In the title compounds, C16H9Cl2N2O2·C4H8O2 and C16H9Cl2N2O2, the bicyclic 4H-chromene cores are nearly planar with maximum deviations of 0.081 (2) and 0.087 (2) Å. In both structures, the chromene derivative mol­ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by pairs of N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming R22(16) motifs. These dimers are further linked in the 3,4-di­chloro­phenyl derivative by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into double layers parallel to (100) and in the 2,6-di­chloro­phenyl derivative by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into ribbons along the [1overline{1}0] direction. In the 3,4-di­chloro­phenyl derivative, the 1,4-dioxane solvent mol­ecules are connected to the chromene mol­ecules via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title pyrazoline derivative, C16H16N2O3·H2O, the pyrazoline ring has an envelope conformation with the substituted sp2 C atom on the flap. The pyrazoline ring makes angles of 86.73 (12) and 13.44 (12)° with the tris­ubstituted and disubstituted benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal structure, the mol­ecules are connected into chains running in the b-axis direction by O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. Parallel chains inter­act through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking of the tris­ubstituted phenyl rings. The major contribution to the surface contacts are H⋯H contacts (44.3%) as concluded from a Hirshfeld surface analysis.

In the title hydrazinecarbodi­thio­ate derivative, C27H26N2O2S2, the asymmetric unit is comprised of four mol­ecules (Z = 8 and Z' = 4). The 4-meth­oxy­phenyl rings are slightly twisted away from their attached olefinic double bonds [torsion angles = 5.9 (4)–19.6 (4)°]. The azomethine double bond has an s-trans configuration relative to one of the C=C bonds and an s-cis configuration relative to the other [C=C—C= N = 147.4 (6)–175.7 (2) and 15.3 (3)–37.4 (7)°, respectively]. The torsion angles between the azomethine C=N double bond and hydrazine-1-carbodi­thio­ate moiety indicate only small deviations from planarity, with torsion angles ranging from 0.9 (3) to 6.9 (3)° and from 174.9 (3) to 179.7 (2)°, respectively. The benzyl ring and the methyl­enesulfanyl moiety are almost perpendicular to each other, as indicated by their torsion angles [range 93.7 (3)–114.6 (2)°]. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O, N—H⋯S and C—H⋯π(ring) hydrogen-bonding inter­actions into a three-dimensional network. Structural details of related benzyl hydrazine-1-carbodi­thio­ate are surveyed and compared with those of the title compound.

The benzo­pyran ring of the title com­pound, C16H11ClN2O2, is planar [maximum deviation = 0.079 (2) Å] and is almost perpendicular to the chloro­phenyl ring [dihedral angle = 86.85 (6)°]. In the crystal, N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds form inter- and intra­molecular inter­actions. The DFT/B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) method was used to determine the HOMO–LUMO energy levels. The mol­ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to analyse the inter­molecular inter­actions in the mol­ecule.

In the title com­pound, C29H22N4O3, the carbazole system forms a dihedral angle of 68.45 (3)° with the mean plane of the bi­pyridine ring system. The bi­pyridine ring system, with two meth­oxy substituents, is approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0670 Å), with a dihedral angle of 7.91 (13)° between the planes of the two pyridine rings. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O/N hydrogen bonds may promote the planarity of the bipyridyl ring system. In the pyridyl-substituted carbazole fragment, the pyridine ring is tilted by 56.65 (4)° with respect to the mean plane of the carbazole system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0191 Å). In the crystal, adjacent mol­ecules are connected via C—H⋯O/N hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional (3D) supra­molecular network. In addition, the 3D structure contains inter­molecular π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.5634 (12) Å between pyridine rings. The title com­pound exhibits a high energy gap (3.48 eV) and triplet energy (2.64 eV), indicating that it could be a suitable host material in organic light-emitting diode (OLED) applications.

The asymmetric unit of the title com­pound, catena-poly[[[(perchlorato-κO)copper(II)]-μ-3-(3-carb­oxy­prop­yl)-1,5,8,12-tetra­aza-3-azonia­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N5,N8,N12] bis­(per­chlorate)], {[Cu(C13H30N5O2)(ClO4)](ClO4)2}n, (I), consists of a macrocyclic cation, one coordinated per­chlorate anion and two per­chlorate ions as counter-anions. The metal ion is coordinated in a tetra­gonally distorted octa­hedral geometry by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, the mutually trans O atoms of the per­chlorate anion and the carbonyl O atom of the protonated carb­oxy­lic acid group of a neighbouring cation. The average equatorial Cu—N bond lengths [2.01 (6) Å] are significantly shorter than the axial Cu—O bond lengths [2.379 (8) Å for carboxyl­ate and average 2.62 (7) Å for disordered per­chlorate]. The coordinated macrocyclic ligand in (I) adopts the most energetically favourable trans-III conformation with an equatorial orientation of the substituent at the protonated distal 3-position N atom in a six-membered chelate ring. The coordination of the carb­oxy­lic acid group of the cation to a neighbouring com­plex unit results in the formation of infinite chains running along the b-axis direction, which are cross­linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the secondary amine groups of the macrocycle and O atoms of the per­chlorate counter-anions to form sheets lying parallel to the (001) plane. Additionally, the extended structure of (I) is consolidated by numerous intra- and interchain C—H⋯O contacts.

A zinc metal–organic framework, namely poly[bis­(N,N-di­ethyl­formamide)(μ4-naphthalene-2,6-di­carboxyl­ato)(μ2-naphthalene-2,6-di­carboxyl­ato)dizinc(II)], [Zn(C12H6O4)(C15H11NO)]n, built from windmill-type secondary building units and forming zigzag shaped two-dimensional stacked layers, has been solvothermally synthesized from naphthalene-2,6-di­carb­oxy­lic acid and zinc(II) acetate as the metal source in N,N-di­ethyl­formamide containing small amounts of formic acid.

In the title com­pound, C13H14N2O3, the dihydropyridazine ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.166 Å) has a screw-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between its mean plane and the benzene ring is 0.77 (12)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate C(5) chains and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds produce R22(8) motifs. These types of inter­actions lead to the formation of layers parallel to (12overline{1}). The three-dimensional network is achieved by C—H⋯O inter­actions, including R24(8) motifs. Inter­molecular inter­actions were additionally investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The most significant contributions to the crystal packing are by H⋯H (43.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (19.3%), H⋯O/H⋯O (22.6%), C⋯N/N⋯C (3.0%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.8%) contacts. C—H⋯π inter­actions and aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions are not observed.

Two thio­chromene com­pounds containing Br and F atoms, namely 2-(2-bromo-5-fluoro­phen­yl)-8-eth­oxy-3-nitro-2H-thio­chromene (C17H13BrFNO3S, A) and 2-(2-bromo-5-fluoro­phen­yl)-7-meth­oxy-3-nitro-2H-thio­chromene (C16H11BrFNO3S, B), were prepared via the condensation reaction between 2-mer­capto­benzaldehyde and nitro­styrene derivatives. In both com­pounds, the thio­chromene plane is almost perpendicular to the phenyl ring. In the structure of A, mol­ecules are assembled via π–π stacking and C—H⋯O and C—F⋯π inter­actions. In the crystal packing of B, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯F, C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions.

The title com­pound, C24H24N2O6, consists of ethyl 2-(1,2,3,4-tetra­hydro-2-oxo­quinolin-1-yl)acetate and 4-[(2-eth­oxy-2-oxoeth­yl)(phen­yl)carbomoyl] units, where the oxo­quinoline unit is almost planar and the acetate substituent is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane. In the crystal, C—HOxqn⋯OEthx and C—HPh­yl⋯OCarbx (Oxqn = oxoquinolin, Ethx = eth­oxy, Phyl = phenyl and Carbx = carboxyl­ate) weak hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network sturucture. A π–π inter­action between the constituent rings of the oxo­quinoline unit, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.675 (1) Å may further stabilize the structure. Both terminal ethyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites. The ratios of the refined occupanies are 0.821 (8):0.179 (8) and 0.651 (18):0.349 (18). The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (53.9%), H⋯O/O⋯H (28.5%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (11.8%) inter­actions. Weak inter­molecular hydrogen-bond inter­actions and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) geometric optimized structures at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level are com­pared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO mol­ecular orbital behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

In the title com­plex, [Cu(C18H12F6N2O4)]·0.5C6H6O2, the CuII ion has a square-planar coordination geometry, being ligated by two N and two O atoms of the tetra­dentate open-chain Schiff base ligand 6,6'-{(1E,1'E)-[ethane-1,2-diylbis(aza­nylyl­idene)]bis­(methanylyl­idene)}bis­[2-(tri­fluoro­meth­oxy)phenol]. The crystal packing is stabilized by intra­molecular O—H⋯O and inter­molecular C—H⋯F, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds. In addition, weak π–π inter­actions form a three-dimensional structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were performed and created to analyze the inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from F⋯H/H⋯F (25.7%), H⋯H (23.5%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (12.6%) inter­actions.

In the asymmetric unit of the title coordination compound, {[Cu(CN)(C4H3OC2H5N2)][Cu(CN)]}n, there are two Cu atoms with different coordination environments. One CuI ion is coordinated in a triangular coordination geometry by the N atom of the 2-eth­oxy­pyrazine mol­ecule and by two bridging cyanide ligands, equally disordered over two sites exchanging C and N atoms, thus forming polymeric chains parallel to the c axis. The other Cu atom is connected to two bridging cyanide groups disordered over two sites with an occupancy of 0.5 for each C and N atom, and forming an almost linear polymeric chain parallel to the b axis. In the crystal, the two types of chain, which are orthogonal to each other, are connected by cuprophilic Cu⋯Cu inter­actions [2.7958 (13) Å], forming two-dimensional metal–organic coordination layers parallel to the bc plane. The coordination framework is further stabilized by weak long-range (electrostatic type) C—H⋯π inter­actions between cyano groups and 2-eth­oxy­pyrazine rings.

The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni3(C8H4O4)3(C3H7NO)4], is a two-dimensional coordination network formed by trinuclear linear Ni3(tp)3(DMF)4 units (tp = terephthalate = benzene-1,4-di­carboxyl­ate and DMF = di­methyl­formamide) displaying a characteristic coordination mode of acetate groups in polynuclear metal–organic compounds. Individual trinuclear units are connected through tp anions in a triangular network that forms layers. One of the DMF ligands points outwards and provides inter­actions with equivalent planes above and below, leaving the second ligand in a structural void much larger than the DMF mol­ecule, which shows positional disorder. Parallel planes are connected mainly through weak C—H⋯O, H⋯H and H⋯C inter­actions between DMF mol­ecules, as shown by Hirshfeld surface analysis.

In the paper by Gomes et al. [Acta Cryst. (2019), E75, 1403–1410], there was an error and omission in the author and affiliation list.

The title compound, C20H22N8O2, was synthesized by the coupling reaction of a sodium tetra­zolate salt and di­bromo­butane in a molar ratio of 2:1. The reaction can produce several possible regioisomers and the title compound was separated as the major product. The X-ray crystallographic study confirmed that the title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group and possesses a bridging butyl­ene group that connects two identical phenyl tetra­zole moieties. The butyl­ene group is attached not to the first but the second nitro­gen atoms of both tetra­zole rings. The dihedral angles between the phenyl groups and the adjacent tetra­zolyl rings are 5.32 (6) and 15.37 (7)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules form centrosymmetric dimers through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between a C—H group of the butyl­ene linker and the O atom of a meth­oxy group.

The title compound, C9H7.5NO·C7H3.5ClNO4, was analysed as a disordered structure over two states, viz. co-crystal and salt, accompanied by a keto–enol tautomerization in the base mol­ecule. The co-crystal is 4-chloro-2-nitro­benzoic acid–quinolin-4(1H)-one (1/1), C7H4ClNO4·C9H7NO, and the salt is 4-hy­droxy­quinolinium 4-chloro-2-nitro­benzoate, C9H8NO+·C7H3ClNO4−. In the compound, the acid and base mol­ecules are held together by a short hydrogen bond [O⋯O = 2.4393 (15) Å], in which the H atom is disordered over two positions with equal occupancies. In the crystal, the hydrogen-bonded acid–base units are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a tape structure along the a-axis direction. The tapes are stacked into a layer parallel to the ab plane via π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5504 (8)–3.9010 (11) Å]. The layers are further linked by another C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a three-dimensional network. Hirshfeld surfaces for the title compound mapped over shape-index and dnorm were generated to visualize the inter­molecular inter­actions.

In the title compound, C17H21NO4S, the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring has an envelope conformation with the Csp3 atom at the flap. The thio­phene ring is nearly perpendicular to the best plane through the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring, the dihedral angle being 82.19 (13)°. In the crystal, chains running along the b-axis direction are formed through N—H⋯O inter­actions between the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine N atom and one of the O atoms of the ester groups. Neighbouring chains are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that the most prominent contributuion to the surface contacts are H⋯H contacts (55.1%).

A new polymorphic form of the title compound, C12H10O4, is described in the ortho­rhom­bic space group Pbca and Z = 8, as compared to polymorph I, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c and Z = 8 [Li et al. (2012). Chin. J. Struct. Chem. 31, 1003–1007.]. In polymorph II, the coumarin ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.00129 Å). In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by Csp3—H⋯O and Car—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming mol­ecular sheets linked into zigzag shaped layers along the b-axis direction. The three-dimensional lattice is assembled through stacking of the zigzag layers by π–π inter­actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.600 (9) Å and anti­parallel C=O⋯C=O inter­actions with a distance of 3.1986 (17) Å, which give rise to a helical supra­molecular architecture.

The structure of the jatrophane diterpenoid (ES2), C46H56O15, has ortho­rhom­bic (P212121) symmetry. The absolute configuration in the crystal has been determined as 2R,3R,4S,5R,7S,8S,9S,13S,14S,15R [the Flack parameter is −0.06 (11)]. The mol­ecular structure features intra­molecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into supra­molecular columns parallel to the a axis. One of the acet­oxy substituents is disordered over two orientations in a 0.826 (8):0.174 (8) ratio.

The synthesis and crystal structures of (E)-3-(4-hy­droxy­benzyl­idene)chroman-4-one, C16H12O3, I, and (E)-3-(3-hy­droxy­benzyl­idene)-2-phenyl­chroman-4-one, C22H16O3, II, are reported. These compounds are of inter­est with respect to biological activity. Both structures display inter­molecular C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding, forming layers in the crystal lattice. The crystal structure of compound I is consolidated by π–π inter­actions. The lipophilicity (logP) was determined as it is one of the parameters qualifying compounds as potential drugs. The logP value for compound I is associated with a larger contribution of C⋯H inter­action in the Hirshfeld surface.

In the title mol­ecule, C13H16N4O3, the mean planes of the phenyl and triazole rings are nearly perpendicular to one another as a result of the intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. In the crystal, layers parallel to (101) are generated by O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected by inversion-related pairs of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The experimental mol­ecular structure is close to the gas-phase geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important inter­action involving hydrogen in the title compound is the H⋯H contact. The contribution of the H⋯O, H⋯N, and H⋯H contacts are 13.6, 16.1, and 54.6%, respectively.

The title compound, C15H22N4O5S, was prepared via alkyl­ation of 3-(chloro­meth­yl)-5-(pentan-3-yl)-1,2,4-oxa­diazole in anhydrous dioxane in the presence of tri­ethyl­amine. The thia­diazine ring has an envelope conformation with the S atom displaced by 0.4883 (6) Å from the mean plane through the other five atoms. The planar 1,2,4-oxa­diazole ring is inclined to the mean plane of the thia­diazine ring by 77.45 (11)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the inter­molecular contacts present in the crystal. Mol­ecular docking studies were use to evaluate the title compound as a potential system that inter­acts effectively with the capsid of the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), supported by an experimental in vitro HBV replication model.

Each central platinum(II) atom in the crystal structures of chlorido­[dihy­droxybis­(1-imino­eth­oxy)arsanido-κ3N,As,N']platinum(II), [Pt(C4H10AsN2O4)Cl] (1), and of chlorido­[dihy­droxybis­(1-imino­prop­oxy)arsanido-κ3N,As,N']platinum(II), [Pt(C6H14AsN2O4)Cl] (2), is coordinated by two nitro­gen donor atoms, a chlorido ligand and to arsenic, which, in turn, is coordinated by two oxygen donor ligands, two hydroxyl ligands and the platinum(II) atom. The square-planar and trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environments around platinum and arsenic, respectively, are significantly distorted with the largest outliers being 173.90 (13) and 106.98 (14)° for platinum and arsenic in (1), and 173.20 (14)° and 94.20 (9)° for (2), respectively. One intra­molecular and four classical inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions are observed in the crystal structure of (1), which give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network. A similar situation (one intra­molecular and four classical inter­molecular hydrogen-bonding inter­actions) is observed in the crystal structure of (2). Various π-inter­actions are present in (1) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.7225 (7) Å, and between the centroids of five-membered (Pt, As, C, N, O) rings of neighbouring mol­ecules with distances of 3.7456 (4) and 3.7960 (6) Å. Likewise, weak π-inter­actions are observed in (2) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.8213 (2) Å, as well as between the Cl atom and the centroid of a symmetry-related five-membered ring with a distance of 3.8252 (12) Å. Differences between (2) and the reported polymorph [Miodragović et al. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10749–10752] are discussed.

Two new chalcones containing both pyrazole and thio­phene substituents have been prepared and structurally characterized. 3-(3-Methyl-5-phen­oxy-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)-1-(thio­phen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C23H18N2O2S (I), and 3-[3-methyl-5-(2-methyl­phen­oxy)-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl]-1-(thio­phen-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C24H20N2O2S (II), are isomorphous as well as isostructural, and in each the thio­phene substituent is disordered over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies 0.844 (3) and 0.156 (3) in (I), and 0.883 (2) and 0.117 (2) in (II). In each structure, the mol­ecules are linked into sheets by a combination of C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Comparisons are made with some related compounds.

In 2,2,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane-5-carb­oxy­lic acid, C8H14O4, the carboxyl group occupies an equatorial position on the 1,3-dioxane ring. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains of mol­ecules, which are linked into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The asymmetric unit of 2,2,5-trimethyl-1,3-dioxane-5-carb­oxy­lic anhydride, C16H26O7, consists of two independent mol­ecules, which are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, these units are connected into corrugated layers two mol­ecules thick and parallel to the ab plane by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C28H22N4O9, exhibits crystallographically imposed twofold rotational symmetry, with a dihedral angle of 66.0 (2)° between the planes of the two central benzene rings bounded to the central oxygen atom. The dihedral angle between the planes of the central benzene ring and the terminal phenol ring is 4.9 (2)°. Each half of the mol­ecule exhibits an imine E configuration. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond is present. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked into layers parallel to the ab plane via C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component pseudomerohedral twin.

The title compound I, 2,2'-[(2-nitro­phen­yl)methyl­ene]bis­(3-hy­droxy-5,5-di­methyl­cyclo­hex-2-enone), C23H27NO6, features a 1,3-ketone–enol conformation which is stabilized by two intra­molecular hydrogen bonds. The most prominent inter­molecular inter­actions in compound I are C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link mol­ecules into a two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane and a chain perpendicular to (1overline{1}1). Both title compounds II, ethyl 4-(4-hy­droxy-3,5-di­meth­oxy­phen­yl)-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa­hydro­quinoline-3-carb­oxyl­ate, C23H29NO6, and III, ethyl 4-(anthracen-9-yl)-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa­hydro­quinoline-3-carboxyl­ate, C29H29NO3, share the same structural features, such as a shallow boat conformation of the di­hydro­pyridine group and an orthogonal aryl group attached to the di­hydro­pyridine. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O bonding is present in the crystal packing of both compound II and III.

In the title compound, C12H15N3O5S, a tris­ubstituted thio­urea derivative, the central CN2S chromophore is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and the pendant hy­droxy­ethyl groups lie to either side of this plane. While to a first approximation the thione-S and carbonyl-O atoms lie to the same side of the mol­ecule, the S—C—N—C torsion angle of −47.8 (2)° indicates a considerable twist. As one of the hy­droxy­ethyl groups is orientated towards the thio­amide residue, an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is formed which leads to an S(7) loop. A further twist in the mol­ecule is indicated by the dihedral angle of 65.87 (7)° between the planes through the CN2S chromophore and the 4-nitro­benzene ring. There is a close match between the experimental and gas-phase, geometry-optimized (DFT) mol­ecular structures. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds give rise to supra­molecular layers propagating in the ab plane. The connections between layers to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are of the type C—H⋯O, C—H⋯S and nitro-O⋯π. The nature of the supra­molecular association has been further analysed by a study of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces, non-covalent inter­action plots and computational chemistry, all of which point to the significant influence and energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, C8H7NO5, is planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-hydrogen atoms of 0.018 Å. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the adjacent hy­droxy and nitro groups forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are linked by a further C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming slabs, which are linked by C=O⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional supra­molecular structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate inter­molecular inter­actions in the solid state. The mol­ecule was also characterized spectroscopically and its thermal stability investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and by thermogravimetric analysis.

The title hydrazine carbodi­thio­ate, C13H18N2OS2, is constructed about a central and almost planar C2N2S2 chromophore (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0263 Å); the terminal meth­oxy­benzene group is close to coplanar with this plane [dihedral angle = 3.92 (11)°]. The n-butyl group has an extended all-trans conformation [torsion angles S—Cm—Cm—Cm = −173.2 (3)° and Cm—Cm—Cm—Cme = 180.0 (4)°; m = methyl­ene and me = meth­yl]. The most prominent feature of the mol­ecular packing is the formation of centrosymmetric eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons, as a result of thio­amide-N—H⋯S(thio­amide) hydrogen bonds; these are linked via meth­oxy-C–H⋯π(meth­oxy­benzene) inter­actions to form a linear supra­molecular chain propagating along the a-axis direction. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots point to the significance of H⋯H (58.4%), S⋯H/H⋯S (17.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (8.2%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (4.9%) contacts in the packing. The energies of the most significant inter­actions, i.e. the N—H⋯S and C—H⋯π inter­actions have their most significant contributions from electrostatic and dispersive components, respectively. The energies of two other identified close contacts at close to van der Waals distances, i.e. a thione–sulfur and meth­oxy­benzene–hydrogen contact (occurring within the chains along the a axis) and between methyl­ene-H atoms (occurring between chains to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture), are largely dispersive in nature.

The unit cell of the title compound, [Zn(C17H18N3O4)2]·CH4O·C2H6O, contains two complex mol­ecules related by an inversion centre, plus one methanol and one ethanol solvent molecule per complex molecule. In each complex, two deprotonated pyridine aroylhydrazone ligands {3,4,5-trimeth­oxy-N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl­idene]benzohydrazide} coordinate to the ZnII ion through the N atoms of the pyridine group and the ketamine, and, additionally, through the O atom of the enolate group. In the crystal, dimers are formed by π–π inter­actions between the planar ligand moieties, which are further connected by C⋯O and C⋯C inter­actions. The inter­molecular inter­actions were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, revealing that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (44.8%), H⋯C/C⋯H (22.2%), H⋯O/O⋯H (18.7%) and C⋯C (3.9%) inter­actions.

In the title compound, [Zn(C50H36N6O5)], the ZnII cation is chelated by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrinate anion and coordinated by a symmetry-generated keto O atom of the diazo­ester group in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry. The mean Zn—N(pyrrole) bond length is 2.058 Å and the Zn—O(diazo­ester) bond length is 2.179 (4) Å. The zinc cation is displaced by 0.2202 (13) Å from the N4C20 mean plane of the porphyrinate anion toward the O atom; the involvement of this atom leads to a [100] polymeric chain in the crystal.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H28O4, comprises two half-mol­ecules, with the other half of each mol­ecule being completed by the application of twofold rotation symmetry. The two completed mol­ecules both have a V-shaped appearance but differ in their conformations. In the crystal, each independent mol­ecule forms chains extending parallel to the b axis with its symmetry-related counterparts through C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (65.4%), H⋯C/C⋯H (21.8%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (12.3%) inter­actions. Optimized structures using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structures in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

In the title mol­ecule, C12H13N3O2S, the benzo­thia­zine moiety is slightly non-planar, with the imidazolidine portion twisted only a few degrees out of the mean plane of the former. In the crystal, a layer structure parallel to the bc plane is formed by a combination of O—HHydethy⋯NThz hydrogen bonds and weak C—HImdz⋯OImdz and C—HBnz⋯OImdz (Hydethy = hy­droxy­ethyl, Thz = thia­zole, Imdz = imidazolidine and Bnz = benzene) inter­actions, together with C—HImdz⋯π(ring) and head-to-tail slipped π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.6507 (7) and 3.6866 (7) Å] inter­actions between thia­zole rings. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (47.0%), H⋯O/O⋯H (16.9%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.0%) and H⋯S/S⋯H (7.6%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, C—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond energies are 68.5 (for O—HHydethy⋯NThz), 60.1 (for C—HBnz⋯OImdz) and 41.8 kJ mol−1 (for C—HImdz⋯OImdz). Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state.

A coordination polymer formulated as [Sr(H2BTEC)(H2O)]n (H4BTEC = benzene-1,2,4,5-tetra­carb­oxy­lic acid, C10H6O8), was synthesized hydro­thermally and characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and thermal analysis. Its crystal structure is made up of a zigzag inorganic chain formed by edge-sharing of [SrO8] polyhedra running along [001]. Adjacent chains are connected to each other via the carboxyl­ate groups of the ligand, resulting in a double-layered network extending parallel to (100). O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds of medium-to-weak strength between the layers consolidate the three-dimensional structure. One of the carb­oxy­lic OH functions was found to be disordered over two sets of sites with half-occupancy.

The title compound, C22H22O2S2, 1, represents an example of an ortho-vanillin-based functionalized di­thio­ether, which could be useful as a potential chelating ligand or bridging ligand for coordination chemistry. This di­thio­acetal 1 crystallizes in the ortho­rhom­bic space group Pbca. The phenyl rings of the benzyl groups and that of the vanillin unit form dihedral angles of 35.38 (6) and 79.77 (6)°, respectively. The crystal structure, recorded at 100 K, displays both weak intra­molecular O—H⋯O and inter­molecular O—H⋯S hydrogen bonding.

The asymmetric units of the title compounds, namely, catena-poly[[(1,4,8,11-tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N4,N8,N11)nickel(II)]-μ-1,3-bis­(3-carboxyl­ato­prop­yl)tetra­methyl­disiloxane-κ2O:O'], [Ni(C10H24O5Si2)(C12H24N4)]n (I), and catena-poly[[[(1,4,8,11-tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane-κ4N1,N4,N8,N11)nickel(II)]-μ-4-({[(3-carb­oxy­prop­yl)di­methyl­sil­yl]­oxy}di­methyl­sil­yl)butano­ato-κ2O:O'] per­chlorate], {[Ni(C10H25O5Si2)(C12H24N4)]ClO4}n (II), consist of one (in I) or two crystallographically non-equivalent (in II) centrosymmetric macrocyclic cations and one centrosymmetric dianion (in I) or two centrosymmetric monoanions (in II). In each compound, the metal ion is coordinated by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, which adopts the most energetically stable trans-III conformation, and the mutually trans O atoms of the carboxyl­ate in a slightly tetra­gonally distorted trans-NiN4O2 octa­hedral coordination geometry. The crystals of both types of compounds are composed of parallel polymeric chains of the macrocyclic cations linked by the anions of the acid running along the [101] and [110] directions in I and II, respectively. In I, each polymeric chain is linked to four neighbouring ones by hydrogen bonding between the NH groups of the macrocycle and the carboxyl­ate O atoms, thus forming a three-dimensional supra­molecular network. In II, each polymeric chain contacts with only two neighbours, forming hydrogen bonds between the partially protonated carb­oxy­lic groups of the bridging ligand. As a result, a lamellar structure is formed with the layers oriented parallel to the (1overline{1}1) plane.

In the title compound, C18H18ClN3O2S, the dihedral angle between the fused pyrazole and pyridine rings is 3.81 (9)°. The benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 35.08 (10) and 36.26 (9)° with the pyrazole and pyridine rings, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules along [100].

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H11NO4, which was synthesized via nitration reaction of eugenol (4-allyl-2-meth­oxy­phenol) with a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, consists of three independent mol­ecules of similar geometry. Each mol­ecule displays an intra­molecular hydrogen bond involving the hydroxide and the nitro group forming an S(6) motif. The crystal cohesion is ensured by inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in addition to π–π stacking inter­actions between the aromatic rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6583 (17)–4.0624 (16) Å]. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and the two-dimensional fingerprint plots show that H⋯H (39.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (37.7%), C⋯H/H⋯C (12.5%) and C⋯C (4%) are the most important contributors towards the crystal packing.

Crystal structures are reported for N-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)piperazine (MeOPP), (I), and for its 3,5-di­nitro­benzoate, 2,4,6-tri­nitro­phenolate (picrate) and 4-amino­benzoate salts, (II)–(IV), the last of which crystallizes as a monohydrate. In MeOPP, C11H16N2O, (I), the 4-meth­oxy­phenyl group is nearly planar and it occupies an equatorial site on the piperazine ring: the mol­ecules are linked into simple C(10) chains by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In each of the salts, i.e., C11H17N2O+·C7H3N2O6−, (II), C11H17N2O+·C6H2N3O7−, (III), and C11H17N2O+·C7H6NO2−·H2O, (IV), the effectively planar 4-meth­oxy­phenyl substituent again occupies an equatorial site on the piperazine ring. In (II), two of the nitro groups are disordered over two sets of atomic sites and the bond distances in the anion indicate considerable delocalization of the negative charge over the C atoms of the ring. The ions in (II) are linked by two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a cyclic, centrosymmetric four-ion aggregate; those in (III) are linked by a combination of N—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form sheets; and the components of (IV) are linked by N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional framework structure. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

The title compound, bis­(4-hy­droxy-N-isopropyl-N-methyl­tryptammonium) (4-HO-MiPT) fumarate (systematic name: bis­{[2-(4-hy­droxy-1H-indol-3-yl)eth­yl](meth­yl)propan-2-yl­aza­nium} but-2-enedioate), 2C14H21N2O+·C4H2O42−, has a singly protonated tryptammonium cation and one half of a fumarate dianion in the asymmetric unit. The tryptammonium and fumarate ions are held together in one-dimensional chains by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These chains are a combination of R42(20) rings, and C22(15) and C44(30) parallel chains along (110). They are further consolidated by N—H⋯π inter­actions. There are two two-component types of disorder impacting the tryptammonium fragment with a 0.753 (7):0.247 (7) occupancy ratio and one of the fumarate oxygen atoms with a 0.73 (8):0.27 (8) ratio.

The title compound, a major animal feed supplement, abbreviated as HMTBA and alternatively called dl-me­thio­nine hy­droxy analogue, C5H10O3S, (I), was isolated in pure anhydrous monomeric form. The melting point is 302.5 K and the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, with two conformationally non-equivalent mol­ecules [(IA) and (IB)] in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure is formed by alternating polar and non-polar layers running along the bc plane and features an extensive hydrogen-bonding network within the polar layers. The Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed a significant contribution of non-polar H⋯H and H⋯S inter­actions to the packing forces for both mol­ecules.

The syntheses and crystal structures of three mol­ecular salts of protonated 3,4-di­amino­benzoic acid, viz. 2-amino-5-carb­oxy­anilinium chloride, C7H9N2O2+·Cl−, (I), 2-amino-5-carb­oxy­anilinium bromide, C7H9N2O2+·Br−, (II), and 2-amino-5-carb­oxy­anilinium nitrate monohydrate, C7H9N2O2+·NO3−·H2O, (III), are described. The cation is protonated at the meta-N atom (with respect to the carb­oxy group) in each case. In the crystal of (I), carb­oxy­lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairwise O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are seen and each N—H group forms a hydrogen bond to a chloride ion to result in (100) undulating layers of chloride ions bridged by the inversion dimers into a three-dimensional network. The extended structure of (II) features O—H⋯Br, N—H⋯Br and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds: the last of these generates C(7) chains of cations. Overall, the packing in (II) features undulating (100) sheets of bromide ions alternating with the organic cations. Inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystal of (III) include O—H⋯O, O—H⋯(O,O), N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and O—H⋯N links. The cations are linked into (001) sheets, and the nitrate ions and water mol­ecules form undulating chains. Taken together, alternating (001) slabs of organic cations plus anions/water mol­ecules result. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were generated to give further insight into the inter­molecular inter­actions in these structures. The crystal used for the data collection of (II) was twinned by rotation about [100] in reciprocal space in a 0.4896 (15):0.5104 (15) ratio.

Two salts were prepared by methyl­ation of the respective imidazoline-2-thione at the sulfur atom, using Meerwein's salt (tri­methyl­oxonium tetra­fluorido­borate) in CH2Cl2. 1,3-Dimeth­oxy-2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)imidazolium tetra­fluorido­borate (1), C6H11N2O2S+·BF4−, displays a syn conformation of its two meth­oxy groups relative to each other whereas the two benz­yloxy groups present in 1,3-dibenz­yloxy-2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)imidazolium tetra­fluorido­borate (2), C18H19N2O2S+·BF4−, adopt an anti conformation. In the mol­ecules of 1 and 2, the methyl­sulfanyl group is rotated out of the plane of the respective heterocyclic ring. In both crystal structures, inter­molecular inter­actions are dominated by C—H⋯F—B contacts, leading to three-dimensional networks. The tetra­fluorido­borate counter-ion of 2 is disordered over three orientations (occupancy ratio 0.42:0.34:0.24), which are related by rotation about one of the B—F bonds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H7N2O+·C4H4NO4S−, contains one cation and one anion. The 6-methyl-2,2,4-trioxo-2H,4H-1,2,3-oxa­thia­zin-3-ide anion adopts an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. In the crystal, the anions and cations are held together by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus forming a three-dimensional structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that the crystal packing is dominated by O⋯H/H⋯O (43.1%) and H⋯H (24.2%) contacts.

The title compound, C24H18FNO3, crystallizes in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space group P21/n and its mol­ecular conformation is stabilized via C—H⋯O intra­molecular inter­actions. The supra­molecular network mainly comprises C—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π inter­actions, which contribute towards the formation of the crystal structure. The different inter­molecular inter­actions have been further analysed via Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots.

In the fused ring system of the title compound, C32H37NO4, the central di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, the mean and maximum deviations of the di­hydro­pyridine ring being 0.1429 (2) and 0.2621 (2) Å, respectively. The two cyclo­hexenone rings adopt envelope conformations with the tetra­substituted C atoms as flap atoms. The benzene and phenyl rings form dihedral angles of 85.81 (2) and 88.90 (2)°, respectively, with the mean plane of the di­hydro­pyridine ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a helical chain along the b-axis direction. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (65.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (18.8%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (13.9%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations for the frontier mol­ecular orbitals were undertake to determine the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

The title centrosymmetric NiII complex, [Ni(NCS)2(C15H22N2O2)2], crystallizes with one half mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit of the monoclinic unit cell. The complex adopts an octa­hedral coordination geometry with two mutually trans benzyl-2-(heptan-4-yl­idene)hydrazine-1-carboxyl­ate ligands in the equatorial plane with the axial positions occupied by N-bound thio­cyanato ligands. The overall conformation of the mol­ecule is also affected by two, inversion-related, intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure features N—H⋯S, C—H⋯S and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds together with C—H⋯π contacts that stack the complexes along the b-axis direction. The packing was further explored by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The thermal properties of the complex were also investigated by simultaneous TGA–DTA analyses.

The title compound, C18H16N2O2, consists of perimidine and meth­oxy­phenol units, where the tricyclic perimidine unit contains a naphthalene ring system and a non-planar C4N2 ring adopting an envelope conformation with the NCN group hinged by 47.44 (7)° with respect to the best plane of the other five atoms. In the crystal, O—HPhnl⋯NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn⋯OPhnl (Phnl = phenol and Prmdn = perimidine) hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. Weak C—H⋯π inter­actions may further stabilize the crystal structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (49.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (35.8%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (12.0%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the O—HPhnl⋯NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn⋯OPhnl hydrogen-bond energies are 58.4 and 38.0 kJ mol−1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

Terbium oxychloride, TbOCl, was synthesized via the simple heat-treatment of TbCl3·6H2O and its structure was determined by refinement against X-ray powder diffraction data. TbOCl crystallizes with the matlockite (PbFCl) structure in the tetra­gonal space group P4/nmm and is composed of alternating (001) layers of (TbO)n and n Cl−. The unit-cell parameters, unit-cell volume, and density were compared to the literature data of other isostructural rare-earth oxychlorides in the same space group and showed good agreement when compared to the calculated trendlines.
