Abstract The delicate balance among conformation, coordination bonds and hydrogen bonding has been probed in solvatomorphs of known metal-organic molecules synthesised from copper(II), cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) with acetate (OAc) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy). The Cu(OAc)2(bipy) complex, isolated as a pentahydrate, has the acetate ligands oriented to opposite sides of the coordination square plane. DFT calculations show the energy difference between this structure and a syn form amount to approximately 16 kJ/mol. The presence of lattice water enables the formation of O–H···O hydrogen bonds with the acetate ligands. Different coordination numbers and energies are found as a function of the number of water molecules co-crystallising in the Cd(OAc)2(bipy)(OH2)·3H2O and [Co(OAc)(bipy)2](OAc)·3H2O complexes.

A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X–CH3 can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ≤ 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (≤ –1.5 kcal·mol−1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me3N-CH3···OH2] (2a). The interaction energy is enhanced to ≤–5 kcal·mol−1 when X is more electron withdrawing such as in [O2N-CH3··O=Cdme] (20b) and to ≤18 kcal·mol−1 in cationic species like [Me3O+-CH3···OH2]+ (8a).

The title compound, (systematic name:N,N′-dibenzyl-3,3′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine), C28H28N2O2, was synthesized by the reduction of a Schiff base preparedviaa condensation reaction betweeno-dianisidine and benzaldehyde under acidic conditions. The molecule lies on a crystallographic inversion centre so that the asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule. The biphenyl moiety compound is essentially planar. Two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds occur. The dihedral angle between the terminal phenyl and phenylene rings of a benzidine unit is 48.68 (6)°. The methylene C atom of the benzyl group is disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy ratio 0.779 (18):0.221 (18). In the crystal, molecules are connected by hydrogen bonding betweeno-dianisidine O atoms and H atoms of the terminal benzyl groups, forming a one-dimensional ladder-like structure. In the data from DFT calculations, the central biphenyl showed a twisted conformation.

1,3-Diisobutyl thiourea was synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It gives a monoclinic (α=γ= 90 andβ  ≠90) structure with the space group P21/c. The unit cell dimensions area= 11.5131 (4) Å,b= 9.2355 (3) Å,c= 11.3093 (5) Å,α= 90°,β= 99.569° (2),γ= 90°,V= 1185.78 (8) Å3, andZ= 4. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular (N–H⋯S) hydrogen bonding in the molecules. The optimized geometry and Mullikan's charges of the said molecule calculated with the help of DFT using B3LYP-6-311G model support the crystal structure.
