6‐(2‐Hydro­xy­benzoyl)‐5‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐3H‐pyrrolizine

The title compound, 2‐hydroxy­phenyl 5‐(pyrrol‐2‐yl)‐3H‐pyrrolizin‐6‐yl ketone, C₁₈H₁₄N₂O₂, was isolated from the base‐catalyzed 1:2 condensation of 2‐hydroxy­aceto­phenone with pyrrole‐2‐carbaldehyde. The pyrrole N—H and hydroxy­benzoyl O—H groups are hydrogen bonded to the benzoyl O atom. The allyl­ic C=C double bond of the 3H‐pyrrolizine system is located between ring positions 1 and 2, the C atom at position 3 (adjacent to the N atom) being single bonded.     

catena‐Poly[[copper(II)‐μ‐2‐[bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)amino]butyrato‐κ4N,N′,N′′,O:κO′] perchlorate]

The copper(II) ion in the syn–anti carboxyl­ate‐bridged one‐dimensional zigzag chain title complex, {[Cu(C₁₆H₁₈N₃O₂)]ClO₄}_n, exhibits a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment. Two N atoms and one carboxyl­ate O atom of the ligand form the basal plane, while the axial positions are filled by an N atom of the ligand and one O atom belonging to the carboxyl­ate group of an adjacent mol­ecule. The crystal packing is enhanced by C—H⋯O(perchlorate) hydrogen bonds.     

Tetrameric triphenylsilanol, (Ph3SiOH)4, and the adduct (Ph3SiOH)2–di­methyl sulfoxide,both at 120 K,and the adduct (Ph3SiOH)4–1,4‐dioxan at 150 K: interplay of O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) interactions

The structure of tetrameric tri­phenyl­silanol, C₁₈H₁₆OSi, (I), has been re‐investigated at 120 (2) K. The hydroxyl H atoms were readily located and one of the arene rings is disordered over two closely positioned sets of sites. The mol­ecules are linked into cyclic tetramers, having approximate (S₄) symmetry, via O—H?O hydrogen bonds [H?O 1.81–1.85 Å, O?O 2.634 (3)–2.693 (3) Å and O—H?O 156–166°]. At ambient temperature, there are indications of multiple disorder of the phenyl‐ring sites. In bis­(tri­phenyl­silanol) di­methyl sulfoxide solvate, 2C₁₈H₁₆OSi·C₂H₆OS, (II), the di­methyl sulfoxide component is disordered across a twofold rotation axis in C2/c, and the molecular components are linked by a single O—H?O hydrogen bond [H?O 1.85 Å, O?O 2.732 (2) Å and O—H?O 172°] into three‐mol­ecule aggregates, which are themselves linked into a single three‐dimensional framework by two C—H?π(arene) interactions. In tetrakis­(tri­phenyl­silanol) 1,4‐dioxan solvate, 4C₁₈H₁₆OSi·C₄H₈O₂, (III), the 1,4‐dioxan component lies across an inversion centre in space group P and centrosymmetric five‐mol­ecule aggregates are linked by paired C—H?π(arene) interactions to form molecular ladders.     

3,3′‐[o‐Phenyl­enebis­(methyl­eneoxy)]­bis(6‐chloro­flavone) and 3,3′‐propyl­ene­dioxy­bis­[6‐chloro‐2‐(2‐furyl)‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐one]

The title compound 3,3′‐[o‐phenyl­enebis­(methyl­eneoxy)]­bis(6‐chloro­flavone), C₃₈H₂₄Cl₂O₆, (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with the molecules lying across twofold rotation axes so that there is half a mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, while the other title compound, 3,3′‐propyl­ene­dioxy­bis­[6‐chloro‐2‐(2‐furyl)‐4H‐1‐benzopyran‐4‐one], C₂₉H₁₈Cl₂O₈, (II), crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In both compounds, the benzopyran moiety is nearly planar, with dihedral angles between the two fused rings of 1.43 (8)° in (I), and 2.54 (7) and 3.00 (6)° with respect to the benzopyran moieties in the two halves of (II). The furan rings are twisted by 8.3 (1) and 8.4 (1)° in the two halves of (II). In both compounds, the molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H⃛O hydrogen bonds, while the crystal packing is stabilized by C—H⃛Cl and C—H⃛O intermolecular hydrogen bonds in (I) and (II), respectively.     

Secondary inter­actions in two related terphenyl derivatives: 2′,5′‐dimethyl‐p‐terphenyl and 2′,5′‐bis­(bromo­meth­yl)‐p‐terphen­yl

In 2′,5′‐dimethyl‐p‐terphenyl, C₂₀H₁₈, which displays pseudosymmetry (the true space group is Pna2₁, but less satisfactory refinement can also be achieved in Pbcn), the mol­ecules are linked into chains by two short C—H⋯π inter­actions to the centroid of the central ring. In 2′,5′‐bis­(bromo­meth­yl)‐p‐terphenyl, C₂₀H₁₆Br₂, the polar CH₂Br groups cause mol­ecules to aggregate via C—H⋯Br and Br⋯Br inter­actions, forming a layer structure, in which the phenyl rings project outwards from the central, more polar, region.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): monomeric and polymeric adducts with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene and 1,6‐di­amino­hexane

In the adduct ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₀N₂, there is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond in the ferro­cene­diol component and a single O—H?N hydrogen bond linking the diol to the di­amine, which is disordered over two sets of sites, so forming a finite monomeric adduct. In the adduct ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–1,6‐di­amino­hexane (2/1), 2[Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₆H₁₆N₂, the amine lies across a centre of inversion in space group P. There is an intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bond in the ferrocenediol, and the molecular components are linked by O—H?N and N—H?O hydrogen bonds, one of each type, into a C(13)[R(12)] chain of rings.     

A zwitterion of 1,5‐bis­(2‐hydroxy­benzamido)‐3‐aza­pentane: a two‐dimensional hydrogen‐bonding network involving dimers

The title compound, 2‐{N‐[2‐(2‐hydroxy­benzamido)ethyl­ammonio­ethyl]amino­carbon­yl}phenolate, C₁₈H₂₁N₃O₄, crystallizes in a zwitterionic form as a result of inter­molecular proton transfer and possesses a negatively charged phenolate group and a protonated amino group. The 2‐hydroxy­benzamide and 2‐(amino­carbonyl)­phenolate moieties attached to the two ends of the C—C—N—C—C backbone adopt a cis conformation in relation to this backbone. All N‐ and O‐bound H atoms are involved in hydrogen‐bond formation; the zwitterions are first linked into head‐to‐tail dimers, which are further organized into a two‐dimensional network parallel to the crystallographic bc plane.     

1‐Methyl‐1‐phenyl‐3‐[1‐hydroxy­imino‐2‐(succinimido)­ethyl]­cyclo­butane

In the title compound, C₁₇H₂₀N₂O₃, the cyclo­butane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 19.11 (15)°. The 1‐phenyl and 3‐[1‐hydroxy­imino‐2‐(succinimido)­ethyl] groups are in cis positions. The mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(benzene) interactions, forming a two‐dimensional network.     

7‐Phenyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thiaspiro[4.5]decan‐7‐ol stereoisomers

The stereoisomers of 7‐phenyl‐1‐oxa‐4‐thia­spiro­[4.5]­decan‐7‐ol, C₁₄H₁₈O₂S, have the same stereochemistry at the C atom bearing an OH group, i.e. axial OH and equatorial phenyl groups. However, the acetal S and O atoms are axial and equatorial, respectively, in one isomer and reversed in the second. Furthermore, the crystals of one isomer are composed of hydrogen‐bonded mol­ecules involving the hydroxyl H atom and the O atom of the five‐membered heterocyclic ring, with an O?O distance of 2.962 (3) Å, forming a polymeric chain along the b axis. The asymmetric unit of the other isomer is composed of two mol­ecules, wherein hydroxyl H atoms and the O atoms of the five‐membered heterocyclic rings display intramolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds with O?O separations of 2.820 (2) and 2.834 (2) Å.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded adducts of ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol): monomeric and dimeric 1:1 adducts with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane and 1,2‐­diamino­ethane

In ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–4,4′‐ethyl­enedi­pyridine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₁₂H₁₂N₂, there is an intra­molecular O—H?O hydrogen bond in the ferrocenediol component and a single O—H?N hydrogen bond linking the two components into a finite monomeric adduct. Ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­bis­(di­phenyl­methanol)–ethyl­enedi­amine (1/1), [Fe(C₁₈H₁₅O)₂]·C₂H₈N₂, crystallizes with Z′ = 2 in space group P, and there are two independent four‐component aggregates in the structure, both of which are centrosymmetric. In the first type of aggregate, the molecular components are linked by O—H?N and N—H?O hydrogen bonds, in which both di­amine N atoms participate; in the second type of aggregate, the di­amine component is disordered over two sets of sites, but only one N atom is involved in the hydrogen bonding.     

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.     

Two isomorphous benzene­sulfon­amide crystal structures determined by intermolecular C—H⃛O,C—H⃛π and C—H⃛Cl interactions

The title compounds, N‐[5‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)­furan‐2‐yl­methyl]‐4‐methyl‐N‐(prop‐2‐ynyl)­benzene­sulfon­amide, (Ia), and N‐[5‐(2‐chloro­phenyl)­furan‐2‐yl­methyl]‐4‐methyl‐N‐(prop‐2‐ynyl)­benzene­sulfon­amide, (Ib), both C₂₁H₁₈ClNO₃S, have isomorphous crystal structures. The crystal packing is mainly determined by intermolecular C—H?O and C—H?π interactions. These interactions are very similar in (Ia) and (Ib). Additional intermolecular C—H?Cl interactions appear less important and are different in (Ia) and (Ib). The different positions of the Cl atoms result in small variations of the crystal packing of the two compounds.     

O‐Ethyl and O‐methyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d‐glucopyranosyl)thiocarbamate

In both the title structures, O‐ethyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d ‐gluco­pyran­osyl)­thio­carbam­ate, C₁₇H₂₅NO₁₀S, and O‐methyl N‐(2,3,4,6‐tetra‐O‐acetyl‐β‐d ‐gluco­pyran­osyl)­thiocar­bam­ate, C₁₆H₂₃NO₁₀S, the hexo­pyran­osyl ring adopts the ⁴C₁ conformation. All the ring substituents are in equatorial positions. The acetoxy­methyl group is in a gauche–gauche conformation. The S atom is in a synperi­planar conformation, while the C—N—C—O linkage is antiperiplanar. N—H?O intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains and these are connected by C—H?O interactions.     

Two N‐substituted 3,5‐diphenyl‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thiocarboxamides

The structures of N‐ethyl‐3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐5‐(4‐methoxy­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₉H₂₀FN₃OS, (I), and 3‐(4‐fluoro­phen­yl)‐N‐methyl‐5‐(4‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐pyrazoline‐1‐thio­carboxamide, C₁₈H₁₈FN₃S, (II), have similar geometric parameters. The meth­oxy/methyl‐substituted phenyl groups are almost perpendicular to the pyrazoline (pyraz) ring [inter­planar angles of 89.29 (8) and 80.39 (10)° for (I) and (II), respectively], which is coplanar with the fluoro­phenyl ring [inter­planar angles of 5.72 (9) and 10.48 (10)°]. The pyrazoline ring approximates an envelope conformation in both structures, with the two‐coordinate N atom involved in an intra­molecular N—H⋯N_pyraz inter­action. In (I), N—H⋯O and C—H⋯S inter­molecular hydrogen bonds are the primary inter­actions, whereas in (II), there are no intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

μ‐Acetato‐1:2κ2O:O′‐diacetato‐1κ2O,O′;2κO‐bis(di‐2‐pyridylamine)‐1κ2N,N′;2κ2N,N′‐isothiocyanato‐2κN‐dicopper(II)

In the title dinuclear acetate‐bridged complex, [Cu₂(C₂H₃O₂)₃(NCS)(C₁₀H₉N₃)₂], the two Cu atoms are five‐coordinated, with a basal plane consisting of two N atoms of a di‐2‐pyridylamine (dpyam) ligand and two O atoms of two different acetate ligands. The axial positions of these Cu atoms are coordinated to N and O atoms from thio­cyanate and acetate mol­ecules, respectively, leading to a distorted square‐pyramidal geometry with τ values of 0.30 and 0.22. Both Cu^II ions are linked by an acetate group in the equatorial–equatorial positions and have syn–anti bridging configurations. Hydrogen‐bond inter­actions between the amine H atom and the coordinated and uncoordinated O atoms of the acetate anions generate an infinite one‐dimensional chain.     

9‐Cyano‐10‐methylacridinium hydrogen dinitrate

The title compound, C₁₅H₁₁N₂⁺·HN₂O₆^?, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with four mol­ecules in the unit cell. The planar 9‐cyano‐10‐methyl­acridinium cations lie on crystallographic twofold axes and are arranged in layers, almost perpendicular to the ac plane, in such a way that neighbouring mol­ecules are positioned in a `head‐to‐tail' manner. These cations and the hydrogen dinitrate anions are linked through C—H?O interactions involving four of the six O atoms of the anion and the H atoms attached to the C atoms of the acridine moiety in ring positions 2 and 4. The H atom of the hydrogen dinitrate anion appears to be located on the centre of inversion relating two of the four O atoms engaged in the above‐mentioned C—H?O interactions. In this way, columns of either anions or cations running along the c axis are held in place by the network of C—H?O interactions, forming a relatively compact crystal lattice.     

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.     

4‐Ethynyl‐4‐hydroxycyclohexan‐1‐one and 4‐ethynyl‐4‐hydroxy‐2,3,5,6‐tetramethylcyclohexa‐2,5‐dien‐1‐one

The title compounds, C₈H₁₀O₂, (I), and C₁₂H₁₄O₂, (II), occurred as by‐products in the controlled synthesis of a series of bis­(gem‐alkynols), prepared as part of an extensive study of synthon formation in simple gem‐alkynol derivatives. The two 4‐(gem‐alkynol)‐1‐ones crystallize in space group P2₁/c, (I) with Z′ = 1 and (II) with Z′ = 2. Both structures are dominated by O—H?O=C hydrogen bonds, which form simple chains in the cyclo­hexane derivative, (I), and centrosymmetric dimers, of both symmetry‐independent mol­ecules, in the cyclo­hexa‐2,5‐diene, (II). These strong synthons are further stabilized by C[triple‐bond]C—H?O=C, C_methylene—H?O(H) and C_methyl—H?O(H) interactions. The direct intermolecular interactions between donors and acceptors in the gem‐alkynol group, which characterize the bis­(gem‐alkynol) analogues of (I) and (II), are not present in the ketone derivatives studied here.     

The two‐dimensional coordination polymer poly[[bis(3‐methyl­pyridine)­cadmium(II)]‐tetra‐μ‐cyano‐nickel(II)]

The title complex, [CdNi(CN)₄(C₆H₇N)₂]_n, adopts a slightly distorted octahedral geometry around the Cd centre. Four cyanide N atoms occupy the equatorial coordination sites around the Cd centre. The structure consists of corrugated and cyanide‐bridged polymeric networks made up of tetracyano­nickelate ions coordinated to cadmium, with the Ni ion coordinated by four cyanide ligands in a square‐planar arrangement. The Cd and Ni atoms occupy special positions of 2/m site symmetry. The 3‐methyl­pyridine group, except for two methyl H atoms, lies on a crystallographic mirror plane. The 3‐methyl­pyridine molecules, bound to cadmium in trans positions, are located on both sides of the network. The bonding in the networks occurs because of a departure of the Ni—C—N—Cd sequence of atoms from linearity at the C and N atoms.
