A 1:1 cocrystal of fluconazole with salicylic acid

The interaction of the antifungal pharmaceutical agent fluconazole with salicylic acid in acetonitrile solution yields the 1:1 cocrystal 2‐(2,4‐difluorophenyl)‐1,3‐bis(1H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)propan‐2‐ol–2‐hydroxybenzoic acid (1/1), C₁₃H₁₂F₂N₆O·C₇H₆O₃. The asymmetric unit consists of one molecule of fluconazole and one molecule of salicylic acid, both in their neutral forms. Both crystal agents form head‐to‐tail hydrogen‐bonded dimers, which are further connected into hydrogen‐bonded extended zigzag tapes propagating along the ac diagonal.     

Metal-organic frameworks based on unprecedented trinuclear and pentanuclear metal-tetrazole clusters as secondary building units

Solvothermal reactions of manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate with a bis-tetrazole ligand, 2,6-di(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)naphthalene (H(2)NDT), in N,N'-dimethylformamide (DMF)/MeOH mixed solvent at two slightly different temperatures, 75 and 100 °C, led to two different metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), [Mn(II)(3)O(HNDT)(2)(NDT)(DMF)(3)] (1) and [Mn(II)(5)O(2)(HNDT)(2)(NDT)(2)(DMF)(8)] (2), with different net topologies. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that 1 is constructed from an unprecedented trinuclear building block, [Mn(II)(3)O(CN(4))(6)], as a 6-connected trigonal prismatic secondary building unit (SBU) of topological D(3h) site symmetry, and that the ligand in the HNDT(-1)/NDT(2-) deprotonation states is a linker, where two tetrazole (CN(4)) groups of the ligand are connected via a rigid naphthyl group. The tetrazole groups in 1 adopt a 1,2-μ-bridging mode with the manganese(II) ions to form a μ(3)-oxo trinuclear SBU. The trigonalprismatic SBU in 1 is connected to six neighboring SBUs to form a three-dimensional MOF of acs net topology. 2 is constructed from an unprecedented pentanuclear building block, [Mn(II)(5)O(2)(CN(4))(8)], as an 8-connected tetragonal prismatic SBU of topological D(4h) site symmetry. The tetrazole groups in 2 adopt monodentate, 1,2-μ- and 2,3-μ-bridging bidentate and 1,2,3-μ-bridging tridentate binding modes with the manganese(II) centers to form a bis-μ(3)-oxo pentanuclear SBU of local C(2) site symmetry. The tetragonal prismatic SBU in 2 is connected to eight neighboring SBUs to form a 3-D MOF of bcu net topology.     

Intermolecular C—H...π interactions in 1,5‐diphenyl‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐2‐pyrazoline

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₇N₃, is a derivative of 1,3,5‐triaryl‐2‐pyrazoline and can act as an N,N′‐bidentate ligand. This molecule features strong fluorescence that can be explained by an extended pyridyl–C=N—N–phenyl system. The three‐dimensional structure is formed by means of an extended network of weak C—H...π hydrogen bonds supported by π–π interactions.     

Coordination polymers based on square planar Co(II) node and linear spacer: solvent-dependent pseudo-polymorphism and an unprecedented interpenetrating structure containing both 2D and 3D topological isomers

Reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 1-methyl-1'-(4-pyridyl)-2-(4-pyrimidyl)ethylene (mppe) in different solvents yields two kinds of novel coordination polymer structures of [Co(mppe)2(NCS)2]n: one of them shows an unprecedented interpenetrating structure with both 2D and 3D topological isomers.     

Porous metal-organic frameworks based on metal-organic polyhedra with nanosized cavities as supramolecular building blocks: two-fold interpenetrating primitive cubic networks of [Cu6L8]12+ nanocages

Discrete metal-organic polyhedra (MOP) with nanosized cavities and/or clusters of MOP could be prepared when C3-symmetric facial ligands and a potential hexatopic Cu(II) ion are combined in the presence of perchlorate as a weak linker, while similar reaction conditions in the presence of a nitrate linker led to extended metal-organic frameworks made of MOP as supramolecular building blocks.     

Selective gas sorption property of an interdigitated 3-D metal-organic framework with 1-D channels

An interdigitated 3-D metal-organic framework, [Cd(3)(OH)(2)L(4)(H(2)O)(2)], with 1-D channels was prepared using 4-aminophenyl-1H-tetrazole (HL) and Cd(II) ions, where the host framework shows selective gas sorption behavior that is based on the different nature of the interactions between the gas and the framework rather than on the size-exclusion effect of the micropores.     

4‐Aminopyridinium hydrogen maleate

The title compound, C₅H₇N₂⁺·C₄H₃O₄⁻, crystallizes in space group P2₁ with one ion pair in the asymmetric unit. The hydrogen maleate anion possesses nearly planar geometry and displays an extremely short intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond, with an O...O distance of 2.4198 (19) Å. Classical N—H...O hydrogen bonds, together with short C—H...O contacts, generate an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network.     

Size- and shape-selective isostructural microporous metal-organic frameworks with different effective aperture sizes

Two isostructural metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) having micropores of the same "static aperture size" but different "effective aperture size" have been prepared using 5-(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)isophthalic acid as a ligand having two different types of functional units, an isophthalate (iph) unit and a pyridyl unit, simultaneously in a single ligand. The combination of iph unit and Cu (or Zn) ion led to two-dimensional layers of Kagome? (kgm) net topology, the layers being further pillared by the internal auxiliary pyridyl unit to form a three-dimensional microporous framework having two different types of cage-like pores, cage A and cage B, with different aperture sizes and shapes. (1) The MOFs can distinguish the adsorbates (N(2)/Ar) not based on the widely used kinetic diameters of the adsorbates but based on the minimum diameters of the adsorbates, which are more shape dependent. While cage A with a sufficiently large aperture size compared with the size of the adsorbates does not show any size selectivity, cage B with an approximate size match between the adsorbates and the pore apertures shows shape selectivity for the adsorbates. The smaller but spherically shaped Ar atom is not allowed into the pore with the oval-shaped aperture; however, the larger linear N(2) molecule is allowed into the pore with the oval-shaped aperture. (2) Even though the two isostructural MOFs have the same static aperture size of cage B, they show different size selectivity for the adsorbates based on the effective aperture size, which reflects the different extents of the framework flexibility.
