ana Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 5-hydroxypentanehydrazide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-09 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). Full Article text

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).

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.

Each two CoII cations are linked by pairs of μ-1,1(O,O)-bridging 4-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands into dinuclear units that are located on centers of inversion.

ana 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

ana 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.

ana 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.
