N-(3-pyridil)-2-oxo-1-naphthylidenemethylamine (C₁₆H₁₂N₂O) was studied by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and UV–visible techniques and X-ray diffraction methods. The UV–visible spectrum of the compound was investigated in solutions effect polarity. The polarity of the some solvents was modifierly the additional (CF₃COOH) and [(C₂H₅)₃N]. The compound is in tautomeric equilibrium (phenol-imine O–H···N and keto-amine O···H–N forms) in polar and nonpolar solvents. The keto-amine form is observed in basic solutions of DMSO, ethanol, chloroform, benzene, cyclohexane, and in acidic solutions of chloroform and benzene, but not in acidic solutions of DMSO and ethanol. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P2₁/a with a = 7.010(5) Å, b = 13.669(4) Å, c = 12.764(4) Å, = 101.23(4)°, V = 1199.6(10) ų, Z = 4, D _c = 1.375 g/cm³, (Mo K) = 0.088 mm^–1, R = 0.045 for 1658 reflections [I > 2(I)]. The title compound is not planar two Schiff base moieties A [C1–C11, O1] and B [N1, C12, C13, N2, C14, C15, C16] are inclined at an angle of 27.4(1)° reflecting mainly the twist about C12–N1 [C11–C12–N1–C13, 29.7(2)°]. There is a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond (O–H···N) of 2.529(2) Å.     

Crystal structure and hydrogen bonding of propargylammonium hexafluorosilicate, 2(C3H6N)+ (SiF6)2?

The X-ray crystal structure of propargylammonium hexafluorosilicate, 2(C₃H₆N)⁺ (SiF₆)²⁻, is determined. The SiF₆ anion is involved in N−H...F and C−H...F interactions with eight surrounding cations. This involves two-three-and four-center N−H...F hydrogen bonds, and additional C−H...F interactions with C...F distances down to 2.963(6) ?. The alkynyl C−H donors form only C−H...F interactions of unfavorable geometries.     

The hydrogen bonding in 2-amino-3-cyano-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-4,6-dihydro-5H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-one N,N-dimethylformamide solvate monohydrate

The crystal structure of 2-amino-3-cyano-4,6-dihydro-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-5H-pyrano[3,2-c]quinolin-5-one N,N-dimethylformamide solvate monohydrate is determined by room temperature X-ray diffraction. The title compound 1, C₂₂H₂₁N₅O₆, is triclinic, space group P-1, a=9.109(2) ?, b=11.340(2) ?, c=12.485(2) ?, α=70.02(1)°, β=69.36(1)°, γ=67.32(1)°, Z=2, V=1081.4(4) ?³. It is interesting that a bridge-like hydrogen bond O–H···O is formed between the title compound and solvent molecules of water with molecular ratio of 2:2 building a bi-layer framework. In addition, there are two other types of classical hydrogen bonds N–H···N and N–H···O in the crystal structure.Supplementary material Crystallographic data for the structure reported in this paper have been deposited with the Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre as supplementary publication no.

Influence of flexible chain,polar substitution and hydrogen bonding on phase stability in Shiff based (4)PyBD(4I)BrA-nOBA series of liquid crystals

Shiff based Linear Hydrogen Bonded Liquid Crystalline homologues, viz., (4)PyBD(4^I)BrA-nOBAs for n = 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,11 and 12 are synthesized. ¹H-NMR and ¹³C-NMR studies confirm the formation of HBLC and IR confirms the linear hydrogen bonding. Liquid crystal phase abundance, transition temperatures, enthalpy and order of transition are investigated by Polarized Optical Microscopy textural studies and Differential Scanning Calorimetry. Nematic, Smectic-A, -D, -C, B_hexatic, -B_Crystal, -F, -I and –G phases are identified. Large LC phase variances, viz., NAB_hexFG and NACFG are exhibited by intermediate chain length with n = 5 and 6. A-C transition exhibited unique II-order nature. II-order nature for G-Solid transition explained. Phase diagram drawn with flexible chain length infers INA, and ACF and CIF MultiCritical Points and Lifshitz behaviour. NA TriCiritical Point predicted in [3+7] binary. Influences of chain length, linear HB and end polar(-Br) substitution for LC phase stability are is discussed. Results of Phase stability are discussed in the wake of the body of the data and reports in other LCs. DSC enthalpy suggests for utility of intermediate and higher homologues for device savvy tilted Smectic LC phases.

Compound 1, a rare example of carboxylic group bound to a cyclohexene ring, forms an infinite intermolecular hydrogen-bonded polymer [O1 O2(–x + 1/2, y + 1/2, –z + 2) 2.697(2) Å], whereas molecules of compound 2 are linked to form an asymmetric hydrogen-bonded dimer [O1 O2(–x, y, –z) 2.657(3) Å].     

The utility of 4-aminobenzoic acid in promotion of hydrogen bonding in crystallization processes: the structures of the cocrystals with halo and nitro subsituted aromatic compounds, and the crystal structures of the adducts with 4-nitroaniline (1:1), 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (1:2), and (4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid (1:1)

A number of molecular adducts of 4-aminobenzoic acid (4-ABA) have been prepared and characterized using infrared spectroscopy and in three cases by X-ray diffration methods. These three compounds are with 4-nitroaniline [(4-ABA) (C₆H₆N₂O₂)], 4-(4-nitrobenzyl) pyridine, [(4-ABA)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂O₂)₄], and (4-nitrophenyl)acetic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₈H₇NO₄)]. Other compounds described are with 4-chlorobenzoic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₇H₅ClO₂)], 4-bromobenzoic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₇H₅BrO₂)], 4-cyanobenzoic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₇H₆N₂)], 2-nitrobenzoic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₇H₅NO₄)], and 3-nitrobenzoic acid, [(4-ABA) (C₇H₅NO₄)]. All compounds have 1:1 stoichiometry except that with 4-(4-nitrobenzyl)pyridine (1:2) which is unique in being retro-stoichiometric. A review of the systematics of the 4-aminobenzoic acid adducts is also made, particularly with respect to the infrared characterization of the cocrystalline materials and prediction of their NLO potential.
