Abstract In the solid state diallylamine forms supramolecular helices with four molecules per pitch that are held together by hydrogen bonding. The helical structure is the result of competing length scales at which hydrogen bonding and second-neighbour Van-der-Waals interactions occur. The structure features two crystallographically independent helices and four unique molecules in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 4). The high Z′ value is partly a consequence of the centrosymmetric pseudo-hexagonal packing of helical columns, which is incompatible with helical spacegroup symmetries. Graphic Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, C7H7N2+·BF4−, comprises two independent but nearly identical formula units. The solid-state structure comprises corrugated layers of cations and anions, formed by C—H...F hydrogen bonding, that are approximately parallel to (010). Further C—H...F hydrogen bonding consolidates the three-dimensional architecture. The sample was refined as a two-component non-merohedral twin.

The tetraphenylphosphonium squarate salt crystallizes with a number of diverse interactions, which all have the potential to be classified as hydrogen bonds. The squarate anions are found as dimers linked by O-H···O interactions. The multipole refinement of the tetraphenylphosphonium squarate was performed using the Hansen–Coppens model followed by topological analysis of its intermolecular interactions. A total of 28 interactions were found among the symmetry related molecules, which include a number of C-H···Cπ, C-H···O, and C-H···H-C interactions, along with the O-H···O interaction. With the criteria for hydrogen bonding proposed by Popelier and Koch, it is possible to determine which of these interactions are hydrogen bonds and which are van der Waals interactions. Both linear and exponentially dependent correlations can be seen for the properties of the bond critical points involving the intermolecular interactions that fulfill these criteria. All this leads to a better understanding of the role that hydrogen bonds play in the formation of small organic compounds.Key words: electron density, multiple refinement, hydrogen bonds.

Triethylene diamine (DABCO) can interact with H2O and CO2 in air to form dimeric and trimeric complexes via hydrogen bond, tetrel bond as well as van der Waals interactions.

The monoclinic crystals (space group P21/a, Z = 8) of 2-phenyl-4-hydroxyphthalazin-1-one, C14H10N2O2, have two independent molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. Both occur as the lactim–lactam (hydroxy–one) structure, which is also found in the parent molecule maleic hydrazide (both triclinic and monoclinic polymorphs), dichloromaleic hydrazide and luminol (3-aminophthalhydrazide). The molecular arrangement is based on strings of alternating A and B molecules linked by hydroxyl...carbonyl hydrogen bonds, with only van der Waals interactions between adjacent strings. Comparison is made of the measured bond lengths for (monoclinic) maleic hydrazide and values from high-level ab initio calculations, and reasonably good agreement is obtained, with indications of improvements when allowance is made for electron correlation and hydrogen bonding.

The asymmetric unit of the mononuclear title complex, [NiBr2(C3H8O)4], comprises a NiIIcation located on a centre of inversion, one Br−anion and two propan-2-ol ligands. The NiIIcation exhibits a distortedtrans-Br2O4environment. There are O—H...Br hydrogen bonds connecting neighbouring molecules into rows along [100]. These rows are arranged in a distorted hexagonal packing and are held together by van der Waals forces only.
