N‐Methyl‐N‐[(Z)‐2‐phenyl­propenyl]­thio­benz­amide

The crystal structure of the title thio­benz­amide, C₁₇H₁₇NS, was determined to investigate the relationship between the photoreactivity in solid state and the structure. The geometry was confirmed to be the Z isomer.     

Bis­[(R)‐3,5‐di­chloro‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­salicyl­idene­aminato‐κ2N,O]­copper(II) and bis­[(R)‐3‐ethoxy‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­salicyl­idene­aminato‐κ2N,O]copper(II)

The title compounds, [Cu(C₁₅H₁₂Cl₂NO)₂], (I), and [Cu(C₁₇­H₁₈NO₂)₂], (II), both adopt a compressed tetrahedral trans‐[CuN₂O₂] coordination geometry, the mol­ecules having an umbrella conformation overall. These complexes differ from one another with respect to the 1‐phenyl­ethyl­amine moieties, the direction of the benzene rings being either inside [in (I)] or inside and outside [in (II)] of the mol­ecules. The crystals of (I) and (II) have Δ(R,R) and Λ(R,R) absolute configurations, respectively.     

(E)‐5‐[(4‐Nitro­phenyl­hydrazono)­phenyl­acetyl]‐3‐phenyl­isoxazole

The title compound, C₂₃H₁₆N₄O₄, can be considered as consisting of two connected fragments: a nitro­phenyl­hydrazone moiety, which assumes an E configuration, and an isoxazole moiety. In this latter fragment, the weak π‐electron delocalization shortens the carbonyl–isoxazole O?O distance [2.643 (2) Å] to less than the van der Waals radii sum.     

[N,N‐Bis(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­di­thio­car­bamato‐S]­bis­(tri­phenyl­phosphine‐P)­copper(I) tri­phenyl­phosphine solvate

In the title compound, [Cu(C₅H₁₀NO₂S₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·C₁₈H₁₅P, the Cu atom is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination, with two tri­phenyl­phosphine P atoms and two S atoms from an N,N‐bis(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)­di­thio­carbamate ligand occupying the vertices. The crystal structure is characterized by alternate layers of complex and tri­phenyl­phosphine mol­ecules.     

catena‐Poly­[[[bis(N,N′‐di­phenyl­thio­urea)­cadmium(II)]‐di‐μ‐thio­cyanato] dihydrate]

Bridging by the two thio­cyanato groups in centrosymmetric six‐coordinate bis­(thio­cyanato)­bis­(di­phenyl­thio­urea)­cad­mium(II) dihydrate leads tothe formation of eight‐membered [Cd—SCN→Cd—SCN→] rings that are linked at the metal atom to furnish chains running parallel to the a axis, i.e {[Cd(NCS)₂(C₁₃H₁₂N₂S)₂]·2H₂O}_n.     

cis‐[1,4‐Bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane](μ‐tetra­thio­tungstato)­palladium(II) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate

In the title compound, [1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phosphino)­butane‐2κ²P,P′]­di‐μ‐thio‐1:2κ⁴S‐di­thio‐1κ²S‐palladium(II)­tung­sten(VI) N,N′‐di­methyl­form­amide hemisolvate hemihydrate, [PdWS₄­(C₂₈H₂₈P₂)]·0.5C₃H₇NO·0.5H₂O, the Pd atom is coordinated by two S atoms from the distorted‐tetrahedral [WS₄]²⁻ anion and two P atoms from the dppb mol­ecule [dppb is 1,4‐bis(di­phenyl­phos­phino)­butane] in an approximately square‐planar configuration. A puckered seven‐membered ring is formed by the Pd atom and the dppb ligand.     

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.     

Polymorphism and solvolysis of 2‐cyano‐3‐[4‐(N,N‐diethyl­amino)­phenyl]­prop‐2‐ene­thio­amide

Two new polymorph forms, (Ia) and (Ib), of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S, and its solvate with aceto­nitrile, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S·0.25C₂H₃N, (Ic), have been investigated. Crystals of the two polymorphs were grown from different solvents, viz. ethanol and N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide, respectively. The polymorphs have different orientations of the thio­amide group relative to the CN substituent, with s‐cis and s‐trans geometry of the C=C—C=S diene fragment, respectively. Compound (Ic) contains two independent mol­ecules, A and B, with s‐cis geometry, and the solvate mol­ecule lies on a twofold axis. The core of each mol­ecule is slightly non‐planar; the dihedral angles between the conjugated C=C—CN linkage and the phenyl ring, and between this linkage and the thio­amide group are 13.4 (2) and 12.0 (2)° in (Ia), 14.0 (2) and 18.2 (2)° in (Ib), 2.3 (3) and 12.7 (4)° in molecule A of (Ic), and 23.2 (3) and 8.1 (4)° in molecule B of (Ic). As a result of strong conjugation between donor and acceptor parts, the substituted phenyl rings have noticeable quinoid character. In (Ib), there exists a very strong intramolecular steric interaction (H⋯H = 1.95 Å) between the bridging and thio­amide parts of the mol­ecule, which makes such a form less stable. In the crystal structure of (Ia), intermolecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite tapes along the [10] direction. In (Ib), such intermolecular hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite (101) planes. In (Ic), intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules A and B into dimers, which are connected via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and form infinite chains along the c direction.     

Hydro­gen‐bonded dimers in N‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­thio)­saccharin

In the title compound, 2‐(2‐nitro­phenyl­thio)‐1,2‐benzo­thia­zol‐3(2H)‐one 1,1‐dioxide, 2‐O₂NC₆H₄S(C₇H₄NO₃S) or C₁₃H₈N₂­O₅S₂, the planes of the saccharin and nitro­phenyl­thiol­ate portions are almost orthogonal. The mol­ecules are linked by C—H?O=S hydrogen bonds [C?O 3.308 (3) Å, H?O 2.44 Å and C—H?O 155°] into cyclic centrosymmetric R²₂(16) dimers, reinforced by aromatic π?π stacking interactions between the nitrated aryl rings.     

2‐Hydro­xy‐5‐[(E)‐(4‐methoxy­phenyl)­diazenyl]­benzoic acid

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₂N₂O₄, shows an E conformation about the diazenyl N atoms. The crystal structure features layers of mol­ecules with the primary connection between the layers afforded by carboxyl­ic acid dimer motifs; no evidence for extensive π–π stacking between the layers was found.     

2‐Amino derivatives of 5‐nitro­phenyl­acet­amide

The structures of the potential non‐linear optical (NLO) materials N‐[2‐(iso­propyl­amino)‐5‐nitro­phenyl]­acet­amide, (I) C₁₁H₁₅N₃O₃, and N‐[2‐(butyl­amino)‐5‐nitro­phenyl]­acet­amide, (II) C₁₂H₁₇N₃O₃, have been investigated by X‐ray analysis. To compare them with the structure of N‐[2‐(di­methyl­amino)‐5‐nitro­phenyl]­acet­amide, (III) C₁₀H₁₃N₃O₃, a known NLO compound, we had to redetermine the structure of (III), since it was described only briefly in the literature. There are two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of compound (I), which have different orientations of the substituents with respect to the benzene ring. The packing of mol­ecules in (II) and (III) contains stacks but both (I) and (II) crystallize in a centrosymmetric space group, which renders them inappropriate for NLO applications.     

Two 2,2‐dihalo‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­cyclo­propane‐1‐carbox­amides

The crystal structures of (1R,1′S)‐2′,2′‐di­chloro‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­cyclo­propane‐1′‐carbox­amide, C₁₂H₁₃Cl₂NO, (I), and (1R,1′R)‐2′,2′‐di­fluoro‐N‐(1‐phenyl­ethyl)­cyclo­propane‐1′‐car­box­amide, C₁₂H₁₃F₂NO, (II), have been determined. Both crystals contain two independent mol­ecules with different conformations of the phenyl­ethyl groups. In the crystals of both compounds, the mol­ecules are linked together by N—H⃛O hydrogen bonds, thus forming chains in the a direction.     

Three (E)‐2‐[(bromo­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]‐4‐methoxy­phenols

The title compounds, (E)‐2‐[(2‐bromo­phenyl)imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (I), (E)‐2‐[(3‐bromo­phenyl)­imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (II), and (E)‐2‐[(4‐bromo­phenyl)imino­methyl]‐4‐methoxy­phenol, C₁₄H₁₂BrNO₂, (III), adopt the phenol–imine tautomeric form. In all three structures, there are strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Compound (I) has strong inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, while compound (III) has weak inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. In addition to these inter­molecular inter­actions, C—H⋯π inter­actions in (I) and (III), and π–π inter­actions in (I), play roles in the crystal packing. The dihedral angles between the aromatic rings are 15.34 (12), 6.1 (3) and 39.2 (14)° for (I), (II) and (III), respectively.     

N‐(3H‐Thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine and N‐methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine

The geometries of the thia­zole ring and the nitr­amino groups in N‐(3H‐thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine, C₃H₃N₃O₂S, (I), and N‐­methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, (II), are very similar. The nitr­amine group in (II) is planar and twisted along the C—N bond with respect to the thia­zole ring. In both structures, the asymmetric unit includes two practically equal mol­ecules. In (I), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers connected to each other by N—H⋯N and much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of (II), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers bound to each other by both weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and S⋯O dipolar interactions.     

Bis­(di‐μ‐acetato‐aqua{2‐[N‐ethyl‐N‐(2‐hydroxy‐4‐methyl­benzyl)­amino­methyl]‐1‐methyl­benz­imid­az­ole}­nickel)­nickel(II) tetra­hy­drate

The previously unknown title compound, tetra‐μ‐ace­tato‐1:2κ²O;1:2κ²O:O′;­2:3κ²O;­2:3κ²O:O′‐di­aqua‐1κO,3κO‐bis­(μ‐2‐{[N‐ethyl‐N‐(2‐hy­droxy‐5‐methylbenzyl)­am­ino]­methyl}‐1‐methyl‐1H‐benz­imid­az­ole)‐1κ³N³,N,O:2κO;3κ³N³,N,O:2κO‐tri­nickel(II) tetra­hy­drate, [Ni₃(C₁₈H₂₂N₃O)₂(C₂H₃O₂)₄(H₂O)₂]·­4H₂O, (I), is a centrosymmetric linear trinuclear nickel(II) complex, where the Ni atoms are in an octahedral coordination and the ligand heteroatoms act so as to model amino acid residues.     

2‐[(E)‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)­methyl­ene­amino]‐N‐(X‐methyl­phenyl)‐4,5,6,7‐tetra­hydro‐1‐benzo­thio­phene‐3‐carbox­amide,where X = 2 and 3

The title compounds, both C₂₃H₂₁ClN₂OS, are isomeric, with (I) and (II) being the N‐3‐methyl­phenyl and N‐2‐methyl­phenyl derivatives, respectively. The dihedral angle between the 4‐chloro­phenyl group and the thio­phene ring in (II) [38.1 (1)°] is larger than that in (I) [7.1 (1)°], indicating steric repulsion between the chloro­phenyl and o‐toluidine groups in (II). In both compounds, an intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond forms a pseudo‐six‐membered ring, thus locking the molecular conformation. In the crystal structures, mol­ecules are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along the b axis in (I) and along the c axis in (II). Intermolecular C—H⋯O/S and π–π interactions are also observed in (II), but not in (I).     

4‐(N‐Hydroxy­ethyl‐N‐methyl­amino)­benz­aldehyde thio­semicarbazone

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C₁₁H₁₆N₄OS, the phenyl ring and the thio­semicarbazone moiety from a dihedral angle of 7.7 (1)°. The crystal structure is governed by N—H?O and O—H?S hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of a two‐dimensional network.     

trans‐(2‐Methyl­thio­benzoato‐O)phenylbis­(tri­phenyl­phosphine)­palladium(II), two conformational isomers

The title compound, trans‐[Pd(C₆H₅)(C₈H₇O₂S)(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂], crystallizes in two modifications differing only in the orientation of the 2‐methyl­thio­benzoato ligand. In both cases, this ligand binds to the metal centre via one O atom in a monodentate fashion. The only significant difference is a rotation about the C(Ph)—COO bond, with O—C—C—C torsion angles having values of 6.3 (7) and 157.3 (3)° in the two isomeric forms.     

N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐Hydr­oxy‐5‐methyl­phen­yl)­eth­yl]‐N‐[(R)‐1‐(2‐meth­oxy‐5‐methyl­phen­yl)‐2‐phenyl­eth­yl]aminium chloride

The title compound, C₂₅H₃₀NO₂⁺·Cl⁻, has been synthesized, and the crystal structure shows that it is mainly stabilized through inter­molecular N—H·Cl and O—H·Cl and intra­molecular N—H·O hydrogen bonds. The absolute configuration of the new stereogenic center (the C atom adjacent to the N atom on the phenol side) was determined to have an R configuration.     

5‐Nitro‐N‐phenyl‐2‐thio­fur­amide

The title compound, C₁₁H₈N₂O₃S, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol­ecules, which are conformationally almost identical, per asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and 2‐thio­fur­amide planes are 46.3 (1) and 47.0 (1)° for the first and second mol­ecule, respectively. Strong intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bonds [N?O 2.664 (2) and 2.661 (2) Å] dictate an anti conformation of the C=S groups in relation to the furan‐O atoms.
