mid Synthesis, crystal structure and in-silico evaluation of arylsulfonamide Schiff bases for potential activity against colon cancer By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-03-28 This report presents a comprehensive investigation into the synthesis and characterization of Schiff base compounds derived from benzenesulfonamide. The synthesis process, involved the reaction between N-cycloamino-2-sulfanilamide and various substituted o-salicylaldehydes, resulted in a set of compounds that were subjected to rigorous characterization using advanced spectral techniques, including 1H NMR, 13C NMR and FT–IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, an in-depth assessment of the synthesized compounds was conducted through Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) analysis, in conjunction with docking studies, to elucidate their pharmacokinetic profiles and potential. Impressively, the ADMET analysis showcased encouraging drug-likeness properties of the newly synthesized Schiff bases. These computational findings were substantiated by molecular properties derived from density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the B3LYP/6-31G* method within the Jaguar Module of Schrödinger 2023-2 from Maestro (Schrodinger LLC, New York, USA). The exploration of frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO) enabled the computation of global reactivity descriptors (GRDs), encompassing charge separation (Egap) and global softness (S). Notably, within this analysis, one Schiff base, namely, 4-bromo-2-{N-[2-(pyrrolidine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl]carboximidoyl}phenol, 20, emerged with the smallest charge separation (ΔEgap = 3.5780 eV), signifying heightened potential for biological properties. Conversely, 4-bromo-2-{N-[2-(piperidine-1-sulfonyl)phenyl]carboximidoyl}phenol, 17, exhibited the largest charge separation (ΔEgap = 4.9242 eV), implying a relatively lower propensity for biological activity. Moreover, the synthesized Schiff bases displayed remarkeable inhibition of tankyrase poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase enzymes, integral in colon cancer, surpassing the efficacy of a standard drug used for the same purpose. Additionally, their bioavailability scores aligned closely with established medications such as trifluridine and 5-fluorouracil. The exploration of molecular electrostatic potential through colour mapping delved into the electronic behaviour and reactivity tendencies intrinsic to this diverse range of molecules.

mid 3-[(Benzo-1,3-dioxol-5-yl)amino]-4-methoxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione: polymorphism and twinning of a precursor to an antimycobacterial squaramide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-05 The title compound, 3-[(benzo-1,3-dioxol-5-yl)amino]-4-methoxycyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione, C12H9NO5 (3), is a precursor to an antimycobacterial squaramide. Block-shaped crystals of a monoclinic form (3-I, space group P21/c, Z = 8, Z' = 2) and needle-shaped crystals of a triclinic form (3-II, space group P-1, Z = 4, Z' = 2) were found to crystallize concomitantly. In both crystal forms, R22(10) dimers assemble through N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds. These dimers are formed from crystallographically unique molecules in 3-I, but exhibit crystallographic Ci symmetry in 3-II. Twinning by pseudomerohedry was encountered in the crystals of 3-II. The conformations of 3 in the solid forms 3-I and 3-II are different from one another but are similar for the unique molecules in each polymorph. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the free molecule of 3 indicate that a nearly planar conformation is preferred. Full Article text
mid Salt forms of amides: protonation of acetanilide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-08-06 Treating the amide acetanilide (N-phenylacetamide, C8H9NO) with aqueous strong acids allowed the structures of five hemi-protonated salt forms of acetanilide to be elucidated. N-(1-Hydroxyethylidene)anilinium chloride–N-phenylacetamide (1/1), [(C8H9NO)2H][Cl], and the bromide, [(C8H9NO)2H][Br], triiodide, [(C8H9NO)2H][I3], tetrafluoroborate, [(C8H9NO)2H][BF4], and diiodobromide hemi(diiodine), [(C8H9NO)2H][I2Br]·0.5I2, analogues all feature centrosymmetric dimeric units linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds that extend into one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains through N—H⋯X interactions, where X is the halide atom of the anion. Protonation occurs at the amide O atom and results in systematic lengthening of the C=O bond and a corresponding shortening of the C—N bond. The size of these geometric changes is similar to those found for hemi-protonated paracetamol structures, but less than those in fully protonated paracetamol structures. The bond angles of the amide fragments are also found to change on protonation, but these angular changes are also influenced by conformation, namely, whether the amide group is coplanar with the phenyl ring or twisted out of plane.

mid Coordination variety of phenyltetrazolato and dimethylamido ligands in dimeric Ti, Zr, and Ta complexes By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-08-23 Three structurally diverse 5-phenyltetrazolato (Tz) Ti, Zr, and Ta complexes, namely, (C2H8N)[Ti2(C7H5N4)5(C2H6N)4]·1.45C6H6 or (Me2NH2)[Ti2(NMe2)4(2,3-μ-Tz)3(2-η1-Tz)2]·1.45C6H6, (1·1.45C6H6), [Zr2(C7H5N4)6(C2H6N)2(C2H7N)2]·1.12C6H6·0.382CH2Cl2 or [Zr2(Me2NH)2(NMe2)2(2,3-μ-Tz)3(2-η1-Tz)2(1,2-η2-Tz)]·1.12C6H6·0.38CH2Cl2 (2·1.12C6H6·0.38CH2Cl2), and (C2H8N)2[Ta2(C7H5N4)8(C2H6N)2O]·0.25C7H8 or (Me2NH2)2[Ta2(NMe2)2(2,3-μ-Tz)2(2-η1-Tz)6O]·0.25C7H8 (3·0.25C7H8), where TzH is 5-phenyl-1H-tetrazole, have been synthesized and structurally characterized. All three complexes are dinuclear; the Ti center in 1 is six-coordinate, whereas the Zr and Ta atoms in 2 and 3 are seven-coordinate. The coordination environments of the Ti centers in 1 are similar, and so are the ligations of the Ta centers in 3. In contrast, the two Zr centers in 2 bear a different number of ligands, one of which is a bidentate η2-5-phenyltetrazolato ligand that has not been observed previously for d-block elements. The dimethylamido ligand, present in the starting materials, remained unchanged, or was converted to dimethylamine and dimethylammonium during the synthesis. Dimethylamine coordinates as a neutral ligand, whereas dimethylammonium is retained as a hydrogen-bonded entity bridging Tz ligands. Full Article text

These assemblies are characterized by self-complementary donor–acceptor molecular interactions, demonstrating a recurrent and distinctive pattern of hydrogen-bonding preferences among the carboxylate, carboxylic acid and N—H groups of the coordinated 2,2'-biimidazole and malonate ligands. Additionally, coordination of the carboxylate group with the metallic centre helps sustain remarkable supramolecular assemblies, such as layers, helices, double helix columns or 3D channeled architectures, including mixed-metal complexes, into a single structure.

mid Supramolecular architectures in multicomponent crystals of imidazole-based drugs and trithiocyanuric acid By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-01 The structures of three multicomponent crystals formed with imidazole-based drugs, namely metronidazole, ketoconazole and miconazole, in conjunction with trithiocyanuric acid are characterized. Each of the obtained adducts represents a different category of crystalline molecular forms: a cocrystal, a salt and a cocrystal of salt. The structural analysis revealed that in all cases, the N—H⋯N hydrogen bond is responsible for the formation of acid–base pairs, regardless of whether proton transfer occurs or not, and these molecular pairs are combined to form unique supramolecular motifs by centrosymmetric N—H⋯S interactions between acid molecules. The complex intermolecular forces acting in characteristic patterns are discussed from the geometric and energetic perspectives, involving Hirshfeld surface analysis, pairwise energy estimation, and natural bond orbital calculations.

mid Solvatomorphism in a series of copper(II) complexes with the 5-phenylimidazole/perchlorate system as ligands By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-30 In the course of an investigation of the supramolecular behaviour of copper(II) complexes with the 5-phenylimidazole/perchlorate ligand system (`blend') remarkable solvatomorphism has been observed. By employing a variety of crystallization solvents (polar protic, polar/non-polar aprotic), a series of 12 crystalline solvatomorphs with the general formula [Cu(ClO4)2(LH)4]·x(solvent) have been obtained [LH = 5-phenylimidazole, x(solvent) = 3.3(H2O) (1), 2(methanol) (2), 2(ethanol) (3), 2(1-propanol) (4), 2(2-propanol) (5), 2(2-butanol) (6), 2(dimethylformamide) (7), 2(acetone) (8), 2(tetrahydrofurane) (9), 2(1,4-dioxane) (10), 2(ethyl acetate) (11) and 1(diethyl ether) (12)]. The structures have been solved using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and the complexes were characterized by thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The solvatomorphs are isostructural (triclinic, P1), with the exception of compound 9 (monoclinic, P21/n). The supramolecular structures and the role of the various solvents is discussed. All potential hydrogen-bond functionalities, both of the [Cu(ClO4)2(LH)4] units and of the solvents, are utilized in the course of the crystallization process. The supramolecular assembly in all structures is directed by strong recurring Nimidazole–H⋯Operchlorate motifs leading to robust scaffolds composed of the [Cu(ClO4)2(LH)4] host complexes. The solvents are located in channels and, with the exception of the disordered waters in 1 and the diethyl ether in 12, participate in hydrogen-bonding formation with the [Cu(ClO4)2(LH)4] complexes, serving as both hydrogen-bond acceptors and donors (for the polar protic solvents in 2–6), or solely as hydrogen-bond acceptors (for the polar/non-polar aprotic solvents in 7–11), linking the complexes and contributing to the stability of the crystalline compounds.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one bis-thiosemicarbazonato PdII complex and one ethanol solvent molecule. The thiosemicarbazononato ligands act as metal chelators with a trans configuration in a distorted square-planar geometry. A C—H⋯S intramolecular interaction, with graph-set motif S(6), is observed and the coordination sphere resembles a hydrogen-bonded macrocyclic environment. Additionally, one C—H⋯Pd anagostic interaction can be suggested. Each ligand is disordered over the aliphatic ring, which adopts a half-chair conformation, and two methyl groups [s.o.f. = 0.624 (2):0.376 (2)]. The disorder includes the chiral carbon atoms and, remarkably, one ligand has the (R)-isomer with the highest s.o.f. value atoms, while the other one shows the opposite, the atoms with the highest s.o.f. value are associated with the (S)-isomer. The N—N—C(=S)—N fragments of the ligands are approximately planar, with the maximum deviations from the mean plane through the selected atoms being 0.0567 (1) and −0.0307 (8) Å (r.m.s.d. = 0.0403 and 0.0269 Å) and the dihedral angle with the respective aromatic rings amount to 46.68 (5) and 50.66 (4)°. In the crystal, the complexes are linked via pairs of N—H⋯S interactions, with graph-set motif R22(8), into centrosymmetric dimers. The dimers are further connected by centrosymmetric pairs of ethanol molecules, building mono-periodic hydrogen-bonded ribbons along [011]. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for the crystal cohesion are [atoms with highest/lowest s.o.f.s considered separately]: H⋯H (81.6/82.0%), H⋯C/C⋯H (6.5/6.4%), H⋯N/N⋯H (5.2/5.0%) and H⋯S/S⋯H (5.0/4.9%).

mid Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis, intermolecular interaction energies, energy frameworks and DFT calculations of 4-amino-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)pyrimidin-2(1H)-one By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2023-11-21 In the title molecule, C7H7N3O, the pyrimidine ring is essentially planar, with the propynyl group rotated out of this plane by 15.31 (4)°. In the crystal, a tri-periodic network is formed by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding and slipped π–π stacking interactions, leading to narrow channels extending parallel to the c axis. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure reveals that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (36.2%), H⋯C/C⋯H (20.9%), H⋯O/O⋯H (17.8%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (12.2%) interactions, showing that hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicates that the stabilization is dominated by the electrostatic energy contributions. The molecular structure optimized by density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was also elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text

The complex does not have the tetrakis(CAPh)lanthanide anion, which is typical for ester-type CAPh-based coordination compounds. Instead, the NdO8 polyhedron is formed by one oxygen atom of a 2-propanol molecule and seven oxygen atoms of CAPh ligands in the title compound. Three CAPh ligands are coordinated in a bidentate chelating manner to the NdIII ion and simultaneously binding the sodium cation by μ2-bridging PO and CO groups while the fourth CAPh ligand is coordinated to the sodium cation in a bidentate chelating manner and, due to the μ2-bridging function of the PO group, also binds the neodymium ion.

The Ru atom has an Addison τ parameter of 0.244, which indicates a geometry intermediate between square-based pyramidal and trigonal–bipyramidal. The complex shows the usual trans arrangement of the two chlorides, with Ru—Cl bond lengths of 2.3515 (8) and 2.379 (7) Å, and a Cl—Ru—Cl angle of 158.02 (3)°. One of the chlorine atoms and the atoms of the 2-methoxy-N-methyl-N-[(2-methylphenyl)methyl]ethane-1-amine group of the title complex display disorder over two positions in a 0.889 (2): 0.111 (2) ratio.

mid The synthesis and structural properties of a chloridobis{N-[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino]pyrrolidine-1-carboxamide}zinc(II) (acetonitrile)trichloridozincate coordination complex By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 The title complex, [ZnCl(C12H15N3O2)2][ZnCl3(CH3CN)], was synthesized and its structure was fully characterized through single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Pbca (61), with a central zinc atom coordinating one chlorine atom and two pyrrolidinyl-4-methoxyphenyl azoformamide ligands in a bidentate manner, utilizing both the nitrogen and oxygen atoms in a 1,3-heterodiene (N=N—C=O) motif for coordinative bonding, yielding an overall positively (+1) charged complex. The complex is accompanied by a [(CH3CN)ZnCl3]− counter-ion. The crystal data show that the harder oxygen atoms in the heterodiene zinc chelate form bonding interactions with distances of 2.002 (3) and 2.012 (3) Å, while nitrogen atoms are coordinated by the central zinc cation with bond lengths of 2.207 (3) and 2.211 (3) Å. To gain further insight into the intermolecular interactions within the crystal, Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed, along with the calculation of two-dimensional fingerprint plots. This analysis revealed that H⋯H (39.9%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (28.2%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (7.2%) interactions are dominant. This unique crystal structure sheds light on arrangement and bonding interactions with azoformamide ligands, and their unique qualities over similar semicarbazone and azothioformamide structures.

mid Crystal structures of sixteen phosphane chalcogenide complexes of gold(I) chloride, bromide and iodide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 The structures of 16 phosphane chalcogenide complexes of gold(I) halides, with the general formula R13-nR2nPEAuX (R1 = t-butyl; R2 = isopropyl; n = 0 to 3; E = S or Se; X = Cl, Br or I), are presented. The eight possible chlorido derivatives are: 1a, n = 3, E = S; 2a, n = 2, E = S; 3a, n = 1, E = S; 4a, n = 0, E = S; 5a, n = 3, E = Se; 6a, n = 2, E = Se; 7a, n = 1, E = Se; and 8a, n = 0, E = Se, and the corresponding bromido derivatives are 1b–8b in the same order. However, 2a and 2b were badly disordered and 8a was not obtained. The iodido derivatives are 2c, 6c and 7c (numbered as for the series a and b). All structures are solvent-free and all have Z' = 1 except for 6b and 6c (Z' = 2). All molecules show the expected linear geometry at gold and approximately tetrahedral angles P—E—Au. The presence of bulky ligands forces some short intramolecular contacts, in particular H⋯Au and H⋯E. The Au—E bond lengths have a slight but consistent tendency to be longer when trans to a softer X ligand, and vice versa. The five compounds 1a, 5a, 6a, 1b and 5b form an isotypic set, despite the different alkyl groups in 6a. Compounds 3a/3b, 4b/8b and 6b/6c form isotypic pairs. The crystal packing can be analysed in terms of various types of secondary interactions, of which the most frequent are `weak' hydrogen bonds from methine hydrogen atoms to the halogenido ligands. For the structure type 1a, H⋯X and H⋯E contacts combine to form a layer structure. For 3a/3b, the packing is almost featureless, but can be described in terms of a double-layer structure involving borderline H⋯Cl/Br and H⋯S contacts. In 4a and 4b/8b, which lack methine groups, Cmethyl—H⋯X contacts combine to form layer structures. In 7a/7b, short C—H⋯X interactions form chains of molecules that are further linked by association of short Au⋯Se contacts to form a layer structure. The packing of compound 6b/6c can conveniently be analysed for each independent molecule separately, because they occupy different regions of the cell. Molecule 1 forms chains in which the molecules are linked by a Cmethine⋯Au contact. The molecules 2 associate via a short Se⋯Se contact and a short H⋯X contact to form a layer structure. The packing of compound 2c can be described in terms of two short Cmethine—H⋯I contacts, which combine to form a corrugated ribbon structure. Compound 7c is the only compound in this paper to feature Au⋯Au contacts, which lead to twofold-symmetric dimers. Apart from this, the packing is almost featureless, consisting of layers with only translation symmetry except for two very borderline Au⋯H contacts. Full Article text
mid Crystal structures of two formamidinium hexafluoridophosphate salts, one with batch-dependent disorder By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-01 Syntheses of the acyclic amidinium salts, morpholinoformamidinium hexafluoridophosphate [OC4H8N—CH=NH2]PF6 or C5H11N2O+·PF6−, 1, and pyrrolidinoformamidinium hexafluoridophosphate [C4H8N—CH= NH2]PF6 or C5H11N2+·PF6−, 2, were carried out by heating either morpholine or pyrrolidine with triethyl orthoformate and ammonium hexafluoridophosphate. Crystals of 1 obtained directly from the reaction mixture contain one cation and one anion in the asymmetric unit. The structure involves cations linked in chains parallel to the b axis by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in space group Pbca, with glide-related chains pointing in opposite directions. Crystals of 1 obtained by recrystallization from ethanol, however, showed a similar unit cell and the same basic structure, but unexpectedly, there was positional disorder [occupancy ratio 0.639 (4):0.361 (4)] in one of the cation chains, which lowered the crystal symmetry to the non-centrosymmetric space group Pca21, with two cations and anions in the asymmetric unit. In the pyrrolidino compound, 2, cations and anions are ordered and are stacked separately, with zigzag N—H⋯F hydrogen-bonding between stacks, forming ribbons parallel to (101), extended along the b-axis direction. Slight differences in the delocalized C=N distances between the two cations may reflect the inductive effect of the oxygen atom in the morpholino compound. Full Article text
mid Crystal structure of poly[hexa-μ-bromido-bis{2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylideneamino]ethanolato}tetracopper(II)] By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-12 The reaction of the Schiff base 2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylideneamino]ethanol (HL), which is formed by reaction of 2-aminoethanol and 2-acetylpyridine with CuBr2 in ethanol results in the isolation of the new polymeric complex poly[hexa-μ-bromido-bis{2-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylideneamino]ethanolato}tetracopper(II)], [Cu4Br6(C9H11N2O)2]n or [Cu4Br6L2]n. The asymmetric unit of the crystal structure of the polymeric [Cu4Br6L2]n complex is composed by four copper (II) cations, two monodeprotonated molecules of the ligand, and six bromide anions, which act as bridges. The ligand molecules act in a tridentate fashion through their azomethine nitrogen atoms, their pyridine nitrogen atoms, and their alcoholate O atoms. The crystal structure shows two types of geometries in the coordination polyhedrons around Cu2+ ions. Two copper cations are situated in a square-based pyramidal environment, while the two other copper cations adopt a tetrahedral geometry. Bromides anions acting as bridges between two metal ions connect the units, resulting in a tetranuclear polymer compound. Full Article text

The ring angles at the unsubstituted nitrogen atoms are narrow, at 115.57 (12) and 115.19 (12)°, respectively, whereas the angle at the carbon atom between these N atoms is very wide, 127.97 (13)°. The interplanar angle between the two rings is 79.56 (5)°. The molecules are linked by three classical hydrogen bonds, forming a ribbon structure. There are also unusual linkages involving three short contacts (< 3 Å) from a sulfonamide oxygen atom to the C—NH—C part of a triazine ring. Full Article text
mid Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-2-[2-(2-amino-1-cyano-2-oxoethylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]benzoic acid N,N-dimethylformamide monosolvate By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-05 In the title compound, C10H8N4O3·C3H7NO, the asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent molecules A and B, each of which has one DMF solvate molecule. Molecules A and B both feature intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming S(6) ring motifs and consolidating the molecular configuration. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect molecules A and B, forming R22(8) ring motifs. Weak C—H⋯O interactions link the molecules, forming layers parallel to the (overline{2}12) plane. The DMF solvent molecules are also connected to the main molecules (A and B) by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8702 (17) Å] between the layers also increase the stability of the molecular structure in the third dimension. According to the Hirshfeld surface study, O⋯H/H⋯O interactions are the most significant contributors to the crystal packing (27.5% for molecule A and 25.1% for molecule B). Full Article text
mid Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal properties of dibromidobis(2-methylpyridine N-oxide-κO)cobalt(II) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-01-12 Reaction of CoBr2 with 2-methylpyridine N-oxide in n-butanol leads to the formation of the title compound, [CoBr2(C6H7NO)2] or [CoBr2(2-methylpyridine N-oxide)2]. Its asymmetric unit consists of one CoII cation as well as two bromide anions and two 2-methylpyridine N-oxide coligands in general positions. The CoII cations are tetrahedrally coordinated by two bromide anions and two 2-methylpyridine N-oxides, forming discrete complexes. In the crystal structure, these complexes are linked predominantly by weak C–H⋯Br hydrogen bonding into chains that propagate along the crystallographic a-axis. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements indicate that a pure phase was obtained. Thermoanalytical investigations prove that the title compound melts before decomposition; before melting, a further endothermic signal of unknown origin was observed that does not correspond to a phase transition.

mid Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT study of N-(2-nitrophenyl)maleimide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-02-02 The title compound [systematic name: 1-(2-nitrophenyl)pyrrole-2,5-dione], C10H6N2O4, crystallizes in the monoclinic system (space group P21/n) with two molecules in the asymmetric unit, which are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯O/O⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯H interactions, which contribute 54.7%, 15.2% and 15.6%, respectively. A DFT study was conducted using three different levels of theory [(B3LYP/6–311+G(d,p), wB97XD/Def2TZVPP and LC-wpbe/6–311(2 d,2p)] in order to determine the stability, structural and electronic properties of the title molecule with a view to its potential applications and photochemical and copolymer properties.

mid [4-(2-Aminoethyl)morpholine-κ2N,N']dibromidocadmium(II): synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-02-08 The title compound, [CdBr2(C6H14N2O)], was synthesized upon complexation of 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and cadmium(II) bromide tetrahydrate at 303 K. It crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer, with one cadmium atom, two bromine atoms and one N,N'-bidentate 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligand in the asymmetric unit. The metal atom is six-coordinated and has a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, O⋯Cd interactions link the dimers into a polymeric double chain and intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form R22(6) ring motifs. Further C—H⋯Br and N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the components into a three-dimensional network. As the N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds are shorter than the C—H⋯Br interactions, they have a larger effect on the packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the largest contributions to the packing are from H⋯H (46.1%) and Br⋯H/H⋯Br (38.9%) interactions with smaller contributions from the O⋯H/H⋯O (4.7%), Br⋯Cd/Cd⋯Br (4.4%), O⋯Cd/Cd⋯O (3.5%), Br⋯Br (1.1%), Cd⋯H/H⋯Cd (0.9%), Br⋯O/O⋯Br (0.3%) and O⋯N/N⋯O (0.1%) contacts.

mid Crystal structures of ten phosphane chalcogenide complexes of gold(III) chloride and bromide By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-03-12 The structures of ten phosphane chalcogenide complexes of gold(III) halides, with general formula R13–nR2nPEAuX3 (R1 = t-butyl; R2 = i-propyl; n = 0 to 3; E = S or Se; X = Cl or Br) are presented. The eight possible chlorido derivatives are: 9a, n = 3, E = S; 10a, n = 2, E = S; 11a, n = 1, E = S; 12a, n = 0, E = S; 13a, n = 3, E = Se; 14a, n = 2, E = Se; 15a, n = 1, E = Se; and 16a, n = 0, E = Se, and the corresponding bromido derivatives are 9b–16b in the same order. Structures were obtained for 9a, 10a (and a second polymorph 10aa), 11a (and its deuterochloroform monosolvate 11aa), 12a (as its dichloromethane monosolvate), 14a, 15a (as its deuterochloroform monosolvate 15aa, in which the solvent molecule is disordered over two positions), 9b, 11b, 13b and 15b. The structures of 11a, 15a, 11b and 15b form an isotypic set, and those of compounds 10aa and 14a form an isotypic pair. All structures have Z' = 1. The gold(III) centres show square-planar coordination geometry and the chalcogenide atoms show approximately tetrahedral angles (except for the very wide angle in 12a, probably associated with the bulky t-butyl groups). The bond lengths at the gold atoms are lengthened with respect to the known gold(I) derivatives, and demonstrate a considerable trans influence of S and Se donor atoms on a trans Au—Cl bond. Each compound with an isopropyl group shows a short intramolecular contact of the type C—Hmethine⋯Xcis; these may be regarded as intramolecular ‘weak’ hydrogen bonds, and they determine the orientation of the AuX3 groups. The molecular packing is analysed in terms of various short contacts such as weak hydrogen bonds C—H⋯X and contacts between the heavier atoms, such as X⋯X (9a, 10aa, 11aa, 15aa and 9b), S⋯S (10aa, 11a and 12a) and S⋯Cl (10a). The packing of the polymorphs 10a and 10aa is thus quite different. The solvent molecules take part in C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds; for 15aa, a disordered solvent region at z ≃ 0 is observed. Structure 13b involves unusual inversion-symmetric dimers with Se⋯Au and Se⋯Br contacts, further connected by Br⋯Br contacts. Full Article text

The X-ray diffraction study of the compound revealed that the lutetium ion is surrounded by four bis-chelating CAPh ligands, forming the complex anion [LuL4]− with a coordination number of 8[O] for LuIII, while PPh4+ serves as a counter-ion. The coordination geometry around the Lu3+ ion was determined to be a nearly perfect triangular dodecahedron. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/c, with four molecules in the unit cell. Weak hydrogen bonds O⋯HC(Ph), Cl⋯HC(Ph) and N⋯HC(Ph) are formed between the cations and anions. For a comparative study, HL-based structures were retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and their geometries and conformations are discussed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was also performed. Full Article text

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

mid 2-Cyano-2-isonitrosoacetamide–3,4-dimethylpyrazole (1/1): a co-crystal of two molecules with agrochemical activities By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-04 In the structure of the title co-crystal, C3H3N3O2·C5H8N2, the components are linked by a set of directional O—H⋯N, N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to yield a two-dimensional mono-periodic arrangement. The structure propagates in the third dimension by extensive π–π stacking interactions of nearly parallel molecules of the two components, following an alternating sequence. The primary structure-defining interaction is very strong oxime-OH donor to pyrazole-N acceptor hydrogen bond [O⋯N = 2.587 (2) Å], while the significance of weaker hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions is comparable. The distinct structural roles of different kinds of interactions agree with the results of a Hirshfeld surface analysis and calculated interaction energies. The title compound provides insights into co-crystals of active agrochemical molecules and features the rational integration in one structure of a fungicide, C3H3N3O2, and a second active component, C5H8N2, known for alleviation the toxic effects of fungicides on plants. The material appears to be well suited for practical uses, being non-volatile, air-stable, water-soluble, but neither hygroscopic nor efflorescent. Full Article text
mid Crystal structures of trichlorido(4-methylpiperidine)gold(III) and two polymorphs of tribromido(4-methylpiperidine)gold(III) By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-04-18 Trichlorido(4-methylpiperidine)gold(III), [AuCl3(C6H13N)], 1, crystallizes in Pbca with Z = 8. Tribromido(4-methylpiperidine)gold(III), [AuBr3(C6H13N)], 2, crystallizes as two polymorphs, 2a in Pnma with Z = 4 (imposed mirror symmetry) and 2b, which is isotypic to 1. The Au—N bonds trans to Cl are somewhat shorter than those trans to Br, and the Au—Cl bonds trans to N are longer than those cis to N, whereas the Au—Br bonds trans to N are slightly shorter than the cis bonds. The methyl and AuX3 groups (X = halogen) occupy equatorial positions at the six-membered ring. The packing of all three structures involves chains of molecules with offset stacking of the AuX3 moieties associated with short Au⋯X contacts; for 1 and 2b these are reinforced by N—H⋯X hydrogen bonds, whereas for 2a there are no classical hydrogen bonds and the chains are interconnected by Br⋯Br contacts.

mid 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).
