The title compound, [Co(C18H37N2)2(NCS)4], consists of a cobalt(II) ion positioned on the origin of the triclinic unit cell. It is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-oriented 1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabi­cyclo­[2.2.2]octane (DABCO+) cations, which carry n-dodecyl chains at the non-coordinating N atoms. The distorted octa­hedral coordination environment of the CoII ion is completed through four N atoms of iso­thio­cyanate ions, which are arranged within the equatorial plane. Non-classical hydrogen bonding of the types C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S between the filamentous mol­ecules lead to the formation of layers parallel to (001).

In the title compound, C16H21N3O4, the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, with the imidazole substituent in an axial orientation [dihedral angle between ring planes = 82.9 (6)°]. In the crystal structure, pairs of N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds with graph-set notation R22(14) connect the mol­ecules into chains running along the c-axis direction.

The title compound, [Bi(C9H6NS2)3], was prepared by reacting BiCl3 and 2-mercapto-4-phenyl­thia­zole (LH) at room temperature in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:4. The mol­ecular structure reveals a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment around the BiIII atom. Two of the three monoanionic ligands L− coordinate in an N,S-bidentate mode, while one shows a monodentate mode through an S atom. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal.

In the title mol­ecule, C18H17FO5, the conformation about the C=C bond of the central enone group is trans. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 13.08 (3)°. The hy­droxy group attached to the benzene ring is involved in an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [001].

The title compound, C25H22N2O2Se, crystallizes in the space group P21/c with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The compound was synthesized by the addition of phenyl­selenyl bromide to a cyanamide. The phenyl­selenyl portion and the cyano group, as well as the ketone functional group in the cyclo­hexa-2,5-dien-1-one portion of the structure, are disordered, with occupancy factors of 0.555 (14) and 0.445 (14).

The structure of the title salt, C6H10N22+·2C7H7O3S−, consists of a unique benzene-1,2-diaminium dication charge balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent 4-methyl­benzene-1-sulfonate anions. The cations and anions are inter­linked by several N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C19H13IO2, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the pendant iodo­phenyl ring is 72.48 (11)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions and I⋯O [3.293 (2) Å] halogen bonds are observed, which combine to generate a herringbone packing motif.

The title compound, C20H18N4O2, known as bis­pyrazolone, was crystallized from dimethyl sulfoxide. The structure has ortho­rhom­bic (Pbca) symmetry at 150 K, and displays both intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen bonding through C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O contacts, respectively. None of the phenyl and pyrazolone rings in the mol­ecule are coplanar. The dihedral angle between the pyrazolone rings is 66.18 (5)°.

The title hemihydrate, C12H9N5·0.5H2O, was isolated from the condensation reaction of quinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole. The Schiff base mol­ecule adopts an E configuration about the C=N bond and is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the 1,2,4-triazole ring of 12.2 (1)°. In the crystal, one water mol­ecule bridges two Schiff base mol­ecules via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The Schiff base mol­ecules are inter­connected by π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.7486 (7) and 3.9003 (7) Å] into columns along [1overline{1}0].

The title carbonate hydrate, Cs2Mg4(CO3)5·10H2O, was crystallized at room temperature out of aqueous solutions containing caesium bicarbonate and magnesium nitrate. Its monoclinic crystal structure (P21/n) consists of double chains of composition 1∞[Mg(H2O)2/1(CO3)3/3], isolated [Mg(H2O)(CO3)2]2– units, two crystallographically distinct Cs+ ions and a free water mol­ecule. The crystal under investigation was twinned by reticular pseudomerohedry.

The title naphthalene derivative, C24H20O2, features 4-methy­oxy-substituted benzene rings in the 1 and 4 positions of the naphthalene ring system. There are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules (A and B) in asymmetric unit. The independent mol­ecules have very similar conformations in which the naphthalene ring systems are only slightly bent, exhibiting dihedral angles between the constituent benzene rings of 3.76 (15) and 3.39 (15)° for A and B, respectively. The pendent 4-methyoxybenzene rings are splayed out of the plane through the naphthalene ring system to which they are connected [range of dihedral angles = 59.63 (13) to 67.09 (13)°]. In the crystal, the mol­ecular packing is consolidated by inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions, leading to supra­molecular chains along the b axis. The chains assemble without directional inter­actions between them.

The tricyclic core in the title compound, C26H34O4Si2, shows disorder of the furan ring and deviates slightly from planarity, with the largest displacement from the least-squares plane [0.166 (2) Å] for the major disordered part of the methine C atom. To this C atom the likewise disordered vinyl group is attached, lying nearly perpendicular to the tricyclic core. In the crystal, mutual C—H⋯π inter­actions between the methine group of the furan ring and the central ring of the tricyclic core of an adjacent mol­ecule lead to inversion-related dimers.

In the extended structure of the title mol­ecular salt, C6H9N2+·C7H7O3S−, the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate [010] chains.

The relative stereo- and regiochemistry of the racemic title compound, C25H19NO7, were established from the crystal structure. The fused benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 77.3 (1) and 60.3 (1)° with the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 76.4 (1)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to (100). Within these layers, there are weak π–π stacking inter­actions with a ring centroid–ring centroid distance of 3.555 (1) Å.

The title salt, (PMIM)2[Ni(P2S8)2] (PMIM = 3-methyl-1-propyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium, C7H13N2+), consists of a nickel–thio­phosphate anion charge-balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent PMIM cations. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The structure exhibits the known [Ni(P2S8)2]2− anion with two unique imidazolium cations in the asymmetric unit. Whereas one PMIM cation is well ordered, the other is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancies of 0.798 (2) and 0.202 (2). The salt was prepared directly from the elements in the ionic liquid [PMIM]CF3SO3. Whereas one of the PMIM cations is well behaved (it does not exhibit disorder even in the propyl side chain), the other is found in two overlapping positions. The refined occupancies for the two orientations are roughly 80:20. Here, too, there appears to be little disorder in the propyl arm.

In the title compound, C19H18O2, the pyran ring is in a half-chair conformation. The fused ring system comprising the benzene and cyclo­hexene rings is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.053 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 27.95 (6)° with the other benzene ring. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into chains propagating along [001].

In the title compound, C14H11ClN2O2S, the dihedral angle between the pyrrolo­[1,2-c]pyrimidine ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.008 Å) and the benzene ring is 80.2 (9)°. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of C—H⋯O inter­actions generate R22(16) loops. Several aromatic π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyrrolo­[1,2-c]pyrimidine rings, as well as separately between the pyrrolo and pyrimidine groups [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.5758 (14) Å], help to consolidate the packing.

In the title compound, C10H13N5, the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation with the exocyclic N—C bond in an axial orientation, and the dihedral angle between the mean planes of piperidine and pyrimidine rings is 49.57 (11)°. A short intra­molecular C—H⋯N contact generates an S(7) ring. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into (100) sheets and a weak aromatic π-π stacking inter­action is observed [centroid–centroid separation = 3.5559 (11) Å] between inversion-related pyrimidine rings.

The reaction of ligand 5,7-di­hydro-1H,3H-dithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-e]pyrazine (L) with CuI lead to the formation of a three-dimensional coordination polymer, incorporating the well known [CuxIx]n staircase motif (x = 4). These polymer [Cu4I4]n chains are linked via the N and S atoms of the ligand to form the three-dimensional coordination polymer poly[(μ4-5,7-di­hydro-1H,3H-dithieno[3,4-b:3',4'-e]pyrazine-κ4N:N':S:S')tetra-μ3-iodido-tetra­copper], [Cu4I4(C8H8N2S2)]n (I). The asymmetric unit is composed of half a ligand mol­ecule, with the pyrazine ring located about a center of symmetry, and two independent copper(I) atoms and two independent I− ions forming the staircase motif via centers of inversion symmetry. The framework is consolidated by C—H⋯I hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, C26H22O6, is formed as the major product from the reaction between syn-1,2-bis­(pinacolatoboron)-1,2-bis­(4-methyl­carb­oxy­phen­yl)ethene and excess methyl 4-iodo­benzoate in basic DMSO using a palladium catalyst at 80°C via Suzuki coupling followed by protodeboronation. Crystals were grown by slow evaporation of a hexa­nes solution at room temperature.

In the title compound, C16H19N3O2Si, the dihedral angle between the coumarin ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.031 Å) and the triazole ring is 73.81 (8)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into [010] chains by weak C—H⋯O inter­actions.

In the crystal of the title compound, C6H6F8O4, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the hy­droxy groups connect the mol­ecules, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (100). These hydrogen-bonding inter­actions appear to drive the O—C—C—O torsion angles into a gauche–trans–trans series of conformations along the backbone of the mol­ecule.

The title hepta­nuclear alkoxido(oxido)vanadium(V) oxide cluster complex, [V7(C10H19O)O17(C18H24N2)3]·CH3CN, was obtained by the reaction of [V8O20(C18H24N2)4] with 4-tert-butyl­cyclo­hexa­nol (mixture of cis and trans) in a mixed CHCl3/CH3CN solvent. The complex has a V7O18N6 core with approximately Cs symmetry, which is composed of two VO4 tetra­hedra, two VO6 octa­hedra and three VO4N2 octa­hedra. In the crystal, these complexes are linked together by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bi­pyridine ligand and the V7O18N6 core, forming a one-dimensional network along the c-axis direction. Besides the complex, the asymmetric unit contains one CH3CN solvent mol­ecule. The contribution of other disordered solvent mol­ecules to the scattering was removed using the SQUEEZE option in PLATON [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. The unknown solvent mol­ecules are not considered in the chemical formula and other crystal data.

The reaction of ligand 3,4,8,10,11,13-hexa­hydro-1H,6H-bis­([1,4]di­thio­cino)[6,7-b:6',7'-e]pyrazine (L) with CuI led to the formation of a two-dimensional coordination polymer, incorporating a [Cu2I2] motif. These units are linked via the four S atoms of the ligand to form the title two-dimensional coordination poly­mer, poly[[μ4-3,4,8,10,11,13-hexa­hydro-1H,6H-bis­([1,4]di­thio­cino)[6,7-b:6',7'-e]pyrazine]di-μ-iodido-dicopper(I)], [Cu2I2(C12H16N2S4)]n, (I). The asymmetric unit is composed of a ligand mol­ecule, two copper(I) atoms and two I− ions. Both copper(I) atoms are fourfold S2I2 coordinate with almost regular trigonal-pyramidal environments. In the crystal, the layers, lying parallel to (102), are linked by C—H⋯I hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular framework.

The crystal structure of (NH4)2V3O8 has been reported twice using single-crystal X-ray data [Theobald et al. (1984). J. Phys. Chem. Solids, 45, 581–587; Range et al. (1988). Z. Naturforsch. Teil B, 43, 309–317]. In both cases, the orientation of the ammonium cation in the asymmetric unit was poorly defined: in Theobald's study, the shape and dimensions were constrained for NH4+, while in Range's study, H atoms were not included. In the present study, we collected a highly redundant data set for this ternary oxide, at 0.61 Å resolution, using Ag Kα radiation. These accurate data reveal that the NH4+ cation is disordered by rotation around a non-crystallographic axis. The rotation axis coincides with one N—H bond lying in the mirror m symmetry element of space-group type P4bm, and the remaining H sites were modelled over two disordered positions, with equal occupancy. It therefore follows that the NH4+ cations filling the space available in the (001) layered structure formed by (V3O8)2– ions do not form strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the mixed-valent oxidovanadate(IV,V) anions. This feature could have consequences for the Li-ion inter­calation properties of this material, which is used as a cathode for supercapacitors.

In the title compound, C20H21NO, the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring is 47.5 (1)° and the piperidine ring adopts a chair conformation. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions into dimers with the mol­ecules related by twofold symmetry.

The title compound, C52H40N2, is disposed about a centre of inversion and the conformation about the imine bond [1.268 (3) Å] is E. The terminal benzene ring is approximately perpendicular to the central 1,4-di­aza­butadiene mean plane, forming a dihedral angle of 81.2 (3)°. Weak C—H⋯π and π–π [inter-centroid distance = 4.021 (5) Å] inter­actions help to consolidate the packing.

The title Schiff base compound, C13H9ClN4O5·0.5CH3CN, crystallizes as an aceto­nitrile hemisolvate; the solvent mol­ecule being located on a twofold rotation axis. The mol­ecule is nearly planar, with a dihedral angle between the two benzene rings of 3.7 (2)°. The configuration about the C=N bond is E, and there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯Onitro hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to (10overline{1}). The layers are linked by C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular framework. Within the framework there are offset π–π stacking inter­actions [inter­centroid distance = 3.833 (2) Å] present involving inversion-related mol­ecules. The DFT study shows that the HOMO and LUMO are localized in the plane extending from the phenol ring to the 2,4-di­nitro­benzene ring, and the HOMO–LUMO gap is found to be 0.13061 a.u.

This work presents the synthesis and structural characterization of [4-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)phen­oxy]phthalo­nitrile, a phthalo­nitrile derivative carrying a benzimidazole moiety. The compound crystallizes as its dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate, C21H12N4O·(CH3)2SO. The dihedral angle between the two fused rings in the heterocyclic ring system is 2.11 (1)°, while the phenyl ring attached to the imidazole moiety is inclined by 20.7 (1)° to the latter. In the crystal structure, adjacent mol­ecules are connected by pairs of weak inter­molecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with R21(7) graph-set motifs are also formed between the organic mol­ecule and the disordered dimethyl sulfoxide solvent [occupancy ratio of 0.623 (5):0.377 (5) for the two sites of the sulfur atom]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots were used to investigate the inter­molecular inter­actions in the crystalline state.

The mol­ecule of the title Schiff base compound, C14H13N3O3·H2O, displays a trans configuration with respect to the C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the benzene and pyridine rings is 29.63 (7)°. The crystal structure features inter­molecular N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, leading to the formation of a supramolecular framework. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (37.0%), O⋯H/H⋯O (23.7%)), C⋯H/H⋯C (17.6%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (11.9%) inter­actions. The title compound has also been characterized by frontier mol­ecular orbital analysis.

In the title bis­chalcone, C17H12Br2O, the olefinic double bonds are almost coplanar with their attached 4-bromo­phenyl rings [torsion angles = −10.2 (4) and −6.2 (4)°], while the carbonyl double bond is in an s-trans conformation with with respect to one of the C=C bonds and an s-cis conformation with respect to the other [C=C—C=O = 160.7 (3) and −15.2 (4)°, respectively]. The dihedral angle between the 4-bromo­phenyl rings is 51.56 (2)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked into a zigzag chain propagating along [001] by weak C—H⋯π inter­actions. The conformations of related bis­chalcones are surveyed and a Hirshfeld surface analysis is used to investigate and qu­antify the inter­molecular contacts.

The title compound, C15H15NO2, is a Schiff base that exists in the keto–enamine tautomeric form and adopts a Z configuration. The mol­ecule is almost planar, with the two phenyl rings twisted relative to each other by 9.60 (18)°. There is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond present forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent mol­ecules into inversion dimers with an R22(18) ring motif. The dimers are linked by very weak π–π inter­actions, forming layers parallel to (overline{2}01). Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the mol­ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were used to analyse the inter­molecular inter­actions, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.2%), C⋯H/H⋯C (22.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (13.6%) inter­actions.

The title compounds, C24H22O6 (I) and C24H22O6 (II), each crystallize with half a mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The whole mol­ecule of compound (I) is generated by twofold rotation symmetry, the twofold axis bis­ecting the central benzene ring. The whole mol­ecule of compound (II) is generated by inversion symmetry, the central benzene ring being located on an inversion center. In (I), the outer benzene rings are inclined to each other by 59.96 (10)° and by 36.74 (9)° to the central benzene ring. The corresponding dihedral angles in (II) are 0.0 and 89.87 (12)°. In the crystal of (I), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π inter­actions, forming ribbons propagating along the [10overline{1}] direction. In the crystal of (II), mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra­molecular framework. The Hirshfeld surface analyses indicate that for both compounds the H⋯H contacts are the most significant, followed by O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts.

The title compound, C14H12N2O4, is a Schiff base that exists in the keto–enamine tautomeric form and adopts a Z configuration. The mol­ecule is almost planar, the rings making a dihedral angle of 4.99 (7)°. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, inversion-related mol­ecules are linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming dimers with an R22(18) ring motif. The dimers are linked by pairs of C—H⋯O contacts with an R22(10) ring motif, forming ribbons extended along the [2overline{1}0] direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the mol­ecular electrostatic potential surfaces were used to analyse the inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal, indicating that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (33.9%), O⋯H/H⋯O (29.8%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (17.3%) inter­actions.

The title compound, C15H13BrO2S, comprises three different substituents bound to a central (and chiral) methine-C atom, i.e. (4-bromo­phen­yl)sulfanyl, benzaldehyde and meth­oxy residues: crystal symmetry generates a racemic mixture. A twist in the mol­ecule is evident about the methine-C—C(carbon­yl) bond as evidenced by the O—C—C—O torsion angle of −20.8 (7)°. The dihedral angle between the bromo­benzene and phenyl rings is 43.2 (2)°, with the former disposed to lie over the oxygen atoms. The most prominent feature of the packing is the formation of helical supra­molecular chains as a result of methyl- and methine-C—H⋯O(carbon­yl) inter­actions. The chains assemble into a three-dimensional architecture without directional inter­actions between them. The nature of the weak points of contacts has been probed by a combination of Hirshfeld surface analysis, non-covalent inter­action plots and inter­action energy calculations. These point to the importance of weaker H⋯H and C—H⋯C inter­actions in the consolidation of the structure.

The crystal structure of the title mol­ecular complex, [Ag2{VO2F2}2(C13H17N3O2)4]·4H2O, supported by the heterofunctional ligand tr-ad-COOH [1-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)-3-carb­oxy­adamantane] is reported. Four 1,2,4-triazole groups of the ligand link two AgI atoms, as well as AgI and VV centres, forming the heterobimetallic coordination cluster {AgI2(VVO2F2)2(tr)4}. VV exists as a vanadium oxofluoride anion and possesses a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environment [VO2F2N]. A carb­oxy­lic acid functional group of the ligand stays in a neutral form and is involved in hydrogen bonding with solvent water mol­ecules and VO2F2− ions of adjacent mol­ecules. The extended hydrogen-bonding network is responsible for the crystal packing in the structure.

In the title compound, C61H15ClN2O3, the heterocyclic ring adopts an envelope conformation, folded across the N⋯N line, with the 2,5-di­meth­oxy­phenyl unit occupying a quasi-axial site. There are two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in the structure: one hydrogen bond links mol­ecules related by a 41 screw axis to form a C(6) chain, and the other links inversion-related pairs of mol­ecules to form an R22(8) ring. The ring motif links all of the chains into a continuous three-dimensional framework structure. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C14H14O6, a monomeric compound of poly(butyl­ene 2,5-furandi­carboxyl­ate), consists of one half-mol­ecule, the whole all-trans mol­ecule being generated by an inversion centre. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are inter­connected via C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming a mol­ecular sheet parallel to (10overline{2}). The mol­ecular sheets are further linked by C—H⋯π inter­actions.

The title binuclear CoIII complex, [Co2(C9H8BrNOS)2(C18H16Br2N2O2S2)]·C3H7NO, with a Schiff base ligand formed in situ from cyste­amine (2-amino­ethane­thiol) and 5-bromo­salicyl­aldehyde crystallizes in the space group P21. It was found that during the synthesis the ligand undergoes spontaneous oxidation, forming the new ligand H2L' having an S—S bond. Thus, the asymmetric unit consists of one Co2(L)2(L') mol­ecule and one DMF solvent mol­ecule. Each CoIII ion has a slightly distorted octa­hedral S2N2O2 coordination geometry. In the crystal, the components are linked into a three-dimensional network by several S⋯ Br, C⋯ Br, C—H⋯Br, short S⋯C (essentially shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii for the atoms involved) contacts as well by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

The title compound (systematic name: bis­{2-[4-(acet­yloxy)-1H-indol-3-yl]ethan-1-aminium} but-2-enedioate), 2C14H19N2O2+·C4H2O42−, has a single protonated psilacetin cation and one half of a fumarate dianion in the asymmetric unit. There are N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the ammonium H atoms and the fumarate O atoms, as well as N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the indole H atoms and the fumarate O atoms. The hydrogen bonds hold the ions together in infinite one-dimensional chains along [111].

The title benzo­furan derivatives 2-amino-5-hy­droxy-4-(4-nitro­phen­yl)benzo­furan-3-carboxyl­ate (BF1), C19H18N2O6, and 2-meth­oxy­ethyl 2-amino-5-hy­droxy-4-(4-nitro­phen­yl)benzo­furan-3-carboxyl­ate (BF2), C18H16N2O7, recently attracted attention because of their promising anti­tumoral activity. BF1 crystallizes in the space group Poverline{1}. BF2 in the space group P21/c. The nitro­phenyl group is inclined to benzo­furan moiety with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 69.2 (2)° in BF1 and 60.20 (6)° in BF2. A common feature in the mol­ecular structures of BF1 and BF2 is the intra­molecular N—H⋯Ocarbon­yl hydrogen bond. In the crystal of BF1, the mol­ecules are linked head-to-tail into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding pattern along the a-axis direction. In BF2, pairs of head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded chains of mol­ecules along the b-axis direction are linked by O—H⋯Ometh­oxy hydrogen bonds. In BF1, the butyl group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.557 (13) and 0.443 (13).

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C27H37NO3, was prepared by [3 + 2] 1,3-dipolar cyclo­addition of 4-n-octyl­phenyl­nitrile oxide and 4-tert-but­oxy­styrene, the latter compound being a very useful inter­mediate to the synthesis of liquid-crystalline materials. In the mol­ecule, the benzene rings of the n-octyloxyphenyl and tert-but­oxy­phenyl groups form dihedral angles of 2.83 (7) and 85.49 (3)°, respectively, with the mean plane of the isoxazoline ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen inter­actions into chains running parallel to the b axis.

In the title quinoline derivative, C14H14ClNO3, there is an intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) graph-set motif. The mol­ecule is essentially planar with the mean plane of the ethyl acetate group making a dihedral angle of 5.02 (3)° with the ethyl 6-chloro-2-eth­oxy­quinoline mean plane. In the crystal, offset π–π inter­actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.4731 (14) Å link inversion-related mol­ecules into columns along the c-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that H⋯H contacts make the largest contribution (50.8%) to the Hirshfeld surface.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ni(C52H34Cl4N4O4)]·CH2Cl2, consists of two discrete complexes, which show significant differences in the conformation of the side chain. Each NiII cation is coordinated by four nitro­gen atoms of a porphyrin mol­ecule within a square-planar coordination environment. Weak intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O inter­actions stabilize the mol­ecular conformation. In the crystal structure, discrete complexes are linked by C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. In addition, the two unique di­chloro­methane solvate mol­ecules (one being disordered) are hydrogen-bonded to the Cl atoms of the chloro­phenyl groups of the porphyrin mol­ecules, thus stabilizing the three-dimensional arrangement. The crystal exhibits pseudo-ortho­rhom­bic metrics, but structure refinements clearly show that the crystal system is monoclinic and that the crystal is twinned by pseudo-merohedry.

The crystal structure of title salt, C22H46N42+·2NO3−·2H2O, has been determined using synchrotron radiation at 220 K. The structure determination reveals that protonation has occurred at diagonally opposite amine N atoms. The asymmetric unit contains half a centrosymmetric dication, one nitrate anion and one water mol­ecule. The mol­ecular dication, C22H46N42+, together with the nitrate anion and hydrate water mol­ecule are involved in an extensive range of hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecule is stabilized, as is the conformation of the dication, by forming inter­molecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯O, together with intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(NCS)2(C12H9NO)4], consists of an FeII ion that is located on a centre of inversion, as well as two 4-benzoyl­pyridine ligands and one thio­cyanate anion in general positions. The FeII ions are coordinated by two N-terminal-bonded thio­cyanate anions and four 4-benzoyl­pyridine ligands into discrete complexes with a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry. These complexes are further linked by weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains running along the c-axis direction. Upon heating, this complex loses half of the 4-benzoyl­pyridine ligands and transforms into a compound with the composition Fe(NCS)2(4-benzoyl­pyridine)2, that might be isotypic to the corresponding MnII compound and for which the structure is unknown.

In the title compound, the asymmetric unit comprises an N,N,N-trimethyl-1-(4-vinyl­phen­yl)methanaminium cation and a 4-vinyl­benzene­sulfonate anion, C12H18N+·C8H7O3S−. The salt has a polymerizable vinyl group attached to both the cation and the anion. The methanaminium and vinyl substituents on the benzene ring of the cation subtend angles of 86.6 (3) and 10.5 (9)° to the ring plane, while the anion is planar excluding the sulfonate O atoms. The vinyl substituent on the benzene ring of the cation is disordered over two sites with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.542 (11):0.458 (11). In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds dominate the packing and combine with a C—H⋯π(ring) contact to stack the cations and anions along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the salt and of the individual cation and anion components is also reported.

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C17H14ClFO3, consists of a 4-chloro-3-fluoro­phenyl ring and a 3,4-di­meth­oxy­phenyl ring linked via a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The mol­ecule has an E configuration about the C=C bond and the carbonyl group is syn with respect to the C=C bond. The F and H atoms at the meta positions of the 4-chloro-3-fluoro­phenyl ring are disordered over two orientations, with an occupancy ratio of 0.785 (3):0.215 (3). In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of C—H⋯O inter­actions with an R22(14) ring motif, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are linked into a tape structure running along [10overline{1}] by a C—H⋯π inter­action. The inter­molecular contacts in the crystal were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are H⋯H (25.0%), followed by C⋯H/H⋯C (20.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (15.6%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (10.7%), F⋯H/H⋯F (10.4%), F⋯C/C⋯F (7.2%) and C⋯C (3.0%).

The title compound, C22H22N2O4S2, was synthesized by the reaction of 1,4,5,8-naphthalene­tetra­carb­oxy­lic dianhydride with 3-(methyl­sulfan­yl)propyl­amine. The whole mol­ecule is generated by an inversion operation of the asymmetric unit. This mol­ecule has an anti form with the terminal methyl­thio­propyl groups above and below the aromatic di­imide plane, where four intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds are present and the O⋯H⋯S angle is 100.8°. DFT calculations revealed slight differences between the solid state and gas phase structures. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along the [2overline20] direction. adjacent chains are inter­connected by π–π inter­actions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to the (001) plane. Each two-dimensional layer is further packed in an ABAB sequence along the c-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals inter­actions make important contributions to the inter­molecular contacts. The most important contacts found in the Hirshfeld surface analysis are H⋯H (44.2%), H⋯O/O⋯H (18.2%), H⋯C/C⋯H (14.4%), and H⋯S/S⋯H (10.2%).

The title compound, C21H16N2O2, consists of an imidazolidine unit linked to two phenyl rings and two prop-2-yn-1-yl moieties. The imidazolidine ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 79.10 (5) and 82.61 (5)° with respect to the phenyl rings, while the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 62.06 (5)°. In the crystal, inter­molecular C—HProp⋯OImdzln (Prop = prop-2-yn-1-yl and Imdzln = imidazolidine) hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. Two weak C—HPhen⋯π inter­actions are also observed. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (43.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (37.8%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (18.0%) inter­actions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals inter­actions are the dominant inter­actions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that the C—HProp⋯OImdzln hydrogen-bond energy in the crystal is −40.7 kJ mol−1. Density functional theory (DFT) 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 behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.
