A novel o-phenyl­enedi­amine (opda)-based cadmium complex, bis­(benzene-1,2-di­amine-κ2N,N')bis­(benzene-1,2-di­amine-κN)cadmium(II) naphthalene-1,5-di­sulfonate, [Cd(C6H8N2)4](C10H6O6S2), was synthesized. The complex salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The Cd atom occupies a special position and coordinates six nitro­gen atoms from four o-phenyl­enedi­amine mol­ecules, two as chelating ligands and two as monodentate ligands. The amino H atoms of opda inter­act with two O atoms of the naphthalene-1,5-di­sulfonate anions. The anions act as bridges between [Cd(opda)4]2+ cations, forming a two-dimensional network in the [010] and [001] directions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that the primary factors contributing to the supramolecular inter­actions are short contacts, particularly van der Waals forces of the type H⋯H, O⋯H and C⋯H.

Two new copper dimers, namely, bis­(dimethyl sulfoxide)­tetra­kis­(μ-pyrene-1-carboxyl­ato)dicopper(Cu—Cu), [Cu2(C17H9O2)4(C2H6OS)2] or [Cu2(pyr-COO−)4(DMSO)2] (1), and bis­(di­methyl­formamide)­tetra­kis­(μ-pyrene-1-carboxyl­ato)dicopper(Cu—Cu), [Cu2(C17H9O2)4(C3H7NO)2] or [Cu2(pyr-COO−)4(DMF)2] (2) (pyr = pyrene), were synthesized from the reaction of pyrene-1-carb­oxy­lic acid, copper(II) nitrate and tri­ethyl­amine from solvents DMSO and DMF, respectively. While 1 crystallized in the space group Poverline{1}, the crystal structure of 2 is in space group P21/n. The Cu atoms have octa­hedral geometries, with four oxygen atoms from carboxyl­ate pyrene ligands occupying the equatorial positions, a solvent mol­ecule coordinating at one of the axial positions, and a Cu⋯Cu contact in the opposite position. The packing in the crystal structures exhibits π–π stacking inter­actions and short contacts through the solvent mol­ecules. The Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were generated for both compounds to better understand the inter­molecular inter­actions and the contribution of heteroatoms from the solvent ligands to the crystal packing. In addition, a Cu2+/Cu1+ quasi-reversible redox process was identified for compound 2 using cyclic voltammetry that accounts for a diffusion-controlled electron-donation process to the Cu dimer.

The title compound, C20H16N2O2, is composed of two monosubstituted benzene rings and one benzimidazole unit. The benzimidazole moiety subtends dihedral angles of 46.16 (7) and 77.45 (8)° with the benzene rings, which themselves form a dihedral angle of 54.34 (9)°. The crystal structure features O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, which together lead to the formation of two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded layers parallel to the (101) plane. In addition, π–π inter­actions also contribute to the crystal cohesion. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most significant contacts in the crystal packing are: H⋯H (47.5%), O⋯H/H⋯O (12.4%), N⋯H/H⋯N (6.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (27.6%) and C⋯C (4.6%).

The title compound, [Cu(HL)2(H2O)2] or [Cu(C4H4N3O2)2(H2O)2], is a mononuclear octa­hedral CuII complex based on 5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carb­oxy­lic acid (H2L). [Cu(HL)2(H2O)2] was synthesized by reaction of H2L with copper(II) nitrate hexa­hydrate (2:1 stoichiometric ratio) in water under ambient conditions to produce clear light-blue crystals. The central Cu atom exhibits an N2O4 coordination environment in an elongated octa­hedral geometry provided by two bidentate HL− anions in the equatorial plane and two water mol­ecules in the axial positions.

In the title compound, C25H25NO7S, the mol­ecular conformation is stabilized by intra­molecular O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which form S(6) and S(8) ring motifs, respectively. The mol­ecules are bent at the S atom with a C—SO2—NH—C torsion angle of −70.86 (11)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming mol­ecular layers parallel to the (100) plane. C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed between these layers.

In the title compound, C20H18N2S, the asymmetric unit comprises two similar mol­ecules (A and B). In mol­ecule A, the central thio­phene ring makes dihedral angles of 89.96 (12) and 57.39 (13)° with the 1H-pyrrole rings, which are bent at 83.22 (14)° relative to each other, and makes an angle of 85.98 (11)° with the phenyl ring. In mol­ecule B, the corresponding dihedral angles are 89.49 (13), 54.64 (12)°, 83.62 (14)° and 85.67 (11)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol­ecular pairs are bonded to each other by N—H⋯N inter­actions. N—H⋯π and C—H⋯π inter­actions further connect the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H (57.1% for mol­ecule A; 57.3% for mol­ecule B), C⋯H/H⋯C (30.7% for mol­ecules A and B) and S⋯H/H⋯S (6.2% for mol­ecule A; 6.4% for mol­ecule B) inter­actions are the most important contributors to the crystal packing.

In the title compound, C18H22O7, two hexane rings and an oxane ring are fused together. The two hexane rings tend toward a distorted boat conformation, while the tetra­hydro­furan and di­hydro­furan rings adopt envelope conformations. The oxane ring is puckered. The crystal structure features C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol­ecules into a three-dimensional network. According to a Hirshfeld surface study, H⋯H (60.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (35.3%) inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing.

In the title compound, (2-methyl­idene-1,2-di­hydro­pyridinium-κN)tris­(tetra­hydro­furan-κO)lithium, [Li(C6H6N)(C4H8O)3], the lithium ion adopts a distorted LiNO3 tetra­hedral coordination geometry and the 2-picolyl anion adopts its enamido form with the lithium ion lying close to the plane of the pyridine ring. A methyl­ene group of one of the thf ligands is disordered over two orientations. In the crystal, a weak C—H⋯O inter­action generates inversion dimers. A Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that H⋯H contacts dominate the packing (86%) followed by O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts, which contribute 3% and 10.4%, respectively.

In the title compound, C20H18O4, the dihedral angle between the 2H-chromen-2-one ring system and the phenyl ring is 89.12 (5)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate [010] double chains that are reinforced by weak aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions. The unit-cell packing can be described as a tilted herringbone motif. The H⋯H, H⋯O/O⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and C⋯C contacts contribute 46.7, 24.2, 16.7 and 7.6%, respectively, to its Hirshfeld surface.

In the title compound, C10H8N4O3·C3H7NO, the asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent mol­ecules A and B, each of which has one DMF solvate mol­ecule. Mol­ecules A and B both feature intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming S(6) ring motifs and consolidating the mol­ecular configuration. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect mol­ecules A and B, forming R22(8) ring motifs. Weak C—H⋯O inter­actions link the mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to the (overline{2}12) plane. The DMF solvent mol­ecules are also connected to the main mol­ecules (A and B) by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8702 (17) Å] between the layers also increase the stability of the mol­ecular structure in the third dimension. According to the Hirshfeld surface study, O⋯H/H⋯O inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing (27.5% for mol­ecule A and 25.1% for mol­ecule B).

The title compound, C16H11N2OF, is a member of the azo dye family. The dihedral angle subtended by the benzene ring and the naphthalene ring system measures 18.75 (7)°, indicating that the compound is not perfectly planar. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs between the imino and carbonyl groups. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked into inversion dimers by C—H⋯O inter­actions. Aromatic π–π stacking between the naphthalene ring systems lead to the formation of chains along [001]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was undertaken to investigate and qu­antify the inter­molecular inter­actions. In addition, energy frameworks were used to examine the cooperative effect of these inter­molecular inter­actions across the crystal, showing dispersion energy to be the most influential factor in the crystal organization of the compound.

The title com­pound, C13H11NO, adopts an E configuration about the C=C double bond. The pyrrole ring is inclined to the phenyl ring at an angle of 44.94 (8)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons parallel to (020) in zigzag C(7) chains along the a axis. These ribbons are connected via C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network. No significant π–π inter­actions are observed.

In the title salt, poly[aqua­[μ4-bis­(malonato)borato]sodium], {[Na(C6H4BO8)]·H2O}n or Na+·[B(C3H2O4)2]−·H2O, the sodium cation exhibits fivefold coordination by four carbonyl O atoms of the bis­(malonato)borate anions and a water O atom. The tetra­hedral B atom at the centre of the anion leads to the formation of a polymeric three-dimensional framework, which is consolidated by C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most significant contacts in the crystal packing are H⋯O/O⋯H (49.7%), Na⋯O/O⋯Na (16.1%), O⋯O (12.6%), H⋯H (10.7%) and C⋯O/O⋯C (7.3%).

In the title benzyl­ideneaniline Schiff base, C18H22N2O, the aromatic rings are inclined to each other by 46.01 (6)°, while the Car—N= C—Car torsion angle is 176.9 (1)°. In the crystal, the only identifiable directional inter­action is a weak C—H⋯π hydrogen bond, which generates inversion dimers that stack along the a-axis direction.

The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of three similar azo compounds are reported. Methyl 4-{2,2-di­chloro-1-[(E)-phenyl­diazen­yl]ethen­yl}benzoate, C16H12Cl2N2O2, (I), and methyl 4-{2,2-di­chloro-1-[(E)-(4-methyl­phen­yl)diazen­yl]ethen­yl}benzoate, C17H14Cl2N2O2, (II), crystallize in the space group P21/c with Z = 4, and methyl 4-{2,2-di­chloro-1-[(E)-(3,4-di­methyl­phen­yl)diazen­yl]ethen­yl}benzoate, C18H16Cl2N2O2, (III), in the space group Poverline{1} with Z = 2. In the crystal of (I), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming chains with C(6) motifs parallel to the b axis. Short inter­molecular Cl⋯O contacts of 2.8421 (16) Å and weak van der Waals inter­actions between these chains stabilize the crystal structure. In (II), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—Cl⋯π inter­actions, forming layers parallel to (010). Weak van der Waals inter­actions between these layers consolidate the mol­ecular packing. In (III), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π and C—Cl⋯π inter­actions forming chains parallel to [011]. Furthermore, these chains are connected by C—Cl⋯π inter­actions parallel to the a axis, forming (0overline{1}1) layers. The stability of the mol­ecular packing is ensured by van der Waals forces between these layers.

The title compound, C16H17N3O3, is racemic as it crystallizes in a centrosymmetric space group (Poverline{1}), although the trans disposition of substituents about the central C—C bond is established. The five- and six-membered rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 75.88 (8)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds form chains of mol­ecules extending along the c-axis direction that are connected by inversion-related pairs of O—H⋯N into ribbons. The ribbons are linked by C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (45.9%), H⋯N/N⋯H (23.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (16.2%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (12.3%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space were calculated to be 100.94 Å3 and 13.20%, showing that there is no large cavity in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicates that the stabilization is dominated by the electrostatic energy contributions in the title compound. Moreover, the DFT-optimized structure at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

The in­do­line portion of the title mol­ecule, C16H13NO2, is planar. In the crystal, a layer structure is generated by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π(ring), π-stacking and C=O⋯π(ring) inter­actions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (43.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (25.0%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (22.8%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space were calculated to be 120.52 Å3 and 9.64%, respectively, showing that there is no large cavity in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the stabilization is dominated by the dispersion energy contributions in the title compound. Moreover, the DFT-optimized structure at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state.

The title compound, C27H20N4O3S, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with Z = 4. The global shape of the mol­ecule is determined by the orientation of the substituents on the central 4H-1,2,4-triazole ring. The nitro­phenyl ring, phenyl ring, and naphthalene ring system are oriented at dihedral angles of 82.95 (17), 77.14 (18) and 89.46 (15)°, respectively, with respect to the triazole ring. The crystal packing features chain formation in the b-axis direction by S⋯O inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the highest contributions to surface contacts arise from contacts in which H atoms are involved.

In the crystal of the title compound, C6H9ClN2O, mol­ecular pairs form dimers with an R22(8) motif through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. These dimers are connect into ribbons parallel to the (100) plane with R44(10) motifs by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds along the c-axis direction. In addition, π–π [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.4635 (9) Å] and C—Cl⋯π inter­actions between the ribbons form layers parallel to the (100) plane. The three-dimensional consolidation of the crystal structure is also ensured by Cl⋯H and Cl⋯Cl inter­actions between these layers. According to a Hirshfeld surface study, H⋯H (43.3%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (22.1%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (18.7%) inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing.

The title compound [systematic name: 1-(2-nitro­phen­yl)pyrrole-2,5-dione], C10H6N2O4, crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P21/n) with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, which are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯O/O⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯H inter­actions, which contribute 54.7%, 15.2% and 15.6%, respectively. A DFT study was conducted using three different levels of theory [(B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p), wB97XD/Def2TZVPP and LC-wpbe/6–311(2 d,2p)] in order to determine the stability, structural and electronic properties of the title mol­ecule with a view to its potential applications and photochemical and copolymer properties.

The title compound, [CdBr2(C6H14N2O)], was synthesized upon complexation of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and cadmium(II) bromide tetra­hydrate at 303 K. It crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer, with one cadmium atom, two bromine atoms and one N,N'-bidentate 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligand in the asymmetric unit. The metal atom is six-coordinated and has a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the crystal, O⋯Cd inter­actions link the dimers into a polymeric double chain and inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form R22(6) ring motifs. Further C—H⋯Br and N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network. As the N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds are shorter than the C—H⋯Br inter­actions, they have a larger effect on the packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the largest contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (46.1%) and Br⋯H/H⋯Br (38.9%) inter­actions with smaller contributions from the O⋯H/H⋯O (4.7%), Br⋯Cd/Cd⋯Br (4.4%), O⋯Cd/Cd⋯O (3.5%), Br⋯Br (1.1%), Cd⋯H/H⋯Cd (0.9%), Br⋯O/O⋯Br (0.3%) and O⋯N/N⋯O (0.1%) contacts.

The title mol­ecule, [Fe2(C5H5)2(C23H17ClN2)]·C3H7NO, is twisted end to end and the central N/C/N unit is disordered. In the crystal, several C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions lead to the formation of layers, which are connected by further C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (60.2%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (27.0%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding, C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions and van der Waals inter­actions dominate the crystal packing.

The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of three similar compounds are reported. Methyl 4-[4-(di­fluoro­meth­oxy)phen­yl]-2,7,7-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa­hydro­quinoline-3-carboxyl­ate, (C21H23F2NO4), (I), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 8, while isopropyl 4-[4-(di­fluoro­meth­oxy)phen­yl]-2,6,6-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa­hydro­quinoline-3-carb­oxyl­ate, (C23H27F2NO4), (II) and tert-butyl 4-[4-(di­fluoro­meth­oxy)phen­yl]-2,6,6-trimethyl-5-oxo-1,4,5,6,7,8-hexa­hydro­quinoline-3-carboxyl­ate, (C24H29F2NO4), (III) crystallize in the ortho­rhom­bic space group Pbca with Z = 8. In the crystal structure of (I), mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming a tri-periodic network, while mol­ecules of (II) and (III) are linked by N—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming layers parallel to (002). The cohesion of the mol­ecular packing is ensured by van der Waals forces between these layers. In (I), the atoms of the 4-di­fluoro­meth­oxy­phenyl group are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.647 (3): 0.353 (3) ratio. In (III), the atoms of the dimethyl group attached to the cyclo­hexane ring, and the two carbon atoms of the cyclo­hexane ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.646 (3):0.354 (3) ratio.

In the title compound, C31H24N4O2, the quinoxaline units are distinctly non-planar and twisted end-to-end. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains extending along the a-axis direction. The chains are linked through π-stacking inter­actions between inversion-related quinoxaline moieties.

The title compound, C14H12N2O4, was obtained from 2-acetyl-6-amino­naphthalene through two-step reactions of acetyl­ation and nitration. The mol­ecule comprises the naphthalene ring system consisting of functional systems bearing a acetyl group (C-2), a nitro group (C-5), and an acetyl­amino group (C-6). In the crystal, the mol­ecules are assembled into two-dimensional sheet-like structures by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis illustrates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from O⋯H/H⋯O (43.7%), H⋯H (31.0%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (8.5%) contacts.

In the title compound, C21H15N5OS2, mol­ecular pairs are linked by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds along the c-axis direction and C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds along the b-axis direction, with R22(12) and R22(16) motifs, respectively, thus forming layers parallel to the (10overline{4}) plane. In addition, C=S⋯π and C≡N⋯π inter­actions between the layers ensure crystal cohesion. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions to the crystal packing are H⋯H (43.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (16.9%), N⋯H/H⋯N (11.3%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (10.9%) inter­actions.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C31H28N2O4S·C2H6O, contains a parent mol­ecule and a half mol­ecule of ethanol solvent. The main compound stabilizes its mol­ecular conformation by forming a ring with an R12(7) motif with the ethanol solvent mol­ecule. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by C—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C—H⋯π inter­actions also strengthen the mol­ecular packing.

In the crystal of the title compound, C18H14O10·2H2O, the arene rings of the biphenyl moiety are tilted at an angle of 24.3 (1)°, while the planes passing through the carboxyl groups are rotated at angles of 8.6 (1) and 7.7 (1)° out of the plane of the benzene ring to which they are attached. The crystal structure is essentially stabilized by O—H⋯O bonds. Here, the carboxyl groups of neighbouring host mol­ecules are connected by cyclic R22(8) synthons, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional network. The water mol­ecules in turn form helical supra­molecular strands running in the direction of the crystallographic c-axis (chain-like water clusters). The second H atom of each water mol­ecule provides a link to a meth­oxy O atom of the host mol­ecule. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed to qu­antify the contributions of the different inter­molecular inter­actions, indicating that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯O/O⋯H (37.0%), H⋯H (26.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (18.5%) and C⋯O/O⋯C (9.5%) inter­actions.

In the title mol­ecule, C21H23N3O3, the imidazolidine ring slightly deviates from planarity and the morpholine ring exhibits the chair conformation. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form helical chains of mol­ecules extending parallel to the c axis that are connected by C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.2%), H⋯C/C⋯H (22.6%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (20.5%) inter­actions. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space were calculated to be 236.78 Å3 and 12.71%, respectively. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicates that the stabilization is dominated by the nearly equal electrostatic and dispersion energy contributions. The DFT-optimized mol­ecular structure at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state. Moreover, the HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

In the ten-membered 1,3,4,6-tetra­hydro-2H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine ring system of the title compound, C17H15N5, the 1,2-di­hydro­pyridine ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.001 Å), while the 1,3-diazinane ring has a distorted twist-boat conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯N and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C—H⋯π inter­actions form layers parallel to the (100) plane. Thus, crystal-structure cohesion is ensured. According to a Hirshfeld surface study, H⋯H (40.4%), N⋯H/H⋯N (28.6%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (24.1%) inter­actions are the most important contributors to the crystal packing.

In the title compound, C17H12N2O, the quinoxaline moiety shows deviations of 0.0288 (7) to −0.0370 (7) Å from the mean plane (r.m.s. deviation of fitted atoms = 0.0223 Å). In the crystal, corrugated layers two mol­ecules thick are formed by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π-stacking inter­actions.

The quinoxaline moiety in the title mol­ecule, C13H13ClN2O3, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms = 0.033 Å). In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds plus slipped π-stacking and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions generate chains of mol­ecules extending along the b-axis direction. The chains are connected by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (37.6%), H⋯O/O⋯H (22.7%) and H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (13.1%) inter­actions.

A novel cationic complex, bromido­tetra­kis­[5-(prop-2-en-1-ylsulfan­yl)-1,3,4-thia­diazol-2-amine-κN3]copper(II) bromide, [CuBr](C5H7N3S2)4Br, was synthesized. The complex crystallizes with fourfold mol­ecular symmetry in the tetra­gonal space group P4/n. The CuII atom exhibits a square-pyramidal coord­ination geometry. The Cu atom is located centrally within the complex, being coordinated by four nitro­gen atoms from four AAT mol­ecules, while a bromine anion is located at the apex of the pyramid. The amino H atoms of AAT inter­act with bromine from the inner and outer spheres, forming a two-dimensional network in the [100] and [010] directions. Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that 33.7% of the inter­mol­ecular inter­actions are from H⋯H contacts, 21.2% are from S⋯H/H⋯S contacts, 13.4% are from S⋯S contacts and 11.0% are from C⋯H/H⋯C, while other contributions are from Br⋯H/H⋯Br and N⋯H/H⋯N contacts.

In the title compound, C20H17BrO5S, mol­ecules are connected by inter­molecular C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds with R22(10) ring motifs, forming ribbons along the b-axis direction. C—H⋯π inter­actions consolidate the ribbon structure while van der Waals forces between the ribbons ensure the cohesion of the crystal structure. According to a Hirshfeld surface analysis, H⋯H (40.5%), O⋯H/H⋯O (27.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (13.9%) and Br⋯H/H⋯Br (11.7%) inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing. The thio­phene ring and its adjacent di­carboxyl­ate group and the three adjacent carbon atoms of the central hexene ring to which they are attached were refined as disordered over two sets of sites having occupancies of 0.8378 (15) and 0.1622 (15). The thio­phene group is disordered by a rotation of 180° around one bond.

Carb­oxy­hydrazides are widely used in medicinal chemistry because of their medicinal properties and many drugs have been developed containing this functional group. A suitable inter­mediate to obtain potential hydrazide drug candidates is the title compound 5-hy­droxy­penta­nehydrazide, C5H12N2O2 (1). The aliphatic compound can react both via the hydroxyl and hydrazide moieties forming derivatives, which can inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalase-peroxidase (KatG) and consequently causes death of the pathogen. In this work, the hydrazide was obtained via a reaction of a lactone with hydrazine hydrate. The colourless prismatic single crystals belong to the ortho­rhom­bic space group Pca21. Regarding supra­molecular inter­actions, the compound shows classic medium to strong inter­molecular hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl and hydrazide groups. Besides, the three-dimensional packing also shows weak H⋯H and C⋯H contacts, as investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis (HS) and fingerprint plots (FP).

The title compound (C14H23N3S, common name: cis-jasmone 4-ethyl­thio­semicarbazone) was synthesized by the equimolar reaction of cis-jasmone and 4-ethyl­thio­semicarbazide in ethanol facilitated by acid catalysis. There is one crystallographically independent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit, which shows disorder of the terminal ethyl group of the jasmone carbon chain [site-occupancy ratio = 0.911 (5):0.089 (5)]. The thio­semicarbazone entity [N—N—C(=S)—N] is approximately planar, with the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the N/N/C/S/N atoms being 0.0331 (8) Å, while the maximum deviation of the mean plane through the five-membered ring of the jasmone fragment amounts to −0.0337 (8) Å. The dihedral angle between the two planes is 4.98 (7)°. The mol­ecule is not planar due to this structural feature and the sp3-hybridized atoms of the jasmone carbon chain. Additionally, one H⋯N intra­molecular inter­action is observed, with graph-set motif S(5). In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected through pairs of H⋯S inter­actions with R22(8) and R21(7) graph-set motifs into centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are further connected by H⋯N inter­actions with graph-set motif R22(12), which are related by an inversion centre, forming a mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbon parallel to the b-axis. The crystal structure and the supra­molecular assembly of the title compound are compared with four known cis-jasmone thio­semicarbazone derivatives (two crystalline modifications of the non-substituted form, the 4-methyl and the 4-phenyl derivatives). A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (70.7%), H⋯S/S⋯H (13.5%), H⋯C/C⋯H (8.8%), and H⋯N/N⋯H (6.6%) inter­faces (only the disordered atoms with the highest s.o.f. were considered for the evaluation).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C25H18N6·H2O, comproses two mol­ecules (I and II), together with a water mol­ecule. The terminal phenyl groups attached to the methyl groups of the mol­ecules I and II do not overlap completely, but are approximately perpendicular. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected by N—H⋯N, C—H⋯N, O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with each other directly and through water mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to the (001) plane. C—H⋯π inter­actions between these layers ensure the cohesion of the crystal structure. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H (39.1% for mol­ecule I; 40.0% for mol­ecule II), C⋯H/H⋯C (26.6% for mol­ecule I and 25.8% for mol­ecule II) and N⋯H/H⋯N (24.3% for mol­ecules I and II) inter­actions are the most important contributors to the crystal packing.

The title copper(II) complex, [Cu(C18H19N3O3)(C3H4N2)], consists of a tridentate ligand synthesized from l-leucine and azo­benzene-salicyl­aldehyde. One imidazole mol­ecule is additionally coordinated to the copper(II) ion in the equatorial plane. The crystal structure features N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (52.0%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (17.9%) contacts.

The title compound, C12H15N3O2S, adopts an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The propionate group adopts an anti­periplanar (ap) conformation. There are short intra­molecular N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O contacts, forming S(5) and S(6) ring motifs, respectively. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected into ribbons extending parallel to [010] by pairs of N—H⋯S inter­actions, forming rings with R22(8) graph-set motifs, and by pairs of C—H⋯S inter­actions, where rings with the graph-set motif R21(7) are observed. The O atom of the carbonyl group is disordered over two positions, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.27 (2):0.73 (2). The studied crystal consisted of two domains.

In the title compound, C24H21NO3S, the cyclopentene ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming ribbons along the a axis. Inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect these ribbons to each other, forming layers parallel to the (0overline{1}1) plane. The mol­ecular packing is strengthened by van der Waals inter­actions between the layers. The inter­molecular contacts were qu­anti­fied using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, revealing the relative contributions of the contacts to the crystal packing to be H⋯H 46.0%, C⋯H/H⋯C 21.1%, O⋯H/H⋯O 20.6% and S⋯H/H⋯S 9.0%.

In the title mol­ecule, C21H17N3O2, the five-membered ring is slightly ruffled and dihedral angles between the pendant six-membered rings and the central, five-membered ring vary between 50.78 (4) and 86.78 (10)°. The exocyclic nitro­gen lone pair is involved in conjugated π bonding to the five-membered ring. In the crystal, a layered structure is generated by O—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds plus C—H⋯π(ring) and weak π-stacking inter­actions.

The title compound, C12H10N2O3, was obtained by the de­acetyl­ation reaction of 1-(6-amino-5-nitro­naphthalen-2-yl)ethanone in a concentrated sulfuric acid methanol solution. The mol­ecule comprises a naphthalene ring system bearing an acetyl group (C-3), an amino group (C-7), and a nitro group (C-8). In the crystal, the mol­ecules are assembled into a two-dimensional network by N⋯H/H⋯N and O⋯H/H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. n–π and π–π stacking inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the three-dimensional crystal packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions are from O⋯H/H⋯O (34.9%), H⋯H (33.7%), and C⋯H/H⋯C (11.0%) contacts. The energies of the frontier mol­ecular orbitals were computed using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP-D3BJ/def2-TZVP level of theory and the LUMO–HOMO energy gap of the mol­ecule is 3.765 eV.

In the title compound, C15H13NO3S, the mol­ecular conformation is stable with the intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond forming a S(7) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are connected by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming C(8) chains running along the a-axis direction. Cohesion of the packing is provided by weak van der Waals inter­actions between the chains. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was undertaken to investigate and qu­antify the inter­molecular inter­actions. The thio­phene ring is disordered in a 0.9466 (17):0.0534 (17) ratio over two positions rotated by 180°.

The benzimidazole entity of the title mol­ecule, C17H21N5O, is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0262 Å). In the crystal, bifurcated C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link individual mol­ecules into layers extending parallel to the ac plane. Two weak C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions may also be effective in the stabilization of the crystal structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure reveals that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (57.9%), H⋯C/C⋯H (18.1%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (14.9%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the most dominant forces in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicate that the stabilization of the title compound is dominated via dispersion energy contributions. The mol­ecular structure optimized by density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined mol­ecular structure in the solid state.

In the title compound, C6H4BrF3N4O2, the oxa­diazole ring is essentially planar with a maximum deviation of 0.003 (2) Å. In the crystal, mol­ecular pairs are connected by N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with an R22(8) motif. The dimers are linked into layers parallel to the (10overline{4}) plane by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In addition, C—O⋯π and C—Br⋯π inter­actions connect the mol­ecules, forming a three-dimensional network. The F atoms of the tri­fluoro­methyl group are disordered over two sites in a 0.515 (6): 0.485 (6) ratio. The inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystal structure were investigated and qu­anti­fied using Hirshfeld surface analysis.

The reaction of copper(II) oxalate and hexa­methyl­ene­tetra­mine in a deep eutectic solvent made of urea and choline chloride produced crystals of penta­amine­copper(II) dichloride–urea (1/1), [Cu(NH3)5]Cl2·CO(NH2)2, which was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex contains discrete penta­amine­copper(II) units in a square-based pyramidal geometry. The overall structure of the multi-component crystal is dictated by hydrogen bonding between urea mol­ecules and amine H atoms with chloride anions.

The title mol­ecule, C18H26O4, consists of two symmetrical halves related by the inversion centre at the mid-point of the central –C—C– bond. The hexene ring adopts an envelope conformation. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected into dimers by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with R22(8) ring motifs, forming zigzag ribbons along the b-axis direction. According to a Hirshfeld surface analysis, H⋯H (68.2%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (25.9%) inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing. The contribution of some disordered solvent to the scattering was removed using the SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] in PLATON. The solvent contribution was not included in the reported mol­ecular weight and density.

In the title compound, C31H24N4O2, the di­hydro­quinoxaline units are both essentially planar with the dihedral angle between their mean planes being 64.82 (4)°. The attached phenyl rings differ significantly in their rotational orientations with respect to the di­hydro­quinoxaline planes. In the crystal, one set of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form chains along the b-axis direction, which are connected in pairs by a second set of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Two sets of π-stacking inter­actions and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions join the double chains into the final three-dimensional structure.

In the title compound, C19H17NO5S, the cyclo­hexene ring adopts nearly an envelope conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. In addition, C—H⋯π inter­actions connect the mol­ecules by forming layers parallel to the (010) plane. According to the Hirshfeld surface analysis, H⋯H (36.9%), O⋯H/H⋯O (31.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (18.9%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (7.9%) inter­actions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing.

Three new 1H-indole derivatives, namely, 2-(bromo­meth­yl)-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C16H14BrNO2S, (I), 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromo-5-meth­oxy­phen­yl)ethen­yl]-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C24H20BrNO3S, (II), and 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromo­phen­yl)ethen­yl]-3-methyl-1-(phenyl­sulfon­yl)-1H-indole, C23H18BrNO2S, (III), exhibit nearly orthogonal orientations of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. Such conformations are favourable for inter­molecular bonding involving sets of slipped π–π inter­actions between the indole systems and mutual C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds, with the generation of two-dimensional monoperiodic patterns. The latter are found in all three structures, in the form of supra­molecular columns with every pair of successive mol­ecules related by inversion. The crystal packing of the compounds is additionally stabilized by weaker slipped π–π inter­actions between the outer phenyl rings (in II and III) and by weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds. The structural significance of the different kinds of inter­actions agree with the results of a Hirshfeld surface analysis and the calculated inter­action energies. In particular, the largest inter­action energies (up to −60.8 kJ mol−1) are associated with pairing of anti­parallel indole systems, while the energetics of weak hydrogen bonds and phenyl π–π inter­actions are comparable and account for 13–34 kJ mol−1.
