4‐Anilino‐3‐nitro­pyridine

The structure of the title compound, C₂₂H₁₈N₆O₄, (I), comprises two unique mol­ecules that separately form hydrogen‐bonded polymer chains via N—H?N interactions. Molecular independence arises due to a difference in the dihedral angles between the linked rings, i.e. 52.19 (4) and 46.17 (5)°.

2‐Nitr­imino‐1‐nitro­imidazolidine

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C₃H₅N₅O₄, has a planar geometry. Due to the presence of a second nitro group, the lengths of the two conjugated C—N bonds are different. Nevertheless, the conjugation of the nitr­imine group spreads to the nitr­amine group. Intermolecular N—H...O bonds connect mol­ecules into dimers in the crystal structure.

Dual Self‐Assembling Polycondensation of p‐Acetoxybenzoic Acid and p‐Acetamidobenzoic Acid

The dual self‐assembling polycondensation of p‐acetoxybenzoic acid (ABA) and p‐acetamidobenzoic acid in Therm S 800 was examined at 300 °C. Needle‐like crystals and lath‐like crystals were formed simultaneously through reaction‐induced crystallization of oligomers at a molar ratio of 30–50 mol‐% ABA in the feed. The needle‐like crystals comprised more p‐oxybenzoyl units, whereas the lath‐like ones contained higher amounts of p‐benzamide moieties.

dl‐Alaninium semi‐oxalate monohydrate

The structure of the title compound, C₃H₈NO₂⁺·C₂HO₄⁻·H₂O, is formed by two chiral counterparts (l ‐ and d ‐alaninium cations), semi‐oxalate anions and water molecules, with a 1:1:1 cation–anion–water ratio. The structure is compared with that of the previously known anhydrous dl ‐alaninium semi‐oxalate [Subha Nandhini, Krishnakumar & Natarajan (2001). Acta Cryst. E 57 , o666–o668] in order to investigate the role of water molecules in the crystal packing. The structure of the hydrate resembles that of anhydrous alaninium semi‐oxalate, with the water molecule incorporated into the general three‐dimensional network of hydrogen bonds where it forms four hydrogen bonds with neighbours disposed tetrahedrally about it. Although the main structural motifs in the hydrate and in the anhydrous form are topologically similar, the incorporation of water molecules in the network results in significant geometric distortion. There are several types of hydrogen bond in the crystal structure of the hydrate, two of which (O—H...O bonds between the semi‐oxalate anions and O—H...O hydrogen bonds between water and alaninium cations) are very short. Such hydrogen bonds between semi‐oxalate anions are also present in the anhydrous form of this compound. Short distances between semi‐oxalate anions in neighbouring chains in the hydrate alternate with longer ones, whereas in the anhydrous structure they are equidistant. Despite the similarity of these compounds, dehydration of the hydrate on storage is not of a single‐crystal to single‐crystal type, but gives a polycrystalline pseudomorph, preserving the crystal habit. This transformation proceeds through the formation of an intermediate compound, presumably a hemihydrate.
