Triclinic and orthorhombic polymorphs of 2‐iodo‐4‐nitro­aniline: interplay of hydrogen bonds,nitro⃛I interactions and aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions

In the triclinic polymorph of 2‐iodo‐4‐nitro­aniline, C₆H₅IN₂O₂, space group P, the mol­ecules are linked by paired N—­H?O hydrogen bonds into C(8)[R(6)] chains of rings. These chains are linked into sheets by nitro?I interactions, and the sheets are pairwise linked by aromatic π–π‐stacking interactions. In the orthorhombic polymorph, space group Pbca, the mol­ecules are linked by single N—H?O hydrogen bonds into spiral C(8) chains; the chains are linked by nitro?O interactions into sheets, each of which is linked to its two immediate neighbours by aromatic π–π‐stacking inter­actions, so producing a continuous three‐dimensional ­structure.     

Supramolecular structures of 5‐[3‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐ and 5‐[3‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione

2,2‐Di­methyl‐5‐[3‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐1,3‐di­ox­ane‐4,6‐dione, C₁₆H₁₆O₄, crystallizes in the triclinic space group , with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. These mol­ecules and a centrosymmetrically related pair, linked together by weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds, form a tetramer. 5‐[3‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione, C₁₅H₁₃ClO₄, also crystallizes in the triclinic space group , with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. Centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules are linked together by weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form dimers which are further linked by yet another pair of centrosymmetrically related C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a tube which runs parallel to the a axis.     

3,5‐Dichloro‐4‐cyano­benzoic acid: two polymorphs and the 0.25‐hydrate,exhibiting two‐dimensional ribbons and nets involving hydrogen‐bonding and inter­molecular Cl⋯N inter­actions

Two polymorphs of 3,5‐dichloro‐4‐cyano­benzoic acid, C₈H₃Cl₂NO₂, viz. triclinic and monoclinic, and its 0.25‐hydrate, C₈H₃Cl₂NO₂·0.25H₂O, form crystals in which hydrogen bonding and Cl⋯N inter­actions appear to be equally important to the structures. In all three structures, there are hydrogen‐bonded (COOH) dimers of the well known cyclic type, but in the hydrate there are also dimers in which the two opposing COOH groups are separated by a water mol­ecule. In the monoclinic polymorph and in the hydrate, the inter­molecular inter­actions form two‐dimensional nets inter­woven three at a time. For both the triclinic and monoclinic polymorphs, Z′= 2.     

Two polymorphic forms of N‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐5‐[(4‐chlorophenyl)aminomethyl]‐6‐methyl‐2‐phenyl­pyrimidin‐4‐amine

Two polymorphic forms of the title compound, C₂₄H₂₀Cl₂N₄, were obtained and characterized using X‐ray crystal structure analysis. Colourless crystals of polymorph (Ia) were obtained from the oily mother residue. Recrystallization of polymorph (Ia) from an acetone–methanol mixture resulted in pale‐yellow crystals of polymorph (Ib). The major feature distinguishing the two polymorphic forms is their inter­action modes, and hence their packing arrangements. In the crystal structure of polymorph (Ia), there are N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and also aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between mol­ecules. The mol­ecules of polymorph (Ib) are linked by N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds only.     

Two polymorphs,with Z′ = 1 and 2, of 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐morpholino­pyrimidine in P21/c,and 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐piperidino­pyrimidine,which is isomorphous and almost isostructural with the Z′ = 2 polymorph

Crystallization of 2‐amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐morpholino­pyrimidine, C₈H₁₁ClN₄O, (I), yields two polymorphs, both with space group P2₁/c, having Z′ = 1 (from diethyl ether solution) and Z′ = 2 (from di­chloro­methane solution), denoted (Ia) and (Ib), respectively. In polymorph (Ia), the mol­ecules are linked by an N—H⋯O and an N—H⋯N hydrogen bond into sheets built from alternating R(8) and R(40) rings. In polymorph (Ib), one mol­ecule acts as a triple acceptor of hydrogen bonds and the other acts as a single acceptor; one N—H⋯O and three N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules in a complex chain containing two types of R(8) and one type of R(18) ring. 2‐Amino‐4‐chloro‐6‐piperidino­pyrimidine, C₉H₁₃ClN₄, (II), which is isomorphous with polymorph (Ib), also has Z′ = 2 in P2₁/c, and the mol­ecules are linked by three N—­H⋯N hydrogen bonds into a centrosymmetric four‐mol­ecule aggregate containing three R(8) rings.     

Two polymorphs of N,N′‐diphenethyl­terephthalamide

The title compound, C₂₄H₂₄N₂O₂, crystallizes as a triclinic polymorph from dimethyl­formamide and a monoclinic polymorph from ethanol. In both forms, the mol­ecule displays crystallographic inversion symmetry, and the packing involves translationally related `ladders' of mol­ecules connected by N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. Differences between the structures can be rationalized in terms of weak C—H⋯O contacts. Powder and differential scanning calorimetry investigations of new samples gave no evidence for the triclinic form, and it seems to represent a disappearing polymorph.     

A triclinic polymorph of 1,3‐thia­zolidine‐2‐thione (2‐mercaptothia­zoline)

A planar conformation of 1,3‐thia­zolidine‐2‐thione (TZDTH), C₃H₅NS₂, was crystallized for the first time. The new triclinic polymorph (P) obtained was compared in terms of its intra‐ and inter­molecular geometry with three previous reports of a monoclinic polymorph (P2₁/n). The packing is based on centrosymmetric dimers of TZDTH, linked by N—H⋯S 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.     

1‐Methyl‐5,6‐di­phenyl­pyrazine‐2(1H)‐thione

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₄N₂S, crystallizes in a triclinic unit cell, with two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The two independent mol­ecules pack in the same sense and form segregated layers along the c axis. The crystal is light‐stable and no dimers are formed under irradiation. The intermolecular distances between the potential reactive centers (the C‐3 and C‐5 ring positions) are 4.093 (4) and 5.643 (4) Å for mol­ecule A, and 4.081 (4) and 5.614 (4) Å for mol­ecule B.     

Two polymorphs of bis(2‐bromophenyl) di­sulfide

Colourless crystals of the title compound, bis(2‐bromo­phenyl) di­sulfide, C₁₂H₈Br₂S₂, are obtained from the reaction of 2‐bromo­phenyl­mercaptan with metallic sodium and either zinc chloride or cadmium chloride in methanol. In the presence of Zn^II ions, the crystals are orthorhombic (space group Pbca, with Z′ = 1); with Cd^II ions present, the product is triclinic (space group , with Z′ = 4). Both polymorphs exhibit significant intramolecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. In the ortho­rhombic form, mol­ecules are linked by intermolecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, while in the triclinic form, mol­ecules exhibit Br⋯Br contacts.     

2‐Hydroxy‐3‐(3‐oxobut­yl)naphthalene‐1,4‐dione

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂O₄, forms crystals which appear monoclinic but are actually twinned triclinic. The asymmetric unit consists of two similar mol­ecules, which differ only in the conformation of the 3‐oxobutyl side chain. The mol­ecular conformation is characterized by an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group and the adjacent carbonyl O atom. The crystal structure is stabilized by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connecting the mol­ecules into zigzag chains running along the b axis.     

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.     

The crystal packing of 4,7‐dichloro‐ and 4,7‐dibromobenzo[c]furazan 1‐oxide

The molecular structures of 4,7‐di­chloro­benzo­[c]­fur­azan 1‐­oxide, C₆H₂Cl₂N₂O₂, (I), and 4,7‐di­bromo­benzo­[c]­fur­azan 1‐oxide, C₆H₂Br₂N₂O₂, (II), are normal. Compound (I) occurs in two polymorphic forms. One polymorph contains one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, organized into two‐dimensional sheets involving intermolecular N?Cl and O?Cl inter­actions. The second polymorph has three mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, organized into two crystallographically different two‐dimensional sheets with similar interactions. Compound (II) is isomorphous with the second polymorph of (I). The three two‐dimensional sheets in the two polymorphs comprise a set of three two‐dimensional polymorphic arrangements.     

A second monoclinic polymorph of S‐­(4‐tolyl) 4‐toluenethiosulfonate at 150 and 293 K

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₄O₂S₂, contains discrete mol­ecules and is a polymorph of a structure reported previously by Caputo, Palumbo, Nardelli & Pelizzi [Gazz. Chim. Ital. (1984), 114 , 421–430]. The present structure contains no intermolecular C—H?O hydrogen bonds, whereas in the previous polymorph, the mol­ecules are linked into continuous chains by such interactions.     

Proton‐transfer and non‐transfer in compounds of quinoline and quinaldic acid with l‐tartaric acid

The structures of two compounds of l ‐tartaric acid with quinoline, viz. the proton‐transfer compound quinolinium hydrogen (2R,3R)‐tartrate monohydrate, C₉H₈N⁺·C₄H₅O₆⁻·H₂O, (I), and the anhydrous non‐proton‐transfer adduct with quinaldic acid, bis­(quinolinium‐2‐carboxyl­ate) (2R,3R)‐tar­taric acid, 2C₁₀H₇NO₂·C₄H₆O₆, (II), have been determined at 130 K. Compound (I) has a three‐dimensional honeycomb substructure formed from head‐to‐tail hydrogen‐bonded hydrogen tartrate anions and water mol­ecules. The stacks of π‐bonded quinolinium cations are accommodated within the channels and are hydrogen bonded to it peripherally. Compound (II) has a two‐dimensional network structure based on pseudo‐centrosymmetric head‐to‐tail hydrogen‐bonded cyclic dimers comprising zwitterionic quinaldic acid species which are inter­linked by tartaric acid mol­ecules.     

N‐Propionyl‐1,2‐benzisoselenazol‐3(2H)‐one

The title compound, C₁₀H₉NO₂Se, crystallizes as flat mol­ecules linked by selenium–oxy­gen interactions [Se?O = 3.189 (4) Å] into a linear chain along the a axis of the triclinic cell. The bond dimensions that are derived from ab initio geometry optimization calculations are similar to those determined from the diffraction measurements.     

Inclusion compounds of 2,5‐di­phenyl­hydro­quinone

The crystal structures of three 1:2 inclusion compounds that consist of host mol­ecule 2,5‐di­phenyl­hydro­quinone (C₁₈H₁₄O₂) and the guest mol­ecules 2‐pyridone (C₅H₅NO), 1,3‐di­phenyl‐2‐propen‐1‐one (chalcone, C₁₅H₁₂O) and 1‐(4‐meth­oxy­phenyl)‐3‐phenyl‐2‐propen‐1‐one (4′‐methoxy­chal­cone, C₁₆H₁₄O₂) were determined in order to study the ability of guest mol­ecules in inclusion compounds to undergo photoreaction. All of the crystals were found to be photoresistant. The three inclusion compounds crystallize in triclinic space group . In each case, the host/guest ratio is 1:2, with the host mol­ecules occupying crystallographic centers of symmetry and the guest mol­ecules occupying general positions. The guest mol­ecules in each of the inclusion compounds are linked to the host mol­ecules by hydrogen bonds. In the inclusion compound where the guest mol­ecule is pyridone, the host mol­ecule is disordered so that the hydroxy groups are distributed between two different sites, with occupancies of 0.738 (3) and 0.262 (3). The pyridone mol­ecules form dimers via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.     

A triclinic polymorph of benzanilide: disordered molecules form hydrogen‐bonded chains

In the P polymorph of benzanilide or N‐phenyl­benz­amide, C₁₃H₁₁NO, the mol­ecules are linked into simple C(4) chains by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules exhibit orientational disorder, but the donor and acceptor in a given hydrogen bond may occur, independently, in either the major or the minor orientation, such that all four possible N—H⋯O combinations have very similar geometries. The structure of this P polymorph can be related to that of a previously reported C2/c polymorph.     

Ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)­phenyl]­carbamate,ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]­carbamate and ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]­carbamate

In ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₃NO₄, all of the non‐H atoms lie on a mirror plane in the space group Pnma; the mol­ecules are linked into simple chains by a single C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The mol­ecules of ethyl N‐[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐iodo­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₁H₁₂INO₄, are linked into sheets by a combination of O—H⋯I and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a dipolar I⋯O contact. Ethyl N‐­[2‐(hydroxy­acetyl)‐4‐methyl­phenyl]carbamate, C₁₂H₁₅NO₄, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in the space group P; pairs of mol­ecules are weakly linked by an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond and these aggregates are linked into chains by two independent aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions.
