In the title compound, C26H30ClN5O·CHCl3, the purine molecule consists of essentially planar benzene and purine ring systems [maximum deviation 0.010 (4) Å for both ring systems] forming a dihedral angle of 85.52 (9)°. Intermolecular N—H...N hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules into centrosymmetric dimers. The structure also contains intermolecular C—H...O and C—H...N interactions. The benzene rings form offset face-to-face π–π stacking interactions with an interplanar distance of 3.541 (4) Å and a centroid-to-centroid distance of 4.022 (4) Å.

The title compounds, C17H13NO2S, (I), C17H13NO3S, (II), and C24H17ClN2O5S·CHCl3, (III), are indole derivatives. Compounds (I) and (II) crystalize with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The indole ring systems in all three structures deviate only slightly from planarity, with dihedral angles between the planes of the pyrrole and benzene rings spanning the tight range 0.20 (9)–1.65 (9)°. These indole ring systems, in turn, are almost orthogonal to the phenylsulfonyl rings [range of dihedral angles between mean planes = 77.21 (8)–89.26 (8)°]. In the three compounds, the molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generatingS(6) ring motifs with the sulfone O atom. In compounds (I) and (II), the two independent molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...π interactions, while in compound (III), the molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generatingR22(22) inversion dimers.

In the title compound, C19H19FN4S, the planes of the 2-fluorophenyl and 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole ring systems are oriented at a dihedral angle of 48.98 (6)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...S and C—H...π interactions may help to establish the packing and π–π interactions between the centroids of the benzene rings at a distance of 3.8792 (13) Å occur.

The title compound, C19H19N5O3S2, crystallizes in the triclinic space groupP-1, with two independent molecules (AandB) in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 2). The imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole ring systems in moleculesAandBare essentially planar (r.m.s deviations = 0.004 and 0.005 Å, respectively), with dihedral angles of 1.1 (3) and 0.8 (3)°, respectively, between the thiazole and imidazole rings. The mean planes of these ring systems make dihedral angles of 16.0 (2) and 61.9 (2)° for moleculeA, and 11.8 (2) and 74.3 (2)° for moleculeB, with the 1,3-thiazolidine and methoxy-substituted benzene rings, respectively. In the crystal, molecules are linkedviaN—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming –A–B–A–B– chains along [100]. The chains are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to theabplane.

CH/O interaction is recognized as a weak hydrogen bond with less directionality, compared with a strong hydrogen bond such as that between carboxylic acids. Therefore, the interaction does not seem to be suitable for precise design of crystal structures. In connection with this, however, we emphasized that the CH/O interaction, particularly that provided by methyl ester group, can utilize for affirmative generation of polymorphs of cyclic pi conjugated molecules. Since functionality of solid state materials based on pi conjugated molecules is crucially affected by their molecular arrangements, polymorphs are exactly appropriate systems to reveal the superstructure-dependent properties of such the materials, and therefore, affirmative preparation of polymorphs of pi conjugated molecules is challenging. Herein, we describe formation, crystallographic characterization, and superstructure-dependent properties of polymorphs of methyl ester functionalized dehydrobenzoannulenes (DBAs), a family of cyclic conjugated molecules consisted of benzene rings and acetylene units. We synthesized five DBA derivatives 1-5 with two types of annulene cores (octadehydrodibenzo[12]annulene and octadehydrotribenzo[14]annulene cores) and different number and position of methyl ester groups (Scheme1). These derivatives exhibit two to five polymorphic crystals with physical properties strongly depending with their supramolecular structures.[1-3] We believe that the present polymorph generation is exactly provided by rotationally flexible conformations of the ester groups and versatile ways of directionally tolerant CH/O interactions of the ester groups.

In the title molecule, C18H16N2O3, the five-membered ring has an envelope conformation, with the substituted C atom deviating by 0.342 (4) Å from the mean plane P calculated for the remainder of the non-H atoms of the 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene fragment. The mean planes of quinazoline-2,4(1H,3H)-dione fragment and P form a dihedral angle of 59.08 (4)°. In the crystal, pairs of N—H...O hydrogen bonds link molecules into inversion dimers, and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions between the benzene rings of the quinazoline ring systems [centroid–centroid distance = 3.538 (3) Å] further consolidate the packing.

In the crystal of the title substituted hemibiquinone derivative, C16H11BrN2O4or [BrHBQH2(CN)2], the substituted benzene rings are rotated about the central C—C bond, forming a dihedral angle of 53.59 (7)°. The ring systems interact through an intramolecular O—H...Omethoxyhydrogen bond, which induces a geometry quite different from those in previously reported hemibiquinone structures. In the crystal, the molecules associate through an intermolecular O—H...Nnitrilehydrogen bond, forming chains which extend along [100] and are interlinked through very weak C—H...N hydrogen bonds, giving a overall two-dimensional structure lying parallel to (010).
