We describe the syntheses and crystal structures of two indole derivatives, namely a second monoclinic polymorph of ethyl 5-chloro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate C11H10ClNO2, (I), and ethyl 5-chloro-3-iodo-1H-indole-2-carboxylate, C11H9ClINO2, (II). In their crystal structures, both compounds form inversion dimers linked by pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds, which generateR22(10) loops. The dimers are linked into double chains in (I) and sheets in (II) by a variety of weak interactions, including π–π stacking, C—I...π, C—Cl—π interactions and I...Cl halogen bonds.

The analysis of π/π and H /π interactions in complexes are a challenging aspect of theoretical research. Due to the different approximations of different levels of theory, results tend to be inconsistent. We compared the reliabilities of HF, SVWN, M06L, PW91, BLYP, B3LYP, BHandHLYP, B97D, MP2, and DFTB-D approaches in researching π/π and H /π interactions by calculating the binding energies of five benzene-containing dimers. The effects of 6-31+G**, 6-311++G** and 6-311++G(2df,2p) basis sets on the results were analyzed too. We found that the DFTB-D and B97D methods combined with the 6-311++G** basis set perform well for dimers that contain π/π and H /π interactions. With high efficiency and satisfactory precision, DFTB-D is helpful for the calculation of complexes containing π/π and H /π stacking. We further calculated the structures and properties of phenylalanine-containing dimers using the DFTB-D and B97D methods. The properties of low energy conformers such as rotational constants, dipole moments and molecular orbitals were also analyzed. These data should be helpful for research into systems that contain π/π and H /π stacking.

The title compound, C10H4I2O3, is an iodinated 3-formylchromone derivative, and the atoms are essentially coplanar [r.m.s. deviation = 0.049 Å, largest deviation from the least-squares plane = 0.111 (9) Å for the CH(=O) C atom]. In the crystal, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network through halogen bonds [I...O = 3.352 (5) and 3.405 (7) Å, C—I...O = 144.2 (3) and 154.5 (3)°, and C=O...I = 134.9 (6) and 146.0 (6)°], and π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.527 (6) Å].

A new three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework, [Ag2(bipy)2(bdc)·4H2O]n 1, has been synthesized by the ultrasonic reaction of Ag2O, bipy and H2bdc (H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; bipy = 4,4’-bipyridine) at room temperature. It exhibits a new 3D supramolecular framework which is built from cationic Ag-bipy chains and anionic bdc-H2O sheets through hydrogen bonds, π · · ·π stacking and C-H· · ·π interactions. Additionally, the photoluminescent and thermal properties of 1 were investigated.

How many strong C−I⋯N halogen bonds can one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule form in a crystal structure? To answer this question, we investigated in detail the noncovalent interactions between 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene and a series of 1,10-phenanthroline derivatives by employing a combined theoretical and experimental method. The results of the quantum chemical calculations and crystallographic experiments clearly show that there is a structural competition between a C−I⋯N halogen bond and π⋯π stacking interaction. For example, when there are much stronger π⋯π stacking interactions between two 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecules or between two 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecules in the crystal structures, then one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule forms only one C−I⋯N halogen bond with one 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecule. Another example is when π⋯π stacking interactions in the crystal structures are not much stronger, one 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene molecule can form two C−I⋯N halogen bonds with two 1,10-phenanthroline derivative molecules.

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H14N4O2·0.5C4H8O2, there are two crystallographically independent oxime molecules and one solvent molecule. Each oxime molecule has intramolecular N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds, which make the non-H atoms approximately coplanar except for the naphthyl groups. The two independent molecules are connected to each other by O—H...N hydrogen bonds, forming a dimer. Dimers are linked into a layer through C—H...O, C—H...N and C—H...π interactions. There is π-stacking of approximately parallel oxadiazole rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.6234 (9) Å and a dihedral angle of 8.90 (6)°. Dioxane C and H atoms are disordered over two sites each, with occupancy factors of ca 0.78:0.22.
