A novel ethoxy derivative of an amino acid chemosensor, 3-naphthyl-1-phenyl-5-(2ʹ-fluoro-5ʹ-nitrophenyl)-2-pyrazoline (NPFNP), has been synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic methods.  A single crystal of the ethoxy derivative, 3-naphthyl-1-phenyl-5-(2ʹ-ethoxy-5ʹ-nitrophenyl)-2-pyrazoline NPENP, has been obtained and characterized.  The structure holds interest as it carries biologically active pyrazoline as a central ring attaching to electron donating and withdrawing substituents. The major motivation for this work was to gain detailed insight into the structural parameters of this compound for investigating the influence of crystal packing and geometrical dimensions on optical properties. Time-dependent DFT calculations have been employed for comparing the XRD data with theoretical parameters. The results show that the DFT method at B3LYP/6-31G level can well reproduce the structure of the title compound.

The crystal structure of [ZnCl2(NH3)2], diamminedichloridozinc, was re-investigated at low temperature, revealing the positions of the hydrogen atoms and thus a deeper insight into the hydrogen-bonding scheme in the crystal packing. In comparison with previous crystal structure determinations [MacGillavry & Bijvoet (1936). Z. Kristallogr. 94, 249–255; Yamaguchi & Lindqvist (1981). Acta Chem. Scand. 35, 727–728], an improved precision of the structural parameters was achieved. In the crystal, tetrahedral [Zn(NH3)2Cl2] units (point-group symmetry mm2) are linked through N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

Intermolecular interactions involving the aromatic C—F group in the absence of other strong hydrogen bond acceptors is the theme of this article. Weak interactions involving fluorine are known to generate various supramolecular synthons, thereby altering the crystal structures of small organic molecules. It is demonstrated that the weak interactions involving organic fluorine play a major role in directing crystal packing of highly flexible organic molecules like diphenyl tetrahydroisoquinolines reported herein. The intramolecular C—H...F hydrogen bonds are found to be significant in controlling the molecular conformation in specific cases wheras the intermolecular interactions involving the C—F groups result in a wide range of supramolecular synthons involving C—H...F and C—F...F—C interactions. The interactions are studied computationally to provide insight into their energies and the topology of the interactions is studied using Atoms in Molecules. C—H...F—C interactions are found to be quite stabilizing in nature with the stabilization energy of −13.9 kcal mol−1.

For five bromomethylated azobenzenes, namely (E)-[4-(bromomethyl)phenyl][4-(dibromomethyl)phenyl]diazene, C14H11Br3N2, (E)-1,2-bis[4-(dibromomethyl)phenyl]diazene, C14H10Br4N2, (E)-[3-(bromomethyl)phenyl][3-(dibromomethyl)phenyl]diazene, C14H11Br3N2, (E)-[3-(dibromomethyl)phenyl][3-(tribromomethyl)phenyl]diazene, C14H10Br4N2, and (E)-1,2-bis[3-(dibromomethyl)phenyl]diazene, C14H9Br5N2, the computationally cheap CLP PIXEL approach and CrystalExplorer were used for calculating lattice energies and performing Hirshfeld surface analysis via the enrichment ratios of atomic contacts. The procedures and caveats are discussed in detail. The findings from these tools are contrasted with the results of geometric analysis of the structures. We conclude that an energy-based discussion of the crystal packing provides substantially more insight than one based purely on geometry, as has so long been the custom in crystallography. In addition, we find a surprising shortage of halogen–halogen interactions in these highly bromomethylated compounds.

The structure of a 1:1 β-cyclodextrin–dimethylformamide hydrated complex has been determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. A complete study of the structure is presented herein, including invariom refinement and interaction energy calculations. The structure has unit-cell parameters that are different from those of other β-cyclodextrin complexes crystallizing in the same space group, but exhibits the known herringbone packing type. A structural comparison of these complexes has been carried out withXPacin order to understand the origin of the differences in packing and unit-cell parameters. The results show that the differences are most likely ascribed to variations in hydration and in the hydrogen-bonded network.

AbstractThe low-temperature (LT) polymorph of tetramethyldiphosphine-bis(monoborane), Me2(H3B)PP( BH3)Me2, was obtained by crystallization from diethyl ether at 4 °C. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c, a = 6.464(1), b = 7.605(1), c = 11.867(2) Å , β = 119.99(1)° (at 153 K) with 2 molecules per unit cell. This implies that the individual molecules have crystallographic inversion symmetry and a strict anti arrangement with respect to the central B-P-P-B skeleton. At 87.6 °C (DTA) the LT polymorph transforms to the high-temperature (HT) modification which contains the anti and gauche conformers in a 1:2 ratio (P21/c, Z = 6; H. L. Carrell, J. Donohue, Acta Crystallogr. B24, 699 (1968)). This strongly suggests that the gauche conformer is higher in energy and stabilized by the crystal packing of the HT modification. The P-P-B angle in the anti LT form (113.91(6)°) ascertains the value of the anti conformer in the HT form (114.4(6)°) which was found to be significantly different from the gauche conformer which centered around 110 °C.
