Methyl 2‐(4‐bromophenyl)‐1‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate: a hydrogen‐bonded chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric rings

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₁BrN₄O₂, the imidazole and pyrazole rings are almost orthogonal to each other, but the ester unit is effectively coplanar with the adjacent aryl rings. The molecules are linked into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric rings by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheets in 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium dihydrogen phosphate

The title salt, C₁₃H₁₂N₃⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, contains a nonplanar 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium cation and two different dihydrogen phosphate anions, both situated on twofold rotation axes in the space group C2. The anions are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of R₂²(8) rings. The anion chains are linked by the cations, via hydrogen‐bonding complementarities and electrostatic interactions, giving rise to a sheet structure with alternating rows of organic cations and inorganic anions. Comparison of this structure with that of the pure amine reveals that the two compounds generate characteristically different sheet structures. The anion–anion chain serves as a template for the assembly of the cations, suggesting a possible application in the design of solid‐state materials.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheet structures in neutral,anionic and hydrated 6‐amino‐2‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐5‐nitrosopyrimidines

In each of 6‐amino‐3‐methyl‐2‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐5‐nitrosopyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one, C₉H₁₃N₅O₃, (I), morpholin‐4‐ium 4‐amino‐2‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐5‐nitroso‐6‐oxo‐1,6‐dihydropyrimidin‐1‐ide, C₄H₁₀NO⁺·C₈H₁₀N₅O₃⁻, (II), and 6‐amino‐2‐(morpholin‐4‐yl)‐5‐nitrosopyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one hemihydrate, C₈H₁₁N₅O₃·0.5H₂O, (III), the bond distances within the pyrimidine components are consistent with significant electronic polarization, which is most marked in (II) and least marked in (I). Despite the high level of substitution, the pyrimidine rings are all effectively planar, and in each of the pyrimidine components, there are intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In each compound, the organic components are linked by multiple N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form sheets of widely differing construction, and in compound (III) adjacent sheets are linked by the water molecules, so forming a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded framework. This study also contains the first direct geometric comparison between the electronic polarization in a neutral aminonitrosopyrimidine and that in its ring‐deprotonated conjugate anion in a metal‐free environment.     

Octyl 1‐(5‐tert‐butyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)‐2‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole‐5‐carboxylate: complex sheets built from N—H...N,C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, C₂₉H₃₅ClN₄O₂, the bond lengths provide evidence for aromatic delocalization in the pyrazole ring but bond fixation in the fused imidazole ring, and the octyl chain is folded, rather than adopting an all‐trans chain‐extended conformation. A combination of N—H...N, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds links the molecules into sheets, in which the hydrogen bonds occupy the central layer with the tert‐butyl and octyl groups arranged on either side, such that the closest contacts between adjacent sheets involve only the octyl groups. Comparisons are made with the supramolecular assembly in some simpler analogues.     

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.     

Hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 3‐amino‐4‐anilino‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐one and a hydrogen‐bonded sheet in 3‐amino‐4‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐one

The molecules of 3‐amino‐4‐anilino‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐one, C₁₅H₁₂N₂O₂, (I), and 3‐amino‐4‐[methyl(phenyl)amino]‐1H‐isochromen‐1‐one, C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₂, (II), adopt very similar conformations, with the substituted amino group PhNR, where R = H in (I) and R = Me in (II), almost orthogonal to the adjacent heterocyclic ring. The molecules of (I) are linked into cyclic centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, while those of (II) are linked into complex sheets by a combination of one three‐centre N—H...(O)₂ hydrogen bond, one two‐centre C—H...O hydrogen bond and two C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds.     

1‐Phenyl‐5‐(piperidino­methyl)‐1H‐tetrazole

In the mol­ecule of the title 1,5‐disubstituted tetrazole, C₁₃H₁₇N₅, the tetrazole and benzene rings are not coplanar, having a dihedral angle of 42.96 (5)° between them. The piperidine fragment adopts a chair conformation, and there is a non‐classical intramolecular contact between the benzene H atom and the piperidine N atom. Intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions involving the piperidine C—H groups and the benzene rings are responsible for the formation of two‐dimensional networks, extending parallel to the ab plane. These networks are linked together into a three‐dimensional polymeric structure viaπ–π stacking interactions between the tetrazole rings of two adjacent mol­ecules.     

Synthesis and biological evaluation of new 4‐(4‐(1‐benzyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐phenylthiazole derivatives

A novel series of 4‐(4‐(1‐benzyl‐1H‐1,2,3‐triazol‐4‐yl)phenyl)‐2‐substitutedthiazole derivatives ( 8a‐l) have been synthesized by [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of 4‐(4‐ethynylphenyl)‐2‐substitutedthiazole with substituted benzyl azide in aqueous DMF. Starting compounds 4‐(4‐ethynylphenyl)‐2‐substitutedthiazole ( 6a‐d ) were synthesized by reaction of 4‐(2‐substitutedthiazol‐4‐yl)benzaldehyde with Ohira‐Bestmann reagent in methanol. The structures of these novel triazole‐thiazole clubbed derivatives were confirmed by the spectral analysis. The title compounds ( 8a‐l ) were tested for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra active and dormant (MTB, ATCC 25177) and antimicrobial activity against standard Gram‐positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus (NCIM 2602) and Bacillus subtilis (NCIM 2162), and Gram‐negative bacteria, Escherichia coli (NCIM 2576) and Pseudomonas flurescence (NCIM 2059). Compounds 8a , 8b , 8c , and 8h reported good activity against B subtilis, compounds 8a , 8b , and 8c showed good activity against S aureus, and compound 8b showed good activity against dormant M tuberculosis H37Rv strain. Compounds 8b and 8c found more potent against Gram positive and dormant M tuberculosis H37Rv strains. These novel triazole‐thiazole clubbed analogues found to be a capable leads for further optimization and development.     

A two‐dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer constructed from 4‐carboxy‐1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐5‐carboxylate and 1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxylate ligands

Crystals of poly[[aqua[μ₃‐4‐carboxy‐1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐5‐carboxylato‐κ⁵O¹O^1′:N³,O⁴:O⁵][μ₄‐1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxylato‐κ⁷N³,O⁴:O⁴,O^4′:O¹,O^1′:O¹]cadmium(II)] monohydrate], {[Cd₂(C₁₅H₁₄N₂O₄)(C₁₆H₁₄N₂O₆)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n or {[Cd₂(Hcpimda)(cpima)(H₂O)]·H₂O}_n, (I), were obtained from 1‐(4‐carboxybenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4,5‐dicarboxylic acid (H₃cpimda) and cadmium(II) chloride under hydrothermal conditions. The structure indicates that in‐situ decarboxylation of H₃cpimda occurred during the synthesis process. The asymmetric unit consists of two Cd²⁺ centres, one 4‐carboxy‐1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐5‐carboxylate (Hcpimda²⁻) anion, one 1‐(4‐carboxylatobenzyl)‐2‐propyl‐1H‐imidazole‐4‐carboxylate (cpima²⁻) anion, one coordinated water molecule and one lattice water molecule. One Cd²⁺ centre, i.e. Cd1, is hexacoordinated and displays a slightly distorted octahedral CdN₂O₄ geometry. The other Cd centre, i.e. Cd2, is coordinated by seven O atoms originating from one Hcpimda²⁻ ligand and three cpima²⁻ ligands. This Cd²⁺ centre can be described as having a distorted capped octahedral coordination geometry. Two carboxylate groups of the benzoate moieties of two cpima²⁻ ligands bridge between Cd2 centres to generate [Cd₂O₂] units, which are further linked by two cpima²⁻ ligands to produce one‐dimensional (1D) infinite chains based around large 26‐membered rings. Meanwhile, adjacent Cd1 centres are linked by Hcpimda²⁻ ligands to generate 1D zigzag chains. The two types of chains are linked through a μ₂‐η² bidentate bridging mode from an O atom of an imidazole carboxylate unit of cpima²⁻ to give a two‐dimensional (2D) coordination polymer. The simplified 2D net structure can be described as a 3,6‐coordinated net which has a (4³)₂(4⁶.6⁶.8³) topology. Furthermore, the FT–IR spectroscopic properties, photoluminescence properties, powder X‐ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern and thermogravimetric behaviour of the polymer have been investigated.     

3‐[5‐(4‐Chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionic acid and the corresponding methyl ester

The synthesis of 3‐[5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionic acid, C₁₉H₁₇ClN₂O₃, (I), and its corresponding methyl ester, methyl 3‐[5‐(4‐chlorophenyl)‐1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl]propionate, C₂₀H₁₉ClN₂O₃, (II), is regiospecific. However, correct identification of the regioisomer formed by spectroscopic techniques is not trivial and single‐crystal X‐ray analysis provided the only means of unambiguous structure determination. Compound (I) crystallizes with Z′ = 2. The propionic acid groups of the two crystallographically unique molecules form a hydrogen‐bonded dimer, as is typical of carboxylic acid groups in the solid state. Conformational differences between the methoxybenzene and pyrazole rings give rise to two unique molecules. The structure of (II) features just one molecule in the asymmetric unit and the crystal packing makes greater use than (I) of weak C—H...A interactions, despite the lack of any functional groups for classical hydrogen bonding.     

Hydrogen‐bonded networks in 1‐(4‐methoxyphenyl)‐2,2‐dimethylpropan‐1‐ol

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₂H₁₈O₂, contains two independent molecules. They differ only slightly in conformation but form completely different intermolecular hydrogen‐bonded arrays. One molecule exhibits disorder in the hydroxy group region, but this does not influence the formation of hydrogen bonds. The bulky tert‐butyl group on one side of the carbinol C atom and the benzene ring on the other side promote the formation of discrete dimeric motifs via hydrogen‐bridged hydroxy groups. Dimers are further joined by strong hydroxy–methoxy O—H...O bonds to form chains with dangling alcohol groups. Weaker intermolecular C—H...O interactions mediate the formation of a two‐dimensional network.     

All Solid State Chromium(III) Selective Potentiometric Sensor Based on 2‐(1‐(2‐((3‐(2‐Hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrozol‐1‐yl)methyl)benzyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)phenol

Highly selective all solid state electrochemical sensor based on a synthesized compound i.e. 2‐(1‐(2‐((3‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1H‐pyrozol‐1‐yl)methyl)benzyl)‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl)phenol (I) as an ionophore has been prepared and investigated for the selective quantification of chromium(III) ions. The effect of various plasticizers, viz. dibutyl phosphonate (DBP), dibutyl(butyl) phosphonate (DBBP), nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE), tris‐(2‐ethylhexyl)phosphonate (TEP), tri‐butyl phosphonate (TBP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dioctyl sebacate (DOS), benzyl acetate (BA) and acetophenone (AP) along with anion excluders NaTPB (sodium tetraphenyl borate) and KClTPB (potassium(tetrakis‐4‐chlorophenyl)borate was also studied. The optimum composition of the best performing membrane contained (I):KClTPB:NPOE:PVC in the ratio 15 : 3 : 40 : 42 w/w. The sensor exhibited near Nernstian slope of 20.1±0.2 mV/decade of activity in the working concentration range of 1.2×10^?7–1.0×10^?1 M, and in a pH range of 3.8–4.5. The sensor exhibited a fast response time of 10 s and could be used for about 5 months without any considerable divergence in potentials. The proposed sensor showed very good selectivity over most of the common cations including Na⁺, Li⁺, K⁺, Cu²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Ba²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cs⁺, Mg²⁺, Cd²⁺, Al³⁺, Fe³⁺and La³⁺. The activity of Cr(III) ions was successfully determined in the industrial waste samples by using this sensor.     

Hydrogen‐bonded molecular ladders in S‐(4‐nitrophenyl)thioglycolic acid

Molecules of the title compound, [(4‐nitro­phenyl)­sulfanyl]­acetic acid, C₈H₇NO₄S, are linked by paired O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O 1.81 Å, O?O 2.6456 (15) Å and O—H?O 178°] into centrosymmetric dimers containing an R(8) motif. A single C—H?O hydrogen bond having a nitro O atom as acceptor [H?O 2.47 Å, 3.3018 (19) Å and C—H?O 147°] links the dimers into a molecular ladder, and neighbouring ladders are weakly linked into sheets by aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions.

The shortest interactions between the cation and the anion in (I) and (II) are pyridinium N—H...(O,O) bifurcated hydrogen bonds, which act as the primary intermolecular interaction in each crystal structure. In (III), an amide N—H...(O,O) bifurcated hydrogen bond, which is much weaker than the bifurcated hydrogen bonds in (I) and (II), connects the cation and the anion.
