Azatetracene compounds comprise a promising family of n-type semiconductors. Straightforward to synthesise, these materials are compatible with vapour deposition techniques and exhibit π-stacking and hydrogen bonding governed crystal packing.

We report the preparation of a series of new 4′-substituted 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridines: 4′-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (2), 4′-(3-fluoro-5-methylphenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (3), 4′-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (4), and 4′-(3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (5). The compounds have been characterized by mass spectrometry, solid-state IR spectroscopy and solution NMR and absorption spectroscopies. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction structures of 3, 5 and 6·EtOH (6 = 4′-(3,5-bis(tert-butyl)phenyl)-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) have been elucidated. The molecular structures of the compounds are unexceptional. Since 3 and 5 crystallize without lattice solvent, we are able to understand the influence of introducing substituents in the 4′-phenyl ring and compare the packing in the structures with that of the previously reported 4′-phenyl-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine (1). On going from 1 to 3, face-to-face π-stacking of pairs of 3-fluoro-5-methylphenyl rings contributes to a change in packing from a herringbone assembly in 1 with no ring π-stacking to a layer-like packing. The latter arises through a combination of π-stacking of aromatic rings and N…H–C hydrogen bonding. On going from 3 to 5, N…H–C and F…H–C hydrogen-bonding is dominant, supplemented by π-stacking interactions between pairs of pyridine rings. A comparison of the packing of molecules of 6 with that in 1, 3 and 5 is difficult because of the incorporation of solvent in 6·EtOH.

In the title compound, [OsBr(C10H14)(C7H5O2)], the central OsIIion is ligated by a hexahaptic η6p-cymene ring, a Br−ligand and two O atoms of a chelating tropolonate group. Thep-cymene ligand presents more than one conformation, giving rise to a discrete disorder, which was modelled with two different orientations with occupancy values of 0.561 (15) and 0.439 (15). The crystal packing features C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonding. Aromatic π–π stacking interactions are also observed between adjacent non-benzenoid aromatic tropolone rings.

The crystal structures ofcis-dichlorido(ethylamine-κN)(piperidine-κN)platinum(II), [PtCl2(C2H7N)(C5H11N)], (I),cis-dichlorido(3-methoxyaniline-κN)(piperidine-κN)platinum(II), [PtCl2(C5H11N)(C7H9NO)], (II), andcis-dichlorido(piperidine-κN)(quinoline-κN)platinum(II), [PtCl2(C5H11N)(C9H7N)], (III), have been determined at 100 K in order to verify the influence of the nonpiperidine ligand on the geometry and crystal packing. The crystal packing is characterized by N—H...Cl hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of chains of molecules connected in a head-to-tail fashion. Hydrogen-bonding interactions play a major role in the packing of (I), where the chains further aggregate into planes, but less so in the case of (II) and (III), where π–π stacking interactions are of greater importance.

The molecular nickel complexes trans-diazido-tetrakis(pyrazole)nickel(II) and trans-diazido- tetrakis(3-methylpyrazole)nickel(II) feature terminal monohapto-bound azide ligands. The pyrazole (pyr) ring planes are aligned along the Nazide-Ni-Nazide axis by intramolecular N-H···Nazide bonds. The crystal packing is controlled by π-stacking between both pyrazole rings and azide ligands, N-H···Nazide hydrogen bonds, and intermolecular N-H-πpyr and C-H···N/πazide interactions.

The molecules of the title compound, [Cu2Br4(C10H8N2O2)2], are centrosymmetric dimers. The CuIIatom exhibits a distorted square-pyramidal coordination geometry, with two bridging bromide ligands and the N atoms of the 4,4′-dihydroxy-2,2′-bipyridine chelate in the equatorial plane. π–π stacking and hydrogen-bonding interactions of the O—H...Br, C—H...·Br and C—H...O types consolidate the crystal packing.

The rational design of conformationally controlled foldable modules can lead to a deeper insight into the conformational space of complex biological molecules where non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and π-stacking are known to play a pivotal role. Squaramides are known to have excellent hydrogen bonding capabilities and hence, are ideal molecules for designing foldable modules that can mimic the secondary structures of bio-molecules. The π-stacking induced folding of bis-squaraines tethered using aliphatic primary and secondary-diamine linkers of varying length is explored with a simple strategy of invoking small perturbations involving the length linkers and degree of substitution. Solution phase NMR investigations in combination with molecular dynamics simulations suggest that bis-squaraines predominantly exist as extended conformations. Structures elucidated by X-ray crystallography confirmed a variety of folded and extended secondary conformations including hairpin turns and 𝛽-sheets which are determined by the hierarchy of π-stacking relative to N–H···O hydrogen bonds.
