In the title tri-substituted thiourea derivative, C13H18N2O3S, the thione-S and carbonyl-O atoms lie, to a first approximation, to the same side of the molecule [the S—C—N—C torsion angle is −49.3 (2)°]. The CN2S plane is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) with the hydroxyethyl groups lying to either side of this plane. One hydroxyethyl group is orientated towards the thioamide functionality enabling the formation of an intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond leading to an S(7) loop. The dihedral angle [72.12 (9)°] between the planes through the CN2S atoms and the 4-tolyl ring indicates the molecule is twisted. The experimental molecular structure is close to the gas-phase, geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. In the molecular packing, hydroxyl-O—H...O(hydroxyl) and hydroxyl-O—H...S(thione) hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a supramolecular layer in the ab plane; no directional interactions are found between layers. The influence of the specified supramolecular interactions is apparent in the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces and these are shown to be attractive in non-covalent interaction plots; the interaction energies point to the important stabilization provided by directional O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

The crystallization and characterization of a new polymorph of 2-thiouracil by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis and periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations are described. The previously published polymorph (A) crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\overline{1}, while that described herein (B) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. Periodic DFT calculations showed that the energies of polymorphs A and B, compared to the gas-phase geometry, were −108.8 and −29.4 kJ mol−1, respectively. The two polymorphs have different intermolecular contacts that were analyzed and are discussed in detail. Significant differences in the molecular structure were found only in the bond lengths and angles involving heteroatoms that are involved in hydrogen bonds. Decomposition of the Hirshfeld fingerprint plots revealed that O...H and S...H contacts cover over 50% of the noncovalent contacts in both of the polymorphs; however, they are quite different in strength. Hydrogen bonds of the N—H...O and N—H...S types were found in polymorph A, whereas in polymorph B, only those of the N—H...O type are present, resulting in a different packing in the unit cell. QTAIM (quantum theory of atoms in molecules) computational analysis showed that the interaction energies for these weak-to-medium strength hydrogen bonds with a noncovalent or mixed interaction character were estimated to fall within the ranges 5.4–10.2 and 4.9–9.2 kJ mol−1 for polymorphs A and B, respectively. Also, the NCI (noncovalent interaction) plots revealed weak stacking interactions. The interaction energies for these interactions were in the ranges 3.5–4.1 and 3.1–5.5 kJ mol−1 for polymorphs A and B, respectively, as shown by QTAIM analysis.

The paper deals with the solvation of Li+, Be2+, Na+, Mg2+, and Al3+ ions in dimethyl sulphoxide, dimethylformamide, acetonitrile, and water. The ab initio quantum chemical method was used to calculate the solvation energies, molecular structures, and charge distributions for the complexes water···ion, acetonitrile···ion, dimethyl sulphoxide···ion, and dimethylformamide···ion. The interaction energies were corrected for the superposition error. Complete geometry optimization was performed for the complex water···ion. Some generalizations are made on the basis of the results obtained.
