bonds to form chains, which are cross‐connected by C—H?Cl attractive interactions forming a complex three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bond network.
