The title ZnII complex, [Zn(C19H20N3OS)2] {systematic name: bis-[(N-ethyl-N'-{(Z)-[(2E)-3-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-yl-idene]amino}-carb-am-im-id-o-yl)sulfanido]zinc(II)}, features a tetra-hedrally coordinated ZnII ion within an N2S2 donor set provided by two N,S-chelating thio-semicarbazone anions. The resulting five-membered Zn,C,N2,S chelate rings adopt different conformations, i.e. almost planar and an envelope with the Zn atom being the flap atom. The configuration about the imine bond within the chelate ring is Z but those about the exocyclic imine and ethyl-ene bonds are E. In the crystal, supra-molecular [100] chains mediated by thio-amide-N-H⋯S(thione) hydrogen bonds and eight-membered thio-amide {⋯HNCS}2 synthons are observed. A range of inter-actions, including C-H⋯O, C-H⋯π, C-H⋯π(chelate ring) and π(meth-oxy-benzene)-π(chelate ring) consolidate the packing. The Hirshfeld surface analysis performed on the title complex also indicates the influence of the inter-actions involving the chelate rings upon the packing along with the more conventional contacts.
The crystal and mol-ecular structures of two tri-phenyl-tin di-thio-carbamate compounds, viz. [Sn(C6H5)3(C8H16NS2)], (I), and [Sn(C6H5)3(C10H12NS2)], (II), are described. The di-thio-carbamate ligand in each mol-ecule coordinates in an asymmetric fashion resulting in heavily distorted tetra-hedral C3S coordin-ation geometries for the Sn atoms, with the distortions traced to the close approach of the non-coordinating thione-S atom. The mol-ecular packing in both compounds features C-H⋯π(Sn-phen-yl) inter-actions. In (I), the donors are Sn-phenyl-C-H groups leading to centrosymmetric aggregates, while in (II), the donors are both Sn-phenyl-C-H and methyl-C-H groups leading to supra-molecular chains propagating along the b axis. The identified aggregates assemble into their respective crystals with no directional inter-actions between them. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces show distinctive patterns, but an overwhelming predominance (>99% in each case) of H⋯H, C⋯H/H⋯C and S⋯H/H⋯S contacts on the respective Hirshfeld surface.
The title disubstituted thio-urea derivative, C10H14N4S, features an almost planar imine (E configuration, C3N) core flanked by thio-urea (CN2S) and methyl-pyridyl (C5N) residues (each plane has a r.m.s. deviation of the respective fitted atoms of 0.0066 Å). The dihedral angles between the core and the thio-urea and pyridyl residues are 20.25 (8) and 7.60 (9)°, respectively, indicating twists in the mol-ecule; the dihedral angle between the outer planes is 13.62 (7)°. There is an anti-disposition of the amine-N-H atoms which allows for the formation of an intra-molecular amine-N-H⋯N(imine) hydrogen bond that closes an S(5) loop. In the crystal, amine-N-H⋯N(pyrid-yl) hydrogen bonds lead to zigzag (glide symmetry) supra-molecular chains along the c-axis direction. These are connected into a supra-molecular layer propagating in the bc plane by thio-amide-N-H⋯S(thione) hydrogen bonds via eight-membered thio-amide {⋯HNCS}2 synthons.
In the title indole derivative, C17H15NO4S, the fused dioxolo-indole system is essentially planar [r.m.s. deviation of the 12 fitted atoms = 0.0249 Å] and is effectively perpendicular to the appended 4-tolyl ring, forming a dihedral angle of 89.95 (6)°. Overall, the mol-ecule has the shape of the letter L. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers in the ab plane are formed via weak 4-tolyl-C-H⋯π(C6-ring of indole) and S-O⋯π(1,3-dioxole) contacts. The aforementioned inter-actions along with inter-atomic H⋯H and H⋯O contacts are all shown to make significant contributions to the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces.
The title compound, C28H24N2O3, is a flexible Schiff base, having a dihedral angle of 59.53 (5)° between the mean planes of two phenyl rings bounded in the centre by a single O atom. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the phenyl rings bonded to the central O atom and the mean planes of the terminal methyl-phenol rings are 31.47 (6) and 36.03 (5)°, respectively. The sp2-hybridized character of the azanylylidene groups is confirmed by their bond lengths and bond angles. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked into centrosymmetric dimers by weak C-H⋯N inter-actions and connected into dimeric chains through weak C-H⋯O inter-actions. These chains are inter-connected into a two-dimensional network parallel to (1[Formula: see text]1) via weak C-H⋯π inter-actions.
The title chalcone compounds, C27H18O (I) and C33H20O (II), were synthesized using a Claisen-Schmidt condensation. Both compounds display an s-trans configuration of the enone moiety. The crystal structures feature inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π inter-actions. Quantum chemical analysis of density functional theory (DFT) with a B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set has been employed to study the structural properties of the compound. The effect of the inter-molecular inter-actions in the solid state are responsible for the differences between the experimental and theoretical optimized geometrical parameters. The small HOMO-LUMO energy gap in (I) (exp : 3.18 eV and DFT: 3.15 eV) and (II) (exp : 2.76 eV and DFT: 2.95 eV) indicates the suitability of these compounds for optoelectronic applications. The inter-molecular contacts and weak contributions to the supra-molecular stabilization are analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis.
In the solid state, the title compound, C18H13N5O, adopts a conformation whereby the phenyl ring and meth-oxy-benzene-1,2-dicarbo-nitrile residue (r.m.s. deviation of the 12 non-H atoms = 0.041 Å) lie to opposite sides of the central triazolyl ring, forming dihedral angles of 79.30 (13) and 64.59 (10)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the outer rings is 14.88 (9)°. This conformation is nearly 7 kcal mol(-1) higher in energy than the energy-minimized structure which has a syn disposition of the outer rings, enabling intra-molecular π-π inter-actions. In the crystal, methyl-ene-C-H⋯N(triazol-yl) and carbo-nitrile-N⋯π(benzene) inter-actions lead to supra-molecular chains along the a axis. Supra-molecular layers in the ab plane arise as the chains are connected by benzene-C-H⋯N(carbo-nitrile) inter-actions; layers stack with no directional inter-actions between them. The specified inter-molecular contacts along with other, weaker contributions to the supra-molecular stabilization are analysed in a Hirshfeld surface analysis.
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd2(C12H10N2)3(C6H12NOS2)4]·4C2H3N, comprises a Cd(II) atom, two di-thio-carbamate (dtc) anions, one and a half trans-1,2-dipyridin-4-yl-ethyl-ene (bpe) mol-ecules and two aceto-nitrile solvent mol-ecules. The full binuclear complex is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The dtc ligands are chelating, one bpe mol-ecule coordinates in a monodentate mode while the other is bidentate bridging. The resulting cis-N2S4 coordination geometry is based on an octa-hedron. Supra-molecular layers, sustained by hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(hy-droxy) and hy-droxy-O-H⋯N(bpe) hydrogen bonding, inter-penetrate to form a three-dimensional architecture; voids in this arrangement are occupied by the aceto-nitrile solvent mol-ecules. Additional inter-molecular inter-actions falling within the specified framework have been analysed by Hirshfeld surface analysis, including π-π inter-actions.
The title compound, {[Cd(C9H11N2S2)2]·C6H7N} n , features two μ2-κ3-di-thio-carbamate ligands each of which chelates one CdII atom, via the S atoms, while simultaneously bridging to another via the pyridyl-N atom. The result is a two-dimensional coordination polymer extending parallel to the ab plane with square channels along the b axis. The CdII atom geometry is based on a distorted cis-N2S4 octa-hedron. The 3-methyl-pyridine mol-ecules reside in the channels aligned along the b axis, being held in place by methyl-ene-C-H⋯N(3-methyl-pyridine) and (3-methyl-pyridine)-C-H⋯π(pyrid-yl) inter-actions. Pyridyl-C-H⋯S and di-thio-carbamate-methyl-C-H⋯π(pyrid-yl) inter-actions provide connections between layers along the c axis.
In the title compound, C28H34N2O5, the adjacent ester and nitro-benzene substituents are connected via an intra-molecular methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(nitrobenzene) inter-action and the mol-ecule approximates to a U-shape. The di-hydro-pyrrole ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.003 Å) is almost co-planar with the carboxyl-ate residue [Cm-N-C1-Oc (m = methine, c = carbox-yl) torsion angle = 1.8 (4)°] but is orthogonal to the 4-meth-oxy-benzene ring [dihedral angle = 84.34 (17)°]. In the crystal, methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) inter-actions lead to linear supra-molecular chains along the b-axis direction, which pack without directional inter-actions between them. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the importance of weak inter-atomic H⋯H, O⋯H/H⋯O and C⋯H/H⋯C contacts in the crystal.
In the cation of the title salt, C20H19N2O+·Br-, the phenyl rings are inclined to one another by 38.38 (8)°, whereas the central phenyl ring and the pyridiniminium ring are almost perpendicular with a dihedral angle of 87.37 (9)°. The N+=C cationic double bond was verified by the shortened bond length of 1.337 (2) Å. In the crystal, the Br- anion is linked to the cation by an N-H⋯Br hydrogen bond. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link adjacent pyridiniminium cations into inversion dimers with an R22(18) graph-set motif. These dimers are stacked in a phen-yl-phenyl T-shaped geometry through C-H⋯π inter-actions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was conducted to verify the contributions of the different inter-molecular inter-actions.
In the title compound, C12H12N2O4, the di-hydro-pyrrole ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0049 Å) and is nearly coplanar with the adjacent C2O2 residue [dihedral angle = 4.56 (9)°], which links to the 4-nitro-benzene substituent [dihedral angle = 4.58 (8)°]. The mol-ecule is concave, with the outer rings lying to the same side of the central C2O2 residue and being inclined to each other [dihedral angle = 8.30 (7)°]. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers parallel to (10-5) are sustained by nitro-benzene-C-H⋯O(carbon-yl) and pyrrole-C-H⋯O(nitro) inter-actions. The layers are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by π(pyrrole)-π(nitro-benzene) stacking [inter-centroid separation = 3.7414 (10) Å] and nitro-O⋯π(pyrrole) inter-actions.
The title compound, C15H13ClO2S, comprises (4-chloro-phen-yl)sulfanyl, benzaldehyde and meth-oxy residues linked at a chiral methine-C atom (the crystal is racemic). A twist in the methine-C-C(carbon-yl) bond [O-C-C-O torsion angle = 19.3 (7)°] leads to a dihedral angle of 22.2 (5)° between the benzaldehyde and methine+meth-oxy residues. The chloro-benzene ring is folded to lie over the O atoms, with the dihedral angle between the benzene rings being 42.9 (2)°. In the crystal, the carbonyl-O atom accepts two C-H⋯O inter-actions with methyl- and methine-C-H atoms being the donors. The result is an helical supra-molecular chain aligned along the c axis; chains pack with no directional inter-actions between them. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surface points to the important contributions of weak H⋯H and C⋯C contacts to the mol-ecular packing.
The title compound, C31H20O, was synthesized using a Claisen-Schmidt condensation. The enone group adopts an s-trans conformation and the anthracene ring systems are twisted at angles of 85.21 (19) and 83.98 (19)° from the enone plane. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into chains along [100] via weak C-H⋯π inter-actions. The observed band gap of 3.03 eV is in excellent agreement with that (3.07 eV) calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates a high percentage of C⋯H/H⋯C (41.2%) contacts in the crystal.
The title ZnII complex, [Zn(C18H18N3S)2], (I), features two independent but chemically equivalent mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. In each, the thio-semicarbazonate monoanion coordinates the ZnII atom via the thiol-ate-S and imine-N atoms, with the resulting N2S2 donor set defining a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The five-membered ZnSCN2 chelate rings adopt distinct conformations in each independent mol-ecule, i.e. one ring is almost planar while the other is twisted about the Zn-S bond. In the crystal, the two mol-ecules comprising the asymmetric unit are linked by amine-N-H⋯N(imine) and amine-N-H⋯S(thiol-ate) hydrogen bonds via an eight-membered heterosynthon, {⋯HNCN⋯HNCS}. The dimeric aggregates are further consolidated by benzene-C-H⋯S(thiol-ate) inter-actions and are linked into a zigzag supra-molecular chain along the c axis via amine-N-H⋯S(thiol-ate) hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected into a three-dimensional architecture via phenyl-C-H⋯π(phen-yl) and π-π inter-actions, the latter occurring between chelate and phenyl rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.6873 (11) Å]. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces calculated for (I) emphasizes the different inter-actions formed by the independent mol-ecules in the crystal and the impact of the π-π inter-actions between chelate and phenyl rings.
The asymmetric unit of the title co-crystal, C10H5BrO2·C14H8O4 [systematic name: 2-bromo-1,4-di-hydro-naphthalene-1,4-dione-1,8-dihy-droxy-9,10-di-hydro-anthracene-9,10-dione (1/1)], features one mol-ecule of each coformer. The 2-bromo-naphtho-quinone mol-ecule is almost planar [r.m.s deviation of the 13 non-H atoms = 0.060 Å, with the maximum deviations of 0.093 (1) and 0.099 (1) Å being for the Br atom and a carbonyl-O atom, respectively]. The 1,8-di-hydroxy-anthra-quinone mol-ecule is planar (r.m.s. deviation for the 18 non-H atoms is 0.022 Å) and features two intra-molecular hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds. Dimeric aggregates of 1,8-di-hydroxy-anthra-quinone mol-ecules assemble through weak inter-molecular hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(carbon-yl) hydrogen bonds. The mol-ecular packing comprises stacks of mol-ecules of 2-bromo-naphtho-quinone and dimeric assembles of 1,8-di-hydroxy-anthra-quinone with the shortest π-π contact within a stack of 3.5760 (9) Å occurring between the different rings of 2-bromo-naphtho-quinone mol-ecules. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surface reveals the importance of the inter-actions just indicated but, also the contribution of additional C-H⋯O contacts as well as C=O⋯π inter-actions to the mol-ecular packing.
The title isoaltholactone derivative, C13H13NO3, has an NH group in place of the ether-O atom in the five-membered ring of the natural product. The five-membered ring is twisted about the N-C bond linking it to the six-membered ring, which has a half-chair conformation with the O atom connected to the ether-O atom lying above the plane defined by the remaining atoms. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the rings comprising the fused-ring system is 75.10 (8)°. In the crystal, hy-droxy-O-H⋯N(amine) hydrogen bonding sustains linear supra-molecular chains along the a axis. Chains are linked into a three-dimensional architecture via amine-N-H⋯π(phen-yl) and phenyl-C-H⋯O(hy-droxy) inter-actions. The influence of the amine-N-H⋯π(phen-yl) contact on the mol-ecular packing is revealed by an analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.
The title trinuclear compound, [Cu3(C5H8NS2)Cl2(C6H15P)3], has the di-thio-carbamate ligand symmetrically chelating one CuI atom and each of the S atoms bridging to another CuI atom. Both chloride ligands are bridging, one being μ3- and the other μ2-bridging. Each Et3P ligand occupies a terminal position. Two of the CuI atoms exist within Cl2PS donor sets and the third is based on a ClPS2 donor set, with each coordination geometry based on a distorted tetra-hedron. The constituents defining the core of the mol-ecule, i.e. Cu3Cl2S2, occupy seven corners of a distorted cube. In the crystal, linear supra-molecular chains along the c axis are formed via phosphane-methyl-ene-C-H⋯Cl and pyrrolidine-methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(chelate) inter-actions, and these chains pack without directional inter-actions between them. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surface points to the predominance of H atoms at the surface, i.e. contributing 86.6% to the surface, and also highlights the presence of C-H⋯π(chelate) inter-actions.
The crystal structures of two ammonium salts of 2-amino-4-nitro-benzoic acid are described, namely di-methyl-aza-nium 2-amino-4-nitro-benzoate, C2H8N+·C7H5N2O4-, (I), and di-butyl-aza-nium 2-amino-4-nitro-benzoate, C8H20N+·C7H5N2O4-, (II). The asymmetric unit of (I) comprises a single cation and a single anion. In the anion, small twists are noted for the carboxyl-ate and nitro groups from the ring to which they are connected, as indicated by the dihedral angles of 11.45 (13) and 3.71 (15)°, respectively; the dihedral angle between the substituents is 7.9 (2)°. The asymmetric unit of (II) comprises two independent pairs of cations and anions. In the cations, different conformations are noted in the side chains in that three chains have an all-trans [(+)-anti-periplanar] conformation, while one has a distinctive kink resulting in a (+)-synclinal conformation. The anions, again, exhibit twists with the dihedral angles between the carboxyl-ate and nitro groups and the ring being 12.73 (6) and 4.30 (10)°, respectively, for the first anion and 8.1 (4) and 12.6 (3)°, respectively, for the second. The difference between anions in (I) and (II) is that in the anions of (II), the terminal groups are conrotatory, forming dihedral angles of 17.02 (8) and 19.0 (5)°, respectively. In each independent anion of (I) and (II), an intra-molecular amino-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bond is formed. In the crystal of (I), anions are linked into a jagged supra-molecular chain by charge-assisted amine-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds and these are connected into layers via charge-assisted ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds. The resulting layers stack along the a axis, being connected by nitro-N-O⋯π(arene) and methyl-C-H⋯O(nitro) inter-actions. In the crystal of (II), the anions are connected into four-ion aggregates by charge-assisted amino-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonding. The formation of ammonium-N-H⋯O(carboxyl-ate) hydrogen bonds, involving all ammonium-N-H and carboxyl-ate O atoms leads to a three-dimensional architecture; additional C-H⋯O(nitro) inter-actions contribute to the packing. The Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms the importance of the hydrogen bonding in both crystal structures. Indeed, O⋯H/H⋯O inter-actions contribute nearly 50% to the entire Hirshfeld surface in (I).
The common feature of the mol-ecular structures of the title compounds, [Zn(C5H10NS2)2(C5H5NO)], (I), and [Zn(C4H8NOS2)2(C5H5NO)], (II), are NS4 donor sets derived from N-bound hy-droxy-pyridyl ligands and asymmetrically chelating di-thio-carbamate ligands. The resulting coordination geometries are highly distorted, being inter-mediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal for both independent mol-ecules comprising the asymmetric unit of (I), and significantly closer towards square pyramidal in (II). The key feature of the mol-ecular packing in (I) is the formation of centrosymmetric, dimeric aggregates sustained by pairs of hy-droxy-O-H⋯S(di-thio-carbamate) hydrogen bonds. The aggregates are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by methyl-ene-C-H⋯O(hy-droxy) and methyl-C-H⋯π(chelate) inter-actions. With greater hydrogen-bonding potential, supra-molecular chains along the c axis are formed in the crystal of (II), sustained by hy-droxy-O-H⋯O(hy-droxy) hydrogen bonds, with ethyl-hydroxy and pyridyl-hydroxy groups as the donors, along with ethyl-hydroxy-O-H⋯S(di-thio-carbamate) hydrogen bonds. Chains are connected into layers in the ac plane by methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(chelate) inter-actions and these stack along the b axis, with no directional inter-actions between them. An analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces clearly distinguished the independent mol-ecules of (I) and reveals the importance of the C-H⋯π(chelate) inter-actions in the packing of both (I) and (II).
