4‐[4‐(Di­methyl­amino)­benzyl­idene­amino]‐3,5‐bis(2‐pyridyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

The title compound, C₂₁H₁₉N₇, is a poly­pyridine ligand that is suitable for assembling complex metal systems capable of photoinduced electron transfer. The solid‐state structure has been determined at room temperature by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The mol­ecule is not flat and both the bis­(pyridyl)­triazole and the benzyl­id­ene­amine fragments show significant distortions from planarity.     

N‐(2,4‐Dimethoxy­benzyl­idene­amino)­guanidinium dihydrogenphosphate

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₁₀H₁₅N₄O₂⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, there are two protonated amino­guanidinium cations and two dihydrogenphosphate anions. The positive charge on the protonated amidine group is delocalized over the three C—N bonds in a manner similar to that found in guanidinium salts. The amino­guanidinium cations are found to be the E‐isomer structures. Intra­molecular inter­actions of the N—H⋯N type are observed, leading to the formation of five‐membered rings. Extensive networks of O—H⋯O, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the three‐dimensional network. In the crystal structure, π–π inter­actions between the benzene rings, with a distance of 3.778 (2) Å between the ring centroids, also affect the packing of the mol­ecules.     

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.     

Three 1,2,4‐triazole derivatives containing subtituted benzyl and benzyl­amino groups

The title compounds, 4‐benzyl­amino‐3‐(4‐methyl­benzyl)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5(4H)‐one, C₁₇H₁₈N₄O, (I), 3‐(4‐methyl­benzyl)‐4‐(4‐methyl­benzyl­amino)‐1H‐1,2,4‐tri­azol‐5(4H)‐one, C₁₈H₂₀N₄O, (II), and 3‐(4‐chloro­benzyl)‐4‐(4‐methyl­benzyl­amino)‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5(4H)‐one, C₁₇H₁₇ClN₄O, (III), were obtained from the corresponding Schiff base in the presence of diglyme and NaBH₄. Each compound contains a 1,2,4‐triazole ring and two benzene rings, which are essentially planar. The molecules are linked by a combination of intermolecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Additionally, there is a weak π–π stacking interaction in (I), involving the benzene ring of the amino­benzyl group and the partially aromatic 1,2,4‐triazole moiety, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7397 (10) Å.     

2‐(Hydro­xy­methyl)­pyridinium di­hydrogenphosphate

The title compound, C₆H₈NO⁺·H₂PO₄⁻, consists of 2‐(hy­droxy­methyl)­pyridinium and di­hydrogen­phosphate ions. The di­hydrogen­phosphate moieties are linked into chains by pairs of P—O—H⃛O—P hydrogen bonds. The 2‐(hydroxy­methyl)­pyridinium cations are connected to the di­hydrogen­phosphate units by O—H⃛O and N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds. Weak π–π interactions help to determine the interchain packing.     

4‐(Pyrrol‐1‐yl)‐1,2,4‐triazole

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₆H₆N₄, comprises one and a half molecules with a C₂ axis through the second molecule. Each molecule consists of two planar five‐membered rings connected by a triazole–pyrrole N—N bond with the triazole ring close to being at right angles to the pyrrole ring. The molecules are linked by C—H...N hydrogen bonds and weaker offset face‐to‐face π–π interactions.     

4‐(4‐Chloro­benzyl­ideneamino)‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3(2H)‐one and 4‐(2‐chloro­benzyl­idene­amino)‐1,5‐dimethyl‐2‐phenyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3(2H)‐one

The two title compounds, both with formula C₁₈H₁₆ClN₃O, are structurally similar Schiff bases derived from the condensation of 4‐chloro­benzaldehyde or 2‐chloro­benzaldehyde with 4‐amino­anti­pyrine in methanol solution. As expected, both compounds adopt trans configurations about the central C=N bonds. In the crystal structure of the 4‐chloro analogue, mol­ecules are linked through weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the a axis. In the crystal structure of the 2‐chloro analogue, mol­ecules are linked through weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane.     

4′‐Hydro­xy­bi­phenyl‐4‐carbo­nitrile

The title compound, C₁₃H₉NO, crystallizes with four mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. Each of the four crystallographically independent mol­ecules forms a chain parallel to the a axis with symmetry‐equivalent mol­ecules. These chains are held together by similar O—H·NC hydrogen bonds, with approximately linear O—H·N angles and significantly bent H·N—C angles. The four different mol­ecules are related by strong elements of pseudosymmetry. To better describe the pseudosymmetry, the structure has been reported in the non‐standard space group .     

3‐Hydro­xy­benz­aldehyde

The title compound, C₇H₆O₂, forms infinite chains where the mol­ecules are hydrogen bonded via the hydroxyl and aldehyde groups, with an O?O distance of 2.719 (3) Å. Interchain interactions are weak. The geometry of the ring differs from the ideal form due to the effect of the substituents. Abinitio (Hartree–Fock self‐consistent field–molecular orbital and density functional theory) calculations for the free mol­ecule reproduce well the observed small distortions of the ring. In the crystal, the geometry deviates from the ideal C_s symmetry of the free mol­ecule, as given by the ab initio calculations. The aldehyde and hydroxyl groups are twisted around the single bonds which join them to the ring as a result of the intermolecular hydrogen‐bond interactions. These are also responsible for an elongation of the hydroxy C—OH bond compared with that calculated for the free mol­ecule.     

7‐Methoxy‐3‐(salicyl­idene­amino)­coumarin

The title compound, C₁₇H₁₃NO₄, exists as a planar mol­ecule; adjacent mol­ecules are linked by electrostatic C—H?O [C?O = 3.318 (4) and 3.455 (4) Å] interactions into a linear chain.     

6‐(4‐Methoxy­benzyl­amino)­purin‐3‐ium chloride

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₄N₅O⁺·Cl⁻, belongs to the group of aromatic cytokinins. These compounds affect a variety of important physiological processes in plants and animals as well as in bacteria, including cell division, differentiation and senescence. The structure consists of a 6‐(4‐methoxy­benzyl­amino)­purinium cation and a Cl⁻ anion. The cation moiety exists as the N3‐protonated N7 tautomer. The cation contains nearly planar benzene and purine ring systems, with a dihedral angle of 77.46 (5)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by N_amino—H⋯N_purine hydrogen bonds connecting two adjacent mol­ecules, thus forming centrosymmetric dimers.     

4‐Phenyl‐3,5‐bis(2‐pyridyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

In the title compound, C₁₈H₁₃N₅, the two pyridyl rings form dihedral angles of 32.7 (2) and 30.1 (2)° with the triazole ring. The most favoured orientation of the pyridyl rings is that with their N atoms on opposite sides of the triazole ring directed towards the phenyl ring. π–π‐Stacking interactions involving pyridyl rings are observed along the a axis at a perpendicular distance of 3.670 (3) Å. This arrangement is further stabilized by weak intermolecular C—H?N hydrogen bonds.     

C—H⃛O and C—H⃛π interactions in 1‐acetyl‐4‐(p‐chloro­benzyl­idene­amino)‐3‐ethyl‐4,5‐di­hydro‐1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐5‐one

The title compound, C₁₃H₁₃ClN₄O₂, contains both a phenyl and a triazole ring, both of which are approximately coplanar with the entire mol­ecule. The triazole ring has substituents at the 1‐, 2‐ and 4‐positions. Intramolecular C—H⃛O and C—H⃛N interactions, together with intermolecular C—H⃛O and C—H⃛π interactions, help to stabilize the structure.     

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.     

Luminescent copoly(aryl ether)s with new electron‐transporting bis(3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole or bis(3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)‐4‐(4‐hexyloxyphenyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole segments

To investigate the effect of trifluoromethyl groups in enhancing electron affinity of aromatic oxadiazole and triazole chromophores, we prepared four new copoly(aryl ether)s ( P1 – P4 ) consisting of bis(3‐(trifluoromethyl) phenyl)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole (ETO) or bis(3‐(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)‐4‐(4‐hexyloxyphenyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole (ETT) segments and hole‐transporting segments [2,5‐distyrylbenzene (HTB) or bis(styryl)fluorine (HTF)]. Molecular spectra (absorption and photoluminescence) and cyclic voltammetry were used to investigate their optical and electrochemical properties. The emissions of P1 – P4 are dominated by the hole‐transporting fluorophores with longer emissive wavelengths around 442–453 nm via efficient excitation energy transfer. The highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of P1 – P4 , estimated from electrochemical data, are ?5.15, ?5.18, ?5.30, ?5.27, ?3.39, ?3.49, ?3.36, and ?3.48 eV, respectively. The LUMO levels of ETO and ETT segments are significantly reduced to ?3.39～?3.36 eV and ?3.48～?3.49 eV, respectively, as compared with ?2.45 eV of P5 containing a 2,5‐diphenyl‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole segment. Moreover, electron and hole affinity can be enhanced simultaneously by introducing isolated hole‐ and electron‐transporting segments in the backbone. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

1‐(9H‐Carbazol‐4‐yloxy)‐3‐{[2‐(2‐methoxyphenoxy)ethyl]amino}propan‐2‐ol hemihydrate: a carvedilol solvatomorph

In the title racemic hemihydrated solvatomorph of carvedilol (carv), C₂₄H₂₆N₂O₄·0.5H₂O, the asymmetric unit contains two independent organic moieties and one water molecule. Within this 2(carv)·H₂O unit, the molecular components are strongly linked by hydrogen bonds and the unit acts as the basic building block for the crystal structure. Interactions parallel to (10) generate hydrogen‐bonded layers which are further linked by much weaker C—H...N/O interactions. The conformations of the organic molecules, as well as the hydrogen‐bonding interactions connecting them, are compared with other related structures in the literature.     

N‐(4‐Methoxy­benzyl­idene)‐N′‐(2‐pyridyl)­hydrazine

Molecules of the title compound (alternative name p‐methoxybenzaldehyde 2‐pyridyl­hydrazone), C₁₃H₁₃N₃O, adopt an E configuration about the azomethine C=N double bond. Molecules are almost planar, the dihedral angle between the pyridine and methoxy­phenyl rings being only 6.19 (12)°. Pairwise N—H⃛N hydrogen bonds [R(8) in graph‐set notation] link centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules into discrete pairs.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of novel schiff bases derived from 3‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐4‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole

A series of novel 4‐(arylmethylidene)amino‐5‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐3‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazoles ( 2a‐f ) were easily synthesized in high yields by means of the reactions of 3‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐4‐amino‐5‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole ( 1 ) with various aromatic aldehydes. The compound, 4‐(4‐methylbenzylidene)‐amino‐5‐(2‐ethoxyphenyl)‐3‐mercapto‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazole was investigated with X‐ray crystallography.     

(4S,5S)‐(+)‐4‐Hydro­xy­methyl‐2,5‐di­phenyl­oxazoline

The absolute configuration of the title compound, alter­natively called (+)‐(4,5‐di­hydro‐2,5‐di­phenyl­oxazol‐4‐yl)­methanol, C₁₆H₁₅NO₂, has been confirmed as 4S,5S. The hydroxy­methyl group and phenyl ring at the asymmetric C atoms exhibit β and α orientations, respectively. The exocyclic C—C bonds at the asymmetric C atoms are mutually anticlinal (?ac). The hydroxyl group and the N atom of the oxazoline ring are involved in an intermolecular hydrogen bond leading to chains of mol­ecules.     

Methyl 1‐(4‐chloro­benzyl)‐2‐(4‐methyl­piperazin‐1‐yl)‐1H‐benz­imidazole‐5‐carboxyl­ate hemihydrate

The title compound, C₂₁H₂₃ClN₄O₂·0.5H₂O, contains two independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each mol­ecule the piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation; the deviations of the piperazine N atoms from the best plane through the remaining four C atoms are ?0.678 (3) and 0.662 (3) Å in mol­ecule A, and 0.687 (3) and ?0.700 (3) Å in mol­ecule B. The mol­ecules are linked by two hydrogen bonds of the O—H?N type involving the O atom of the water mol­ecule of crystallization.
