i& Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of poly[tris(μ4-benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato)tetrakis(dimethylformamide)trinickel(II)]: a two-dimensional coordination network By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-11-08 The crystal structure of the title compound, [Ni3(C8H4O4)3(C3H7NO)4], is a two-dimensional coordination network formed by trinuclear linear Ni3(tp)3(DMF)4 units (tp = terephthalate = benzene-1,4-dicarboxylate and DMF = dimethylformamide) displaying a characteristic coordination mode of acetate groups in polynuclear metal–organic compounds. Individual trinuclear units are connected through tp anions in a triangular network that forms layers. One of the DMF ligands points outwards and provides interactions with equivalent planes above and below, leaving the second ligand in a structural void much larger than the DMF molecule, which shows positional disorder. Parallel planes are connected mainly through weak C—H⋯O, H⋯H and H⋯C interactions between DMF molecules, as shown by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Full Article text

The central FeII ion is coordinated by four pyrrole N atoms of the porphyrin core and two C atoms of the cyano groups in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The complex molecule crystallizes with two tetrahydrofuran solvent molecules, one of which was refined as disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.619 (5) and 0.381 (5). It has a distorted porphyrin core with mean absolute core-atom displacements Ca, Cb, Cm and Cav of 0.32 (3), 0.22 (3), 0.56 (2) and 0.37 (14) Å, respectively. The axial Fe—Ccyano bond lengths are 1.991 (2) and 1.988 (2) Å. The average Fe—Np (Np is a porphyrin N atom) bond length is 1.964 (10) Å.

i& Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and contact enrichment ratios of 1-(2,7-dimethylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-2-(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)ethanone monohydrate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-11-29 In the title hydrated hybrid compound C14H14N2OS2·H2O, the planar imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine ring system is linked to the 1,3-dithiolane moiety by an enone bridge. The atoms of the C—C bond in the 1,3-dithiolane ring are disordered over two positions with occupancies of 0.579 (14) and 0.421 (14) and both disordered rings adopt a half-chair conformation. The oxygen atom of the enone bridge is involved in a weak intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, which generates an S(6) graph-set motif. In the crystal, the hybrid molecules are associated in R22(14) dimeric units by weak C—H⋯O interactions. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the water molecules, forming infinite self-assembled chains along the b-axis direction to which the dimers are connected via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonding. Analysis of intermolecular contacts using Hirshfeld surface analysis and contact enrichment ratio descriptors indicate that hydrogen bonds induced by water molecules are the main driving force in the crystal packing formation.

i& Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and interaction energy and DFT studies of 1-methyl-3-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-2-one By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-11-29 In the title molecule, C11H10N2O, the dihydrobenzimidazol-2-one moiety is essentially planar, with the prop-2-yn-1-yl substituent rotated well out of this plane. In the crystal, C—HMthy⋯π(ring) interactions and C—HProp⋯ODhyr (Mthy = methyl, Prop = prop-2-yn-1-yl and Dhyr = dihydro) hydrogen bonds form corrugated layers parallel to (10overline{1}), which are associated through additional C—HBnz⋯ODhyr (Bnz = benzene) hydrogen bonds and head-to-tail, slipped, π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7712 (7) Å] interactions between dihydrobenzimidazol-2-one moieties. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (44.1%), H⋯C/C⋯H (33.5%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (13.4%) interactions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry calculations indicate that in the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond energies are 46.8 and 32.5 (for C—HProp⋯ODhyr) and 20.2 (for C—HBnz⋯ODhyr) 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. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text
i& N,N'-Bis(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)ethanediamide monohydrate: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The molecular structure of the title bis-pyridyl substituted diamide hydrate, C14H14N4O2·H2O, features a central C2N2O2 residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0205 Å) linked at each end to 3-pyridyl rings through methylene groups. The pyridyl rings lie to the same side of the plane, i.e. have a syn-periplanar relationship, and form dihedral angles of 59.71 (6) and 68.42 (6)° with the central plane. An almost orthogonal relationship between the pyridyl rings is indicated by the dihedral angle between them [87.86 (5)°]. Owing to an anti disposition between the carbonyl-O atoms in the core, two intramolecular amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds are formed, each closing an S(5) loop. Supramolecular tapes are formed in the crystal via amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and ten-membered {⋯HNC2O}2 synthons. Two symmetry-related tapes are linked by a helical chain of hydrogen-bonded water molecules via water-O—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds. The resulting aggregate is parallel to the b-axis direction. Links between these, via methylene-C—H⋯O(water) and methylene-C—H⋯π(pyridyl) interactions, give rise to a layer parallel to (10overline{1}); the layers stack without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces point to the importance of the specified hydrogen-bonding interactions, and to the significant influence of the water molecule of crystallization upon the molecular packing. The analysis also indicates the contribution of methylene-C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and pyridyl-C—H⋯C(carbonyl) contacts to the stability of the inter-layer region. The calculated interaction energies are consistent with importance of significant electrostatic attractions in the crystal. Full Article text
i& Synthesis and crystal structure of catena-poly[[bis[(2,2';6',2''-terpyridine)manganese(II)]-μ4-pentathiodiantimonato] tetrahydrate] showing a 1D MnSbS network By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Mn2Sb2S5(C15H11N3)2]·4H2O}n, consists of two crystallographically independent MnII ions, two unique terpyridine ligands, one [Sb2S5]4− anion and four solvent water molecules, all of which are located in general positions. The [Sb2S5]4− anion consists of two SbS3 units that share common corners. Each of the MnII ions is fivefold coordinated by two symmetry-related S atoms of [Sb2S5]4− anions and three N atoms of a terpyridine ligand within an irregular coordination. Each two anions are linked by two [Mn(terpyridine)]2+ cations into chains along the c-axis direction that consist of eight-membered Mn2Sb2S4 rings. These chains are further connected into a three-dimensional network by intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds. The crystal investigated was twinned and therefore, a twin refinement using data in HKLF-5 [Sheldrick (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 3–8] format was performed. Full Article text
i& Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study of bis(2-{[(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]methyl}phenolato)cobalt(II) and of the copper(II) analogue By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The title homoleptic Schiff base complexes, [M(C14H9Cl2N2O)2], for M = CoII, (I), and CuII, (II), present distinct coordination geometries despite the Schiff base dianion coordinating via the phenolato-O and imine-N atoms in each case. For (I), the coordination geometry is based on a trigonal bipyramid whereas for (II), a square-planar geometry is found (Cu site symmetry overline{1}). In the crystal of (I), discernible supramolecular layers in the ac plane are sustained by chlorobenzene-C—H⋯O(coordinated), chlorobenzene-C—H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) as well as π(fused-benzene, chlorobenzene)–π(chlorobenzene) interactions [inter-centroid separations = 3.6460 (17) and 3.6580 (16) Å, respectively]. The layers inter-digitate along the b-axis direction and are linked by dichlorobenzene-C—H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) and π–π interactions between fused-benzene rings and between chlorobenzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.6916 (16) and 3.7968 (19) Å, respectively] . Flat, supramolecular layers are also found in the crystal of (II), being stabilized by π–π interactions formed between fused-benzene rings and between chlorobenzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.8889 (15) and 3.8889 (15) Å, respectively]; these stack parallel to [10overline{1}] without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the respective calculated Hirshfeld surfaces indicate diminished roles for H⋯H contacts [26.2% (I) and 30.5% (II)] owing to significant contributions by Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts [25.8% (I) and 24.9% (II)]. Minor contributions by Cl⋯Cl [2.2%] and Cu⋯Cl [1.9%] contacts are indicated in the crystals of (I) and (II), respectively. The interaction energies largely arise from dispersion terms; the aforementioned Cu⋯Cl contact in (II) gives rise to the most stabilizing interaction in the crystal of (II). Full Article text

All four anions are `whole-molecule' disordered over two sets of sites. The major components have refined occupancies of 0.572 (13), 0.591 (9), 0.601 (9) and 0.794 (10). The CuII ions exhibit slightly distorted octahedral geometries. In the crystal, cations and anions are connected to each other via N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (200). The intermolecular contacts in the crystal were further analysed using Hirshfeld surface analysis, which indicates that the most significant contacts are O⋯H/H⋯O (42.9%), followed by H⋯H (35.7%), C⋯H/H⋯C (14.2%), C⋯C (2.9%), C⋯O/O⋯C (2.2%), N⋯H/H⋯N (0.9%) and N⋯O/O⋯N (0.3%).

The asymmetric unit comprises one [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cation, one PF6− counter-ion and one CH2Cl2 solvent molecule. The central IrIII atom of the [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cation is distorted-octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms and two C atoms, whereby two N atoms stem from the NAP ligand while the ppz ligands ligate through one N and one C atom each. In the crystal, the [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cations and PF6− counter-ions are connected with each other through weak intermolecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds.

In the crystal, chains of alternating molecules and lattice water extending along [201] are formed by O—HUncoordW⋯ODhyr and O—HUncoordW⋯NTrz (UncoordW = uncoordinated water, Dhyr = dihydro and Trz = triazole) hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected into layers parallel to (010) by C—HTrz⋯OUncoordW hydrogen bonds with the dihydrobenzodiazole units in adjacent layers intercalating to form head-to-tail π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.5694 (11) Å] interactions between them, which generates the overall three-dimensional structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (52.1%), H⋯C/C⋯H (23.8%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (11.2%) interactions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing.

i& The 1:2 co-crystal formed between N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)ethanediamide and benzoic acid: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The crystal and molecular structures of the title 1:2 co-crystal, C14H14N4O2·2C7H6O2, are described. The oxalamide molecule has a (+)-antiperiplanar conformation with the 4-pyridyl residues lying to either side of the central, almost planar C2N2O2 chromophore (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0555 Å). The benzoic acid molecules have equivalent, close to planar conformations [C6/CO2 dihedral angle = 6.33 (14) and 3.43 (10)°]. The formation of hydroxy-O—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds between the benzoic acid molecules and the pyridyl residues of the diamide leads to a three-molecule aggregate. Centrosymmetrically related aggregates assemble into a six-molecule aggregate via amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonds through a 10-membered {⋯HNC2O}2 synthon. These are linked into a supramolecular tape via amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and 22-membered {⋯HOCO⋯NC4NH}2 synthons. The contacts between tapes to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are of the type methylene-C—H⋯O(amide) and pyridyl-C—H⋯O(carbonyl). These interactions are largely electrostatic in nature. Additional non-covalent contacts are identified from an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces. Full Article text

This is the first experimental evidence that pentenynones can be photoreactive when fixed in nearly coplanar parallel positions. During the photoreaction, the bond lengths and angles along the pentenyne chain changed significantly, while the disposition of the pyridyl ring towards the keto group was almost unchanged. The cyclobutane ring adopts an rctt conformation. Full Article text

In (I), the dithiocarbamate ligand is asymmetrically coordinating with the resulting C3S2 donor set defining a coordination geometry intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal–bipyramidal. In (II), two independent molecules comprise the asymmetric unit, which differ in the conformations of the allyl substituents and in the relative orientations of the tin-bound phenyl rings. The dithiocarbamate ligands in (II) coordinate in an asymmetric mode but the Sn—S bonds are more symmetric than observed in (I). The resulting C2S4 donor set approximates an octahedral coordination geometry with a cis-disposition of the ipso-carbon atoms and with the more tightly bound sulfur atoms approximately trans. The only directional intermolecular contacts in the crystals of (I) and (II) are of the type phenyl-C—H⋯π(phenyl) and vinylidene-C—H⋯π(phenyl), respectively, with each leading to a supramolecular chain propagating along the a-axis direction. The calculated Hirshfeld surfaces emphasize the importance of H⋯H contacts in the crystal of (I), i.e. contributing 62.2% to the overall surface. The only other two significant contacts also involve hydrogen, i.e. C⋯H/H⋯C (28.4%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (8.6%). Similar observations pertain to the individual molecules of (II), which are clearly distinguishable in their surface contacts, with H⋯H being clearly dominant (59.9 and 64.9%, respectively) along with C⋯H/H⋯C (24.3 and 20.1%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (14.4 and 13.6%) contacts.

Both polymorphs crystallize in the monoclinic system with four formula units per cell and a complete molecule in the asymmetric unit. The main difference between the molecules of (I) and (II) is the reversed position of the hydroxy group of the carboxylic function. All other conformational features are found to be similar in the two molecules. The different orientation of the OH group results in different hydrogen-bonding schemes in the crystal structures of (I) and (II). Whereas in (I) intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the pyridazinone carbonyl O atom as acceptor generate chains with a C(7) motif extending parallel to the b-axis direction, in the crystal of (II) pairs of inversion-related O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with an R22(8) ring motif between two carboxylic functions are found.

Bis(1-mesityl-1H-imidazole-κN3)diphenylboron (Ph2B(MesIm)2+) is a bulky ligand that crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn. The asymmetric unit contains one Ph2B(MesIm)2+ cationic ligand and one trifluoromethanesulfonate anion that balances the positive charge of the ligand. The tetrahedral geometry around the boron center is distorted as a result of the steric bulk of the phenyl groups. Weak interactions, such as π–π stacking are present in the crystal structure.

i& Cis versus trans arrangement of dithiocarbazate ligands in bis-chelated Ni and Cu complexes By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-21 The structures are described of two bis-chelated metal complexes of nickel(II) and copper(II) with S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazate Schiff bases in a cis configuration, namely, bis[S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazato-κ2N3,S]nickel(II), [Ni(C15H21N2S2)2], and bis[S-n-hexyl 3-(1-phenylethylidene)dithiocarbazato-κ2N3,S]copper(II), [Cu(C15H21N2S2)2]. In both complexes, the metals have distorted square-planar geometries. A search in the Cambridge Structural Database [Groom et al. (2016). Acta Cryst. B72, 171–179] for bis-chelated nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with similar Schiff bases retrieved 55 and 36 hits for the two metals, respectively. An analysis of the geometrical parameters of complexes showing cis and trans configurations is reported and the values compared with those for the complexes described in this work. Full Article text
i& Synthesis and structure of ethyl 2-[(4-oxo-3-phenyl-3,4-dihydroquinazolin-2-yl)sulfanyl]acetate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-17 The title compound, C18H16N2O3S, was synthesized by reaction of 2-mercapto-3-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one with ethyl chloroacetate. The quinazoline ring forms a dihedral angle of 86.83 (5)° with the phenyl ring. The terminal methyl group is disordered by a rotation of about 60° in a 0.531 (13): 0.469 (13) ratio. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions result in the formation of columns running in the [010] direction. Two parallel columns further interact by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The most important contributions to the surface contacts are from H⋯H (48.4%), C⋯H/H⋯C (21.5%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (18.7%) interactions, as concluded from a Hirshfeld analysis. Full Article text
i& 2-[(2,4,6-Trimethylbenzene)sulfonyl]phthalazin-1(2H)-one: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-04-21 The X-ray crystal structure of the title phthalazin-1-one derivative, C17H16N2O3S {systematic name: 2-[(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene)sulfonyl]-1,2-dihydrophthalazin-1-one}, features a tetrahedral sulfoxide-S atom, connected to phthalazin-1-one and mesityl residues. The dihedral angle [83.26 (4)°] between the organic substituents is consistent with the molecule having the shape of the letter V. In the crystal, phthalazinone-C6-C—H⋯O(sulfoxide) and π(phthalazinone-N2C4)–π(phthalazinone-C6) stacking [inter-centroid distance = 3.5474 (9) Å] contacts lead to a linear supramolecular tape along the a-axis direction; tapes assemble without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces confirm the importance of the C—H⋯O and π-stacking interactions but, also H⋯H and C—H⋯C contacts. The calculation of the interaction energies indicate the importance of dispersion terms with the greatest energies calculated for the C—H⋯O and π-stacking interactions. Full Article text

The cobalt core exhibits an approximately square-pyramidal geometry with partially reduced thienyl radical monoanionic ligands. The supramolecular network is consolidated by hydrogen-bonding interactions primarily with nitrogen, sulfur and chlorine atoms, as well as parallel displaced π-stacking of the aryl rings. The UV–vis, IR, and CV data are also consistent with monoanionic dithiolene ligands and an overall CoII oxidation state. Full Article text
