The asymmetric unit of the centrosymmetric title salt, C17H17F6N2O+·C2Cl3O2 -, comprises a single ion-pair. The hy-droxy-O and ammonium-N atoms lie to the same side of the cation, a disposition maintained by a charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) hydrogen bond [the Oh-Cm-Cm-Na (h = hy-droxy, m = methine, a = ammonium) torsion angle is 58.90 (19)°]. The piperidin-1-ium group is approximately perpendicular to the quinolinyl residue [Cq-Cm-Cm-Na (q = quinolin-yl) is -178.90 (15)°] so that the cation, to a first approximation, has the shape of the letter L. The most prominent feature of the supra-molecular association in the crystal is the formation of chains along the a-axis direction, being stabilized by charge-assisted hydrogen-bonds. Thus, ammonium-N+-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds are formed whereby two ammonium cations bridge a pair of carboxyl-ate-O atoms, leading to eight-membered {⋯O⋯HNH}2 synthons. The resulting four-ion aggregates are linked into the supra-molecular chain via charge-assisted hydroxyl-O-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds. The connections between the chains, leading to a three-dimensional architecture, are of the type C-X⋯π, for X = Cl and F. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the importance of X⋯H contacts to the surface (X = F, 25.4% and X = Cl, 19.7%) along with a significant contribution from O⋯H hydrogen-bonds (10.2%). Conversely, H⋯H contacts, at 12.4%, make a relatively small contribution to the surface.
The crystal and mol-ecular structures of the title mol-ecular salts, C4H12NO+·C7H5N2O4 -, (I), C6H16NO+·C7H5N2O4 -, (II), and C4H12NO3 +·C7H5N2O4 -, (III), are described. The common feature of these salts is the presence of the 2-amino-4-nitro-benzoate anion, which exhibit non-chemically significant variations in the conformational relationships between the carboxyl-ate and nitro groups, and between these and the benzene rings they are connected to. The number of ammonium-N-H H atoms in the cations increases from one to three in (I) to (III), respectively, and this variation significantly influences the supra-molecular aggregation patterns in the respective crystals. Thus, a linear supra-molecular chain along [100] sustained by charge-assisted tertiary-ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate), hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) and amino-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen-bonds is apparent in the crystal of (I). Chains are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl-C-H⋯O(hy-droxy) and π-π inter-actions, the latter between benzene rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.5796 (10) Å]. In the crystal of (II), a supra-molecular tube propagating along [901] arises as a result of charge-assisted secondary-ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) and hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen-bonding. These are connected by methyl-ene- and methyl-C-H⋯O(nitro) and π-π stacking between benzene rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.5226 (10) Å]. Finally, double-layers parallel to (100) sustained by charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate), ammonium-N-H⋯O(hy-droxy) and hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen-bonds are apparent in the crystal of (III). These are connected in a three-dimensional architecture by amine-N-H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen-bonds.
The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, 2,2'-thiodi-benzoic acid-tri-phenyl-phosphane oxide (1/2), C14H10O4S·2C18H15OP, comprises two mol-ecules of 2,2'-thiodi-benzoic acid [TDBA; systematic name: 2-[(2-carb-oxy-phen-yl)sulfan-yl]benzoic acid] and four mol-ecules of tri-phenyl-phosphane oxide [TPPO; systematic name: (di-phenyl-phosphor-yl)benzene]. The two TDBA mol-ecules are twisted about their di-sulfide bonds and exhibit dihedral angles of 74.40 (5) and 72.58 (5)° between the planes through the two SC6H4 residues. The carb-oxy-lic acid groups are tilted out of the planes of the rings to which they are attached forming a range of CO2/C6 dihedral angles of 19.87 (6)-60.43 (8)°. Minor conformational changes are exhibited in the TPPO mol-ecules with the range of dihedral angles between phenyl rings being -2.1 (1) to -62.8 (1)°. In the mol-ecular packing, each TDBA acid mol-ecule bridges two TPPO mol-ecules via hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(oxide) hydrogen bonds to form two three-mol-ecule aggregates. These are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by TPPO-C-H⋯O(oxide, carbon-yl) and TDBA-C-H⋯(oxide, carbon-yl) inter-actions. The importance of H⋯H, O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts to the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces has been demonstrated. In terms of individual mol-ecules, O⋯H/H⋯O contacts are more important for the TDBA (ca 28%) than for the TPPO mol-ecules (ca 13%), as expected from the chemical composition of these species. Computational chemistry indicates the four independent hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(oxide) hydrogen bonds in the crystal impart about the same energy (ca 52 kJ mol-1), with DTBA-phenyl-C-H⋯O(oxide) inter-actions being next most stabilizing (ca 40 kJ mol-1).
In the title compound, C26H22N2O2, the dihedral angles between the 1-methyl-indole units (A and B) and the benzoic acid moiety (C) are A/B = 64.87 (7), A/C = 80.92 (8) and B/C = 75.05 (8)°. An intra-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action arising from the methyne group helps to establish the conformation. In the crystal, R22(8) carb-oxy-lic acid inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. A Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that the greatest contributions are from H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C and O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (percentage values = 54.6%, 29.6% and 10.1%, respectively).
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, 2C17H12N2O3·H2O comprises two mol-ecules of (E)-3-(1H-indol-2-yl)-1-(4-nitro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one and a water mol-ecule. The main mol-ecule adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the C=O and C=C bonds. The dihedral angle between the indole ring system and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 37.64 (16)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O--H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains along [010]. In addition, weak C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π inter-actions further link the structure into a three-dimensional network. The optimized structure was generated theoretically via a density functional theory (DFT) approach at the B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis level and the HOMO-LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. The obtained values of 2.70 eV (experimental) and 2.80 eV (DFT) are desirable for optoelectronic applications. The inter-molecular inter-actions were qu-anti-fied and analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
In the title compound, C18H27N3OS, the cyclo-hexane ring has a chair conformation. The azomethine C=N double bond has an E configuration. The nearly planar hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide moiety and substituted benzene ring are twisted by 31.13 (5)° relative to each other. The amide moiety and the cyclo-hexane ring are almost perpendicular to each other; a similar conformation was previously observed in reported structures. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 2(8) ring motif.
The crystal structures of (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-(3H-indol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C25H17NO, and (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-[4-(di-methyl-amino)-naphthalen-1-yl]prop-2-en-1-one, C29H23NO, are reported. In each case the anthracene ring system and pendant ring system are almost perpendicular to each other [dihedral angles = 75.57 (7)° and 70.26 (10)°, respectively]. In the extended structures, weak N-H⋯O, C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions influence the centrosymmetric crystal packing. Density functional theory calculations were carried out using a 6-311 G++(d,p) basis set and the calculated structures are in good agreement with the crystal structures. The compounds were also characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and the smallest (HOMO-LUMO) energy gaps of 2.89 and 2.54 eV indicate the enhanced non-linear responses (inter-molecular charge transfers) of these systems.
The structures of two new anthracenyl chalcones, namely (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-(4-nitro-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C23H15NO3, and (E)-1-(anthracen-9-yl)-3-(4-iodo-phen-yl)prop-2-en-1-one, C23H15IO are reported. A structural comparative study between the two chalcones was performed and some effects on the geometrical parameters, such as planarity and dihedral angles, are described. The mol-ecular geometry was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and density functional theory (DFT) at B3LYP with the 6-311++G(d,p) basis set was applied to optimize the ground-state geometry. In addition, inter-molecular inter-actions responsible for the crystal packing were analysed. The electronic properties, such as excitation energies and HOMO-LUMO energies were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) and the results complement the experimental findings. The mol-ecular electrostatic potential (MEP) was also investigated at the same level of theory in order to identify and qu-antify the possible reactive sites.
The title compound, C16H15N5O2, adopts the shape of the letter L with the dihedral angle between the outer pyridyl rings being 78.37 (5)°; the dihedral angles between the central pyrazolyl ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0023 Å) and the methyl-ene-bound pyridyl and methyoxypyridyl rings are 77.68 (5) and 7.84 (10)°, respectively. Intra-molecular amide-N-H⋯N(pyrazol-yl) and pyridyl-C-H⋯O(amide) inter-actions are evident and these preclude the participation of the amide-N-H and O atoms in inter-molecular inter-actions. The most notable feature of the mol-ecular packing is the formation of linear supra-molecular chains aligned along the b-axis direction mediated by weak carbonyl-C=O⋯π(triazol-yl) inter-actions. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces point to the importance of H⋯H (46.4%), C⋯H (22.4%), O⋯H (11.9%) and N⋯H (11.1%) contacts in the crystal.
The title chalcones, C31H23NO and C35H23NO, were synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt condensation reactions. Both structures were solved and refined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data and optimized at the ground state using the density functional theory (DFT) method with the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. In the crystals, π-π inter-ations and weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed. The effect of these inter-molecular inter-actions in the solid state can be seen by the difference between the experimental and theoretical optimized geometrical parameters. The structures have also been characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. The smallest energy gaps of 2.86 and 2.96 eV enhance the nonlinear responses of such mol-ecular systems. Hirshfeld surface analyses and 2D (two-dimensional) fingerprint plots were used to qu-antify the inter-molecular inter-actions present in the crystal, indicating that these are the most important contribution to the crystal packing.
The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C13H6Cl4OS, consists of a 2,5-di-chloro-thio-phene ring and a 2,4-di-chloro-phenyl ring linked via a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The dihedral angle between the 2,5-di-chloro-thio-phene ring and the 2,4-di-chloro-phenyl ring is 12.24 (15)°. 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 intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl contacts, producing S(6) and S(5) ring motifs. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked along the a-axis direction through face-to-face π-stacking between the thio-phene rings and the benzene rings of the mol-ecules in zigzag sheets lying parallel to the bc plane along the c axis. 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 (20.8%), followed by Cl⋯Cl (18.7%), C⋯C (11.9%), Cl⋯S/S⋯Cl (10.9%), H⋯H (10.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (9.3%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (7.6%).
The title compound, C12H10N4O, comprises a central 1,2,3-triazole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0030 Å) flanked by N-bound 4-cyano-phenyl and C-bound acetyl groups, which make dihedral angles of 54.64 (5) and 6.8 (3)° with the five-membered ring, indicating a twisted mol-ecule. In the crystal, the three-dimensional architecture is sustained by carbonyl-C=O⋯π(triazo-yl), cyano-C≡N⋯π(triazo-yl) (these inter-actions are shown to be attractive based on non-covalent inter-action plots) and π-π stacking inter-actions [inter-centroid separation = 3.9242 (9) Å]. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surface shows the important contributions made by H⋯H (35.9%) and N⋯H (26.2%) contacts to the overall surface, as well as notable contributions by O⋯H (9.9%), C⋯H (8.7%), C⋯C (7.3%) and C⋯N (7.2%) contacts.
The title compounds, C24H18O2 and C24H17FO2, were synthesized using the Claisen-Schmidt condensation method and characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π and π-π hydrogen-bonding inter-actions help to stabilize the crystal structures of both compounds. The geometrical parameters obtained from the mol-ecular structure were optimized using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level, showing a good correlation with the experimental results. The small HOMO-LUMO energy gaps of 3.11 and 3.07 eV enhances the non-linear responses of these mol-ecular systems.
In the title chalcone-thio-phene derivative, C13H6Cl3FOS, the aromatic rings are inclined to one another by 12.9 (2)°, and the thio-phene ring is affected by π-conjugation. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming an R22(8) ring motif. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contribution of the different inter-molecular inter-actions. The shape-index surface clearly shows that the two sides of the mol-ecules are involved in the same contacts with neighbouring mol-ecules and the curvedness plots show flat surface patches characteristic of planar stacking.
In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C17H14BrFO3, the aromatic rings are tilted with respect to the enone bridge by 13.63 (14) and 4.27 (15)°, and form a dihedral angle 17.91 (17)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related mol-ecules are linked by pairs of C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into dimeric units, forming rings of R22(14) graph-set motif. The dimers are further connected by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen inter-actions, forming layers parallel to (10). Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals inter-actions constitute the major contribution to the inter-molecular inter-actions, with H⋯H contacts accounting for 29.7% of the surface.
In title compound, C17H15ClO3, the dihedral angle between the benzene and chloro-phenyl rings is 18.46 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen contacts, enclosing an R22(14) ring motif, and by a further C-H⋯O hydrogen contact, forming a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure extending along the direction parallel to the ac plane. Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals inter-actions constitute the major contribution to the inter-molecular inter-actions, with H⋯H contacts accounting for 36.2% of the surface.
In the cation of the title salt, C17H23N2O+·Br-, the adamantyl moiety and the pyridiniminium ring are inclined to the ketone bridge by torsion angles of -78.1 (2) (C-C-C=O) and 58.3 (2)° (C-C-N-C), respectively, and the ketone bridge has a C-C-C-N torsion angle of 174.80 (15)°. In the crystal, the cations are connected into chains parallel to the c axis by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The chains are further linked into layers parallel to the bc plane by N-H⋯Br and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds, C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π stacking inter-actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.5657 (11) Å]. A Hirshfeld surface analysis, which comprises the dnorm surface, electrostatic potential map and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, was carried out to verify the contribution of the various inter-molecular inter-actions.
In the racemic title mol-ecular salt, C17H17F6N2O+·C2ClF2O3- (systematic name: 2-{[2,8-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)quinolin-4-yl](hy-droxy)meth-yl}piperidin-1-ium chloro-difluoro-acetate), the cation, which is protonated at the piperidine N atom, has the shape of the letter, L, with the piperidin-1-ium group being approximately orthogonal to the quinolinyl residue [the Cq-Cm-Cm-Na (q = quinolinyl; m = methine; a = ammonium) torsion angle is 177.79 (18)°]. An intra-molecular, charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(hydrox-yl) hydrogen bond ensures the hy-droxy-O and ammonium-N atoms lie to the same side of the mol-ecule [Oh-Cm-Cm-Na (h = hydrox-yl) = -59.7 (2)°]. In the crystal, charge-assisted hydroxyl-O-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) and ammonium-N+-H⋯O-(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds generate a supra-molecular chain along [010]; the chain is consolidated by C-H⋯O inter-actions. Links between chains to form supra-molecular layers are of the type C-Cl⋯π(quinolinyl-C6) and the layers thus formed stack along the a-axis direction without directional inter-actions between them. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the dominance of F⋯H contacts to the surface (40.8%) with significant contributions from F⋯F (10.5%) and C⋯F (7.0%) contacts.
In the bis-chalcone mol-ecule of the title compound, C24H18O4·2C3H7NO, the central benzene and terminal hy-droxy-phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 14.28 (11)° and the central C=C double bond adopts a trans configuration. In the crystal, the bis-chalcone and solvate mol-ecules are inter-connected via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Solid-state fluorescence was measured at λex = 4400 Å. The emission wavelength appeared at 5510 Å, which corresponds to yellow light and the solid-state fluorescence quantum yield (Ff) is 0.18.
The title cluster compound, [Ru3(C19H17PS)(CO)11], comprises a triangle of Ru0 atoms, two of which are bonded to four carbonyl ligands. The third metal atom is bound to three carbonyl ligands and the phosphane-P atom of a dissymmetric phosphane ligand, PPh2(C6H4SMe-4); no Ru⋯S inter-actions are observed. The phosphane occupies an equatorial position and its proximity to an Ru-Ru edge results in the elongation of this bond with respect to the others [2.8933 (2) Å cf. 2.8575 (2) and 2.8594 (3) Å]. In the crystal, phenyl-C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and carbonyl-O⋯O(carbon-yl) [2.817 (2) Å] inter-actions combine to form a supra-molecular chain propagating along [111]; the chains pack without directional inter-actions between them. The carbonyl-O⋯O(carbon-yl) and other weak contacts have an influence upon the Hirshfeld surfaces with O⋯H contacts making the greatest contribution, i.e. 37.4% cf. 15.8% for O⋯O and 15.6% for H⋯H contacts.
