These oligomers adopt a regular zig-zag strand-like secondary structure which does not rely on intra-residue 6-ring hydrogen bonds for stability.

The crystal structure of tofacitinib dihydrogen citrate (tofacitinib citrate) has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Tofacitinib dihydrogen citrate crystallizes in space group P212121 (#19) with a = 5.91113(1), b = 12.93131(3), c = 30.43499(7) Å, V = 2326.411(6) Å3, and Z = 4. The crystal structure consists of corrugated layers perpendicular to the c-axis. Within the layers, cation⋯anion and anion⋯anion hydrogen bonds link the fragments into a two-dimensional network parallel to the ab-plane. Between the layers, there are only van der Waals contacts. A terminal carboxylic acid group in the citrate anion forms a strong charge-assisted hydrogen bond to the ionized central carboxylate group. The other carboxylic acid acts as a donor to the carbonyl group of the cation. The citrate hydroxy group forms an intramolecular charge-assisted hydrogen bond to the ionized central carboxylate. Two protonated nitrogen atoms in the cation act as donors to the ionized central carboxylate of the anion. These hydrogen bonds form a ring with the graph set symbol R2,2(8). The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

In (E)-1-(4-methyl-2-nitrobenzenethiolato)-2-phenylethene, C15H13NO2S (1) (orthorhombic Pbca), the nitro group is almost coplanar with the adjacent aryl ring, but the dihedral angles between the nitro-aryl and styryl fragments is ∼121°. The molecules are linked by paired C—H...O hydrogen bonds in a chain of rings. In S-(2-nitrophenyl)benzenecarbothiolate, C13H9NO3S (2) (monoclinic P21/a), the nitro group is rotated by 33.0 (2)° out of the plane of the adjacent aryl ring and the thiobenzoate group is strongly twisted away from the plane of the disubstituted aryl ring. The molecules of (2) are linked into chains by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and each chain is linked to two neighbouring chains by means of aromatic π...π stacking interactions. In 1-(2-nitrophenylthio)-2,5-pyrrolidinedione, C10H8N2O4S (3) (monoclinic P21/a), the nitro group is again almost coplanar with the adjacent aryl ring, but the pyrrolidinedione unit is almost orthogonal to the O2NC6H4SN plane. There are three types of C—H...O hydrogen bond in the structure, and these link the molecules into a two-dimensional net. The conformations of these molecules have been investigated by SCF calculations and two energy minima have been identified for each: the molecules of (1) and (3) adopt conformations in their crystals which are close to those at the overall energy minima calculated for isolated molecules, while molecules of (2) adopt a conformation in the crystal close to that calculated for the local energy minimum. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds and it is concluded that, while the nature of the two conformational minima is determined by intramolecular forces, the choice between them is determined primarily by intermolecular forces.

The title compound, also known as isopimaric acid, C20H30O2, was isolated from slash pine rosin. There are two unique molecules in the unit cell. The two cyclohexane rings have classical chair conformations. The cyclohexene ring represents a semi-chair. The molecular conformation is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The molecules are dimerized through their carboxyl groups by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8) rings.

Epalerstat {systematic name: (5Z)-5-[(2E)-2-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-ylidene]-4-oxo-2-sulfanylidene-1,3-thiazolidine-3-acetic acid} crystallized as an acetone monosolvate, C15H13NO3S2·C3H6O. In the epalerstat molecule, the methylpropylenediene moiety is inclined to the phenyl ring and the five-membered rhodamine ring by 21.4 (4) and 4.7 (4)°, respectively. In addition, the acetic acid moiety is found to be almost normal to the rhodamine ring, making a dihedral angle of 85.1 (2)°. In the crystal, a pair of O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic acid groups of epalerstat molecules form inversion dimers with an R 2 2(8) loop. The dimers are linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds, enclosing R 2 2(20) loops, forming chains propagating along the [101] direction. In addition, the acetone molecules are linked to the chain by a C—H...O hydrogen bond. Epalerstat acetone monosolvate was found to be isotypic with epalerstat tertrahydrofuran solvate [Umeda et al. (2017). Acta Cryst. E73, 941–944].

Abstract The tendency of forming mixed carboxyl-to-oxime hydrogen bonds was tested on the series of bornane derivatives: one with the acid function only (bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid), one with the oxime function (2,2′-diethylthiobomane-3-oxime), and one with both oxime and carboxylic functions (bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid). The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. In bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid and 2,2′-diethylthiobornane-3-oxime 'homogenic' hydrogen bonds were found, and these hydrogen bonds close eight-and six-membered rings, respectively. By contrast, in bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid 'heterogenic' hydrogen bonds between carboxylic and oxime bonds were found. This carboxylic-oxime, or 'carboxyoxime' system is almost always present in compounds which have both oxime and carboxylic groups; therefore it can be regarded as an element of supramolecular structures (synthon). The presence of such synthons can break the tendency of carboxylic acids and oximes towards crystallizing in centrosymmetric structures.
