AbstractFentanyl is a potent synthetic opioid pain reliever with a high bioavailability that can be used as prescription anesthetic. Rapid identification via non-contact methods of both known and emerging opioid substances in the fentanyl family help identify the substances and enable rapid medical attention. We apply PBEh-3c method to identify vibrational normal modes from 0.01 to 3 THz in solid fentanyl and its selected analogs. The molecular structure of each fentanyl analog and unique arrangement of H-bonds and dispersion interactions significantly change crystal packing and is subsequently reflected in the THz spectrum. Further, the study of THz spectra of a series of stereoisomers shows that small changes in molecular structure results in distinct crystal packing and significantly alters THz spectra as well. We discuss spectral features of synthetic opioids with higher potency than conventional fentanyl such as ohmefentanyl and sufentanil and discover the pattern of THz spectra of fentanyl analogs.

The VESCF(BJ)-MO electric dipole moments, molecular ionization potentials, electronic bond energies, charge distributions, and bond orders for nitramide, N-methylnitramine, and s- and as-N,N- dimethylnitramines are reported. The packing of nitramide, RDX, and HNX in their molecular crystals is rationalized in terms of electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. Simple VB structures do not readily predict their calculated MO charge distributions and bond orders.

In the title complex, [Co(C25H35N2O)2], the cobalt(II) atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry provided by pairs of O and N atoms. The dihedral angles between the benzene rings of the same ligand are 52.39 (9) and 34.96 (9)°. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is stabilized mainly by van der Waals forces. The structure contains a solvent-accessible void of 276 Å3which was treated using the SQUEEZE routine fromPLATON[Spek (2015).Acta Cryst.C71, 9–18]. The methyl C atoms of thetert-butyl groups are rotationally disordered, with site occupancies of 0.802 (3) and 0.548 (9) for the major components and 0.198 (3) and 0.452 (9) for the minor components.

The furan ring in the title compound, C27H20N2O2, adopts a twisted conformation about thesp3—sp3bond. The molecular structure is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O interaction which generates anS(6) ring motif. The crystal packing is stabilized by N—H...O and C—H...O interactions generating centrosymmetricR22(18) andC(6) chain motifs, respectively. A weak C—H...π interaction is also observed.

The intermolecular interactions and salt formation of acridine with 4-aminosalicylic acid, 5-chlorosalicylic acid and hippuric acid were investigated. The salts obtained were acridin-1-ium 4-aminosalicylate (4-amino-2-hydroxybenzoate), C13H10N+·C7H6NO3 − (I), acridin-1-ium 5-chlorosalicylate (5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate), C13H10N+·C7H4ClO3 − (II), and acridin-1-ium hippurate (2-benzamidoacetate) monohydrate, C13H10N+·C9H8NO3 −·H2O (III). Acridine is involved in strong intermolecular interactions with the hydroxy group of the three acids, enabling it to form supramolecular assemblies. Hirshfeld surfaces, fingerprint plots and enrichment ratios were generated and investigated, and the intermolecular interactions were analyzed, revealing their quantitative contributions in the crystal packing of salts I, II and III. A quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) analysis shows the charge–density distribution of the intermolecular interactions. The isosurfaces of the noncovalent interactions were studied, which allows visualization of where the hydrogen-bonding and dispersion interactions contribute within the crystal.

In the title compound, C20H18O3, the phenyl ring makes a dihedral angle of 39.97 (4)° with the benzene ring of the chromanone unit. The molecular structure and the crystal packing are stabilized by weak intra- and intermolecular C—H...O interactions.

In the title compound, C28H22N2O8S, the carbazole ring system is roughly planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.084 (3) Å for the C atom connected to the 4,5-dimethoxy-2-nitrophenyl ring. The dihedral angle between the carbazole system and the dimethoxy-substituted nitrophenyl ring is 57.05 (10)°. The aldehyde C atom deviates by 0.164 (5) Å from its attached carbazole ring system. The molecular structure is stabilized by C—H...O interactions which generate twoS(6) and oneS(7) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, formingR33(15) ring motifs, which are further crosslinked byR32(19) ring motifs, resulting in (002) layers. The crystal packing also features C—H...π interactions.
