The title compound, C12H11N3O2S, was synthesized by a condensation reaction of 2-acetyl­indan-1,3-dione and thio­semicarbazide in ethanol in the presence of glacial acetic acid. The mol­ecule adopts a thio­ketone form. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of 1H-inden-1,3(2H)-dione and hydrazinecarbo­thio­amide units is 86.32 (7)°. Weak intra­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of weak inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked into a three-dimensional network through N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5619 (10)–3.9712 (9) Å].

In the title compound, [Cu2(C7HF4O2)4(C12H8N2)2(CH3OH)], the mol­ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis in space group C2/c. The Cu2+ ion exhibits a distorted octa­hedral sphere with two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand, three O atoms from the 2,3,4,5-tetra­fluoro­benzoate ligands and one O atom from a methanol mol­ecule. The distortion from an octa­hedral shape is a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect of CuII and the small bite angle for the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand [54.50 (11)°]. The methanol mol­ecule bridges two symmetry-related CuII atoms to form the complete mol­ecule. In the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand, one F atom is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure, only weak inter­molecular inter­actions are observed.

Single crystals of rubidium tetra­fluorido­bromate(III), RbBrF4, were grown by melting and recrystallizing RbBrF4 from its melt. This is the first determination of the crystal structure of RbBrF4 using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. We confirmed that the structure contains square-planar [BrF4]− anions and rubidium cations that are coordinated by F atoms in a square-anti­prismatic manner. The compound crystallizes in the KBrF4 structure type. Atomic coordinates and bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision than in a previous report based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2015). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 641, 2593–2598].

The title compound, C12H10N2O2S, was synthesized via the acid-catalyzed condensation of 4-nitro­aniline and 5-methyl-2-thio­phene­carboxaldehyde in a methanol–water solution.

The structure of the title compound, [Os(C6HF4S)4{P(C6H5)3}], has been previously reported [Arroyo et al. (1994). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1819–1824], in the space group Poverline{1}. We have now obtained a monoclinic polymorph for this compound, crystallized from ethanol, while the previous form was obtained from a hexa­ne/chloro­form mixture. The mol­ecular structure is based on a trigonal–bipyramidal OsIV coordination geometry, close to that observed previously in the triclinic form.

The title compound, C16H24N2O2, previously obtained as a yellow oil, exhibits a rather low melting point close to room temperature 297–298 K). In the mol­ecule, the isoindoline ring system is approximately planar and coplanar to the nitro group, forming a dihedral angle of 5.63 (15)°. In the crystal, only weak N—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed, linking mol­ecules into chains parallel to the [101] direction.

In the title compound, C29H26ClNO4, the di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a shallow boat conformation. The mean plane of the di­hydro­pyridine ring (all atoms) subtends dihedral angles of 66.54 (1), 73.71 (1) and 79.47 (1)° with the two phenyl rings and the chloro­phenyl ring, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

The title compound, {(C9H11N2)[Mn(NCS)3]}n, has been obtained as a side product of the salt metathesis reaction of 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium bromide, (EMIm)Br, and K2[Mn(NCS)4]. The structure consists of discrete 1-ethyl-3-methyl­imidazolium cations and an anionic two-dimensional network of manganese(II)-based complex anions, inter­connected by thio­cyanate ions. Every Mn2+ ion is coordinated by three S atoms of three NCS− ions and three N atoms of further three NCS− ions in a meridional octa­hedral fashion.

In the title compound, C31H24Br2Cl2N2O, the dihedral angles subtended by the tert-butyl-phenyl, 4,6-di­chloro­phenol and 4-bromo­phenyl (×2) rings are 70.7 (3), 8.1 (3), 28.1 (3) and 84.2 (3)°, respectively. The orientations of the pendant rings may be related to intra­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions. One of the tert-butyl methyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.54 (3):0.46 (3) ratio. In the crystal, a weak C—H⋯π inter­action generates inversion dimers.

In the title hydrated salt, [Ni(C21H17F2N3)2](NO3)2·2H2O, the central NiII ion is coordinated by six N atoms from two tridentate chelating 2,6-bis­[(E)-(4-fluoro­benzyl­imino)­meth­yl]pyridine ligands. While the central NiII ion is six-coordinate, its environment is distorted from an octa­hedral structure because of the unequal Ni—N distances. The Ni—N bond lengths vary from 1.8642 (14) to 2.2131 (15) Å, while the N—Ni—N angles range from 79.98 (6) to 104.44 (6)°. Three coordinating sites of each chelating agent are almost coplanar with respect to the pyridine ring, and two pyridine moieties are perpendicular to each other. Two non-coordinating nitrate anions within the asymmetric unit balance the charges of the central metal ion, and are linked with two crystal water mol­ecules, forming a water–nitrate cyclic tetra­meric unit [O⋯O = 2.813 (2) to 3.062 (2) Å]. In an isolated mol­ecule, the fluoro­phenyl rings of one ligand are stacked with the central ring of the other ligand via π–π inter­actions, with the closest centroid-to-plane distances being 3.359 (6), 3.408 (5), 3.757 (6) and 3.659 (5) Å.

In the title compound, C12H9ClN2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 1.78 (4)° and an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

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 complex, [NiCl2(C12H9N3)2]·H2O, a divalent nickel atom is coordinated by two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment defined by four N donors of two N,N'-chelating ligands, along with two cis-oriented anionic chloride donors. The title complex crystallized with a water mol­ecule disordered over two positions. In the crystal, a combination of O—H⋯Cl, O—H.·O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, together with C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions, links the complex mol­ecules and the water mol­ecules to form a supra­molecular three-dimensional framework. The title complex is isostructural with the cobalt(II) dichloride complex reported previously [Das et al. (2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097–7107].

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)°].

The title compound, C25H22N2O2Se, crystallizes in the space group P21/c with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit.

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.

Caesium tetra­fluorido­bromate(III), CsBrF4, was crystallized in form of small blocks by melting and recrystallization. The crystal structure of CsBrF4 was redetermined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In comparison with a previous study based on powder X-ray diffraction data [Ivlev et al. (2013). Z. Anorg. Allg. Chem. 639, 2846–2850], bond lengths and angles were determined with higher precision, and all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters. It was confirmed that the structure of CsBrF4 contains two square-planar [BrF4]− anions each with point group symmetry mmm, and a caesium cation (site symmetry mm2) that is coordinated by twelve fluorine atoms, forming an anti­cubocta­hedron. CsBrF4 is isotypic with CsAuF4.

In the title compound, C21H20BrNO4S, a key inter­mediate in the synthesis of the widely used β-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam, the five-membered thia­zolidine ring adopts an envelope conformation and the four-membered azetidine ring is in a distorted planar conformation. The crystal structure features C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H⋯π inter­action.

The asymmetric unit consists of two crystallographically independent 18-crown-6 mol­ecules, two hydro­nium ions and two bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfon­yl)amide anions; each 18-crown-6 mol­ecule complexes with a hydro­nium ion. In one 18-crown-6 mol­ecule, a part of the ring exhibits conformational disorder over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.533 (13):0.467 (13). One hydro­nium ion is complexed with the ordered 18-crown-6 mol­ecule via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with H2OH⋯OC distances of 1.90 (6)–2.19 (7) Å, and the other hydro­nium ion with the disordered crown mol­ecule with distances of 1.85 (6)–2.36 (6) Å. The hydro­nium ions are also linked to the anions via O—H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The crystal studied was found to be a racemic twin with a component ratio of 0.55 (13):0.45 (13).

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.

The mol­ecule crystallizes in the monoclinic system (Cc space group) and has an E configuration with respect to the exocyclic C=C bond.

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 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.

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 mol­ecule, C11H8F3NO3, adopts a cis configuration across the –C=C– double bond in the side chain and the dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and side chain is 47.35 (1)°. The –COOH group adopts a syn conformation (O=C—O—H = 0°), unlike the anti conformation observed in related maleamic acids. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are connected via N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯O inter­actions into (100) sheets, which are cross-linked by another C—H⋯O inter­action to result in a three-dimensional network. The Hirshfeld surface fingerprint plots show that the highest contribution to surface contacts arises from O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (26.5%) followed by H⋯F/F⋯H (23.4%) and H⋯H (17.3%).

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 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.

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 title compound, C13H24O9·H2O, a structural model for part of bacterial O-anti­gen polysaccharides from Shigella flexneri and Escherichia coli, crystallizes with four independent disaccharide mol­ecules and four water mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The conformation at the glycosidic linkage joining the two rhamnosyl residues is described by the torsion angles φH of 39, 30, 37 and 37°, and ψH of −32, −35, −31 and −32°, which are the major conformation region known to be populated in an aqueous solution. The hexo­pyran­ose rings have the 1C4 chair conformation. In the crystal, the disaccharide and water mol­ecules are associated through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a layer parallel to the bc plane. The layers stack along the a axis via hydro­phobic inter­actions between the methyl groups.

The solvated centrosymmmtric title compound, [Li2(C24H34O4P)2(C10H8N2)2]·2C7H8, was formed in the reaction between {Li[(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO](MeOH)3}(MeOH) and 2,2'-bi­pyridine (bipy) in toluene. The structure has monoclinic (P21/n) symmetry at 120 K and the asymmetric unit consists of half a complex mol­ecule and one mol­ecule of toluene solvent. The diaryl phosphate ligand demonstrates a μ-κO:κO'-bridging coordination mode and the 2,2'-bi­pyridine ligand is chelating to the Li+ cation, generating a distorted tetra­hedral LiN2O2 coordination polyhedron. The complex exhibits a unique dimeric Li2O4P2 core. One isopropyl group is disordered over two orientations in a 0.621 (4):0.379 (4) ratio. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions help to consolidate the packing. Catalytic systems based on the title complex and on the closely related complex {Li[(2,6-iPr2C6H3-O)2POO](MeOH)3}(MeOH) display activity in the ring-opening polymerization of ∊-caprolactone and l-dilactide.

The title compound, C12H20S5, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with four mol­ecules in the unit cell. In the crystal, the asymmetric unit comprises the entire mol­ecule with the three cyclic moieties arranged in a line. The mol­ecules in the unit cell pack in a parallel fashion, with their longitudinal axes arranged along a uniform direction. The packing is stabilized by the one-dimensional propagation of non-classical hydrogen-bonding contacts between the central sulfur atom of the S3 fragment and the C—H of a cyclo­hexyl group from a glide-related mol­ecule [C⋯S = 3.787 (2) Å].

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 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 title pyridazinone derivative, C21H19ClN2O3, is not planar. The unsubstituted phenyl ring and the pyridazine ring are inclined to each other, making a dihedral angle of 17.41 (13)° whereas the Cl-substituted phenyl ring is nearly orthogonal to the pyridazine ring [88.19 (13)°]. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate dimers with R22(10) and R22(24) ring motifs which are linked by C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming chains extending parallel to the c-axis direction. The inter­molecular inter­actions were investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, revealing that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (44.5%), C⋯H/H⋯C (18.5%), H⋯O/H⋯O (15.6%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (10.6%) and C⋯C (2.8%) contacts.

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.

The synthesis, spectroscopic data and crystal and mol­ecular structures of four 3-(3-phenyl­prop-1-ene-3-one-1-yl)thio­phene derivatives, namely 1-(4-hydroxy­phen­yl)-3-(thio­phen-3-yl)prop-1-en-3-one, C13H10O2S, (1), 1-(4-meth­oxy­phen­yl)-3-(thio­phen-3-yl)prop-1-en-3-one, C14H12O2S, (2), 1-(4-eth­oxy­phen­yl)-3-(thio­phen-3-yl)prop-1-en-3-one, C15H14O2S, (3), and 1-(4-­bromophen­yl)-3-(thio­phen-3-yl)prop-1-en-3-one, C13H9BrOS, (4), are described. The four chalcones have been synthesized by reaction of thio­phene-3-carbaldehyde with an aceto­phenone derivative in an absolute ethanol solution containing potassium hydroxide, and differ in the substituent at the para position of the phenyl ring: –OH for 1, –OCH3 for 2, –OCH2CH3 for 3 and –Br for 4. The thio­phene ring in 4 was found to be disordered over two orientations with occupancies 0.702 (4) and 0.298 (4). The configuration about the C=C bond is E. The thio­phene and phenyl rings are inclined by 4.73 (12) for 1, 12.36 (11) for 2, 17.44 (11) for 3 and 46.1 (6) and 48.6 (6)° for 4, indicating that the –OH derivative is almost planar and the –Br derivative deviates the most from planarity. However, the substituent has no real influence on the bond distances in the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl moiety. The mol­ecular packing of 1 features chain formation in the a-axis direction by O—H⋯O contacts. In the case of 2 and 3, the packing is characterized by dimer formation through C—H⋯O inter­actions. In addition, C—H⋯π(thio­phene) inter­actions in 2 and C—H⋯S(thio­phene) inter­actions in 3 contribute to the three-dimensional architecture. The presence of C—H⋯π(thio­phene) contacts in the crystal of 4 results in chain formation in the c-axis direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that for all four derivatives, the highest contribution to surface contacts arises from contacts in which H atoms are involved.

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.
