Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): a finite cyclic 1:1 adduct with 2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine

In ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–2,2′‐dipyridyl­amine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₀H₉N₃, (I), there is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.03 Å, O?O 2.775 (2) Å and O—H?O 147°] in the ferrocenediol component, and the two neutral molecular components are linked by one O—H?N hydrogen bond [H?N 1.96 Å, O?N 2.755 (2) Å and O—H?N, 157°] and one N—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 2.26 Å, N?O 3.112 (2) Å and N—H?O 164°] forming a cyclic R(8) motif. One of the pyridyl N atoms plays no part in the intermolecular hydrogen bonding, but participates in a short intramolecular C—H?N contact [H?N 2.31 Å, C?N 2.922 (2) Å and C—H?N 122°].     

catena‐Poly[thorium(IV)‐tetrakis(μ2‐3‐carboxyadamantane‐1‐carboxylato)]: a quadruple helical strand driven by a synergy of coordination and hydrogen bonding

The title compound, [Th(C₁₂H₁₅O₄)₄]_n, is the first homoleptic thorium–carboxylate coordination polymer. It has a one‐dimensional structure supported by the bidentate bridging coordination of the singly charged 3‐carboxyadamantane‐1‐carboxylate (HADC⁻) anions. The metal ion is situated on a fourfold axis (site symmetry 4) and possesses a square‐antiprismatic ThO₈ coordination, including four bonds to anionic carboxylate groups [Th—O = 2.359 (2) Å] and four to neutral carboxyl groups [Th—O = 2.426 (2) Å], while a strong hydrogen bond between these two kinds of O‐atom donor [O...O = 2.494 (3) Å] affords planar pseudo‐chelated Th{CO₂...HO₂C} cycles. This combination of coordination and hydrogen bonding is responsible for the generation of quadruple helical strands of HADC⁻ ligands, which are wrapped around a linear chain of Th^IV ions [Th...Th = 7.5240 (4) Å] defining the helical axis.     

An interpenetrating primitive cubic net formed by hydrogen bonds and coordination bonds in catena‐poly[[bis(methanol‐κO)bis(thiocyanato‐κN)iron(II)]‐μ‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridylmethylene)hydrazine‐κ2N:N′]

In the title compound, [Fe(NCS)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)(CH₄O)₂]_n, at 153 (2) K, the Fe atom is located on an inversion centre, as is the centre of the N—N bond in the ligand molecule. The structure contains a one‐dimensional coordination polymer with an Fe...Fe distance of 15.866 (7) Å and can be described as two interpenetrating six‐connected primitive cubic (pcu) three‐dimensional networks when additional intermolecular O—H...S hydrogen bonds are taken into account. The compound is not isostructural with the corresponding Mn^II compound as they differ in the rotation around the M—O bond by 90°, giving rise to completely different hydrogen‐bond patterns. This study demonstrates the impact of conformational differences on the final supramolecular arrangement.     

trans‐Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide‐κO)bis(3‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinoxaline‐2‐carboxylato‐κ2N1,O2)copper(II)

The title compound, [Cu(C₉H₅N₂O₃)₂(C₂H₆OS)₂], consists of octahedrally coordinated Cu^II ions, with the 3‐oxo‐3,4‐dihydroquinoxaline‐2‐carboxylate ligands acting in a bidentate manner [Cu—O = 1.9116 (14) Å and Cu—N = 2.1191 (16) Å] and a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecule coordinated axially via the O atom [Cu—O = 2.336 (5) and 2.418 (7) Å for the major and minor disorder components, respectively]. The whole DMSO molecule exhibits positional disorder [0.62 (1):0.38 (1)]. The octahedron around the Cu^II atom, which lies on an inversion centre, is elongated in the axial direction, exhibiting a Jahn–Teller effect. The ligand exhibits tautomerization by H‐atom transfer from the hydroxyl group at position 3 to the N atom at position 4 of the quinoxaline ring of the ligand. The complex molecules are linked through an intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond [N...O = 2.838 (2) Å] formed between the quinoxaline NH group and a carboxylate O atom, and by a weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond [3.392 (11) Å] formed between a carboxylate O atom and a methyl C atom of the DMSO ligand. There is a weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond [3.065 (3) Å] formed between a benzene CH group and a carboxylate O atom.     

Di­chloro­bis(1‐propyl­imidazolidine‐2‐thione‐κS)­cobalt(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [CoCl₂(C₆H₁₂N₂S)₂], consists of monomer units of a Co^II atom coordinated to two 1‐propyl­imidazolidine‐2‐thione ligands and to two chloride ions. The heterocyclic thione ligand is monodentate and coordinated to the metal through the thione S atom. The environment around the Co^II atom is a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The Co—S bond lengths are 2.341 (2) and 2.330 (2) Å, and the Co—Cl bond lengths are 2.234 (2) and 2.238 (2) Å. The most important point of distortion is the S—Co—S bond angle of only 97.83 (8)°. Intramolecular classical hydrogen bonds are found between the chloride ions and the N—H groups. Additionally, intra‐ and intermolecular non‐classical hydrogen bonds are found.     

4,7‐Bis(4‐pyridyl­ethynyl)‐2,1,3‐benzo­thia­diazo­le and its dipyridinium diperchlorate

The dipyridinium dication mol­ecules stack along the a axis and form a dimer with short S?N interheteroatom contacts [3.146 (4) Å] between the two 1,2,5‐thia­diazo­le rings. The dimer is surrounded by the perchlorate anions with which it forms a large number of intermolecular N—H?O and C—H?O hydrogen bonds.     

4‐Fluoro‐2‐(phospho­no­methyl)­benzene­sulfonic acid monohydrate

The title compound, C₇H₈FO₆PS·H₂O, contains both phospho­nic and sulfonic acid functionalities. An extensive network of O—H?O hydrogen bonds is present in the crystal structure. The three acidic protons are associated with the phospho­nate group. Two protons experience typical hydrogen‐bond contacts with the sulfonate‐O atoms, while the third has a longer covalent bond of 1.05 (3) Å to the phospho­nate‐O atom and a short hydrogen‐bond contact of 1.38 (3) Å to the water O atom (all O—H?O angles are in the range 162–175°). The sulfonate group is positioned so that one S—O bond is nearly coplanar with the phenyl ring [torsion angle O—S—C—C ?8.6 (2)°]. The phospho­nate group is oriented approximately perpendicular to the ring [torsion angle P—C—C—C 99.2 (2)°] with one P—O bond anti to the benzyl C—C bond. The mol­ecules pack in layers in the b–c plane with the water mol­ecules in between adjacent pairs of inverted layers.     

Bis(methanol‐κO)dioxido[3,3′‐(1H‐1,2,4‐triazole‐3,5‐diyl)diphenolato‐κ3O,N4,O′]uranium(VI) methanol monosolvate

The structure of the title compound, [U(C₁₄H₉N₃O₂)O₂(CH₃OH)₂]·CH₃OH, is the first to be reported for an actinide complex including triazole ligands. The U^VI atom exhibits a pentagonal–bipyramidal NO₆ coordination environment, involving two axial oxide ligands [U=O = 1.766 (3) and 1.789 (3) Å], four equatorial O atoms [U—O = 2.269 (3)–2.448 (3) Å] from the ligand and the two coordinated methanol molecules, and one equatorial N atom [U—N = 2.513 (4) Å] from the ligand. In the crystal structure, the complex molecules are linked via intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a two‐dimensional structure.     

π‐Stacked hydrogen‐bonded dimers in 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid,and hydrogen‐bonded sheets in orthorhombic and monoclinic polymorphs of 2‐(4‐nitro­phenyl­amino­carbonyl)­benzoic acid

Molecules of 2‐(2‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid, C₁₄H₁₀N₂O₅, are linked into centrosymmetric R(8) dimers by a single O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.623 (2) Å and O—H⋯O = 178°] and these dimers are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction. The isomeric compound 2‐(4‐nitrophenylaminocarbonyl)benzoic acid crystallizes in two polymorphic forms. In the orthorhombic form (space group P2₁2₁2₁ with Z′ = 1, crystallized from ethanol), the mol­ecules are linked into sheets of R(22) rings by a combination of one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.96 Å, N⋯O = 2.833 (3) Å and N—H⋯O = 171°] and one O—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 1.78 Å, O⋯O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H⋯O = 173°]. In the monoclinic form (space group P2₁/n with Z′ = 2, crystallized from acetone), the mol­ecules are linked by a combination of two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 2.09 and 2.16 Å, N⋯O = 2.873 (4) and 2.902 (3) Å, and N—H⋯O = 147 and 141°] and two O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [H⋯O = 1.84 and 1.83 Å, O⋯O = 2.664 (3) and 2.666 (3) Å, and O—H⋯O = 166 and 174°] into sheets of some complexity. These sheets are linked into a three‐dimensional framework by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond [H⋯O = 2.45 Å, C⋯O = 3.355 (4) Å and C—­H⋯O = 160°].     

trans‐Chloro(2‐nitro­benzene­thiolato‐S)­bis­(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐P)palladium(II) mono­acetone solvate

Molecules of the title compound, [PdCl(C₆H₄NO₂S)(PPh₃)₂]·­C₃H₆O, exhibit a slight distortion from exact planarity at the Pd atom towards tetrahedral, with P—Pd—P and Cl—Pd—S angles of 174.98 (3) and 174.19 (3)°, respectively. The Pd—Cl and Pd—S bonds are, respectively, long [2.3550 (11) Å] and short [2.3020 (12) Å] for their types; the S—C bond is also very short [1.744 (4) Å]. The solvating acetone mol­ecule is linked to one of the phosphine ligands by means of a C—H?O hydrogen bond.

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₆NO₂)₂(H₂O)₄]·4H₂O, contains a Co^II ion lying on a crystallographic inversion centre. The Co^II ion is octahedrally coordinated by two 6‐methylpyridine‐3‐carboxylate ligands in axial positions [Co—O = 2.0621 (9) Å] and by four water molecules in the equatorial plane [Co—O = 2.1169 (9) and 2.1223 (11) Å]. There are also four uncoordinated water molecules. The 6‐methylpyridine‐3‐carboxylate ligands are bound to the Co^II ion in a monodentate manner through a carboxylate O atom. There is one strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, and six strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds of type O—H...O and one of type O—H...N in the packing, resulting in a complex three‐dimensional supramolecular structure.

The keto–amine structure is favoured by through‐mol­ecule conjugation between the hydroxy O atom and imine N atom. The dihedral angle between the planes of the two aromatic rings is 10.79 (4)°.     

Chloro{2,2′‐[(1S,2S)‐1,2‐di­phenyl‐1,2‐ethanediyl­bis­(nitrilo­methyl­idyne)]­diphenolato‐κ4O,N,N′,O′}(ethanol‐κO)­manganese(III)

The crystal structure of the title compound, [MnCl(C₂₈H₂₂N₂O₂)(C₂H₆O)], has been determined at 173 (2) K in the non‐centrosymmetric space group P2₁2₁2₁. The asymmetric unit contains two molecular units. An intermolecular O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is formed between the OH group of an ethanol mol­ecule coordinated to the Mn atom and the coordinated Cl⁻ anion, and so polymeric chains of Mn‐containing fragments are formed [O—H⋯Cl = 3.1281 (16) and 3.1282 (15) Å]. The Mn atoms have a pseudo‐octahedral coordination sphere, with the four donor atoms of the Schiff base forming an equatorial plane [Mn—O distances are 1.8740 (13), 1.8717 (13), 1.8749 (13) and 1.8823 (13) Å, and Mn—N distances are 1.9868 (15), 1.9910 (14), 1.9828 (15) and 1.9979 (14) Å]. The axial positions are occupied by an ethanol mol­ecule [Mn—O distances of 2.3069 (15) and 2.3130 (15) Å] and a Cl⁻ ligand [Mn—Cl distances of 2.5732 (6) and 2.5509 (6) Å].     

(E)‐2‐[2‐(1‐Naphthyl)­vinyl]‐3‐tosyl‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1,3‐benzo­thia­zole

The title compound, C₂₆H₂₁NO₂S₂, which consists of a benzo­thia­zole skeleton with α‐naphthyl­vinyl and tosyl groups at positions 2 and 3, respectively, was prepared by palladium–copper‐catalyzed heteroannulation. The E configuration of the mol­ecule about the vinyl C=C bond is established by the benzothiazole–naphthyl C—C—C—C torsion angle of 177.5 (4)°. The five‐membered heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation with the Csp³ atom 0.380 (6) Å from the C₂NS plane. The two S—C [1.751 (4) and 1.838 (4) Å] and two N—C [1.426 (5) and 1.482 (5) Å] bond lengths in the thia­zole ring differ significantly.     

mer‐Bis(1,4‐dibenzoylthiosemicarbazidato‐κ3O,N,O′)cobalt(II)

The title complex, [Co(C₁₅H₁₂N₃O₂S)₂], consists of an octahedrally coordinated Co^II ion, with two crystallographically independent 1,4‐dibenzoylthiosemicarbazidate ligands in a tridentate mer coordination [Co—O = 2.064 (3)–2.132 (3) Å and Co—N = 2.037 (3)–2.043 (3) Å]. There are intermolecular N—H...S hydrogen bonds involving one ligand and strong π–π stacking interactions involving the other ligand, resulting in a three‐dimensional supramolecular framework. The hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions, as well as different intramolecular aryl–benzamide H—C...H(—N) distances, give rise to a difference in conformation between the two ligands.

The ions are linked into continuous chains by means of four types of N—H?O hydrogen bonds with N?O distances ranging from 2.7238 (12) Å to 3.3091 (13) Å, associated with N—H?O angles in the range 148–160°.     

7‐Carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate at 100 K

Both 7‐carboxyl­ato‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium monohydrate, C₁₁H₉NO₃·H₂O, (I), and 7‐carboxy‐8‐hydroxy‐2‐methyl­quinolinium chloride monohydrate, C₁₁H₁₀NO₃⁺·Cl⁻·H₂O, (II), crystallize in the centrosymmetric P space group. Both compounds display an intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the hydroxy group; this hydrogen bond is stronger in (I) due to its zwitterionic character [O⋯O = 2.4449 (11) Å in (I) and 2.5881 (12) Å in (II)]. In both crystal structures, the HN⁺ group participates in the stabilization of the structure via intermolecular hydrogen bonds with water mol­ecules [N⋯O = 2.7450 (12) Å in (I) and 2.8025 (14) Å in (II)]. In compound (II), a hydrogen‐bond network connects the Cl⁻ anion to the carboxylic acid group [Cl⋯O = 2.9641 (11) Å] and to two water mol­ecules [Cl⋯O = 3.1485 (10) and 3.2744 (10) Å].

There are no iodo–nitro interactions.     

Precursor of a β‐lactamase inhibitor: allyl (4S,8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.03,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate

The molecular structure of the title tricyclic compound, C₁₇H₂₁NO₄, which is the immediate precursor of a potent synthetic inhibitor {Lek157: sodium (8S,9R)‐10‐[(E)‐ethyl­idene]‐4‐methoxy‐11‐oxo‐1‐aza­tri­cyclo­[7.2.0.0^3,8]­undec‐2‐ene‐2‐carboxyl­ate} with remarkable potency, provides experimental evidence for the previously modelled relative position of the fused cyclo­hexyl ring and the carbonyl group of the β‐lactam ring, which takes part in the formation of the initial tetrahedral acyl–enzyme complex. In this hydro­phobic mol­ecule, the overall geometry is influenced by C—H?O intramolecular hydrogen bonds [3.046 (4) and 3.538 (6) Å, with corresponding normalized H?O distances of 2.30 and 2.46 Å], whereas the mol­ecules are interconnected through intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds [3.335 (4)–3.575 (5) Å].
