The title compound, C15H13BrO2S, comprises three different substituents bound to a central (and chiral) methine-C atom, i.e. (4-bromo-phen-yl)sulfanyl, benzaldehyde and meth-oxy residues: crystal symmetry generates a racemic mixture. A twist in the mol-ecule is evident about the methine-C-C(carbon-yl) bond as evidenced by the O-C-C-O torsion angle of -20.8 (7)°. The dihedral angle between the bromo-benzene 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 supra-molecular chains as a result of methyl- and methine-C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions. The chains assemble into a three-dimensional architecture without directional inter-actions between them. The nature of the weak points of contacts has been probed by a combination of Hirshfeld surface analysis, non-covalent inter-action plots and inter-action energy calculations. These point to the importance of weaker H⋯H and C-H⋯C inter-actions in the consolidation of the structure.
In the title quinoline derivative, C14H14ClNO3, there is an intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond forming an S(6) graph-set motif. The mol-ecule 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-eth-oxy-quinoline mean plane. In the crystal, offset π-π inter-actions with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.4731 (14) Å link inversion-related mol-ecules 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.
In the title bis-chalcone, C17H12Br2O, the olefinic double bonds are almost coplanar with their attached 4-bromo-phenyl 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-bromo-phenyl rings is 51.56 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into a zigzag chain propagating along [001] by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. The conformations of related bis-chalcones are surveyed and a Hirshfeld surface analysis is used to investigate and qu-antify the inter-molecular contacts.
The crystal and mol-ecular structures of C14H12Cl2, (I), and C14H12Br2, (II), are described. The asymmetric unit of (I) comprises two independent mol-ecules, A and B, each disposed about a centre of inversion. Each mol-ecule approximates mirror symmetry [the Cb-Cb-Ce-Ce torsion angles = -83.46 (19) and 95.17 (17)° for A, and -83.7 (2) and 94.75 (19)° for B; b = benzene and e = ethyl-ene]. By contrast, the mol-ecule in (II) is twisted, as seen in the dihedral angle of 59.29 (11)° between the benzene rings cf. 0° in (I). The mol-ecular packing of (I) features benzene-C-H⋯π(benzene) and Cl⋯Cl contacts that lead to an open three-dimensional (3D) architecture that enables twofold 3D-3D inter-penetration. The presence of benzene-C-H⋯π(benzene) and Br⋯Br contacts in the crystal of (II) consolidate the 3D architecture. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces confirm the influence of the benzene-C-H⋯π(benzene) and X⋯X contacts on the mol-ecular packing and show that, to a first approximation, H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C and C⋯X/X⋯C contacts dominate the packing, each contributing about 30% to the overall surface in each of (I) and (II). The analysis also clearly differentiates between the A and B mol-ecules of (I).
The title compound, 2C14H14N4O·H2O, comprises a neutral mol-ecule containing a central pyrazol-3-one ring flanked by an N-bound phenyl group and a C-bound 5-methyl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl group (at positions adjacent to the carbonyl substituent), its zwitterionic tautomer, whereby the N-bound proton of the central ring is now resident on the pendant ring, and a water mol-ecule of crystallization. Besides systematic variations in geometric parameters, the two independent organic mol-ecules have broadly similar conformations, as seen in the dihedral angle between the five-membered rings [9.72 (9)° for the neutral mol-ecule and 3.32 (9)° for the zwitterionic tautomer] and in the dihedral angles between the central and pendant five-membered rings [28.19 (8) and 20.96 (8)° (neutral mol-ecule); 11.33 (9) and 11.81 (9)°]. In the crystal, pyrazolyl-N-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and pyrazolium-N-H⋯N(pyrazol-yl) hydrogen bonds between the independent organic mol-ecules give rise to non-symmetric nine-membered {⋯HNNH⋯NC3O} and {⋯HNN⋯HNC3O} synthons, which differ in the positions of the N-bound H atoms. These aggregates are connected into a supra-molecular layer in the bc plane by water-O-H⋯N(pyrazolide), water-O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and pyrazolyl-N-H⋯O(water) hydrogen bonding. The layers are linked into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) inter-actions. The different inter-actions, in particular the weaker contacts, formed by the organic mol-ecules are clearly evident in the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces, and the calculated electrostatic potentials differentiate the tautomers.
The title compound, C23H15NO3, adopts an s-cis conformation with respect to the ethyl-ene C=C and carbonyl C=O double bonds in the enone unit. The mol-ecule is significantly twisted with a dihedral angle of 48.63 (14)° between the anthracene ring system and the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into inversion dimers with an R 2 2(10) graph-set motif via pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The inter-molecular inter-actions were analysed and qu-anti-fied by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The mol-ecular structure was optimized and a small HOMO-LUMO energy gap of 2.55 eV was obtained using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) level of theory. This value is in close agreement with the experimental value of 2.52 eV obtained from the UV-vis analysis. The crystal used was a two-component merohedral twin with a refined ratio of 0.1996 (16):0.8004 (16).
In the title compound, C18H12O3S2, synthesized by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation method, the essentially planar chalcone unit adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the carbonyl group within the ethyl-enic bridge. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯π inter-actions connect the mol-ecules into zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. The mol-ecular structure was optimized geometrically using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis set level and compared with the experimental values. Mol-ecular orbital calculations providing electron-density plots of HOMO and LUMO mol-ecular orbitals and mol-ecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) were also computed both with the DFT/B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis set. The experimental energy gap is 3.18 eV, whereas the theoretical HOMO-LUMO energy gap value is 2.73 eV. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to further investigate the weak inter-actions present.
In the title compound, C10H13N3OS, the azomethine C=N double bond has an E configuration. The phenyl ring and methyl-hydrazine carbo-thio-amide moiety [maximum deviation = 0.008 (2) Å] are twisted slightly with a dihedral angle of 14.88 (10)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into sheets parallel to the ab plane via N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π inter-actions.
The asymmetric unit of the three-component title compound, 2,2'-di-thiodi-benzoic acid-2-chloro-benzoic acid-N,N-di-methyl-formamide (1/1/1), C14H10O4S2·C7H5ClO2·C3H7NO, contains a mol-ecule each of 2,2'-di-thiodi-benzoic acid (DTBA), 2-chloro-benzoic acid (2CBA) and di-methyl-formamide (DMF). The DTBA mol-ecule is twisted [the C-S-S-C torsion angle is 88.37 (17)°] and each carb-oxy-lic group is slightly twisted from the benzene ring to which it is connected [CO2/C6 dihedral angles = 7.6 (3) and 12.5 (3)°]. A small twist is evident in the mol-ecule of 2CBA [CO2/C6 dihedral angle = 4.4 (4)°]. In the crystal, the three mol-ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds with the two carb-oxy-lic acid residues derived from DTBA and 2CBA forming a non-symmetric eight-membered {⋯HOCO}2 synthon, and the second carb-oxy-lic acid of DTBA linked to the DMF mol-ecule via a seven-membered {⋯HOCO⋯HCO} heterosynthon. The three-mol-ecule aggregates are connected into a supra-molecular chain along the a axis via DTBA-C-H⋯O(hydroxyl-2CBA), 2CBA-C-H⋯O(hydroxyl-DTBA) and DTBA-C-H⋯S(DTBA) inter-actions. Supra-molecular layers in the ab plane are formed as the chains are linked via DMF-C-H⋯S(DTBA) contacts, and these inter-digitate along the c-axis direction without specific points of contact between them. A Hirshfeld surface analysis points to additional but, weak contacts to stabilize the three-dimensional architecture: DTBA-C=O⋯H(phenyl-DTBA), 2CBA-Cl⋯H(phenyl-DTBA), as well as a π-π contact between the delocalized eight-membered {⋯HOC=O}2 carb-oxy-lic dimer and the phenyl ring of 2CBA. The latter was confirmed by electrostatic potential (ESP) mapping.
In the redetermination of the title compound, C3H5N2OS+·CI-, the asymmetric unit consists of one independent 2-oxo-1,3-thia-zolidin-4-iminium cation and one independent chloride anion. The cation inter-acts with a chloride anion via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds forming a supra-molecular chain along [010]. These supra-molecular chains are further extended by weak C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). The crystal structure is further stabilized by weak C-O⋯π inter-actions, supporting a three-dimensional architecture. The structure was previously determined by Ananthamurthy & Murthy [Z. Kristallogr. (1975). 8, 356-367] but has been redetermined with higher precision to allow the hydrogen-bonding patterns and supra-molecular inter-actions to be investigated.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H11N3O2S2, comprises two independent mol-ecules (A and B); the crystal structure was determined by employing synchrotron radiation. The mol-ecules exhibit essentially the same features with an almost planar benzo-thia-zole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.026 and 0.009 Å for A and B, respectively), which forms an inclined dihedral angle with the phenyl ring [28.3 (3) and 29.1 (3)°, respectively]. A difference between the mol-ecules is noted in a twist about the N-S bonds [the C-S-N-N torsion angles = -56.2 (5) and -68.8 (5)°, respectively], which leads to a minor difference in orientation of the phenyl rings. In the mol-ecular packing, A and B are linked into a supra-molecular dimer via pairwise hydrazinyl-N-H⋯N(thiazol-yl) hydrogen bonds. Hydrazinyl-N-H⋯O(sulfon-yl) hydrogen bonds between A mol-ecules assemble the dimers into chains along the a-axis direction, while links between centrosymmetrically related B mol-ecules, leading to eight-membered {⋯HNSO}2 synthons, link the mol-ecules along [001]. The result is an undulating supra-molecular layer. Layers stack along the b-axis direction with benzo-thia-zole-C-H⋯O(sulfon-yl) points of contact being evident. The analyses of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces confirm the relevance of the above inter-molecular inter-actions, but also serve to further differentiate the weaker inter-molecular inter-actions formed by the independent mol-ecules, such as π-π inter-actions. This is also highlighted in distinctive energy frameworks calculated for the individual mol-ecules.
The title compound, C16H18N2O3, is constructed about a central oxopyridazinyl ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0047 Å), which is connected to an ethyl-acetate group at the N atom closest to the carbonyl group, and benzyl and methyl groups second furthest and furthest from the carbonyl group, respectively. An approximately orthogonal relationship exists between the oxopyridazinyl ring and the best plane through the ethyl-acetate group [dihedral angle = 77.48 (3)°]; the latter lies to one side of the central plane [the Nr-Nr-Cm-Cc (r = ring, m = methyl-ene, c = carbon-yl) torsion angle being 104.34 (9)°]. In the crystal, both H atoms of the N-bound methyl-ene group form methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(ring carbon-yl) or N(pyridazin-yl) inter-actions, resulting in the formation of a supra-molecular tape along the a-axis direction. The tapes are assembled into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl- and phenyl-C-H⋯O(ring carbon-yl) and phenyl-C-H⋯O(ester carbon-yl) inter-actions. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface indicates the dominance of H⋯H contacts to the overall surface (i.e. 52.2%). Reflecting other identified points of contact between mol-ecules noted above, O⋯H/H⋯O (23.3%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.7%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (6.6%) contacts also make significant contributions to the surface.
The analysis of atom-to-atom and/or residue-to-residue contacts remains a favoured mode of analysing the mol-ecular packing in crystals. In this contribution, additional tools are highlighted as methods for analysis in order to complement the 'crystallographer's tool', PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148-155]. Thus, a brief outline of the procedures and what can be learned by using Crystal Explorer [Spackman & Jayatilaka (2009). CrystEngComm11, 19-23] is presented. Attention is then directed towards evaluating the nature, i.e. attractive/weakly attractive/repulsive, of specific contacts employing NCIPLOT [Johnson et al. (2010). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 132, 6498-6506]. This is complemented by a discussion of the calculation of energy frameworks utilizing the latest version of Crystal Explorer. All the mentioned programs are free of charge and straightforward to use. More importantly, they complement each other to give a more complete picture of how mol-ecules assemble in mol-ecular crystals.
In the title chalcone derivative, C15H9BrCl2O, the aryl rings are inclined to each by 14.49 (17)°, and the configuration about the C=C bond is E. There is a short intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contact present resulting in the formation of an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the shortest inter-molecular contacts are Cl⋯O contacts [3.173 (3) Å] that link the mol-ecules to form a 21 helix propagating along the b-axis direction. The helices stack up the short crystallographic a axis, and are linked by offset π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.983 (1) Å], forming layers lying parallel to the ab plane. A qu-anti-fication of the inter-molecular contacts in the crystal were estimated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.
The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C13H7Cl3OS, consists of a 2,5- di-chloro-thio-phene ring and a 2-chloro-phenyl ring linked via a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The dihedral angle between the 2,5-di-chloro-thio-phene and 2-chloro-phenyl rings is 9.69 (12)°. The mol-ecule has an E configuration about the C=C bond and the carbonyl group is syn with respect to the C=C bond. The mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by two intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contacts and one intra-molecular C-H⋯O contact, forming S(5)S(5)S(6) ring motifs. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked along the a-axis direction through van der Waals forces and along the b axis by face-to-face π-stacking between the thio-phene rings and between the benzene rings of neighbouring mol-ecules, forming corrugated sheets lying parallel to the bc plane. The inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were further analysed using Hirshfield surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are Cl⋯H/ H⋯Cl (28.6%), followed by C⋯H/H⋯C (11.9%), C⋯C (11.1%), H⋯H (11.0%), Cl⋯Cl (8.1%), O⋯H/H⋯O (8.0%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (6.6%).
A new polymorphic form of the title compound, C8H8O3, is described in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P21/c with Z' = 1 as compared to the first polymorph, which crystallizes with two conformers (Z' = 2) in the asymmetric unit in the same space group. In the crystal of the second polymorph, inversion dimers linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur and these are linked into zigzag chains, propagating along the b-axis direction by C-H⋯O links. The crystal structure also features a weak π-π inter-action, with a centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.8018 (6) Å. The second polymorph of the title compound is less stable than the reported first polymorph, as indicated by its smaller calculated lattice energy.
The asymmetric unit of the title 1:2 co-crystal, C14H10O4S2·2C7H6O2, comprises half a mol-ecule of di-thiodi-benzoic acid [systematic name: 2-[(2-carb-oxy-phen-yl)disulfan-yl]benzoic acid, DTBA], as the mol-ecule is located about a twofold axis of symmetry, and a mol-ecule of benzoic acid (BA). The DTBA mol-ecule is twisted about the di-sulfide bond [the C-S-S-C torsion angle is -83.19 (8)°] resulting in a near perpendicular relationship between the benzene rings [dihedral angle = 71.19 (4)°]. The carb-oxy-lic acid group is almost co-planar with the benzene ring to which it is bonded [dihedral angle = 4.82 (12)°]. A similar near co-planar relationship pertains for the BA mol-ecule [dihedral angle = 3.65 (15)°]. Three-mol-ecule aggregates are formed in the crystal whereby two BA mol-ecules are connected to a DTBA mol-ecule via hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds and eight-membered {⋯HOC=O}2 synthons. These are connected into a supra-molecular layer in the ab plane through C-H⋯O inter-actions. The inter-actions between layers to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are π-π stacking inter-actions between DTBA and BA rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.8093 (10) Å] and parallel DTBA-hy-droxy-O⋯π(BA) contacts [O⋯ring centroid separation = 3.9049 (14) Å]. The importance of the specified inter-actions as well as other weaker contacts, e.g. π-π and C-H⋯S, are indicated in the analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface and inter-action energies.
The mol-ecular structure of the title chalcone derivative, C15H10FNO3, is nearly planar and the mol-ecule adopts a trans configuration with respect to the C=C double bond. The nitro group is nearly coplanar with the attached benzene ring, which is nearly parallel to the second benzene ring. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected by pairs of weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked by another C-H⋯O hydrogen bond and a C-H⋯F hydrogen bond into sheets parallel to (104). π-π inter-actions occur between the sheets, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.8860 (11) Å. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate and qu-antify the inter-molecular inter-actions.
The asymmetric unit of the title halogenated chalcone derivative, C15H10BrFO, contains two independent mol-ecules, both adopting an s-cis configuration with respect to the C=O and C=C bonds. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked into dimers via inter-molecular hydrogen bonds, forming rings with R 1 2(6), R 2 2(10) and R 2 2(14) graph-set motifs. The dimers are further connected by C-H⋯O inter-actions into chains parallel to [001]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis suggests that the most significant contribution to the crystal packing is by H⋯H contacts (26.3%). Calculations performed on the optimized structure obtained using density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP with the 6-311 G++(d,p) basis set reveal that the HOMO-LUMO energy gap is 4.12 eV, indicating the suitability of this crystal for optoelectronic and biological applications. The nucleophilic and electrophilic binding site regions are elucidated using the mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP).
In this study, a new monoclinic polymorph (space group C2/c) of 2,2'-methyl-enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione), C17H10N2O4, is reported and compared to the previously reported triclinic polymorph (space group P ). Similarly, both polymorphs consist of a unique mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 1). The mol-ecular conformations of the two polymorphs are very similar, as shown by the r.m.s. deviation of 0.368 Å (excluding all H atoms). The inter-molecular inter-actions of both polymorphs are described along with the Hirshfeld surface analysis, and the lattice energies are calculated.
