The solid-state structural analysis of the title compound [systematic name: 5,11-disulfanylidene-4,6,10,12-tetrakis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-4,6,10,12-tetraazatricyclo[7.3.0.03,7]dodeca-1(9),3(7)-diene-2,8-dione], C44H44N4O2S2 [+solvent], reveals that the mol­ecule crystallizes in a highly symmetric cubic space group so that one quarter of the mol­ecule is crystallographically unique, the mol­ecule lying on special positions (two mirror planes, two twofold axes and a center of inversion). The crystal structure exhibits large cavities of 193 Å3 accounting for 7.3% of the total unit-cell volume. These cavities contain residual density peaks but it was not possible to unambiguously identify the solvent therein. The contribution of the disordered solvent mol­ecules to the scattering was removed using a solvent mask and is not included in the reported mol­ecular weight. No classical hydrogen bonds are observed between the main mol­ecules.

In the title compound, C21H18O4, the dihedral angle between the naphthelene ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.014 Å) and the benzene ring is 9.68 (1)°. The C atom of the meth­oxy group of the naphthalene ring system is almost coplanar with the ring [C—O—C—C = −2.0 (3)°], whereas the C atom of the meth­oxy group of the phenol ring is slightly twisted [C—O—C—C = 6.2 (3)°]. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond generates an S(6) ring motif.

The title compound, C6H3BrN2, also known as 3-bromo­picolino­nitrile, was synthesized by cyanation of 2,3-di­bromo­pyridine. In the solid state, short inter­molecular Br⋯N contacts are observed. Additionally, the crystal packing is consolidated by π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.7893 (9) Å.

The mol­ecule features two intra­molecular O—H⋯N and two C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, each of which forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into infinite zigzag chains propagating along the c-axis direction. π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyrone rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.975 (2) Å] stack the mol­ecules along b.

The central osmium triangle has two OsI atoms bridged by a hydride ligand and a μ-HN= C—CH3-1κN:2κC triazine fragment. Three CO ligands complete the coordination sphere around each OsI atom, while the remaining Os0 atom has four CO ligands. Each Os atom exhibits a pseudo-octa­hedral coordination environment, discounting the bridging Os—Os bond.

The title com­pound, C34H24O4S·0.5CH2Cl2, crystallizes with two independent mol­ecules and one di­chloro­methane solvent mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The crystal packing is consolidated by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric unit consists of two independent mol­ecules, both of which are almost planar; the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 10.61 (8)° for one mol­ecule and 2.46 (8)° for the other. There is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond that generates S(6) ring motifs in each mol­ecule. In the crystal, the two independent mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a pseudo-inversion dimer. A π–π inter­action, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6065 (12) Å, is also observed.

In the title compound, C22H25NO5·H2O, the ten-membered ring displays an approximate chair–chair conformation, whereas the five-membered furan ring has an envelope conformation, with the C atom of the methine group adjacent to the spiro C atom as the flap. The isoxazole ring is almost planar and its plane is slightly inclined to the plane of the attached phenyl ring. The mean plane of the furan ring is nearly perpendicular to that of the isoxazole ring, as indicated by the dihedral angle between them of 89.39 (12)°. In the crystal, the organic mol­ecules are linked into [010] chains by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The water mol­ecule forms O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and a weak C—H⋯O inter­action is also observed. Together, these lead to a three-dimensional network.

The distorted square-pyramidal coordination sphere of the MgII atom is completed by the O atom of a tetra­hydro­furan ligand, with its O atom in the apical position. The O and N atoms are in a mutual trans arrangement. Except for two C—H⋯π inter­actions, no significant inter­molecular inter­actions are observed in the crystal.

Weak intra­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via pairs of weak inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers. The dimers are further linked into a three-dimensional network through N—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and π–π inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5619 (10)–3.9712 (9) Å].

In the title compound, C21H17N3O2, the triazole ring system is inclined at dihedral angles of 4.14 (18) and 69.24 (11)° with the naphthalene ring system and phenyl ring, respectively. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into double columns propagating along the b-axis direction.

The title compound, C22H22O5, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, one of which shows disorder of its ethyl acetate group over two sets of sites in a 0.880 (2):0.120 (2) ratio. The C≡C distances in the two mol­ecules are almost the same [1.1939 (16) and 1.199 (2) Å], but the Csp3—C≡C angles differ somewhat [175.92 (12) and 172.53 (16)°]. In the crystal, several weak C—H⋯O inter­actions are seen.

The title 1,3,4-oxa­diazole derivative crystallizes as a hemihydrate, C8H6N2O2S·0.5H2O, with the water mol­ecule located on a twofold rotation axis. The 1,3,4-oxa­diazole mol­ecule is essentially planar, the r.m.s. deviation of the non-H atoms being 0.0443 Å. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the phenyl and oxa­diazole rings is 6.101 (17)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked via O—H⋯S and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving the water mol­ecule, the N—H group and the thione S atom into undulating ribbons. Additional π–π inter­actions generate a two-dimensional supra­molecular framework extending parallel to (001).

The title compound, (C8H22N2O)2[Mo8O26]·H2O, (cis-H2L)2[β-Mo8O26]·H2O, where L = (bis­[2-N,N-di­methyl­amino)­eth­yl] ether), was synthesized from bis­[2-(di­methyl­amino)­eth­yl] ether and MoO3 under solvothermal conditions and characterized by multinuclear NMR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structure displays two [oxybis(ethane-1,2-di­yl)]bis­(di­methyl­ammonium), or [cis-H2L]2+, cations, a central [β-Mo8O26]4− anionic cluster consisting of eight distorted MoO6 octa­hedra, and two water mol­ecules in their deuterated form. The central anion lies across an inversion center. The [cis-H2L]2+ cations are hydrogen bonded to the central [β-Mo8O26]4− cluster via bridging water mol­ecules. In the crystal, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the components into chains along [010]. Weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link these chains into a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, [Cu2(C7HF4O2)4(C12H8N2)2(CH3OH)], the mol­ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis in space group C2/c. The Cu2+ ion exhibits a distorted octa­hedral sphere with two N atoms from the phenanthroline ligand, three O atoms from the 2,3,4,5-tetra­fluoro­benzoate ligands and one O atom from a methanol mol­ecule. The distortion from an octa­hedral shape is a consequence of the Jahn–Teller effect of CuII and the small bite angle for the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand [54.50 (11)°]. The methanol mol­ecule bridges two symmetry-related CuII atoms to form the complete mol­ecule. In the bidentate fluoro­benzoate ligand, one F atom is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy. In the crystal structure, only weak inter­molecular inter­actions are observed.

The title compound, C12H10N2O2S, was synthesized via the acid-catalyzed condensation of 4-nitro­aniline and 5-methyl-2-thio­phene­carboxaldehyde in a methanol–water solution.

The structure of the title compound, [Os(C6HF4S)4{P(C6H5)3}], has been previously reported [Arroyo et al. (1994). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1819–1824], in the space group Poverline{1}. We have now obtained a monoclinic polymorph for this compound, crystallized from ethanol, while the previous form was obtained from a hexa­ne/chloro­form mixture. The mol­ecular structure is based on a trigonal–bipyramidal OsIV coordination geometry, close to that observed previously in the triclinic form.

In the title compound, [Cd4Cl8(C6H16N2)4], the Cd2+ cations and Cl− anions form M4Cl8 clusters with six of the Cl− ions bridging Cd2+ cations and two being pendant. Each Cd2+ cation has distorted octa­hedral coordination completed by four Cl− ions and two N atoms of the asymmetrical bidentate amino ligand. The cluster consists of pairs of face-sharing hexa­hedra linked by a shared edge.

In the title compound, [Pd(C7H3NO4)(C10H8N2)]·H2O, the PdII cation is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar coordination geometry defined by the two N atoms of the 2,2'-bi­pyridine ligand, one O atom and one N atom from the pyridine-2,6-di­carboxyl­ate anion. The complex and solvent water mol­ecule are linked by inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are stacked in columns along the a axis.

The crystal structure of the benzene monosolvate of the well known organic diphosphite ligand BIPHEPHOS, C46H44O8P2·C6H6, is reported for the first time. Single crystals of BIPHEPHOS were obtained from a benzene solution after layering with n-heptane at room temperature. One specific property of this type of diphosphite structure is the twisting of the biphenyl units. In the crystal, C—H⋯π contacts and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.8941 (15) Å] are observed.

In the title compound, C29H26ClNO4, the di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a shallow boat conformation. The mean plane of the di­hydro­pyridine ring (all atoms) subtends dihedral angles of 66.54 (1), 73.71 (1) and 79.47 (1)° with the two phenyl rings and the chloro­phenyl ring, respectively. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

In the title compound, C18H16N2O2, the dihedral angle between the pyrrole rings is 79.47 (9)°, with the N—H groups approximately orthogonal (H—N⋯N—H pseudo torsion angle = −106°). In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into [11overline{1}] chains. A C—H⋯O inter­action is also observed.

In the title compound, C31H24Br2Cl2N2O, the dihedral angles subtended by the tert-butyl-phenyl, 4,6-di­chloro­phenol and 4-bromo­phenyl (×2) rings are 70.7 (3), 8.1 (3), 28.1 (3) and 84.2 (3)°, respectively. The orientations of the pendant rings may be related to intra­molecular O—H⋯N and C—H⋯π inter­actions. One of the tert-butyl methyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.54 (3):0.46 (3) ratio. In the crystal, a weak C—H⋯π inter­action generates inversion dimers.

In the title hydrated salt, [Ni(C21H17F2N3)2](NO3)2·2H2O, the central NiII ion is coordinated by six N atoms from two tridentate chelating 2,6-bis­[(E)-(4-fluoro­benzyl­imino)­meth­yl]pyridine ligands. While the central NiII ion is six-coordinate, its environment is distorted from an octa­hedral structure because of the unequal Ni—N distances. The Ni—N bond lengths vary from 1.8642 (14) to 2.2131 (15) Å, while the N—Ni—N angles range from 79.98 (6) to 104.44 (6)°. Three coordinating sites of each chelating agent are almost coplanar with respect to the pyridine ring, and two pyridine moieties are perpendicular to each other. Two non-coordinating nitrate anions within the asymmetric unit balance the charges of the central metal ion, and are linked with two crystal water mol­ecules, forming a water–nitrate cyclic tetra­meric unit [O⋯O = 2.813 (2) to 3.062 (2) Å]. In an isolated mol­ecule, the fluoro­phenyl rings of one ligand are stacked with the central ring of the other ligand via π–π inter­actions, with the closest centroid-to-plane distances being 3.359 (6), 3.408 (5), 3.757 (6) and 3.659 (5) Å.

In the title compound, C29H23ClN2O, the 5-chloro­phenol ring and the imidazole ring are nearly coplanar, with a dihedral angle of 15.76 (9)° between them. The ethyl­phenyl ring and the two phenyl rings subtend angles of 71.09 (7), 43.95 (5) and 36.53 (9)°, respectively, with the imidazole plane. An intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond supports the mol­ecular conformation, and an inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­action, originating from an ortho-phenyl H atom, stabilizes the packing arrangement. In addition, a weak C—H⋯π inter­action, also involving an ortho-phenyl H atom, is observed.

In the title hydrated Schiff base, C13H12N4O3·H2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 5.06 (11)° and an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, Ow—H⋯O and Ow—H⋯N (w = water) hydrogen bonds link the components into centrosymmetric tetra­mers (two Schiff bases and two water mol­ecules). Longer N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the tetra­mers into [010] chains. A weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bond and aromatic π–π stacking between the pyrazine and phenyl rings [centroid–centroid separations = 3.604 (2) and 3.715 (2) Å] are also observed.

In the title compound, C12H9ClN2O, the dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 1.78 (4)° and an intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules into [001] chains.

The title compound, [Co(C18H37N2)2(NCS)4], consists of a cobalt(II) ion positioned on the origin of the triclinic unit cell. It is coordinated by the N atoms of two trans-oriented 1-dodecyl-4-aza-1-azoniabi­cyclo­[2.2.2]octane (DABCO+) cations, which carry n-dodecyl chains at the non-coordinating N atoms. The distorted octa­hedral coordination environment of the CoII ion is completed through four N atoms of iso­thio­cyanate ions, which are arranged within the equatorial plane. Non-classical hydrogen bonding of the types C—H⋯N and C—H⋯S between the filamentous mol­ecules lead to the formation of layers parallel to (001).

In the title complex, [NiCl2(C12H9N3)2]·H2O, a divalent nickel atom is coordinated by two 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral environment defined by four N donors of two N,N'-chelating ligands, along with two cis-oriented anionic chloride donors. The title complex crystallized with a water mol­ecule disordered over two positions. In the crystal, a combination of O—H⋯Cl, O—H.·O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, together with C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions, links the complex mol­ecules and the water mol­ecules to form a supra­molecular three-dimensional framework. The title complex is isostructural with the cobalt(II) dichloride complex reported previously [Das et al. (2011). Org. Biomol. Chem. 9, 7097–7107].

In the title compound, C16H21N3O4, the 1,4-di­hydro­pyridine ring adopts a flattened boat conformation, with the imidazole substituent in an axial orientation [dihedral angle between ring planes = 82.9 (6)°]. In the crystal structure, pairs of N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds with graph-set notation R22(14) connect the mol­ecules into chains running along the c-axis direction.

The title compound, [Bi(C9H6NS2)3], was prepared by reacting BiCl3 and 2-mercapto-4-phenyl­thia­zole (LH) at room temperature in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:4. The mol­ecular structure reveals a slightly distorted square-pyramidal environment around the BiIII atom. Two of the three monoanionic ligands L− coordinate in an N,S-bidentate mode, while one shows a monodentate mode through an S atom. There are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions present in the crystal.

In the title mol­ecule, C18H17FO5, the conformation about the C=C bond of the central enone group is trans. The dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 13.08 (3)°. The hy­droxy group attached to the benzene ring is involved in an intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains along [001].

The title compound, C25H22N2O2Se, crystallizes in the space group P21/c with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. The compound was synthesized by the addition of phenyl­selenyl bromide to a cyanamide. The phenyl­selenyl portion and the cyano group, as well as the ketone functional group in the cyclo­hexa-2,5-dien-1-one portion of the structure, are disordered, with occupancy factors of 0.555 (14) and 0.445 (14).

The structure of the title salt, C6H10N22+·2C7H7O3S−, consists of a unique benzene-1,2-diaminium dication charge balanced by a pair of crystallographically independent 4-methyl­benzene-1-sulfonate anions. The cations and anions are inter­linked by several N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C19H13IO2, the dihedral angle between the naphthyl ring system and the pendant iodo­phenyl ring is 72.48 (11)°. In the crystal, C—H⋯π inter­actions and I⋯O [3.293 (2) Å] halogen bonds are observed, which combine to generate a herringbone packing motif.

The title compound, C20H18N4O2, known as bis­pyrazolone, was crystallized from dimethyl sulfoxide. The structure has ortho­rhom­bic (Pbca) symmetry at 150 K, and displays both intra- and inter­molecular hydrogen bonding through C—H⋯O and N—H⋯O contacts, respectively. None of the phenyl and pyrazolone rings in the mol­ecule are coplanar. The dihedral angle between the pyrazolone rings is 66.18 (5)°.

The title hemihydrate, C12H9N5·0.5H2O, was isolated from the condensation reaction of quinoline-2-carbaldehyde with 4-amino-4H-1,2,4-triazole. The Schiff base mol­ecule adopts an E configuration about the C=N bond and is approximately planar, with a dihedral angle between the quinoline ring system and the 1,2,4-triazole ring of 12.2 (1)°. In the crystal, one water mol­ecule bridges two Schiff base mol­ecules via O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The Schiff base mol­ecules are inter­connected by π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid-centroid distances of 3.7486 (7) and 3.9003 (7) Å] into columns along [1overline{1}0].

The title carbonate hydrate, Cs2Mg4(CO3)5·10H2O, was crystallized at room temperature out of aqueous solutions containing caesium bicarbonate and magnesium nitrate.

The crystal under investigation was twinned by reticular pseudomerohedry.

The title compound, C21H39NS2, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit, both having a linear 18-carbon alkyl chain bound through a thio­ether group. No π–π stacking or hydrogen bonding is observed. The orientation of the alkyl chains facilitates inter­molecular inter­actions between te chains. The structure is metrically ortho­rhom­bic but crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 and was found to be twinned by pseudomerohedry (emulating ortho­rhom­bic symmetry) and by inversion. The twin factions refined to 0.37 (4), 0.13 (4), 0.31 (5), and 0.19 (4).

The title compound, C11H10N2O2S2, crystallizes with one complete mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, weak hydrogen bonding is observed between the N-oxide moieties and several C—H units.

The title compound, C16H9N3O2S2, was synthesized via a condensation reaction in refluxing acetic acid. One thienyl ring is nearly coplanar with the quinoxaline unit [dihedral angle = 3.29 (9)°], the other makes an angle of 83.96 (4)°.

The tricyclic core in the title compound, C26H34O4Si2, shows disorder of the furan ring and deviates slightly from planarity, with the largest displacement from the least-squares plane [0.166 (2) Å] for the major disordered part of the methine C atom. To this C atom the likewise disordered vinyl group is attached, lying nearly perpendicular to the tricyclic core. In the crystal, mutual C—H⋯π inter­actions between the methine group of the furan ring and the central ring of the tricyclic core of an adjacent mol­ecule lead to inversion-related dimers.

In the extended structure of the title mol­ecular salt, C6H9N2+·C7H7O3S−, the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to generate [010] chains.

In the title compound [systematic name: 5-methyl-1,3-bis­(2-oxoprop­yl)pyrimidine-2,4(1H,3H)-dione], C11H14N2O4, the two 2-oxopropyl groups are nearly perpendicular to the planar thymine unit. One methyl group of oxopropyl substituent is disordered. In the crystal, C—H⋯O inter­actions help to connect the mol­ecules into (001) layers.

The relative stereo- and regiochemistry of the racemic title compound, C25H19NO7, were established from the crystal structure. The fused benzene ring forms dihedral angles of 77.3 (1) and 60.3 (1)° with the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring, respectively. The dihedral angle between the hy­droxy-substituted benzene ring and the nitro-substituted benzene ring is 76.4 (1)°. An intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond closes an S(6) ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the mol­ecules, forming layers parallel to (100). Within these layers, there are weak π–π stacking inter­actions with a ring centroid–ring centroid distance of 3.555 (1) Å.

The structure of the tertiary amine tris­(1H-benzimidazol-2-ylmeth­yl)amine (C24H21N7, abbreviated ntb) has been previously reported twice as solvates, namely the monohydrate and the aceto­nitrile–methanol–water (1/0.5/1.5) solvate, both with the tripodal conformation formed via multiple hydrogen bonds. Now, we report the tri­methanol adduct, ntb·3CH3OH, where the amine has the stair conformation featuring one benzimidazole group oriented in the opposite direction from the other two. The asymmetric unit contains one-half amine, completed through the mirror plane m in space group Pmn21 to form the ntb mol­ecule, with the H atom for each imidazole moiety equally disordered between both N sites available in the imidazole ring. The asymmetric unit also contains one and a half methanol mol­ecules, one being placed in general position with the hy­droxy H atom disordered over two sites with occupancy ratio 1:1, while the other lies on the m mirror plane, and has thus its hy­droxy H atom disordered by symmetry. As in the previously reported solvates, all imine and amine groups of the ntb mol­ecules and the methanol mol­ecules are involved in N—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In the title compound, however, the involved H atom is systematically a disordered H atom provided by an imidazole group or a methanol mol­ecule.
