si Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bromidotetrakis[5-(prop-2-en-1-ylsulfanyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-amine-κN3]copper(II) bromide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-03-26 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.

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). Full Article text
si Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of N-ethyl-2-{3-methyl-2-[(2Z)-pent-2-en-1-yl]cyclopent-2-en-1-ylidene}hydrazinecarbothioamide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-09 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).

si Synthesis, crystal structure and properties of the trigonal–bipyramidal complex tris(2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-11 Reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 2-methylpyridine N-oxide in a 1:3 ratio in n-butanol leads to the formation of crystals of tris(2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)bis(thiocyanato-κN)cobalt(II), [Co(NCS)2(C6H7NO)3]. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one CoII cation two thiocyanate anions and three crystallographically independent 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions. The CoII cations are trigonal–bipyramidally coordinated by two terminal N-bonding thiocyanate anions in the trans-positions and three 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands into discrete complexes. These complexes are linked by intermolecular C–H⋯S interactions into double chains that elongate in the c-axis direction. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements prove that all batches are always contaminated with an additional and unknown crystalline phase. Thermogravimetry and differential analysis of crystals selected by hand reveal that the title compound decomposes at about 229°C in an exothermic reaction. At about 113°C a small endothermic signal is observed that, according to differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements, is irreversible. PXRD measurements of the residue prove that a poorly crystalline and unknown phase has formed and thermomicroscopy indicates that some phase transition occurs that is accompanied with a color change of the title compound.

si Synthesis and crystal structures of N,2,4,6-tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate and N-isopropylidene-N,2,4,6-tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-26 Two 2,4,6-trimethylaniline-based trifuloromethanesulfonate (trifluoromethanesulfonate) salts were synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. N,2,4,6-Tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [C10H14NH2+][CF3O3S−] (1), was synthesized via methylation of 2,4,6-trimethylaniline. N-Isopropylidene-N,2,4,6-tetramethylanilinium trifluoromethanesulfonate, [C13H20N+][CF3O3S−] (2), was synthesized in a two-step reaction where the imine, N-isopropylidene-2,4,6-trimethylaniline, was first prepared via a dehydration reaction to form the Schiff base, followed by methylation using methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate to form the iminium ion. In compound 1, both hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions form the main intermolecular interactions. The primary interaction is a strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bond with the oxygen atoms of the trifluoromethanesulfonate anions bonded to the hydrogen atoms of the ammonium nitrogen atom to generate a one-dimensional chain. The [C10H14NH2+] cations form dimers where the benzene rings form a π–π interaction with a parallel-displaced geometry. The separation distance between the calculated centroids of the benzene rings is 3.9129 (8) Å, and the interplanar spacing and ring slippage between the dimers are 3.5156 (5) and 1.718 Å, respectively. For 2, the [C13H20N+] cations also form dimers as in 1, but with the benzene rings highly slipped. The distance between the calculated centroids of the benzene rings is 4.8937 (8) Å, and interplanar spacing and ring slippage are 3.3646 (5) and 3.553 Å, respectively. The major intermolecular interactions in 2 are instead a series of weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds [C⋯O distances of 3.1723 (17), 3.3789 (18), and 3.3789 (18) Å], an interaction virtually absent in the structure of 1. Fluorine atoms are not involved in strong directional interactions in either structure. Full Article text

si Synthesis and crystal structure of (NH4)[Ni3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-26 The title compound, ammonium trinickel(II) hydrogen arsenate arsenate dihydroxide, was synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. Its crystal structure is isotypic with that of K[Cu3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] and is characterized by pseudo-hexagonal (001) 2∞[Ni3As2O18/3(OH)6/3O1/1(OH)1/1]− layers formed from vertex- and edge-sharing [NiO4(OH)2] octahedra and [AsO3.5(OH)0.5] tetrahedra as the building units. The hydrogen atom of the OH group shows occupational disorder and was refined with a site occupation factor of 1/2, indicating the equal presence of [HAsO4]2– and [AsO4]3– groups. Strong asymmetric hydrogen bonds between symmetry-related (O,OH) groups of the arsenate units [O⋯O = 2.588 (18) Å] as well as hydrogen bonds accepted by these (O,OH) groups from OH groups bonded to the NiII atoms [O⋯O = 2.848 (12) Å] link adjacent layers. Additional consolidation of the packing is achieved through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the ammonium ion, which is sandwiched between adjacent layers [N⋯O = 2.930 (7) Å] although the H atoms could not be located in the present study. The presence of the pseudo-hexagonal 2∞[Ni3As2O18/3(OH)6/3O1/1(OH)1/1]− layers may be the reason for the systematic threefold twinning of (NH4)[Ni3(HAsO4)(AsO4)(OH)2] crystals. Significant overlaps of the reflections of the respective twin domains complicated the structure solution and refinement. Full Article text

In calixarenes 1 and 3, the cone conformations are additionally stabilized by intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, while in calixarene 2 intramolecular Br⋯Br interactions consolidate the 1,3-alternate molecular conformation. The dense crystal packing of the cone dialkyne 1 is a consequence of π–π, C—H⋯π and C—H⋯O interactions. In the crystal of the diazide 3, there are large channels extending parallel to the c axis, which are filled by highly disordered CH2Cl2 solvent molecules. Their contribution to the intensity data was removed by the SQUEEZE procedure that showed an accessible void volume of 585 Å3 where there is room for 4.5 CH2Cl2 solvent molecules per unit cell. Rigid molecules of the 1,3-alternate calixarene 2 form a columnar head-to-tail packing parallel to [010] via van der Waals interactions, and the resulting columns are held together by weak C—H⋯π contacts.

The results showed that the deprotonated 8-hydroxyquinoline (C9H6NO) coordinates with the PtII atom via the N and O atoms while the ethylene coordinates in the η2 manner and in the trans position compared to the coordinating N atom. The crystal packing is characterized by C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π, Cl⋯π and Pt⋯π interactions. Complex (I) showed high selective activity against Lu-1 and Hep-G2 cell lines with IC50 values of 0.8 and 0.4 µM, respectively, 54 and 33-fold more active than cisplatin. In particular, complex (I) is about 10 times less toxic to normal cells (HEK-293) than cancer cells Lu-1 and Hep-G2. Furthermore, the reaction of complex (I) with guanine at the N7 position was proposed and investigated using the DFT method. The results indicated that replacement of the ethylene ligand with guanine is thermodynamically more favorable than the Cl ligand and that the reaction occurs via two consecutive steps, namely the replacement of ethylene with H2O and the water with the guanine molecule.

si Structural characterization and comparative analysis of polymorphic forms of psilocin (4-hydroxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-14 The title compound, C12H16N2O, is a hydroxy-substituted monoamine alkaloid, and the primary metabolite of the naturally occurring psychedelic compound psilocybin. Crystalline forms of psilocin are known, but their characterization by single-crystal structure analysis is limited. Herein, two anhydrous polymorphic forms (I and II) of psilocin are described. The crystal structure of polymorphic Form I, in space group P21/c, was first reported in 1974. Along with the redetermination to modern standards and unambiguous location of the acidic H atom and variable-temperature single-crystal unit-cell determinations for Form I, the Form II polymorph of the title compound, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, is described for the first time. The psilocin molecules are present in both forms in their phenol–amine tautomeric forms (not resolved in the 1974 report). The molecules in Forms I and II, however, feature different conformations of their N,N-dimethyl ethylene substituent, with the N—C—C—C link in Form I being trans and in Form II being gauche, allowing the latter to bend back to the hydroxyl group of the same molecule, leading to the formation of a strong intramolecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl moiety and ethylamino-nitrogen group. In the extended structure of Form II, the molecules form one-dimensional strands through N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds from the indole group to the oxygen atom of the hydroxyl moiety of an adjacent molecule. Form II exhibits whole-molecule disorder due to a pseudo-mirror operation, with an occupancy ratio of 0.689 (5):0.311 (5) for the two components. In contrast, Form I does not feature intramolecular hydrogen bonds but forms a layered structure through intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Full Article text

si Crystal structure of a three-coordinate lithium complex with monodentate phenyloxazoline and hexamethyldisilylamide ligands By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-17 The reaction of lithium hexamethyldisilylamide, [Li{N(Si(CH3)3)2}] (LiHMDS), with 4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (Phox, C11H13NO) in hexane produced colourless crystals of bis(4,4-dimethyl-2-phenyl-2-oxazoline-κN)(hexamethyldisilylamido-κN)lithium, [Li(C6H18NSi2)(C11H13NO)2] or [Li{N(Si(CH3)3)2}(Phox)2] in high yield (89%). Despite the 1:1 proportion of the starting materials in the reaction mixture, the product formed with a 1:2 amide:oxazoline ratio. In the unit cell of the C2/c space group, the neutral molecules lie on twofold rotation axes coinciding with the Li—N(amide) bonds. The lithium(I) centre adopts a trigonal–planar coordination geometry with three nitrogen donor atoms, one from the HMDS anion and two from the oxazolines. All ligands are monodentate. In the phenyloxazoline units, the dihedral angle defined by the five-membered heterocyclic rings is 35.81 (5)°, while the phenyl substituents are approximately face-to-face, separated by 3.908 (5) Å. In the amide, the methyl groups assume a nearly eclipsed arrangement to minimize steric repulsion with the analogous substituents on the oxazoline rings. The non-covalent interactions in the solid-state structure of [Li{N(Si(CH3)3)2}(Phox)2] were assessed by Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. This new compound is attractive for catalysis due to its unique structural features. Full Article text

si Synthesis and crystal structure of the cluster (Et4N)[(Tp*)MoFe3S3(μ3-NSiMe3)(N3)3] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-31 The title compound, tetraethylammonium triazidotri-μ3-sulfido-[μ3-(trimethylsilyl)azanediido][tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)hydroborato]triiron(+2.33)molybdenum(IV), (C8H20N)[Fe3MoS3(C15H22BN6)(C3H9NSi)(N3)3] or (Et4N)[(Tp*)MoFe3S3(μ3-NSiMe3)(N3)3] [Tp* = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)hydroborate(1−)], crystallizes as needle-like black crystals in space group Poverline{1}. In this cluster, the Mo site is in a distorted octahedral coordination model, coordinating three N atoms on the Tp* ligand and three μ3-bridging S atoms in the core. The Fe sites are in a distorted tetrahedral coordination model, coordinating two μ3-bridging S atoms, one μ3-bridging N atom from Me3SiN2−, and another N atom on the terminal azide ligand. This type of heterometallic and heteroleptic single cubane cluster represents a typical example within the Mo–Fe–S cluster family, which may be a good reference for understanding the structure and function of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor. The residual electron density of disordered solvent molecules in the void space could not be reasonably modeled, thus the SQUEEZE [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] function was applied.

si The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of three new bromo-substituted 3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole derivatives By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-31 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.

si Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of a new polymorphic modification of diisothiocyanatotetrakis(4-methylpyridine)cobalt(II) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-31 The title compound, [Co(NCS)2(C6H7N)4] or Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4, was prepared by the reaction of Co(NCS)2 with 4-methylpyridine in water and is isotypic to one of the polymorphs of Ni(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4 [Kerr & Williams (1977). Acta Cryst. B33, 3589–3592 and Soldatov et al. (2004). Cryst. Growth Des. 4, 1185–1194]. Comparison of the experimental X-ray powder pattern with that calculated from the single-crystal data proves that a pure phase has been obtained. The asymmetric unit consists of one CoII cation, two crystallographically independent thiocyanate anions and four independent 4-methylpyridine ligands, all located in general positions. The CoII cations are sixfold coordinated to two terminally N-bonded thiocyanate anions and four 4-methylpyridine coligands within slightly distorted octahedra. Between the complexes, a number of weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S contacts are found. This structure represent a polymorphic modification of Co(NCS)2(4-methylpyridine)4 already reported in the CCD [Harris et al. (2003). NASA Technical Reports, 211890]. In contrast to this form, the crystal structure of the new polymorph shows a denser packing, indicating that it is thermodynamically stable at least at low temperatures. Thermogravimetric and differential thermoanalysis reveal that the title compound starts to decomposes at about 100°C and that the coligands are removed in separate steps without any sign of a polymorphic transition before decomposition.

The asymmetric unit of 1 is built up of one CoII cation, two NCSe− isoselenocyanate anions and three 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands, with all atoms located on general positions. The asymmetric unit of 2 consists of two cobalt cations, four isoselenocanate anions and eight 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions, because two crystallographically independent complexes are present. In compound 1, the CoII cations are fivefold coordinated to two terminally N-bonded anionic ligands and three 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands within a slightly distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination, forming discrete complexes with the O atoms occupying the equatorial sites. In compound 2, each of the two complexes is coordinated to two terminally N-bonded isoselenocyanate anions and four 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands within a slightly distorted cis-CoN2O4 octahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structures of 1 and 2, the complexes are linked by weak C—H⋯Se and C—H⋯O contacts. Powder X-ray diffraction reveals that neither of the two compounds were obtained as a pure crystalline phase. Full Article text

Its asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent NiII cations, of which one is located on a twofold rotational axis whereas the second occupies a center of inversion, two independent thiocyanate anions and two independent 4-methylpyridine coligands in general positions. Each NiII cation is octahedrally coordinated by two 4-methylpyridine coligands as well as two N- and two S-bonded thiocyanate anions. One of the cations shows an all-trans, the other a cis–cis–trans configuration. The metal centers are linked by pairs of μ-1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions into [101] chains. X-ray powder diffraction shows that a pure crystalline phase has been obtained and thermogravimetry coupled to differential thermoanalysis reveals that the title compound loses half of the 4-methylpyridine coligands and transforms into Ni(NCS)2(C6H7N). Nearly pure samples of this compound can be obtained by thermal annealing and a Rietveld refinement demonstrated that it is isotypic to its recently reported Cd analog [Neumann et al., (2020).

si Synthesis, crystal structure and photophysical properties of a dinuclear MnII complex with 6-(diethylamino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-06-28 A new quinoline derivative, namely, 6-(diethylamino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline, C24H23N3 (QP), and its MnII complex aqua-1κO-di-μ-chlorido-1:2κ4Cl:Cl-dichlorido-1κCl,2κCl-bis[6-(diethylamino)-4-phenyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)quinoline]-1κ2N1,N2;2κ2N1,N2-dimanganese(II), [Mn2Cl4(C24H23N3)2(H2O)] (MnQP), were synthesized. Their compositions have been determined with ESI-MS, IR, and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystal-structure determination of MnQP revealed a dinuclear complex with a central four-membered Mn2Cl2 ring. Both MnII atoms bind to an additional Cl atom and to two N atoms of the QP ligand. One MnII atom expands its coordination sphere with an extra water molecule, resulting in a distorted octahedral shape. The second MnII atom shows a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal shape. The UV–vis absorption and emission spectra of the examined compounds were studied. Furthermore, when investigating the aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties, it was found that the fluorescent color changes from blue to green and eventually becomes yellow as the fraction of water in the THF/water mixture increases from 0% to 99%. In particular, these color and intensity changes are most pronounced at a water fraction of 60%. The crystal structure contains disordered solvent molecules, which could not be modeled. The SQUEEZE procedure [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18] was used to obtain information on the type and quantity of solvent molecules, which resulted in 44 electrons in a void volume of 274 Å3, corresponding to approximately 1.7 molecules of ethanol in the unit cell. These ethanol molecules are not considered in the given chemical formula and other crystal data. Full Article text

In the structure, the [Th(NO3)6]2− anions display an icosahedral coordination geometry and are connected by LH+ cations through C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The LH+ cations interact via N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

si Crystal structures of four thioglycosides involving carbamimidothioate groups By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-09 The compounds 2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-glucopyranosyl N'-cyano-N-phenylcarbamimidothioate (C22H25N3O9S, 5a), 2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N'-cyano-N-phenylcarbamimidothioate, (C22H25N3O9S, 5b), 2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N'-cyano-N-methylcarbamimidothioate (C17H23N3O9S, 5c), and 2',3',4',6'-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-galactopyranosyl N'-cyano-N-p-tolylcarbamimidothioate (C23H27N3O9S, 5d) all crystallize in P212121 with Z = 4. For all four structures, the configuration across the central (formal) C=N(CN) double bond of the carbamimidothioate group is Z. The torsion angles C5—O1—C1—S (standard sugar numbering) are all close to 180°, confirming the β position of the substituent. Compound 5b involves an intramolecular hydrogen bond N—H⋯O1; in 5c this contact is the weaker branch of a three-centre interaction, whereas in 5a and 5d the H⋯O distances are much longer and do not represent significant interactions. The C—N bond lengths at the central carbon atom of the carbamimidothioate group are almost equal. All C—O—C=O torsion angles of the acetyl groups correspond to a synperiplanar geometry, but otherwise all four molecules display a high degree of conformational flexibility, with many widely differing torsion angles for equivalent groups. In the crystal packing, 5a, 5c and 5d form layer structures involving the classical hydrogen bond N—H⋯Ncyano and a variety of ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds C—H⋯O or C—H⋯S. The packing of 5b is almost featureless and involves a large number of borderline ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds. In an appendix, a potted history of wavelength preferences for structure determination is presented and it is recommended that, even for small organic crystals in non-centrosymmetric space groups, the use of Mo radiation should be considered.

si Crystal structure determination and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-acetyl-N-3-methoxyphenyl and N-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-phenylsulfonyl derivatives of N-[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-09 Two new [1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine derivatives, namely, N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-{[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methyl}acetamide, C24H22N2O4S, (I), and N-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-{[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methyl}benzenesulfonamide, C29H26N2O6S2, (II), reveal a nearly orthogonal orientation of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. The sulfonyl moieties adopt the anti-periplanar conformation. For both compounds, the crystal packing is dominated by C—H⋯O bonding [C⋯O = 3.312 (4)–3.788 (8) Å], with the structure of II exhibiting a larger number, but weaker bonds of this type. Slipped π–π interactions of antiparallel indole systems are specific for I, whereas the structure of II delivers two kinds of C—H⋯π interactions at both axial sides of the indole moiety. These findings agree with the results of Hirshfeld surface analysis. The primary contributions to the surface areas are associated with the contacts involving H atoms. Although II manifests a larger fraction of the O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (25.8 versus 22.4%), most of them are relatively distal and agree with the corresponding van der Waals separations. Full Article text
si Synthesis, molecular and crystal structures of 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzonitrile, ethyl 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzoate, and diethyl 4,4'-(diazene-1,2-diyl)bis(3,5-difluorobenzoate) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-19 The crystal structures of two intermediates, 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzonitrile, C7H4F2N2 (I), and ethyl 4-amino-3,5-difluorobenzoate, C9H9F2NO2 (II), along with a visible-light-responsive azobenzene derivative, diethyl 4,4'-(diazene-1,2-diyl)bis(3,5-difluorobenzoate), C18H14F4N2O4 (III), obtained by four-step synthetic procedure, were studied using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecules of I and II demonstrate the quinoid character of phenyl rings accompanied by the distortion of bond angles related to the presence of fluorine substituents in the 3 and 5 (ortho) positions. In the crystals of I and II, the molecules are connected by N—H⋯N, N—H⋯F and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, C—H⋯F short contacts, and π-stacking interactions. In crystal of III, only stacking interactions between the molecules are found. Full Article text
