4,4,6,6‐Tetra­chloro‐2,2‐(ethyl­ene­di­oxy­di‐o‐phenyl­enedi­imino)‐2λ5,4λ5,6λ5‐cyclo­triphosphazene

The title ligand, C₁₄H₁₄Cl₄N₅O₂P₃, is a cyclo­phosphazene lariat (PNP pivot) ether with a spiro‐cyclic 11‐membered macrocyclic ring containing two ether O and two N atoms; the phosphazene ring is nearly planar. The macrocyclic ring contains a four‐centred (trifurcate) N—H⋯O/N—H⋯N hydrogen bond, and the relative inner‐hole size of the macrocycle is ∼1.14 Å in radius. The mol­ecules are linked about inversion centres by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric dimers.     

4′,4′,6′,6′‐Tetra­chloro‐3,4‐di­hydro‐3‐(6‐methyl­pyridin‐2‐yl)­spiro­[1,3,2‐benzox­aza­phosphinine‐2,2′‐(2λ5,4λ5,6λ5‐cyclo­triphosphazene)]

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₂Cl₄N₅OP₃, is a phosphazene derivative with a bulky substituted spiro­cyclic ring. The C₃NPO spiro­cyclic ring has a twist‐boat conformation, while the phosphazene ring has a very flattened boat conformation.     

tert‐Butyl (3S,6R,9R)‐(5‐oxo‐3‐{[1(R)‐phenyl­ethyl]­carbamoyl}‐1,2,3,5,6,7,8,8a‐octa­hydro­indolizin‐6‐yl)­carbamate monohydrate at 95 K

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₂H₃₁N₃O₄·H₂O, incorporates one water mol­ecule, which is hydrogen bonded to the 3‐oxo O atom of the indolizidinone system. The two rings of the peptidomimetic mol­ecule are trans‐fused, with the six‐membered ring having a slightly distorted half‐chair conformation and the five‐membered ring having a perfect envelope conformation. The structure is stabilized by intermolecular O—H?O interactions between the water and adjacent peptide mol­ecules, and by N—H?O interactions between the peptide mol­ecules, which link the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

4,4,6,6‐Tetra­chloro‐2,2‐(propyl­ene­dioxy­di‐o‐phenyl­enedi­imino)‐2λ5,4λ5,6λ5‐cyclotriphosphazene

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₆Cl₄N₅O₂P₃, is a cyclo­phosphazenic lariat (PNP‐pivot) ether with a spiro‐cyclic 12‐membered macrocyclic ligand containing two ether O and two N atoms; the phosphazene ring is nearly planar. In the macrocyclic ring, there is a four‐center (trifurcate) N—H⋯O/N—H⋯N hydrogen bond. The relative inner‐hole size of the macrocycle is estimated as approximately 0.95 Å.     

9,9‐Dimethoxy‐7,11‐diphenyl‐2,4‐diazaspiro[5.5]undecane‐1,3,5‐trione monohydrate

Due to steric repulsions, the cyclo­hexane ring in the title compound, C₂₃H₂₄N₂O₅·H₂O, shows some bond‐length abnormalities and adopts a chair conformation. The pyrimidine and cyclo­hexane rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, and the phenyl rings are equatorial. C—H?π and N—H?O intermolecular interactions, as well as C—H?O inter‐ and intramolecular interactions, occur between the mol­ecules. In addition to van der Waals interactions, the water mol­ecule interacts with the pyrimidine­trione ring to stabilize the structure.     

3′,4′‐Bis(4‐chloro­phenyl)­spiro­[chroman‐3,5′(4′H)‐isoxazol]‐4‐one

The title compound, C₂₃H₁₅Cl₂NO₃, crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The chroman­one moiety consists of a benzene ring fused with a six‐membered heterocyclic ring which adopts a sofa conformation. The five‐membered spiro­isoxazoline ring is in an envelope conformation. The p‐chloro­phenyl rings bridged by the five‐membered ring are nearly perpendicular to each other. The chromanone moiety of one mol­ecule packs into the cavity formed by the p‐chloro­phenyl rings of a second mol­ecule through the formation of C—H?π interactions. The structure is stabilized by weak C—H?O, C—H?Cl and C—H?π interactions.     

16‐(4‐Cyanobenzylidene)‐3β‐pyrrolidinoandrost‐5‐en‐17β‐ol monohydrate

In the title compound, C₃₁H₄₀N₂O·H₂O, the outer two six‐membered rings are in chair conformations, while the central ring is in an 8β,9α‐half‐chair conformation. The five‐membered ring adopts a 13β‐envelope conformation and the cyano­benzyl­idene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the hydroxyl group at position 17. The steroid nuclei are linked by intermolecular O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form a molecular network. The molecular packing has an interesting feature, with the steroids aligned parallel to the b axis, forming a closed loop through hydrogen bonds linked via water mol­ecules.     

5‐Amino‐4‐(4‐diethylaminophenyl)‐2‐phenyl‐7‐(pyrrolidin‐1‐yl)‐1,6‐naph­thyridine‐8‐carbonitrile

In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₀N₆, the naphthyridine ring is almost planar with a dihedral angle of 5.4 (1)° between the pyridyl rings. The dihedral angles between the naphthyridine system and the diethyl­amino­phenyl, phenyl and pyrrolidine rings are 53.1 (1), 19.8 (1) and 20.9 (1)°, respectively. The pyrrolidine ring adopts a half‐chair conformation. The mol­ecule is stabilized by weak C—H?N interactions.     

4‐[1‐(Phenylsulfonyl)indol‐3‐yl]‐3a,4,5,9b‐tetrahydro‐3H‐cyclopenta[c]quinoline

In the title compound, C₂₆H₂₂N₂O₂S, the tetra­hydro­pyridine ring has a conformation intermediate between half‐chair and sofa. The tetrahydroquinoline mean plane makes a dihedral angle of 73.3 (1)° with the cyclopentene ring, which adopts an envelope conformation, and an angle of 45.45 (4)° with the indole best plane. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyrrole rings is 2.6 (1)°. The orientations of the phenyl ring on the sulfonyl group and of the indole are governed by weak C—H?O interactions. The packing of the mol­ecule in the solid state is stabilized by C—H?O and C—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen bonding in nitroaniline analogues: hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 2‐amino‐4,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine and π‐stacked hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 4‐amino‐2,6‐dimethoxy‐5‐nitropyrimidine

In 2‐amino‐4,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, the mol­ecules are linked by one N—H⋯N and one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond to form sheets built from alternating R(8) and R(32) rings. In isomeric 4‐amino‐2,6‐di­methoxy‐5‐nitro­pyrimidine, C₆H₈N₄O₄, which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in P, the two independent mol­ecules are linked into a dimer by two independent N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These dimers are linked into sheets by a combination of two‐centre C—H⋯O and three‐centre C—H⋯(O)₂ hydrogen bonds, and the sheets are further linked by two independent aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions to form a three‐dimensional structure.     

N—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions in 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐(p‐tol­yl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole and 4‐amino‐3‐methyl‐5‐phenyl‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

The title compounds, C₁₀H₁₂N₄, (I), and C₉H₁₀N₄, (II), have been synthesized and characterized both spectroscopically and structurally. The dihedral angles between the triazole and benzene ring planes are 26.59 (9) and 42.34 (2)°, respectively. In (I), mol­ecules are linked principally by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the amino NH₂ group and a triazole N atom, forming R₄⁴(20) and R₂⁴(10) rings which link to give a three‐dimensional network of mol­ecules. The hydrogen bonding is supported by two different C—H⋯π inter­actions from the tolyl ring to either a triazole ring or a tolyl ring in neighboring mol­ecules. In (II), inter­molecular hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions produce R₃⁴(15) and R₄⁴(21) rings.     

Two biologically active thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide derivatives

The two title compounds, 2‐({(1Z)‐[4‐(di­methyl­amino)phenyl]methylene}amino)‐4,5‐dimethyl‐N‐(2‐methylphenyl)thiophene‐3‐carboxamide, C₂₃H₂₅N₃OS, (I), and 2‐({(1E)‐[4‐(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylene}amino)‐N‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzothiophene‐3‐carboxamide,C₂₅H₂₇N₃OS, (II), show antibacterial and antifungal activities. The asymmetric unit of (II) contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules. The o‐toluidine ring in (I) lies gauche with respect to the thio­phene ring. In (II), the p‐toluidine ring is coplanar with the thio­phene ring in one mol­ecule, but is tilted from it in the other mol­ecule. Neither structure exhibits any significant intermolecular interactions, but in both, an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring, thus locking the molecular conformation and removing conformational flexibility.     

trans-2,4,4,6,8,8-Hexamorpholino-2,6-bis­(n-propyl­amino)cyclo-2λ5,4λ5,6λ5,8λ5-tetraphosph­aza­tetraene

The title compound, C₃₀H₆₄N₁₂O₆P₄, consists of a centrosymmetric chair-shaped cyclic tetrameric phosphazene ring with six bulky morpholino and two n-propyl­amino side groups. The two n-propyl­amino side groups are in trans positions. The bulky substituents mainly determine the eight-membered-ring conformation. The endocyclic N—P—N angles around the P atoms having different substituents are not the same as the P—N—P angles of the macrocyclic ring.     

4‐Chloro­aceto­phenone [1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)­ethyl­idene]­hydra­zone

The crystal structure of the title mixed azine, C₁₇H₁₇ClN₂O, contains four independent mol­ecules, A–D, and mol­ecule B is disordered. All four mol­ecules have an N—N gauche conformation, with C—N—N—C torsion angles of 136.5 (4), 137.0 (4), ?134.7 (4) and ?134.7 (4)°, respectively. The phenyl rings are also somewhat twisted with respect to the plane defined by C_ipso and the imine bond. On average, the combined effect of these twists results in an angle of 64.7° between the best planes of the two phenyl rings. Arene–arene double T‐contacts are the dominant intermolecular inter­action. The methoxy‐substituted phenyl ring of one azine mol­ecule interacts to form a T‐contact with the methoxy‐substituted phenyl ring of an adjacent mol­ecule and, similarly, two chloro‐substituted phenyl rings of neighboring mol­ecules interact to form another T‐contact. The only exception is for mol­ecule B, for which the disorder leads to the formation of T‐­contacts between methoxy‐ and chloro‐substituted phenyl rings. The prevailing structural motif of T‐contact formation between like‐substituted arene rings results in a highly dipole‐parallel‐aligned crystal structure.     

Diaqua{6,6′‐dimethoxy‐2,2′‐[propane‐1,3‐diylbis(nitrilomethylidyne‐N)]diphenolato‐O,O′}nickel(II)

In the title compound, [Ni(C₁₉H₂₀N₂O₄)(H₂O)₂], the Ni atom has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry in which the tetradentate Schiff base ligand acts as a cis‐N₂O₂ donor defining an equatorial plane, and water mol­ecules occupy the axial positions. The two parts of the mol­ecule are related by a mirror plane that passes through the Ni atom and is perpendicular to the equatorial plane. The angular distortions from normal octahedral geometry are in the range 1–6°, and the equatorial plane, defined by the donor atoms of the Schiff base, is almost square planar. The six‐membered ring comprising the Ni, the imine N and the propyl­ene C atoms adopts a half‐chair conformation. The Ni—O [2.017 (2) Å] and Ni—N [2.071 (2) Å] distances are within the ranges expected for high‐spin octahedral nickel complexes.     

2,4‐[2,2′‐Methylenebis(4‐nitrophen­oxy)]‐2,4,6,6‐tetrachlorocyclo‐2λ5,4λ5,6λ5‐triphosphazatriene (ansa)

The title compound, C₁₃H₈Cl₄N₅O₆P₃, consists of a non‐planar trimeric phosphazene ring and a bulky 2,2′‐methylenebis(4‐nitrophenoxy) side group which predominantly determines the molecular shape. With respect to the corresponding values in the reference compound N₃P₃Cl₆, the endocyclic angle around one P atom is the same, but the exocyclic angle is increased, while the endocyclic and exocyclic angles about another P atom are both decreased. This situation is different from that in other reported phosphazene derivatives.     

Self‐assembly of 2‐pivaloyl‐6‐chloro­pterin

In the title compound, N‐(6‐chloro‐4‐oxo‐3,4‐di­hydro­pteridin‐2‐yl)­‐2,2‐di­methyl­propan­amide, C₁₁H₁₂ClN₅O₂, the rings in the pterin moiety are planar. The amide carbonyl O atom is in syn‐periplanar conformation while the C—N—C—C propanamide linkage is antiperiplanar. The N—H?N and N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds transform the mol­ecules into infinite chains.     

16‐[3‐Methoxy‐4‐(2‐piperidin‐1‐yl­ethoxy)­benzyl­idene]‐17‐oxoandrost‐5‐en‐3β‐yl acetate monohydrate

The title compound, C₃₆H₄₉NO₅·H₂O, has the outer two six‐membered rings of the steroid nucleus in chair conformations. The central ring B of the steroid nucleus is in an 8β,9α‐half‐chair conformation, while ring D of the steroid adopts a slightly distorted 13β,14α‐half‐chair conformation. The piperidine ring is in a chair conformation. The methoxy­benzyl­idene moiety has an E configuration with respect to the carbonyl group at position 17. Intermolecular O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds link the steroid and water mol­ecules into chains which run parallel to the b axis.     

(S)‐trans‐Cyclohexane‐1,2‐dicarboximide

The molecule of the title compound, C₈H₁₁NO₂, contains a strained bicyclic system with a significantly twisted imide chromophore. The five‐membered ring fragment containing the imide function is strongly puckered and adopts a half‐chair conformation. The six‐membered ring has a slightly distorted chair conformation. The mol­ecules are joined by strong N—H?O and weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds into infinite chains.     

5‐(2‐Pyridyl)‐1,3‐di­thia­ne‐2‐thione

The title compound, C₉H₉NS₃, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. In both mol­ecules, the di­thia­ne‐2‐thione rings adopt a symmetric half‐boat conformation with the C atom opposite the C—S_thione bond out of the plane. The pyridine ring is in an equatorial position and is twisted out of the plane of the half‐boat by 82.7 (2) and 84.5 (2)° in the two mol­ecules, so that the N atom is trans to the axial C—H bond in both cases.
