Melaminium acetate acetic acid solvate monohydrate

The crystals of the title new melaminium salt, 2,4,6‐tri­amino‐1,3,5‐triazin‐1‐ium acetate acetic acid solvate monohydrate, C₃H₇N₆⁺·CH₃COO^?·CH₃COOH·H₂O, are built up from singly protonated melaminium residues, acetate anions, and acetic acid and water mol­ecules. The melaminium residues are interconnected by N—H?N hydrogen bonds to form chains along the [010] direction. These chains of melaminium residues form stacks aligned along the a axis. The acetic acid mol­ecules interact with the acetate anions via the H atom of their carboxylic acid groups and, together with the water mol­ecules, form layers that are parallel to the (001) plane. The oppositely charged moieties interact via multiple N—H?O hydrogen bonds that stabilize a pseudo‐two‐dimensional stacking structure.     

Adducts of 1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene: continuously interwoven structures in three dimensions

In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2), C₁₂H₁₂N₂·2C₂₀H₁₈O₃, the bipyridyl component lies across an inversion centre in P. The tris‐phenol mol­ecules [systematic name: 4,4′,4′′‐(ethane‐1,1,1‐triyl)­triphenol] are linked by O—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from R(38) rings, and symmetry‐related pairs of sheets are linked by the bipyridyl mol­ecules via O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form open bilayers. Each bilayer is interwoven with two adjacent bilayers, forming a continuous three‐dimensional structure. In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane–methanol (1/1/1), C₁₂H₁₀N₂·C₂₀H₁₈O₃·CH₄O, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds into three interwoven three‐dimensional frameworks, generated by single spiral chains along [010] and [001] and a triple‐helical spiral along [100].     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in methyl­aminium 4′,7‐dihydroxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate dihydrate and hexa­aqua­iron(II) bis­(4′,7‐diethoxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate) tetra­hydrate

In methyl­aminium 4′,7‐dihydroxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate dihydrate, CH₆N⁺·C₁₅H₉O₇S⁻·2H₂O, 11 hydrogen bonds exist between the methyl­aminium cations, the iso­flavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. In hexa­aqua­iron(II) bis­(4′,7‐diethoxy­isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate) tetra­hydrate, [Fe(H₂O)₆](C₁₉H₁₇O₇S)₂·4H₂O, 12 hydrogen bonds exist between the centrosymmetric [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cation, the isoflavone‐3′‐sulfonate anions and the solvent water mol­ecules. Additional π–π stacking inter­actions generate three‐dimensional supramolecular structures in both compounds.     

9α‐Fluoro‐16α‐methyl‐3,11‐dioxoandrosta‐1,4‐diene‐17β‐carboxyl­ic acid: catemeric hydrogen bonding and acetic acid solvation in a steroidal keto acid related to dexamethasone

The title keto acid crystallizes as a solvate, C₂₁H₂₅FO₄·C₂H₄O₂, with two mol­ecules each of steroid and acetic acid per asymmetric unit. The former are approximately parallel, with opposite end‐to‐end orientation, and form translational carboxyl‐to‐ketone hydrogen‐bonding catemers [O⋯O = 2.679 (6) and 2.650 (5) Å, and O—H⋯O = 165 and 162°] that involve the 3‐ketone group and follow the a axis. The acetic acid mol­ecules are paired by hydrogen bonding, and neither they nor the F atom nor the 11‐ketone group play any overt role in the hydrogen‐bonding scheme of the steroid. Intermolecular C—H⋯O=C close contacts involving three different neighboring mol­ecules exist to the 11‐ketone group, the steroidal carboxyl group and one of the acetic acid molecules.

In the title compound, diaqua­bis(1,4‐di‐4‐pyrid­yl‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene)dimethanolzinc(II) bis­(perchlorate) 1,4‐di‐4‐pyrid­yl‐2,3‐diaza‐1,3‐butadiene methanol 1.72‐solvate 1.28‐hydrate, [Zn(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)₂(CH₄O)₂(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂·C₁₂H₁₀N₄·1.72CH₄O·1.28H₂O, determined at ca 110 K, the Zn cation and the extended dipyridyl ligand both lie across inversion centres in space group P. The structure consists of a network arrangement of the constituent species stabilized by a combination of coordination, hydrogen bonding and π–π forces. Uncoordinated methanol and water solvent mol­ecules occupy the otherwise void spaces within and between the networks.     

A novel bridged asymmetric binuclear manganese(II) complex with DTPB [DTPB is 1,1,4,7,7‐pentakis(1H‐benz­imidazol‐2‐yl­methyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­aza­heptane]

The crystal structure of the title compound, tetra­chloro­[μ‐1,1,4,7,7‐pentakis(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­methyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­azaheptane]­dimanganese(II) methanol pentasolvate tetrahydrate, [Mn₂Cl₄(C₄₄H₄₃N₁₃)]·5CH₄O·4H₂O, contains an ­asymmetric dinuclear Mn^II–DTPB [DTPB is 1,1,4,7,7‐pentakis(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­methyl)‐1,4,7‐tri­aza­heptane] complex with an intra‐ligand bridging group (–NCH₂CH₂N–), as well as several solvate mol­ecules (methanol and water). Both Mn^II cations have similar distorted octahedral coordination geometries. One Mn^II cation is coordinated by a Cl⁻ anion and five N atoms from the ligand, and the other is coordinated by three Cl⁻ anions and three N atoms of the same ligand. The Mn⋯Mn distance is 7.94 Å. A Cl⋯H—O⋯H—O⋯H—N hydrogen‐bond chain is also observed, connecting the two parts of the complex.     

A low‐temperature neutron diffraction study of Mn12‐acetate

In the low‐temperature region, where the dodecanuclear mixed‐valence manganese carboxyl­ate hexa­deca­acetatotetra­aqua­dodeca­oxo­dodeca­manganese bis­(acetic acid) tetra­hydrate, [Mn₁₂O₁₂(C₂D₃O₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄]·2C₂HD₃O₂·4H₂O, displays unusual magnetic properties, its structure is similar to that previously determined at room temperature [Lis (1980). Acta Cryst. B 36 , 2042–2046], differing only by a small change in the configuration of one of the coordinated acetate groups, related to the formation of additional hydrogen bonds, and by the orientation of the methyl groups. Since most of the magnetization density of this system resides on the Mn atoms, the consequences of these rearrangements for the magnetic properties of the compound are small.     

Bis(μ‐6‐hydroxy­picolinato)‐μ‐oxo‐bis­[di­pyridine­manganese(III)] monohydrate

The title compound, [Mn₂(μ‐O)(C₆H₃NO₃)₂(C₅H₅N)₄]·H₂O, was isolated from the reaction of 2,6‐pyridine­di­carboxylic acid with [Mn₁₂O₁₂(CH₃COO)₁₆(H₂O)₄] in pyridine. The dimanganese complex has twofold symmetry; the Mn^III atoms are bridged by one oxo and two amidate ligands and show compressed octahedral Jahn–Teller distortion. The molecular packing comprises a three‐dimensional structure constructed by means of extensive intermolecular interactions, including three kinds of hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions.     

Tris(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine–solvent adducts

The tris­(1H‐benzimidazol‐2‐yl­meth­yl)­amine (ntb) mol­ecule crystallizes in different solvent systems, resulting in two kinds of adduct, namely the monohydrate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·H₂O or ntb·H₂O, (I), and the acetonitrile–methanol–water (1/0.5/1.5) solvate, C₂₄H₂₁N₇·C₂H₃N·0.5CH₄O·1.5H₂O or ntb·1.5H₂O·0.5MeOH·MeCN, (II). In both cases, ntb adopts a tripodal mode to form hydrogen bonds with a solvent water mol­ecule via two N—H⋯O and one O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. In (I), the ntb·H₂O adduct is further assembled into a two‐dimensional network by N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, while in (II), a double‐stranded one‐dimensional chain structure is assembled via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, with the acetonitrile mol­ecules located inside the cavities of the chain structure.     

Crystal engineering with heteroboranes. II. 1,2‐Di­carboxy‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane(12) ethanol hemisolvate

The title compound, 1,2‐(COOH)₂‐1,2‐closo‐C₂B₁₀H₁₀·0.5C₂H₆O or C₄H₁₂B₁₀O₄·0.5C₂H₆O, forms a tetramer by incorporating ethanol (solvent) mol­ecules through hydrogen bonding. Two eight‐membered rings [graph set R(8)] are formed by hydrogen bonding between two carboxyl­ic acid groups, whereas two ten‐membered rings [R(10)] are formed by hydrogen bonding between two carboxyl­ic acid groups and the OH group of an ethanol mol­ecule (solvent). Two crystallographically independent tetramers are present in the crystal structure.     

Hydro­gen bonding in 1‐carbamoyl­guanidinium methyl­phospho­nate monohydrate

The title compound, C₂H₇N₄O⁺·CH₄O₃P⁻·H₂O, crystallized with one carbamoyl­guanidinium cation, one methyl­phos­phonate anion and one water mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. All H atoms of the carbamoyl­guanidinium ion are involved in a hydrogen‐bonded network. The CH₃PO₂(OH) anions, together with the water mol­ecules, build O—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonded ribbons around a 2₁ screw axis parallel to the b axis. Neighbouring ribbons are not directly connected via hydrogen bonding. The carbamoyl­guanidinium cations are linked to these ribbons by N—H⋯O bridges and build a slightly buckled layer structure, the interlayer distance being b/2.     

1:1 Adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole with (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine stabilized by eight hydrogen bonds

The structure of the cocrystallized 1:1 adduct of (S,S)‐4‐amino‐3,5‐bis­(1‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐1,2,4‐triazole and (S,S)‐1,2‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­propionyl)­hydrazine, C₆H₁₂N₄O₂·C₆H₁₂N₂O₄, has tetra­gonal symmetry. All eight O‐ and N‐bound H atoms are involved in inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in infinite zigzag chains of the triazole mol­ecules, with the hydrazine mol­ecules filling the gaps between the chains and completing a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded array.     

fac‐Bromo­tri­carbonyl­[2‐(2‐pyridylmethyl)‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐isoindol‐1‐one]­rhenium(I) methanol solvate

The structure of the title compound, fac‐[ReBr(C₁₄H₁₂N₂O)(CO)₃]·CH₄O, consists of neutral mononuclear mol­ecular units of distorted octahedral geometry, with the three carbonyl donors in a facial orientation. The remaining coordination sites are occupied by the Br atom, the pyridine N atom and the ketone O‐atom donor of the ligand. The mol­ecules pack in stacks of antiparallel tapes, with a network of classical (O—H⋯Br) and non‐classical (C—H⋯O) hydrogen bonds between the methanol solvent mol­ecule and the complex mol­ecule.     

Poly[[μ‐aqua‐bis­(μ‐2,4‐dichloro­phen­oxy­acetato)barium(II)] monohydrate]

In the title coordination polymer, {[Ba(C₈H₅Cl₂O₃)₂(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, each Ba^II atom is nine‐coordinated by six carboxyl­ate O atoms and one ether O atom from five symmetry‐related 2,4‐dichloro­phenoxy­acetate ligands, and by two O atoms from water mol­ecules, thus defining a distorted tricapped trigonal prism. The Ba^II ions are bridged by bidentate water mol­ecules and by tridentate and tetra­dentate 2,4‐dichloro­phenoxy­acetate groups, leading to a two‐dimensional layer structure. The crystal structure is further stabilized by hydrogen‐bonding inter­actions within each layer.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheets in the 1:1 cocrystal of biphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid with 2,5‐di‐4‐pyrid­yl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole

The combination of biphenyl‐4,4′‐dicarboxylic acid (H₂bpa) and the bent dipyridyl base 2,5‐di‐4‐pyridyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole (4‐bpo) in a 1:1 molar ratio leads to the formation of the mol­ecular cocrystal (H₂bpa)·(4‐bpo) or C₁₄H₁₀O₄·C₁₂H₈N₄O. The asymmetric unit contains one‐half of an H₂bpa unit lying across a centre of inversion and one‐half of a 4‐bpo mol­ecule lying across a twofold rotation axis. Inter­molecular O—H⋯N inter­actions connect the acid and base mol­ecules to form a one‐dimensional zigzag chain. Through further weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between adjacent chains, a two‐dimensional sheet‐like supramolecular network is afforded. As an extended analogue of terephthalic acid (H₂tp), the backbone geometry of H₂bpa has an evident influence on the hydrogen‐bonding pattern of the title cocrystal compared with that of (H₂tp)·(4‐bpo).     

4‐(4‐Hydro­xy­benzyl­idene­amino)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole hemihydrate

These layers are stabilized by hydrogen‐bonded water mol­ecules to form three‐dimensional networks.

The Ca²⁺ ion lies on an inversion centre and is octahedrally coordinated by four methanol mol­ecules and two tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate counter‐ions. The molecular packing is dominated by hydrogen‐bonded sheets in the (110) plane which contain R(32) rings; in these rings, significant π–π interactions are observed between inversion‐related 1,3‐di‐4‐pyridyl­urea mol­ecules.     

2‐Pyridone–tartronic acid (1/1), 3‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate and 4‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate

Tartronic acid forms a hydrogen‐bonded complex, C₅H₅NO·C₃H₄O₅, (I), with 2‐pyridone, while it forms acid salts, namely 3‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate, (II), and 4‐hy­droxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate, (III), both C₅H₆NO⁺·C₃H₃O₅⁻, with 3‐hydroxy­pyridine and 4‐hydroxy­pyridine, respectively. In (I), the pyridone mol­ecules and the acid mol­ecules form R(8) and R(10) hydrogen‐bonded rings, respectively, around the inversion centres. In (II) and (III), the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen‐bonded chain. In each of (I), (II) and (III), an intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed between a carboxyl group and the hydroxyl group attached to the central C atom, and in (I), the hydroxyl group participates in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a carbonyl group. No intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the carboxyl groups in (I), or between the carboxyl and carboxyl­ate groups in (II) and (III).

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₅N₅OS·2H₂O, the mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the b axis. In this arrangemant, the mol­ecules are linked to each other by a combination of one two‐centre N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and four two‐centre O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds containing two types of ring motif, viz.R₄⁴(10) and R₃³(11). In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric π–π inter­actions between the triazole rings, with a distance of 3.691 (2) Å between the ring centroids, also affect the packing of the mol­ecules.     

Hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking in 6‐hydroxy­biochanin A monohydrate

In the lattice of the title compound (systematic name: 5,6,7‐trihydroxy‐4′‐meth­oxy­isoflavone monohydrate), C₁₆H₁₂O₆·H₂O, the isoflavone mol­ecules are linked into chains through R₄³(17) motifs composed via O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Centrosymmetric R₄²(14) motifs assemble the chains into sheets. Hydrogen‐bonding and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions lead to the formation of a three‐dimensional network structure.
