We report the crystal structures of four new squaric acid derivatives, i.e. three polymorphs of 3,4-bis((2-(dimethylamino)ethyl)amino)cyclobut-3-ene-1,2-dione (1a–c) and a cocrystal with resorcinol. A DFT study has been also carried out to investigate the supramolecular assemblies.

The syntheses and crystal structures of five 2-benzylidene-1-benzosuberone [1-benzosuberone is 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzo[7]annulen-5-one] derivatives, viz. 2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)-1-benzosuberone, C19H18O2, (I), 2-(4-ethoxybenzylidene)-1-benzosuberone, C20H20O2, (II), 2-(4-benzylbenzylidene)-1-benzosuberone, C25H22O2, (III), 2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-1-benzosuberone, C18H15ClO, (IV) and 2-(4-cyanobenzylidene)-1-benzosuberone, C19H15NO, (V), are described. The conformations of the benzosuberone fused six- plus seven-membered ring fragments are very similar in each case, but the dihedral angles between the fused benzene ring and the pendant benzene ring differ somewhat, with values of 23.79 (3) for (I), 24.60 (4) for (II), 33.72 (4) for (III), 29.93 (8) for (IV) and 21.81 (7)° for (V). Key features of the packing include pairwise C—H...O hydrogen bonds for (II) and (IV), and pairwise C—H...N hydrogen bonds for (V), which generate inversion dimers in each case. The packing for (I) and (III) feature C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which lead to [010] and [100] chains, respectively. Weak C—H...π interactions consolidate the structures and weak aromatic π–π stacking is seen in (II) [centroid–centroid separation = 3.8414 (7) Å] and (III) [3.9475 (7) Å]. A polymorph of (I) crystallized from a different solvent has been reported previously [Dimmock et al. (1999) J. Med. Chem. 42, 1358–1366] in the same space group but with a packing motif based on inversion dimers resembling that seen in (IV) in the present study. The Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots for (I) and its polymorph are compared and structural features of the 2-benzylidene-1-benzosuberone family of phases are surveyed.

The crystal structures of the title adamantane-oxadiazole hybrid compounds, C18H19FN2O (I) and C18H19ClN2O (II), are built up from an adamantane unit and a halogenophenyl ring, [X = F (I), Cl (II)], in position 5 on the central 1,3,4-oxadiazole unit. The molecular structures are very similar, only the relative orientation of the halogenophenyl ring in comparison with the central five-membered ring differs slightly. In the crystals of both compounds, molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with R 2 2(12) ring motifs. In (I) the dimers are connected by C—H...F interactions, forming slabs lying parallel to the bc plane. In (II), the dimers are linked by C—H...π and offset π–π interactions [interplanar distance = 3.4039 (9) Å], forming layers parallel to (10\overline{1}).

The results of quantum chemical calculations on lithium ketazides suggest mainly four isomeric structures with different modes of lithium coordination (A-D). A monolithium ketazide thf-adduct (1) was isolated supporting the results of the quantum chemical calculations. In reactions of the lithiated di(tert-butyl-methyl)ketazine with BCl3 and Cl2BPh, 1,2-aza-azonia-3-borata-cyclopent-5-enes (2, 3) were isolated. Substitution of a chlorine atom of 2 and 3 with t-BuLi leads to the formation of derivatives 4 and 5. HCl elimination from 2 with Et3N gives - via a diazaboracyclopentene (6) - a bicyclus 7. In the reaction of the dilithiated ketazine with F2BN(SiMe3)2, the diaza-boracyclopentene 8 is obtained while with Cl4Si, F3SiN(SiMe3)2, and Cl2SiMe2 the diazasilacyclopentenes 9 - 11 are generated. SiF4 reacts with the dilithium ketazide to give a spirocyclus (12). The monolithium ketazide and Cl2SiMe2 react at 30 °C to give a four-membered ring isomer of the substitution product which is formed via a 1,3-chlorine shift from silicon to carbon (13). A tetrameric silanolate was isolated as a by-product in this reaction. It gives evidence for the structure of lithium ketazide A. Crystal structures of 5, 7, 10, and 14 are reported.

In the crystals of the titleN-halomethylated quaternary ammonium salts, C19H23IN+·I−, (I) [systematic name:N-(4,4-diphenylbut-3-en-1-yl)-N-iodomethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium iodide], C20H25IN+·I−, (II) [systematic name:N-(5,5-diphenylpent-4-en-1-yl)-N-iodomethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium iodide], and C21H27IN+·I−, (III) [systematic name:N-(6,6-diphenylhex-5-en-1-yl)-N-iodomethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium iodide], there are short I...I−interactions of 3.564 (4), 3.506 (1) and 3.557 (1) Å for compounds (I), (II) and (III), respectively. Compound (I) crystallizes in the Sohncke groupP21as an `enantiopure' compound and is therefore a potential material for NLO properties. In the crystal of compound (I), molecules are linked by C—H...I−and C—H...π interactions which, together with the I...I−interactions, lead to the formation of ribbons along [100]. In (II), there are only C—H...I−interactions which, together with the I...I−interactions, lead to the formation of helices along [010]. In (III), apart from the I...I−interactions, there are no significant intermolecular interactions present.

Abstract The crystal structures of four azines, namely 1-3-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 1, 1,3-bis(2,3-dimethoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 2, 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 3, and 1,3-bis(2-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,4-butadiene, 4, are reported. Molecules of 3 and 4, and both independent molecules of 2, Mol A and Mol B, possess inversion centers. The central C=N–N=C units in each molecule is planar with an (E,E) conformation. The intermolecular interactions found in the four compounds are C–H···O, C–H–N, C–H---π and π---π interactions. However, there is no consistent set of intermolecular interactions for the four compounds. Compound, 1, has a two-dimensional undulating sheet structure, generated from C–H···O and C–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The only recognized intermolecular interaction in 2 is a C–H···O hydrogen bond, which results in a zig-zag chain of alternating molecules, Mol A and Mol B. While 3 forms a puckered sheet of molecules, solely via C–H···π interactions, its isomeric compound, 4, has a more elaborate three-dimensional structure generated from a combination of C–H···O hydrogen bonds, C–H···π and π···π interactions. The findings in this study, based on both PLATON and Hirshfeld approaches, for the four representative compounds match well the reported structural findings in the literature of related compounds, which are based solely on geometric parameters.
