Two novel mixed ligand complexes with general formula [M2(4,4′-bpy)1.5(CBr2HCOO)6(H2O)2]n (where 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) were synthesized. Thermal analysis was used to describe a solid intermediate and final products of thermolysis. A coupled TG-MS system was used to monitor principal volatile fragments evolved during pyrolysis. Crystal structures of the complexes were determined. Cationic dinuclear M2 (M(III) = La, Sm) coordination cores were obtained. Both crystal structures are isostructural. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that investigated structures of 1D coordination polymers assembled in ladder-like systems. The central atom replacement resulted in unit cell identity parameter П = 0.0091. Additionally, the isostructurality of the reported La(III) and Sm(III) complexes was revealed using Hirshfeld Surface analysis supported by Enrichment Ratio calculations.

AbstractThe crystal structures of two closely related compounds, namely, N-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-benzenesulfonamide (I) and N-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide (II) are investigated by analysing the packing patterns and intermolecular interactions, and also by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The crystal structure of each of (I) and (II) displays a two-dimensional architecture. Hirshfeld surfaces comprising d

Abstract The crystal structures of four azines, namely 1-3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 1, 1,3-bis(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 2, 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 3, and 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 4, are reported. Molecules of 3 and 4, and both independent molecules of 2, Mol A and Mol B, possess inversion centers. The central C=N–N=C units in each molecule is planar with an (E,E) conformation. The intermolecular interactions found in the four compounds are C–H···O, C–H–N, C–H---π and π---π interactions. However, there is no consistent set of intermolecular interactions for the four compounds. Compound, 1, has a two-dimensional undulating sheet structure, generated from C–H···O and C–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The only recognized intermolecular interaction in 2 is a C–H···O hydrogen bond, which results in a zig-zag chain of alternating molecules, Mol A and Mol B. While 3 forms a puckered sheet of molecules, solely via C–H···π interactions, its isomeric compound, 4, has a more elaborate three-dimensional structure generated from a combination of C–H···O hydrogen bonds, C–H···π and π···π interactions. The findings in this study, based on both PLATON and Hirshfeld approaches, for the four representative compounds match well the reported structural findings in the literature of related compounds, which are based solely on geometric parameters.

The crystal structures of the complexes of malonic acid with DL- and L-arginine, which contain positively charged argininium ions and negatively charged semimalonate ions, further demonstrate the conformational flexibility of amino acids. A larger proportion of folded conformations than would be expected on the basis of steric consideration appears to occur in arginine, presumably because of the requirements of hydrogen bonding. The aggregation pattern in the DL-arginine complex bears varying degrees of resemblance to patterns observed in other similar structures. An antiparallel hydrogen-bonded dimeric arrangement of arginine, and to a lesser extent lysine, is a recurring motif. Similarities also exist among the structures in the interactions with this motif and its assembly into larger features of aggregation. However, the aggregation pattern observed in the L-arginine complex differs from any observed so far, which demonstrates that all the general patterns of amino-acid aggregation have not yet been elucidated. The two complexes represent cases where the reversal of the chirality of half the amino-acid molecules leads to a fundamentally different aggregation pattern.

A new polymorph belonging to the tetrahydropyrimidinium class of compounds, namely 6-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-methyl-2-(3-(trifluoromethylthio)phenylamino)-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1-ium chloride, and a hydrate of 2-(3-bromophenylamino)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(methoxycarbonyl)-4-methyl-3,6-dihydropyrimidin-1-ium chloride, have been isolated and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). A detailed comprehensive analysis of the crystal packing in terms of the associated intermolecular interactions and a quantification of their interaction energies have been performed for both forms of the two different organic salts (AandB) using X-ray crystallography and computational methods such as density functional theory (DFT) quantum mechanical calculations, PIXEL lattice-energy calculations (with decomposition of total lattice energy into the Coulombic, polarization, dispersion and repulsion contribution), the calculation of the Madelung constant (the EUGEN method), Hirshfeld and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The presence of ionic [N—H]+...Cl−and [C—H]+...Cl−hydrogen bonds mainly stabilizes the crystal packing in both formsAandB, while in the case ofB·H2O [N—H]+...Owaterand Owater—H...Cl−hydrogen bonds along with [N—H]+...Cl−and [C—H]+...Cl−provide stability to the crystal packing. The lattice-energy calculations from both PIXEL and EUGEN methods revealed that in the case ofA, form (I) (monoclinic) is more stable whereas forBit is the anhydrous form that is more stable. The analysis of the `Madelung mode' of crystal packing of two forms ofAandBand its hydrates suggest that differences exist in the position of the charged ions/atoms in the organic solid state. TheR/E(distance–energy) plots for all the crystal structures show that the molecular pairs in their crystal packing are connected with either highly stabilizing (due to the presence of organicR+and Cl−) or highly destabilizing Coulombic contacts. The difference in crystal packing and associated intermolecular interactions between polymorphs (in the case ofA) or the hydrates (in the case ofB) have been clearly elucidated by the analysis of Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The relative contributions of the various interactions to the Hirshfeld surface for the cationic (dihydropyrimidinium) part and anionic (chloride ion) part for the two forms ofAandBand its hydrate were observed to be different.
