of Crystal structure of poly[[[μ4-3-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane-1-carboxylato-κ5N1:N2:O1:O1,O1']silver(I)] dihydrate] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-12 The heterobifunctional organic ligand, 3-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)adamantane-1-carboxylate (tr-ad-COO−), was employed for the synthesis of the title silver(I) coordination polymer, {[Ag(C13H16N3O2)]·2H2O}n, crystallizing in the rare orthorhombic C2221 space group. Alternation of the double μ2-1,2,4-triazole and μ2-η2:η1-COO− (chelating, bridging mode) bridges between AgI cations supports the formation of sinusoidal coordination chains. The AgI centers possess a distorted {N2O3} square-pyramidal arrangement with τ5 = 0.30. The angular organic linkers connect the chains into a tetragonal framework with small channels along the c-axis direction occupied by water molecules of crystallization, which are interlinked via O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with carboxylate groups, leading to right- and left-handed helical dispositions.

of Crystal structure of poly[[(μ3-hydroxido-κ3O:O:O)(μ3-selenato-κ3O1:O2:O3)tris[μ3-2-(1,2,4-triazol-4-yl)acetato-κ3N1:N2:O]tricopper(II)] dihydrate] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-16 The title coordination polymer, {[Cu3(C4H4N3O9)3(SeO4)(OH)]·2H2O}n or ([Cu3(μ3-OH)(trgly)3(SeO4)]·2H2O), crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The three independent Cu2+ cations adopt distorted square-pyramidal geometries with {O2N2+O} polyhedra. The three copper centres are bridged by a μ3-OH anion, leading to a triangular [Cu3(μ3-OH)] core. 2-(1,2,4-Triazol-4-yl)acetic acid (trgly-H) acts in a deprotonated form as a μ3-κ3N1:N2:O ligand. The three triazolyl groups bridge three copper centres of the hydroxo-cluster in an N1:N2 mode, thus supporting the triangular geometry. The [Cu3(μ3-OH)(tr)3] clusters serve as secondary building units (SBUs). Each SBU can be regarded as a six-connected node, which is linked to six neighbouring triangles through carboxylate groups, generating a two-dimensional uninodal (3,6) coordination network. The selenate anion is bound in a μ3-κ3O1:O2:O3 fashion to the trinuclear copper platform. The [Cu3(OH)(trgly)3(SeO4)] coordination layers and guest water molecules are linked together by numerous O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to a three-dimensional structure. Full Article text

The pyradizine ring is oriented at dihedral angles of 9.23 (6) and 12.98 (9)° with respect to the pyridine rings, while the dihedral angle between the two pyridine rings is 13.45 (10)°. In the crystal, O—Hwater⋯Opyran, O—Hwater⋯Omethoxymethyl and O—Hwater⋯Npyridazine hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along [010]. In addition, weak C—Hdioxolo⋯Odioxolo hydrogen bonds and a weak C—Hmethoxymethyl⋯π interaction complete the three-dimensional structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (55.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (14.6%), H⋯O/O⋯H (14.5%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (9.6%) interactions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Electrochemical measurements are also reported. Full Article text

The NiII ions are in a square-pyramidal (CN5) coordination, with four porphyrin N atoms in the equatorial and a pyridine N atom in the apical position and are shifted out of the porphyrine N4 plane towards the coordinating pyridine N atom. The pyridine substituent is not exactly perpendicular to the N4 plane with an angle of intersection between the planes planes of 80.48 (6)°. The dichloromethane solvent molecules are hydrogen bonded to one of the four porphyrine N atoms. Two complexes are linked into dimers by two symmetry-equivalent C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. These dimers are closely packed, leading to cavities in which additional dichloromethane solvent molecules are embedded. These solvent molecules are disordered and because no reasonable split model was found, the data were corrected for disordered solvent using the PLATON SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18]. Full Article text
of Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-3-[(4-chlorobenzylidene)amino]-5-phenylthiazolidin-2-iminium bromide By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-12 The title salt, C16H15ClN3S+·Br−, is isotypic with (E)-3-[(4-fluorobenzylidene)amino]-5-phenylthiazolidin-2-iminium bromide [Khalilov et al. (2019). Acta Cryst. E75, 662–666]. In the cation of the title salt, the atoms of the phenyl ring attached to the central thiazolidine ring and the atom joining the thiazolidine ring to the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites with occupancies of 0.570 (3) and 0.430 (3). The major and minor components of the disordered thiazolidine ring adopt slightly distorted envelope conformations, with the C atom bearing the phenyl ring as the flap atom. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related cations and anions are linked into dimeric units via N—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, which are further connected by weak C—H⋯Br contacts into chains parallel to the a axis. Furthermore, not existing in the earlier report of (E)-3-[(4-fluorobenzylidene)amino]-5-phenylthiazolidin-2-iminium bromide, C—H⋯π interactions and π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.897 (2) Å] between the major components of the disordered phenyl ring contribute to the stabilization of the molecular packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (30.5%), Br⋯H/H⋯Br (21.2%), C⋯H/H⋯C (19.2%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (13.0%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (5.0%) interactions.

Hybrid salt (I) crystallizes in the space group P21/n with two [L]2[CdI4] molecules in the asymmetric unit related by pseudosymmetry. In the crystal of (I), layers of organic cations and of tetrahalometallate anions are stacked parallel to the ab plane. Antiparallel L+ cations disposed in a herring-bone pattern form π-bonded chains through aromatic stacking. In the inorganic layer, adjacent tetrahedral CdI4 units have no connectivity but demonstrate close packing of iodide anions. In the crystal lattice of (II), the cations are arranged in stacks propagating along the a axis; the one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded polymer built of chloride ions and water molecules runs parallel to a column of stacked cations.

Aromatic rings form dihedral angles of 60.9 (2) and 64.1 (2)°, respectively. Molecules are linked through weak X⋯Cl contacts [X = Br for (I) and Cl for (II)], C—H⋯Cl and C—Cl⋯π interactions into sheets parallel to the ab plane. Additional van der Waals interactions consolidate the three-dimensional packing. Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structures indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing for (I) are from C⋯H/H⋯C (16.1%), O⋯H/H⋯O (13.1%), Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (12.7%), H⋯H (11.4%), Br⋯H/H⋯Br (8.9%), N⋯H/H⋯N (6.9%) and Cl⋯C/C⋯Cl (6.6%) interactions, and for (II), from Cl⋯H / H⋯Cl (21.9%), C⋯H/H⋯C (15.3%), O⋯H/H⋯O (13.4%), H⋯H (11.5%), Cl⋯C/C⋯Cl (8.3%), N⋯H/H⋯N (7.0%) and Cl⋯Cl (5.9%) interactions.

of The crystal structures of {LnCu5}3+ (Ln = Gd, Dy and Ho) 15-metallacrown-5 complexes and a reevaluation of the isotypic EuIII analogue By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-19 Three new isotypic heteropolynuclear complexes, namely pentaaquacarbonatopentakis(glycinehydroxamato)nitratopentacopper(II)lanthanide(III) x-hydrate, [LnCu5(GlyHA)5(CO3)(NO3)(H2O)5]·xH2O (GlyHA2− is glycinehydroxamate, N-hydroxyglycinamidate or aminoacetohydroxamate, C2H4N2O22−), with lanthanide(III) (LnIII) = gadolinium (Gd, 1, x = 3.5), dysprosium (Dy, 2, x = 3.28) and holmium (Ho, 3, x = 3.445), within a 15-metallacrown-5 class were obtained on reaction of lanthanide(III) nitrate, copper(II) acetate and sodium glycinehydroxamate. Complexes 1–3 contain five copper(II) ions and five bridging GlyHA2− anions, forming a [CuGlyHA]5 metallamacrocyclic core. The LnIII ions are coordinated to the metallamacrocycle through five O-donor hydroxamates. The electroneutrality of complexes 1–3 is achieved by a bidentate carbonate anion coordinated to the LnIII ion and a monodentate nitrate anion coordinated apically to one of the copper(II) ions of the metallamacrocycle. The lattice parameters of complexes 1–3 are similar to those previously reported for an EuIII–CuII 15-metallacrown-5 complex with glycinehydroxamate of proposed composition [EuCu5(GlyHA)5(OH)(NO3)2(H2O)4]·3.5H2O [Stemmler et al. (1999). Inorg. Chem. 38, 2807–2817]. High-quality X-ray data obtained for 1–3 have allowed a re-evaluation of the X-ray data solution proposed earlier for the EuCu5 complex and suggest that the formula is actually [EuCu5(GlyHA)5(CO3)(NO3)(H2O)5]·3.5H2O.

The whole molecules are generated by application of inversion symmetry. The H2Br2tp molecule is not planar, with the dibromobenzene ring system inclined by a dihedral angle of 18.62 (3)° to the carboxylic group. In the crystal, the H2Br2tp and EG molecules are linked into sheets propagating parallel to (overline{1}01) through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thereby forming R44 (12) and R44 (28) graph-set motifs. Br⋯O and weak π–π stacking interactions are also observed. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to confirm the existence of these interactions. Full Article text

of Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a new dithioglycoluril: 1,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-3a-methyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dithione By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-06 In the title dithioglycoluril derivative, C19H20N4O3S2, there is a difference in the torsion angles between the thioimidazole moiety and the methoxyphenyl groups on either side of the molecule [C—N—Car—Car = 116.9 (2) and −86.1 (3)°, respectively]. The N—C—N bond angle on one side of the dithioglycoluril moiety is slightly smaller compared to that on the opposite side, [110.9 (2)° cf. 112.0 (2)°], probably as a result of the steric effect of the methyl group. In the crystal, N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules to form chains propagating along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are then linked by C—H⋯π interactions, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate the molecular interactions in the crystal. Full Article text

of Synthesis and crystal structure of 1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-16 Imidazolium salts are common building blocks for functional materials and in the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) as σ-donor ligands for stable metal complexes. The title salt, 1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride (IOH·Cl), C15H13N2O2+·Cl−, is a new imidazolium salt with a hydroxy functionality. The synthesis of IOH·Cl was achieved in high yield via a two-step procedure involving a diazabutadiene precursor followed by ring closure using trimethylchlorosilane and paraformaldehyde. The structure of IOH·Cl consists of a central planar imidazolium ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0015 Å), with out-of-plane phenolic side arms. The dihedral angles between the 4-hydroxyphenyl substituents and the imidazole ring are 55.27 (7) and 48.85 (11)°. In the crystal, O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds connect the distal hydroxy groups and Cl− anions in adjacent asymmetric units, one related by inversion (−x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1) and one by the n-glide (x − {1over 2}, −y + {1over 2}, z − {1over 2}), with donor–acceptor distances of 2.977 (2) and 3.0130 (18) Å, respectively. The phenolic rings are each π–π stacked with their respective inversion-related [(−x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1) and (−x, −y + 1, −z + 1)] counterparts, with interplanar distances of 3.560 (3) and 3.778 (3) Å. The only other noteworthy intermolecular interaction is an O⋯O (not hydrogen bonded) close contact of 2.999 (3) Å between crystallographically different hydroxy O atoms on translationally adjacent molecules (x + 1, y, x + 1).

of Crystal structure and magnetic properties of bis[butyltris(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)borato]iron(II) By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-20 The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C13H18BN6)2], contains two half independent complex molecules. In each complex, the FeII atom is located on an inversion center and is surrounded by two scorpionate ligand butyltris(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)borate molecules that coordinate to the iron(II) ion through the N atoms of the pyrazole groups. The two independent complex molecules differ essentially in the conformation of the butyl substituents. In the crystal, the complex molecules are linked by a series of C—H⋯π interactions, which generate a supramolecular three-dimensional structure. At 120 K, the average Fe—N bond distance is 1.969 Å, indicating the low-spin state of the iron(II) atom, which does not change upon heating, as demonstrated by high-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements.

of Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and interaction energy and DFT studies of 4-[(prop-2-en-1-yloxy)methyl]-3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyridazine By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-20 The title compound, C18H16N4O, consists of a 3,6-bis(pyridin-2-yl)pyridazine moiety linked to a 4-[(prop-2-en-1-yloxy)methyl] group. The pyridine-2-yl rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 17.34 (4)° and are rotated slightly out of the plane of the pyridazine ring. In the crystal, C—HPyrd⋯NPyrdz (Pyrd = pyridine and Pyrdz = pyridazine) hydrogen bonds and C—HPrpoxy⋯π (Prpoxy = prop-2-en-1-yloxy) interactions link the molecules, forming deeply corrugated layers approximately parallel to the bc plane and stacked along the a-axis direction. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (48.5%), H⋯C/C⋯H (26.0%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (17.1%) contacts, hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions being the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the C—HPyrd⋯NPyrdz hydrogen-bond energy is 64.3 kJ mol−1. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state.

of Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of lapachol acetate 80 years after its first synthesis By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-19 Lapachol acetate [systematic name: 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1,4-dioxonaphthalen-2-yl acetate], C17H16O4, was prepared using a modified high-yield procedure and its crystal structure is reported for the first time 80 years after its first synthesis. The full spectroscopic characterization of the molecule is reported. The molecular conformation shows little difference with other lapachol derivatives and lapachol itself. The packing is directed by intermolecular π–π and C—H⋯O interactions, as described by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The former interactions make the largest contributions to the total packing energy in a ratio of 2:1 with respect to the latter. Full Article text

This compound with a triterpenoid structure, now confirmed by this study, played an important role in the determination of the structure of lanosterol. The molecules pack in linear O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded chains along the short axis (b), while parallel chains display weak van der Waals interactions that explain the needle-shaped crystal morphology. The structure exhibits disorder of the flexible methylheptane chain at one end of the main molecule with a small void around it. Crystals of the compounds were resistant to data collection for decades with the available cameras and Mo Kα radiation single-crystal diffractometer in our laboratory until a new instrument with Cu Kα radiation operating at 100 K allowed the structure to be solved and refined.

of Crystal structure of tetramethylammonium 1,1,7,7-tetracyanohepta-2,4,6-trienide By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-23 The title compound, C4H12N+·C11H5N4−, contains one tetramethylammonium cation and one 1,1,7,7-tetracyanohepta-2,4,6-trienide anion in the asymmetric unit. The anion is in an all-trans conjugated C=C bonds conformation. Two terminal C(CN)2 dinitrile moieties are slightly twisted from the polymethine main chain to which they are attached [C(CN)2/C5 dihedral angles = 6.1 (2) and 7.1 (1)°]. The C—C bond distances along the heptadienyl chain vary in the narrow range 1.382 (2)–1.394 (2) Å, thus indicating the significant degree of conjugation. In the crystal, the anions are linked into zigzag chains along the [10overline{1}] direction by C—H⋯N(nitrile) short contacts. The antiparallel chains stack along the [110] direction with alternating separations between the neighboring anions in stacks of 3.291 and 3.504 Å. The C—H⋯N short contacts and stacking interactions combine to link the anions into layers parallel to the (overline{1}01) plane and separated by columns of tetramethylammonium cations.

In the crystal, very weak C—H⋯N and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. To further analyse the intermolecular interactions, a Hirshfeld surface analysis, as well as interaction energy calculations, were performed. Full Article text

of Crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of (E)-N'-benzylidene-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide and the disordered hemi-DMSO solvate of (E)-2-oxo-N'-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide: lattice ene By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-03 The crystal structures of the disordered hemi-DMSO solvate of (E)-2-oxo-N'-(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzylidene)-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide, C20H18N2O6·0.5C2H6OS, and (E)-N'-benzylidene-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carbohydrazide, C17H12N2O3 (4: R = C6H5), are discussed. The non-hydrogen atoms in compound [4: R = (3,4,5-MeO)3C6H2)] exhibit a distinct curvature, while those in compound, (4: R = C6H5), are essential coplanar. In (4: R = C6H5), C—H⋯O and π–π intramolecular interactions combine to form a three-dimensional array. A three-dimensional array is also found for the hemi-DMSO solvate of [4: R = (3,4,5-MeO)3C6H2], in which the molecules of coumarin are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions, and form tubes into which the DMSO molecules are cocooned. Hirshfeld surface analyses of both compounds are reported, as are the lattice energy and intermolecular interaction energy calculations of compound (4: R = C6H5). Full Article text
of Crystal structure of (1S,2R)-2-[(3R,4S)-3-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-2-yl]-1,2-diphenylethanol By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-03 The synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound, C30H29NO, are described. This compound is a member of the chiral dihydroisoquinoline-derived family, used as building blocks for functional materials and as source of chirality in asymmetric synthesis, and was isolated as one of two diastereomeric β-amino alcohols, the title molecule being found to be the (S,R) diastereoisomer. In the crystal, molecules are packed in a herringbone manner parallel to (103) and (10overline{3}) via weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(ring) interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis showed that the surface contacts are predominantly H⋯H interactions (ca 75%). The crystal studied was refined as a two-component inversion twin. Full Article text
of Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-hydroxy-7-methoxy-1,8-bis(2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyl)naphthalene By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-10 In the title compound, C25H12Cl6O4, the two carbonyl groups are oriented in a same direction with respect to the naphthalene ring system and are situated roughly parallel to each other, while the two 2,4,6-trichlorobenzene rings are orientated in opposite directions with respect to the naphthalene ring system: the carbonyl C—(C=O)—C planes subtend dihedral angles of 45.54 (15) and 30.02 (15)° to the naphthalene ring system are. The dihedral angles formed by the carbonyl groups and the benzene rings show larger differences, the C=O vectors being inclined to the benzene rings by 46.39 (16) and 79.78 (16)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, no effective intermolecular hydrogen bonds are found; instead, O⋯Cl and C⋯Cl close contacts are observed along the 21 helical-axis direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals several weak interactions, the major contributor being Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts. Full Article text
of Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and interaction energy and DFT studies of 2-chloroethyl 2-oxo-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-06 The title compound, C15H12ClNO3, consists of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylate unit with 2-chloroethyl and propynyl substituents, where the quinoline moiety is almost planar and the propynyl substituent is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane. In the crystal, the molecules form zigzag stacks along the a-axis direction through slightly offset π-stacking interactions between inversion-related quinoline moieties which are tied together by intermolecular C—HPrpnyl⋯OCarbx and C—HChlethy⋯OCarbx (Prpnyl = propynyl, Carbx = carboxylate and Chlethy = chloroethyl) hydrogen bonds. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (29.9%), H⋯O/O⋯H (21.4%), H⋯C/C⋯ H (19.4%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (16.3%) and C⋯C (8.6%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the C—HPrpnyl⋯OCarbx and C—HChlethy⋯OCarbx hydrogen bond energies are 67.1 and 61.7 kJ mol−1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(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. Full Article text
