4‐Iodo­anilinium 3‐nitro­phthalate(1–): tripartite sheets built from O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds

In the title compound, 4‐iodoanilinium 2‐carboxy‐6‐nitrobenzoate, C₆H₇IN⁺·C₈H₄NO₆⁻, the anions are linked by an O—H...O hydrogen bond [H...O = 1.78 Å, O...O = 2.614 (3) Å and O—H...O = 171°] into C(7) chains, and these chains are linked by two two‐centre N—H...O hydrogen bonds [H...O = 1.86 and 1.92 Å, N...O = 2.700 (3) and 2.786 (3) Å, and N—H...O = 153 and 158°] and one three‐centre N—H...(O)₂ hydrogen bond [H...O = 2.02 and 2.41 Å, N...O = 2.896 (3) and 2.789 (3) Å, N—H...O = 162 and 105°, and O...H...O = 92°], thus forming sheets con­taining R(6), R(8), R(13) and R(18) rings.     

Naphthalene‐1,6‐diol: a three‐dimensional framework built from O—H...O,O—H...π and C—H...O hydrogen bonds

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₈O₂, contains two practically planar symmetry‐independent molecules linked by one O—H...O hydrogen bond. Molecules are further linked into a three‐dimensional network, which is built from R₆⁶(36), R₆⁶(18), R₆⁶(30) and R₄⁴(26) rings formed by the combined effect of three O—H...O and one C—H...O hydrogen bond. This network is additionally stabilized by an O—H...π interaction.     

Cocrystals of 6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil: N—H...O versus N—H...S hydrogen bonds

In order to investigate the relative stability of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds, we cocrystallized the antithyroid drug 6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil with two complementary heterocycles. In the cocrystal pyrimidin‐2‐amine–6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil (1/2), C₄H₅N₃·2C₇H₁₀N₂OS, (I), the `base pair' is connected by one N—H...S and one N—H...N hydrogen bond. Homodimers of 6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil linked by two N—H...S hydrogen bonds are observed in the cocrystal N‐(6‐acetamidopyridin‐2‐yl)acetamide–6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil (1/2), C₉H₁₁N₃O₂·2C₇H₁₀N₂OS, (II). The crystal structure of 6‐propyl‐2‐thiouracil itself, C₇H₁₀N₂OS, (III), is stabilized by pairwise N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds. In all three structures, N—H...S hydrogen bonds occur only within R₂²(8) patterns, whereas N—H...O hydrogen bonds tend to connect the homo‐ and heterodimers into extended networks. In agreement with related structures, the hydrogen‐bonding capability of C=O and C=S groups seems to be comparable.     

2‐Ethyl‐6‐methylpyridin‐3‐ol and its salt bis(2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium) succinate

The title compounds, C₈H₁₁NO, (I), and 2C₈H₁₂NO⁺·C₄H₄O₄²⁻, (II), both crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. In the crystal structure of (I), intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bonds combine the molecules into polymeric chains extending along the c axis. The chains are linked by C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms and the pyridine rings into polymeric layers parallel to the ac plane. In the crystal structure of (II), the succinate anion lies on an inversion centre. Its carboxylate groups interact with the 2‐ethyl‐3‐hydroxy‐6‐methylpyridinium cations via intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds with the pyridine ring H atoms and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the hydroxy H atoms to form polymeric chains, which extend along the [01] direction and comprise R₄⁴(18) hydrogen‐bonded ring motifs. These chains are linked to form a three‐dimensional network through nonclassical C—H...O hydrogen bonds between the pyridine ring H atoms and the hydroxy‐group O atoms of neighbouring cations. π–π interactions between the pyridine rings and C—H...π interactions between the methylene H atoms of the succinate anion and the pyridine rings are also present in this network.     

Hydrogen‐bonding patterns in rac‐1‐acetyl‐5‐methyl‐2‐thioxoimidazolidin‐4‐one

In the title compound, C₆H₈N₂O₂S, also known as N‐acetyl‐2‐thiohydantoin–alanine, the molecules are joined by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming centrosymmetric R₂²(8) dimers; these dimers are linked by C—H...O interactions to form R₂²(10) rings, thus forming C₂²(10) chains that run along the [101] direction.     

Tolterodinium (+)‐(2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate

In the crystal structure of (R)‐N,N‐diisopropyl‐3‐(2‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl­phenyl)‐3‐phenyl­propyl­aminium (2R,3R)‐hydrogen tartrate, C₂₂H₃₂NO⁺·C₄H₅O₆⁻, the hydrogen tartrate anions are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form helical chains built from (9) rings. These chains are linked by the tolterodine molecules via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form separate sheets parallel to the (101) plane.     

2‐Ethyl‐1‐[5‐(4‐methylphenyl)pyrazol‐3‐yl]‐3‐(thiophene‐2‐carbonyl)isothiourea: molecular ribbons containing three types of hydrogen‐bonded ring

The title compound, C₁₈H₁₈N₄OS₂, was prepared by reaction of S,S‐diethyl 2‐thenoylimidodithiocarbonate with 5‐amino‐3‐(4‐methylphenyl)‐1H‐pyrazole using microwave irradiation under solvent‐free conditions. In the molecule, the thiophene unit is disordered over two sets of atomic sites, with occupancies of 0.814 (4) and 0.186 (4), and the bonded distances provide evidence for polarization in the acylthiourea fragment and for aromatic type delocalization in the pyrazole ring. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond is present, forming an S(6) motif, and molecules are linked by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form a ribbon in which centrosymmetric R₂²(4) rings, built from N—H...O hydrogen bonds and flanked by inversion‐related pairs of S(6) rings, alternate with centrosymmetric R₂²(6) rings built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds.     

Hydrogen bonding in C‐substituted nitroanilines: molecular ladders in 2‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline and sheets of R(12) and R(32) rings in 3‐trifluoromethyl‐4‐nitroaniline

In 2‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, C₇H₅F₃N₂O₂, (I), the mol­ecules lie across a mirror plane in space group Pnma. The mol­ecules are linked by paired N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a C(8)[R(6)] chain of rings, pairs of which are linked into a molecular ladder by a single C—H?O hydrogen bond. The isomeric 3‐tri­fluoro­methyl‐4‐nitro­aniline, (II), has Z′ = 2 in space group P2₁/c. Each mol­ecule is linked to four others by N—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from alternating R(12) and R(32) rings.     

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.     

2‐Cyano‐4‐iodoacetanilide: a hydrogen‐bonded chain of R22(12) and R22(14) rings

The molecules of 2‐cyano‐4‐iodoacetanilide, C₉H₇IN₂O, are linked by N—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of alternating R₂²(12) and R₂²(14) rings.     

5‐Amino‐1‐naphthol: two‐dimensional sheets built up from R44(18) rings formed by O—H...N,N—H...O and π–π interactions

The crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₀H₉NO, (I), contains intermolecular O—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds which together form sheets parallel to the (001) plane containing rings with an unusual R₄⁴(18) motif. These rings are additionally stabilized by an intermolecular π–π stacking interaction. The significance of this study lies in the comparison drawn between the molecular structure of (I) and those of related compounds (1,5‐diaminonaphthalene, 8‐amino‐2‐naphthol, 3‐amino‐2‐naphthol and aniline), which shows a close similarity in the noncoplanar orientation of the amine group and the aromatic moiety. Comparison of the crystal structures of (I) and several of its simple analogues (1‐naphthol, naphthalene‐1,4‐diol, naphthalene‐1,5‐diol and 4‐chloro‐1‐naphthol) shows a close similarity in the packing of the molecules, which form π‐stacks along the shortest crystallographic axes with a substantial spatial overlap between adjacent molecules.     

5‐Methyl‐N‐[2‐nitro‐4‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]‐1H‐pyrazole‐3‐amine: a chain of hydrogen‐bonded R22(6) and R22(16) rings

The molecular skeleton of the title compound, C₁₁H₉F₃N₄O₂, is almost planar and exhibits a polarized (charge‐separated) electronic structure in the nitroaniline portion. Molecules are linked by N—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds to form a chain in which centrosymmetric R₂²(6) and R₂²(16) rings alternate.     

2‐[2‐(Pyrrolidin‐2‐yl)propan‐2‐yl]‐1H‐pyrrole and its amide derivative 1‐{2‐[2‐(1H‐pyrrol‐2‐yl)propan‐2‐yl]pyrrolidin‐1‐yl}ethanone

In the title compounds, C₁₁H₁₈N₂, (II), and C₁₃H₂₀N₂O, (III), the pyrrolidine rings have twist conformations. Compound (II) crystallizes with two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The mean planes of the pyrrole and pyrrolidine rings are inclined to one another by 89.99 (11) and 89.35 (10)° in molecules A and B, respectively. In (III), the amide derivative of (II), the same dihedral angle is much smaller, at only 13.42 (10)°. In the crystal structure of (II), the individual molecules are linked via N—H...N hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers, each with an R²₂(12) graph‐set motif. In the crystal structure of (III), the molecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds to form inversion dimers with an R²₂(16) graph‐set motif.     

3‐[(E)‐(3‐tert‐Butyl‐1‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐yl)iminomethyl]quinolin‐2(1H)‐one: chains built by π‐stacking of hydrogen‐bonded R22(8) dimers

In the title compound, C₂₃H₂₂N₄O, there is evidence for some bond fixation in the aryl component of the quinolinone unit. Pairs of molecules related by inversion are linked into R₂²(8) dimers by almost linear N—H...O hydrogen bonds, and dimers related by inversion are linked into chains by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

Hydrogen‐bonded ribbons in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile

The pyrimidine rings in ethyl (E)‐3‐[2‐amino‐4,6‐bis(dimethylamino)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]‐2‐cyanoacrylate, C₁₄H₂₀N₆O₂, (I), and 2‐[(2‐amino‐4,6‐di‐1‐piperidylpyrimidin‐5‐yl)methylene]malononitrile, C₁₈H₂₃N₇, (II), which crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group, are both nonplanar with boat conformations. The molecules of (I) are linked by a combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₄⁴(20) rings, while the two independent molecules in (II) are linked by four N—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R₂²(8) and R₂²(20) rings. This study illustrates both the readiness with which highly‐substituted pyrimidine rings can be distorted from planarity and the significant differences between the supramolecular aggregation in two rather similar compounds.     

N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular networks in 4‐chloroanilinium, 2‐hydroxyanilinium and 3‐hydroxyanilinium hydrogen phthalates

The title salts, 4‐chloroanilinium hydrogen phthalate (PCAHP), C₆H₇ClN⁺·C₈H₅O₄⁻, 2‐hydroxyanilinium hydrogen phthalate (2HAHP), C₆H₈NO⁺·C₈H₅O₄⁻, and 3‐hydroxyanilinium hydrogen phthalate (3HAHP), C₆H₈NO⁺·C₈H₅O₄⁻, all crystallize in the space group P2₁/c.

N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with short C—H...O contacts in PCAHP and 3HAHP, generate extended hydrogen‐bond networks. PCAHP forms a two‐dimensional supramolecular sheet extending in the (100) plane, whereas 2HAHP has a supramolecular chain running parallel to the [100] direction and 3HAHP has a two‐dimensional network extending parallel to the (001) plane.     

3‐{[4‐Amino‐6‐methoxy‐2‐(methylsulfanyl)pyrimidin‐5‐yl]amino}‐1,2′‐biindenylidene‐1′,3′‐dione dimethyl sulfoxide solvate: π‐stacked sheets of hydrogen‐bonded chains of edge‐fused rings

In the title compound, C₂₄H₁₈N₄O₃S·C₂H₆OS, the biindenylidene component shows evidence of polarization of the electronic structure. The dimethyl sulfoxide solvent molecules are disordered over two sites, and they are linked to the biindenylidenedione components via N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. A combination of N—H...N and N—H...O hydrogen bonds links the nonsolvent components into a chain of edge‐fused centrosymmetric R₂²(8) and R₂²(22) rings, and these chains are linked into sheets by a single aromatic π–π stacking interaction.     

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.

The title compound, [Co(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], forms a three‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular structure. The Co^II ion is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridyl N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₂²(8), R₂²(12) and R₂²(14) rings, which lead to two‐dimensional chains. An extensive three‐dimensional supramolecular network of C—H...O, N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions is responsible for crystal structure stabilization. This study is an example of the construction of a supramolecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in mixed‐ligand metal complexes.

The title compound, [Cu(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₆H₆N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂], is a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonded supramolecular complex. The Cu^II ion resides on a centre of symmetry and is in an octahedral coordination environment comprising two pyridine N atoms, two carboxylate O atoms and two O atoms from water molecules. Intermolecular N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds produce R₂²(4), R₂²(8) and R₂²(15) rings which lead to one‐dimensional polymeric chains. An extensive two‐dimensional network of N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions are responsible for crystal stabilization.
