3‐(4‐Bromo­phenyl)‐2‐(3,4‐di­hydro‐2H‐pyran‐5‐yl)‐1,1,1‐tri­fluoro­propan‐2‐ol

The molecular structure of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₄BrF₃O₂, adopts a bent conformation. Intramolecular O—H?F and intermolecular O—H?O interactions form a bifurcated hydrogen bond which produces a supramolecular assembly of head‐to‐tail dimers.     

Hydrogen‐bonding and C—H⋯π interactions in ethyl 4‐acetyl‐5‐methyl‐3‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrrole‐2‐carboxylate monohydrate

In the title compound, C₁₆H₁₇NO₃·H₂O, the pyrrole ring is distorted slightly from ideal C_2v symmetry. Three strong hydrogen bonds link the substituted pyrrole and water mol­ecules to form infinite chains, in which the hydrogen bonds form rings and chain patterns. Two intermolecular C—H?π interactions maintain the internal cohesion between these chains. The molecular structure differs slightly from that of the isolated mol­ecule calculated by ab initio quantum‐mechanical calculations. In the latter model, the non‐H substituent atoms share the plane of the pyrrole ring, except for the phenyl group, which lies almost perpendicular to this plane.     

N‐(o‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2,5‐di­methyl­pyrrole‐3‐carb­aldehyde

Crystal structure analysis of the title compound, C₁₃H₁₂ClNO, reveals three crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The main conformational difference between these mol­ecules is the orientation of the phenyl rings with respect to the pyrrole rings. The coplanar arrangement of the aldehyde groups attached to the pyrrole rings influences the pyrrole‐ring geometry. The C2—C3 and N1—C5 bonds are noticeably longer than the C4—C5 and N1—C2 bonds. Two independent mol­ecules of the title compound form dimers via intermolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [D⃛A = 3.400 (3) Å and D—H⃛A = 157°]. The perpendicular orientation of the phenyl and pyrrole rings of one independent mol­ecule and its symmetry‐related mol­ecule allows C—H⃛π interactions, with an H⃛centroid distance of 2.85 Å and a C—H⃛π angle of 155°. The distances between the H atom and the pyrrole‐ring atoms indicate that the C—H bond points towards one of the bonds in the pyrrole ring.     

6‐(1‐Hydro­xy‐2,2‐di­phenyl­ethyl)‐4,4‐di­phenyl‐2‐cyclo­hexen‐1‐one

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₃₂H₂₈O₂, (I), confirms the erythro stereochemistry of the aldol adduct. In the crystal, (I) forms centrosymmetric O—H?O=C hydrogen‐bonded dimers which in turn are connected by C—H?O and C—H?π interactions.     

Hydrogen‐bonded chains of rings in 1‐(4‐chloroanilinomethyl)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 1‐anilinomethyl‐5‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione

In 1‐(4‐chloroanilinomethyl)‐5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione, C₁₆H₁₆Cl₂N₄S, there are two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit which form inversion dimers via two weak N—H...S hydrogen bonds. The dimers are then linked into C(9)C(14) chains by a C—H...S hydrogen bond and a C—H...Cl contact. In 1‐(anilinomethyl)‐5‐phenyl‐1,3,5‐triazinane‐2‐thione, C₁₆H₁₈N₄S, molecules are linked into complex sheets via a combination of N—H...S and C—H...π hydrogen bonds.     

Similarities and differences in the structures of 5‐bromo‐6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethylchroman‐2‐one and 6‐hydroxy‐7,8‐dimethyl‐5‐nitrochroman‐2‐one

The title compounds, C₁₁H₁₁BrO₃, (I), and C₁₁H₁₁NO₅, (II), respectively, are derivatives of 6‐hydroxy‐5,7,8‐trimethylchroman‐2‐one substituted at the 5‐position by a Br atom in (I) and by a nitro group in (II). The pyranone rings in both molecules adopt half‐chair conformations, and intramolecular O—H...Br [in (I)] and O—H...O_nitro [in (II)] hydrogen bonds affect the dispositions of the hydroxy groups. Classical intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are found in both molecules but play quite dissimilar roles in the crystal structures. In (I), O—H...O hydrogen bonds form zigzag C(9) chains of molecules along the a axis. Because of the tetragonal symmetry, similar chains also form along b. In (II), however, similar contacts involving an O atom of the nitro group form inversion dimers and generate R₂²(12) rings. These also result in a close intermolecular O...O contact of 2.686 (4) Å. For (I), four additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds combine with π–π stacking interactions between the benzene rings to build an extensive three‐dimensional network with molecules stacked along the c axis. The packing in (II) is much simpler and centres on the inversion dimers formed through O—H...O contacts. These dimers are stacked through additional C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and further weak C—H...O interactions generate a three‐dimensional network of dimer stacks.     

A 1:1 molecular complex of bis(4‐aminophenyl) disulfide and 4‐aminothiophenol

The centrosymmetric crystal structure of the title complex, C₁₂H₁₂N₂S₂·C₆H₇NS, is built up of dimers of the constituent mol­ecules and stabilized by a herring‐bone geometry between the phenyl rings. The structure reveals an N—H?N—H?N—H?S co‐operative hydrogen‐bonded chain, and C—H?S and N—H?π hydrogen bonds. The S—H group forms an uncommon S—H?π interaction.     

Pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxamide

In the crystal structure of the title di­amide, C₆H₆N₄O₂, linear tapes of carbox­amide N—H?O and pyrazine C—H?N hydrogen‐bond dimers are connected by N—H?O bonds to form a staircase‐like pattern.     

Hydrogen bonding in 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxypyrimidine, 2‐benzylamino‐4,6‐bis(benzyloxy)pyrimidine and 2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(N‐pyrrolidino)pyrimidine: chains of fused rings and a centrosymmetric dimer

Molecules of 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methoxy­pyrimidine, C₆H₉N₃O₂, (I), are linked by two N—H?N hydrogen bonds [H?N 2.23 and 2.50 Å, N?N 3.106 (2) and 3.261 (2) Å, and N—H?N 171 and 145°] into a chain of fused rings, where alternate rings are generated by centres of inversion and twofold rotation axes. Adjacent chains are linked by aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions to form a three‐dimensional framework. In 2‐­benzylamino‐4,6‐bis(benzyloxy)pyrimidine, C₂₅H₂₃N₃O₂, (II), the mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by paired N—H?N hydrogen bonds [H?N 2.13 Å, N?N 2.997 (2) Å and N—H?N 170°]. Molecules of 2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(N‐pyrrolidino)­pyrimidine, C₁₂H₁₉N₅, (III), are linked by two N—H?N hydrogen bonds [H?N 2.34 and 2.38 Å, N?N 3.186 (2) and 3.254 (2) Å, and N—H?N 163 and 170°] into a chain of fused rings similar to that in (I).     

cis‐Tetra­carbonyl­[(4‐fluoro­phenyl)di­phenyl­phosphine‐P](piperidine‐N)molybdenum(0)

The title mol­ecule, [Mo{P(C₆H₅)₂(C₆H₄F)}(HNC₅H₁₀)(CO)₄] or [Mo(C₁₈H₁₄FP)(C₅H₁₁N)(CO)₄], has irregular octahedral geometry about the Mo atom. The mol­ecules form a complicated hydrogen‐bonded network comprising C—H?O, C—H?F and C—H?π hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The C—H?π and π–π interactions form chains containing C—H?π/π–π dimers linked via C—H?π interactions and the chains are linked into a three‐dimensional network via C—H?O and C—H?F hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen‐bond motifs in N‐monosubstituted derivatives of barbituric acid: 5‐allyl‐5‐isopropyl‐1‐methylbarbituric acid (enallylpropymal) and 1,5‐di(but‐2‐enyl)‐5‐ethylbarbituric acid

Both title structures exhibit essentially planar barbiturate rings. The crystal structure of enallylpropymal (5‐allyl‐5‐isopropyl‐1‐methylbarbituric acid), C₁₁H₁₆N₂O₃, is composed of centrosymmetric N—H...O hydrogen‐bonded dimers, while 1,5‐di(but‐2‐enyl)‐5‐ethylbarbituric acid, C₁₄H₂₀N₂O₃, forms N—H...O hydrogen‐bonded helical chains. Each of the ten known crystal structures of closely related N‐monosubstituted derivatives of barbituric acid displays one of the fundamental N—H...O hydrogen‐bonded motifs of the two title structures, i.e. either a dimer or a chain.     

Isomeric 3‐ and 4‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline

The title isomers, namely 3‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline, (I), and 4‐chloro‐N‐[1‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)ethylidene]aniline, (II), both C₁₂H₁₁ClN₂, differ in the position of the chlorine substitution. Both compounds have the basic iminopyrrole structure, which shows a planar backbone with similar features. The dihedral angle formed by the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings is 75.65 (7)° for (I) and 86.56 (8)° for (II). The H atom bound to the pyrrole N atom is positionally disordered and partial protonation occurs at the imino N atom in (I), while this phenomenon is absent from the structure of (II). Packing interactions for both compounds include intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, forming centrosymmetric dimers for both (I) and (II).     

Ethyl 2‐amino‐4‐phenyl‐1,3‐thia­zole‐5‐carboxyl­ate

The structure of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂S, (I), comprises mol­ecules that form dimers via N—H?N hydrogen‐bonding interactions and then construct the overall network through N—H?O associations. The dihedral angle between the phenyl and thia­zole rings is 42.41 (6)°.     

Ethyl N‐(2‐benzyl­amino‐6‐benzyl­oxy‐5‐nitro­sopyrimidin‐4‐yl)­glycinate: sheets built from a three‐centre N—H⋯(N,O), and two‐centre C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₃N₅O₄, the mol­ecules are linked into chains by a three‐centre N—H?(N,O) hydrogen bond, reinforced by a two‐centre C—H?O hydrogen bond, and the chains are further linked into sheets by a combination of C—H?O and C—H?π(arene) hydrogen bonds.     

Sterically shielded pyramidal amino groups in two 4,4′‐(arylmethylene)bis(6‐allyl‐3‐chloro‐2‐methylaniline) derivatives

4,4′‐(Phenylmethylene)bis(6‐allyl‐3‐chloro‐2‐methylaniline), C₂₇H₂₈Cl₂N₂, (I), and 4,4′‐(2‐thienylmethylene)bis(6‐allyl‐3‐chloro‐2‐methylaniline), C₂₅H₂₆Cl₂N₂S, (II), adopt similar molecular conformations, although the thienyl group in (II) exhibits orientational disorder over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.614 (3) and 0.386 (3). The amino groups in both compounds are pyramidal. A single N—H...N hydrogen bond links the molecules of (I) into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers. Molecules of (II) are linked by an ordered C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond to form cyclic centrosymmetric dimers, and these dimers are linked into statistically interrupted chains by a second C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond involving a donor in the minor component of the disordered thienyl unit.     

4‐Ethynyl‐4‐hydroxycyclohexan‐1‐one and 4‐ethynyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,3,5,6‐tetramethylcyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐one

The title compounds, C₈H₁₀O₂, (I), and C₁₂H₁₄O₂, (II), occurred as by‐products in the controlled synthesis of a series of bis­(gem‐alkynols), prepared as part of an extensive study of synthon formation in simple gem‐alkynol derivatives. The two 4‐(gem‐alkynol)‐1‐ones crystallize in space group P2₁/c, (I) with Z′ = 1 and (II) with Z′ = 2. Both structures are dominated by O—H?O=C hydrogen bonds, which form simple chains in the cyclo­hexane derivative, (I), and centrosymmetric dimers, of both symmetry‐independent mol­ecules, in the cyclo­hexa‐2,5‐diene, (II). These strong synthons are further stabilized by C[triple‐bond]C—H?O=C, C_methylene—H?O(H) and C_methyl—H?O(H) interactions. The direct intermolecular interactions between donors and acceptors in the gem‐alkynol group, which characterize the bis­(gem‐alkynol) analogues of (I) and (II), are not present in the ketone derivatives studied here.     

Head‐to‐head dimers in the zwitterion of 1‐hydroxy‐1‐phosphono‐3‐(1‐piperidino)propylidene‐1‐phosphonate (PHPBP)

The title compound, C₈H₁₉NO₇P₂, is a member of the bis­phosphonate family of therapeutic compounds. PHPBP has inner‐salt character, consisting of a negatively charged PO₃ group and a positively charged N atom. The six‐membered piperidine ring adopts an almost‐perfect chair conformation. The hydroxyl group and the N atom have gauche and trans conformations in relation to the O—C—C—C—N backbone, respectively. Hydrogen bonding is the main contributor to the packing in the crystal, which consists of head‐to‐head dimers formed through phosphonyl–phosphonyl hydrogen bonds, while O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O interactions join the dimers into a plane parallel to crystallographic b and c axes.

The crystal and mol­ecular structures of 4‐ethyl‐3,5‐dimethyl­pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde, C₁₀H₁₅NO, (I), benzyl 3,5‐dimethyl­pyrrole‐2‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₄H₁₅NO₂, (II), benzyl 4‐acetyl‐3,5‐dimethyl­pyrrole‐2‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₆H₁₇NO₃, (III), dimethyl 3,5‐dimethyl­pyrrole‐2,4‐dicarboxyl­ate, C₁₀H₁₃NO₄, (IV), 4‐ethyl‐3,5‐dimethyl‐2‐(p‐tos­ylacet­yl)pyrrole, C₁₇H₂₁NO₃S, (V), and ethyl 4‐(2‐ethoxy­carbonyl‐2‐hydroxy­acrylo­yl)‐3,5‐dimethyl­pyrrole‐2‐carboxyl­ate, C₁₅H₁₉NO₆, (VI), were determined at 130 K. Compounds (I), (II), (IV), (V) and (VI) form hydrogen‐bonded dimers [N—H⋯O=C = 1.97 (2)–2.03 (3) Å]. Four dimers, viz. (I) and (IV)–(VI), have inversion symmetry, while the dimer of (II) has twofold symmetry. Only (III) forms polymeric chains involving hydrogen bonds between the pyrrole H atom and the acetyl carbonyl group [H⋯O = 1.97 (2) Å] and is further stabilized by CH₃⋯O inter­actions (C—H⋯O = 2.28–2.49 Å). Compound (VI) was found to occur as the enol ether in the crystal.

In the title compound, [Cu(C₁₄H₉NO₃)(H₂O)₂], which crystallizes with Z = 18 in the space group R, pairs of complexes are linked into dimers by three O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the dimers into one‐dimensional chains that further assemble into tubes through π–π and C—H⋯π inter­actions.     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐hydroxycyclohexyl)‐N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diaminium dichloride
