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.     

Two polymorphs of N‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)‐4‐oxo‐4H‐chromone‐3‐carboxamide

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₃NO₄, crystallizes in two polymorphic forms, each with two molecules in the asymmetric unit and in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c. All of the molecules have intramolecular hydrogen bonds involving the amide group. The amide N atoms act as donors to the carbonyl group of the pyrone and also to the methoxy group of the benzene ring. The carbonyl O atom of the amide group acts as an acceptor of the β and β′ C atoms belonging to the aromatic rings. These intramolecular hydrogen bonds have a profound effect on the molecular conformation. In one polymorph, the molecules in the asymmetric unit are linked to form dimers by weak C—H...O interactions. In the other, the molecules in the asymmetric unit are linked by a single weak C—H...O hydrogen bond. Two of these units are linked to form centrosymmetric tetramers by a second weak C—H...O interaction. Further interactions of this type link the molecules into chains, so forming a three‐dimensional network. These interactions in both polymorphs are supplemented by π–π interactions between the chromone rings and between the chromone and methoxyphenyl rings.     

N,N′‐Dicyclohexyl‐N‐[4‐(1H‐indol‐3‐yl)butanoyl]urea

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₅N₃O₂, is a novel urea derivative. Pairs of intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds join the molecules into centrosymmetric R₂²(12) and R₂²(18) dimeric rings, which are alternately linked into one‐dimensional polymeric chains along the [010] direction. The parallel chains are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds to generate a two‐dimensional framework structure parallel to the (001) plane. The title compound was also modelled by solid‐state density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A comparison of the molecular conformation and hydrogen‐bond geometry obtained from the X‐ray structure analysis and the theoretical study clearly indicates that the DFT calculation agrees closely with the X‐ray structure.     

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.     

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.     

Polymorphism in 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one

A new polymorph (denoted polymorph II) of 3‐acetyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2H‐chromen‐2‐one, C₁₁H₈O₄, was obtained unexpectedly during an attempt to recrystallize the compound from salt–melted ice, and the structure is compared with that of the original polymorph (denoted polymorph I) [Lyssenko & Antipin (2001). Russ. Chem. Bull. 50 , 418–431]. Strong intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed equally in the two polymorphs [O...O = 2.4263 (13) Å in polymorph II and 2.442 (1) Å in polymorph I], with a slight delocalization of the hydroxy H atom towards the ketonic O atom in polymorph II [H...O = 1.32 (2) Å in polymorph II and 1.45 (3) Å in polymorph I]. In both crystal structures, the packing of the molecules is dominated and stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Additional π–π stacking interactions between the keto–enol hydrogen‐bonded rings stabilize polymorph I [the centres are separated by 3.28 (1) Å], while polymorph II is stabilized by interactions between α‐pyrone rings, which are parallel to one another and separated by 3.670 (5) Å.     

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.     

6,6′‐Dimethoxygossypolone

6,6′‐Dimethoxygossypolone (systematic name: 7,7′‐dihydroxy‐5,5′‐diisopropyl‐6,6′‐dimethoxy‐3,3′‐dimethyl‐1,1′,4,4′‐tetraoxo‐2,2′‐binaphthalene‐8,8′‐dicarbaldehyde), C₃₂H₃₀O₁₀, is a dimeric molecule formed by oxidation of 6,6′‐dimethoxygossypol. When crystallized from acetone, 6,6′‐dimethoxygossypolone has monoclinic (P2₁/c) symmetry, and there are two molecules within the asymmetric unit. Of the four independent quinoid rings, three display flattened boat conformations and one displays a flattened chair/half‐chair conformation. The angles between the planes of the two bridged naphthoquinone structures are fairly acute, with values of about 68 and 69°. The structure has several intramolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and several weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, but no intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds.     

Two polymorphs of anhydrous 4‐pyridone at 100 K

Two polymorphs of the title compound, C₅H₅NO, (I), have been obtained from ethanol. One polymorph crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c [henceforth (I)‐M], while the other crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca [henceforth (I)‐O]. In the two forms, the lattice parameters, cell volume and packing motifs are very similar. There are also two independent molecules of 4‐pyridone in each asymmetric unit. The molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds into one‐dimensional zigzag chains extending along the b axis in the (I)‐M polymorph and along the a axis in the (I)‐O polymorph, with the graph set C₂²(12). The structures are stabilized by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds linking adjacent chains, thus forming a ring with the graph set R₆⁵(28). The significance of this study lies in the analysis of the hydrogen‐bond interactions occurring in these structures. Analyses of the crystal structures of the two polymorphs of 4‐pyridone are helpful in elucidating the mechanism of the generation of spectroscopic effects observed in the IR spectra of these polymorphs in the frequency range of the N—H stretching vibration band.     

Probing the relationships between molecular conformation and intermolecular contacts in N,N‐dibenzyl‐N′‐(furan‐2‐carbonyl)thiourea

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₂₀H₁₈N₂O₂S, molecules are linked by bifurcated C—H...O hydrogen‐bond interactions, giving rise to chains whose links are composed of alternating centrosymmetrically disposed pairs of molecules and characterized by R₂²(10) and R₂²(20) hydrogen‐bonding motifs. Also, N—H...S hydrogen bonds form infinite zigzag chains along the [010] direction, which exhibit the C(4) motif. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots were used to explore the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure. This analysis confirms the important role of C—H...O hydrogen bonds in the molecular conformation and in the crystal structure, providing a potentially useful tool for a full understanding of the intermolecular interactions in acylthiourea derivatives.     

Concomitant polymorphism and conformational isomerism in 4‐acetylresorcinol

Two polymorphs of the title compound [systematic name: 1‐(2,4‐dihydroxyphenyl)ethanone], C₈H₈O₃, were investigated. The known structure [designated (I‐M); P2₁/c, Z = 4; previously investigated at room temperature by Robert, Moore, Eichhorn & Rillema (2007). Acta Cryst. E 63 , o4252] was redetermined at low temperature, and a new form [(I‐O); P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 12] was discovered in the same sample. In both forms, the molecules are planar (apart from the methyl H atoms) and they contain intramolecular O—H...O=C hydrogen bonds. In polymorph (I‐M), molecules are linked into chains by a single intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, and the chains are linked into sheets by two C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Three O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules of polymorph (I‐O) into chains and neighbouring chains are connected by one C—H...O interaction to form an offset layer structure. Two weak methyl C—H...O interactions link the layers.     

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.     

Two new polymorphs of 2,6‐diaminopyrimidin‐4(3H)‐one monohydrate

The title compound, C₄H₆N₄O·H₂O, crystallized simultaneously as a triclinic and a monoclinic polymorph from an aqueous solution of 2,4‐diaminopyrimidin‐6‐ol. Previously, an orthorhombic polymorph was isolated under the same experimental conditions. The molecular geometric parameters in the two present polymorphs and the previously reported orthorhombic polymorph are similar, but the structures differ in the details of their crystal packing. In the triclinic system, the diaminopyrimidinone molecules are connected to one another via N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonding to form infinite chains in the [011] direction. The chains are further hydrogen bonded to the water molecules, resulting in a three‐dimensional network. In the monoclinic system, the diaminopyrimidinone molecules are hydrogen bonded together into two‐dimensional networks parallel to the bc plane. The water molecules link the planes to form a three‐dimensional polymeric structure.     

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.     

4‐Hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine and its 7‐fluoro and 7‐chloro analogues are isomorphous but not strictly isostructural

4‐Hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₅NO, (I), and its 7‐fluoro and 7‐chloro analogues, namely 7‐fluoro‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₄FNO, (II), and 7‐chloro‐4‐hydroxy‐2‐vinyl‐2,3,4,5‐tetrahydro‐1‐benzazepine, C₁₂H₁₄ClNO, (III), are isomorphous, but with variations in the unit‐cell dimensions which preclude in compound (III) one of the weaker intermolecular interactions found in compounds (I) and (II). Thus the compounds are not strictly isostructural in terms of the structurally significant intermolecular interactions, although the corresponding atomic coordinates are very similar. The azepine rings adopt chair conformations. The molecules are linked by a combination of N—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds into chains of edge‐fused R³₃(10) rings, which in compounds (I) and (II) are further linked into sheets by a single C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond. The significance of this study lies in its observation of isomorphism in compounds (I)–(III), and its observation of a sufficient variation in one of the cell dimensions effectively to alter the range of significant hydrogen bonds present in the crystal structures.     

Nonmerohedrally twinned 6‐amino‐3‐methyluracil‐5‐carbaldehyde: a hydrogen‐bonded ribbon containing four types of ring

In the title compound [systematic name: 6‐amino‐5‐formyl‐3‐methylpyrimidine‐2,4(1H,3H)‐dione], C₆H₇N₃O₃, the intramolecular dimensions provide evidence for some polarization of the electronic structure. There is an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond; this and a combination of three intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds generate an almost planar ribbon containing S(6), R₂²(4), R₂¹(6) and R₄⁴(16) rings. These ribbons are linked into sheets by a dipolar carbonyl–carbonyl interaction. The structure was refined as a nonmerohedral twin, with twin fractions 0.7924 (1) and 0.2076 (10).     

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.     

4‐(3‐Azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium chloride hydrogen oxalate: an unusual example of a dication with different counter‐anions

The mixed organic–inorganic title salt, C₇H₁₈N₂O²⁺·C₂HO₄⁻·Cl⁻, forms an assembly of ionic components which are stabilized through a series of hydrogen bonds and charge‐assisted intermolecular interactions. The title assembly crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with Z = 8. The asymmetric unit consists of a 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium dication, a hydrogen oxalate counter‐anion and an inorganic chloride counter‐anion. The organic cations and anions are connected through a network of N—H...O, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming several intermolecular rings that can be described by the graph‐set notations R₃³(13), R₂¹(5), R₁²(5), R₂¹(6), R₂³(6), R₂²(8) and R₃³(9). The 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium dications are interconnected through N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(9) chains that run diagonally along the ab face. Furthermore, the hydrogen oxalate anions are interconnected via O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming head‐to‐tail C(5) chains along the crystallographic b axis. The two types of chains are linked through additional N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, and the hydrogen oxalate chains are sandwiched by the 4‐(3‐azaniumylpropyl)morpholin‐4‐ium chains, forming organic layers that are separated by the chloride anions. Finally, the layered three‐dimensional structure is stabilized via intermolecular N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl interactions.     

Hydrogen‐bonded sheets of R22(10) and R44(24) rings in 1‐deoxy‐1‐morpholino‐d‐fructopyranose

In the title compound, C₁₀H₁₉NO₆, both rings adopt almost perfect chair conformations and their mutual orientation is influenced by an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. The molecules are linked by three independent O—H...O hydrogen bonds into sheets containing equal numbers of R₂²(10) and R₄⁴(24) rings.     

Two concomitant polymorphs of N,N′‐bis[4‐(diethylamino)phenyl]terephthaldiamide

The title compound, C₂₈H₃₄N₄O₂, crystallizes simultaneously as a monoclinic, (Im), and a (twinned) triclinic polymorph, (It), from d₆‐dimethyl sulfoxide. Polymorph (It) (P, Z = 1) displays the standard `ladder' packing for this group of compounds, with neighbouring inversion‐symmetric molecules related by translation and connected by hydrogen bonds of the form N—H...O=C. Polymorph (Im) (Cc, Z = 4) has no imposed symmetry; there are three independent hydrogen bonds, one classical N—H...O=C and a bifurcated system with N—H...O=C augmented by a short C—H...O=C interaction. Each molecule is thereby linked to four neighbouring molecules, two lower and two higher, so that a crosslinked three‐dimensional pattern is formed rather than the standard ladder.
