It has been shown previously that certain anesthetics hinder the formation of hydrogen bonds of the [Formula: see text] types. An attempt bas now been made to correlate this hydrogen bond 'breaking' property with anesthetic potency. As a measure of the former, relative intensifies of infrared bands related to 'free' and hydrogen bonded species were used. The band which was chosen for this purpose is the OH or NH stretching + in-plane bending combination band. This made it possible to carry out the measurements at room temperature. A semi-quantitative relationship has been found. Its significance for the theories of anesthesia is discussed.

In order to study the preferred hydrogen-bonding pattern of 6-amino-2-thiouracil, C4H5N3OS, (I), crystallization experiments yielded five different pseudopolymorphs of (I), namely the dimethylformamide disolvate, C4H5N3OS·2C3H7NO, (Ia), the dimethylacetamide monosolvate, C4H5N3OS·C4H9NO, (Ib), the dimethylacetamide sesquisolvate, C4H5N3OS·1.5C4H9NO, (Ic), and two different 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one sesquisolvates, C4H5N3OS·1.5C5H9NO, (Id) and (Ie). All structures containR21(6) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs. In the latter four structures, additionalR22(8) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs are present stabilizing homodimers of (I). No type of hydrogen bond other than N—H...O is observed. According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, most 2-thiouracil derivatives form homodimers stabilized by anR22(8) hydrogen-bonding pattern, with (i) only N—H...O, (ii) only N—H...S or (iii) alternating pairs of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.

The title benzofuran derivatives 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF1), C19H18N2O6, and 2-methoxyethyl 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF2), C18H16N2O7, recently attracted attention because of their promising antitumoral activity. BF1 crystallizes in the space group P\overline{1}. BF2 in the space group P21/c. The nitrophenyl group is inclined to benzofuran moiety with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 69.2 (2)° in BF1 and 60.20 (6)° in BF2. A common feature in the molecular structures of BF1 and BF2 is the intramolecular N—H...Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond. In the crystal of BF1, the molecules are linked head-to-tail into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding pattern along the a-axis direction. In BF2, pairs of head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules along the b-axis direction are linked by O—H...Omethoxy hydrogen bonds. In BF1, the butyl group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.557 (13) and 0.443 (13).

In the structure of the brucinium salt of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid (p-arsanilic acid), systematically 2,3-dimethoxy-10-oxostrychnidinium 4-aminophenylarsonate tetrahydrate, (C23H27N2O4)[As(C6H7N)O2(OH)]·4H2O, the brucinium cations form the characteristic undulating and overlapping head-to-tail layered brucine substructures packed along [010]. The arsanilate anions and the water molecules of solvation are accommodated between the layers and are linked to them through a primary cation N—H...O(anion) hydrogen bond, as well as through water O—H...O hydrogen bonds to brucinium and arsanilate ions as well as bridging water O-atom acceptors, giving an overall three-dimensional network structure.

The molecular and supramolecular structures of eight N 4-substituted 2,4-diamino-6-benzyloxy-5-nitrosopyrimidines are discussed, along with one analogue containing no nitroso substituent. The nitroso derivatives all exhibit polarized molecular-electronic structures leading to extensive charge-assisted hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The intermolecular interactions include hard hydrogen bonds of N—H...O and N—H...N types, together with O—H...O and O—H...N types in the monohydrate of 2-amino-6-benzyloxy-4-piperidino-5-nitrosopyrimidine, soft hydrogen bonds of C—H...O, C—H...π(arene) and N—H...π(arene) types and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. The predominant supramolecular structure types take the form of chains and sheets, but no two of the structures determined here exhibit the same combination of hydrogen-bond types.

Infrared measurements show that fluorocarbons containing higher halogens are able to open O—H---O, N—H---N, S—H---S, N—H---O=C, type hydrogen bonds. This is probably due to a competitive mechanism of association consisting in the formation of donor–acceptor complexes. It is suggested that the breaking or perturbation of hydrogen bonds by this mechanism is of importance for the explanation of the anesthetic activity of these compounds.

In the title crystal structure, C9H14O3·H2O, the water molecule accepts a hydrogen bond from the carboxyl group [O...O = 2.6004 (13) Å and O—H...O = 163°], while donating hydrogen bonds to the ketone [O...O = 2.8193 (14) Å and O—H...O = 178 (2)°] and the acid carbonyl groups [O...O = 2.8010 (14) Å and O—H...O = 174 (2)°]. This creates a network of hydrogen bonds confined within a continuous flat ribbon two molecules in width and extending in the [101] direction.

The preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns in the crystal structures of 5-propyl-2-thiouracil, C7H10N2OS, (I), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil, C5H6N2O2S, (II), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C5H6N2O2S·C4H9NO, (IIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil, C6H8N2OS, (III), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C6H8N2OS·C5H9NO, (IIIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C3H7NO, (IIIb), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C4H9NO, (IIIc), and 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–dimethyl sulfoxide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C2H6OS, (IIId), were analysed. All eight structures containR22(8) patterns. In (II), (IIa), (III) and (IIIa), they are formed by two N—H...S hydrogen bonds, and in (I) by alternating pairs of N—H...S and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the structures of (IIIb), (IIIc) and (IIId) contain `mixed'R22(8) patterns with one N—H...S and one N—H...O hydrogen bond, as well asR22(8) motifs with two N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

The asymmetric unit of the title organic salt [systematic name: 1H-pyrazol-2-ium 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate–1H-pyrazole (1/1)], H(C3H4N2)2+·C6H2N3O7−, consists of one picrate anion and one hydrogen-bonded dimer of a pyrazolium monocation. The H atom involved in the dimer N—H...N hydrogen bond is disordered over both symmetry-unique pyrazole molecules with occupancies of 0.52 (5) and 0.48 (5). In the crystal, the component ions are linked into chains along [100] by two different bifurcated N—H...(O,O) hydrogen bonds. In addition, weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds link inversion-related chains, forming columns along [100].
