Isomeric 5-bromo-3-nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone and 3-bromo-5-nitrosalicylaldehyde phenylhydrazone, C13H10BrN3O3, both crystallize with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In both isomers, an intramolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond links the hydroxy group and the imine N atom. In the 5-bromo-3-nitro isomer, there are two independent N—H...O hydrogen-bonded chains, each molecule in the asymmetric unit forming its own chain. These chains are then linked to form a three-dimensional framework by a combination of weak C—H...O, C—H...Br, C—H...π and π–π stacking interactions. In the 3-bromo-5-nitro isomer, N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the independent molecules alternately into a zigzag chain, which is reinforced by a weak C—H...O interaction. Individual chains are linked by a C—H...Br interaction and a three-dimensional framework is generated by π–π stacking interactions.

Molecules of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-4-nitroaniline, 4-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (1), are linked by three-centre I...O2N interactions into chains and these chains are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric N-(4′-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-4-iodoaniline, 4-IC6H4NHSO2C6H4NO2-4′ (2), the chains generated by the I...O2N interactions are again linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Molecules of N,N-bis(3′-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-4-iodoaniline, 4-IC6H4N(SO2C6H4NO2-3′)2 (3), lie across twofold rotation axes in space group C2/c and they are linked into chains by paired I...O=S interactions: these chains are linked into sheets by a C—H...O hydrogen bond, and the sheets are linked into a three-dimensional framework by aromatic π...π stacking interactions. In N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-3-nitroaniline, 3-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (4), there are R^2_2(8) rings formed by hard N—H...O=S hydrogen bonds and R^2_2(24) rings formed by two-centre I...nitro interactions, which together generate a chain of fused rings: the combination of a C—H...O hydrogen bond and aromatic π...π stacking interactions links the chains into sheets. Molecules of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline, 4-CH3-2-O2NC6H3NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (5), are linked by N—H...O=S and C—H...O(nitro) hydrogen bonds into a chain containing alternating R^2_2(8) and R^2_2(10) rings, but there are no I...O interactions of either type. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-2-nitroaniline, 2-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (6), and the combination of an I...O=S interaction and a hard N—H...O(nitro) hydrogen bond links the two types of molecule to form a cyclic, centrosymmetric four-component aggregate. C—H...O hydrogen bonds link these four-molecule aggregates to form a molecular ladder. Comparisons are made with structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database.

(E)-2-(2-Benzylidenehydrazinylidene)quinoxaline, C15H12N4, crystallized with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structures of six halogen derivatives of this compound were also investigated: (E)-2-[2-(2-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11ClN4; (E)-2-[2-(3-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11ClN4; (E)-2-[2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11ClN4; (E)-2-[2-(2-bromobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11BrN4; (E)-2-[2-(3-bromobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11BrN4; (E)-2-[2-(4-bromobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]quinoxaline, C15H11BrN4. The 3-Cl and 3-Br compounds are isomorphous, as are the 4-Cl and 4-Br compounds. In all of these compounds, it was found that the supramolecular structures are governed by similar predominant patterns,viz.strong intermolecular N—H...N(pyrazine) hydrogen bonds supplemented by weak C—H...N(pyrazine) hydrogen-bond interactions in the 2- and 3-halo compounds and by C—H...Cl/Br interactions in the 4-halo compounds. In all compounds, there are π–π stacking interactions.

Structures are reported here for eight further substituted N-aryl-2-chloronicotinamides, 2-ClC5H3NCONHC6H4 X-4′. When X = H, compound (I) (C12H9ClN2O), the molecules are linked into sheets by N—H...N, C—H...π(pyridyl) and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. For X = CH3, compound (II) (C13H11ClN2O, triclinic P\bar 1 with Z′ = 2), the molecules are linked into sheets by N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. Compound (III), where X = F, crystallizes as a monohydrate (C12H8ClFN2O·H2O) and sheets are formed by N—H...O, O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. Crystals of compound (IV), where X = Cl (C12H8Cl2N2O, monoclinic P21 with Z′ = 4) exhibit inversion twinning: the molecules are linked by N—H...O hydrogen bonds into four independent chains, linked in pairs by C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds. When X = Br, compound (V) (C12H8BrClN2O), the molecules are linked into sheets by N—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen bonds, while in compound (VI), where X = I (C12H8ClIN2O), the molecules are linked into a three-dimensional framework by N—H...O and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and an iodo...N(pyridyl) interaction. For X = CH3O, compound (VII) (C13H11ClN2O2), the molecules are linked into chains by a single N—H...O hydrogen bond. Compound (VIII) (C13H8ClN3O, triclinic P\bar 1 with Z′ = 2), where X = CN, forms a complex three-dimensional framework by N—H...N, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and two independent aromatic π...π stacking interactions.

Molecules of 2-iodo-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)aniline, 4-O2NC6H4CH2NHC6H4I-2′ (1) are linked into chains by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric compound 3-iodo-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)aniline (2) a combination of N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and iodo...nitro and aromatic π...π stacking interactions links the molecules into a three-dimensional framework structure. The two-dimensional supramolecular structure of 4-iodo-N-(4-nitrobenzyl)aniline (6) is built from a combination of C—H...O and N—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. 2-Iodo-N-(2-nitrobenzyl)aniline (7) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit and these molecules are linked into ladders by a combination of N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds and iodo...nitro and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. Comparisons are made between the supramolecular structures of these compounds and those of other isomers, in terms both of the types of direction-specific intermolecular interactions exhibited and the dimensionality of the resulting supramolecular structures.

The six isomeric N-(iodophenyl)nitrophthalimides, C14H7IN2O4, have been synthesized and the structures of five of them are reported. In N-(4-iodophenyl)-4-nitrophthalimide [(I), orthorhombic P212121] the molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of four independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds, but I...O interactions are absent. The isomers N-(3-iodophenyl)-4-nitrophthalimide [(II), monoclinic P21/c] and N-(2-iodophenyl)-4-nitrophthalimide [(III), monoclinic P21/n] both form sheets, but in (II) the molecules are linked by a combination of one two-centre iodo...nitro interaction and one C—H...O hydrogen bond into sheets containing R_4^4(30) rings, while in (III) they are linked by an iodo...carbonyl interaction and a C—H...O hydrogen bond into sheets or R_4^4(26) rings. Three-dimensional supramolecular structures are formed in both N-(4-iodophenyl)-3-nitrophthalimide [(IV), monoclinic P21/n] and N-(3-iodophenyl)-3-nitrophthalimide [(V), orthorhombic, P212121]. In (IV) the molecules are linked by a three-centre iodo...nitro interaction, three C—H...O hydrogen bonds and an aromatic π...π stacking interaction, but the framework in (V) is generated by a two-centre iodo...nitro interaction and only two C—H...O hydrogen bonds: aromatic π...π stacking interactions are absent from (V).

The structures of five of the possible six isomers of (E,E)-1,4-bis(nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene are reported, including two polymorphs of one of the isomers. (E,E)-1,4-Bis(2-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene, C14H10N4O4 (I), crystallizes in two polymorphic forms (Ia) and (Ib) in which the molecules lie across centres of inversion in space groups P21/n and P21/c, respectively: the molecules in (Ia) and (Ib) are linked into chains by aromatic π...π stacking interactions and C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds, respectively. Molecules of (E,E)-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (II) are linked into sheets by two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The molecules of (E,E)-1,4-bis(3-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (III) lie across inversion centres in the space group P21/n, and a combination of a C—H...O hydrogen bond and a π...π stacking interaction links the molecules into sheets. A total of four independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules of (E,E)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-4-(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (IV) into sheets. In (E,E)-1,4-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene (V) the molecules, which lie across centres of inversion in the space group P21/n, are linked by just two independent C—H...O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.

The molecular and supramolecular structures of eight N 4-substituted 2,4-diamino-6-benzyloxy-5-nitrosopyrimidines are discussed, along with one analogue containing no nitroso substituent. The nitroso derivatives all exhibit polarized molecular-electronic structures leading to extensive charge-assisted hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The intermolecular interactions include hard hydrogen bonds of N—H...O and N—H...N types, together with O—H...O and O—H...N types in the monohydrate of 2-amino-6-benzyloxy-4-piperidino-5-nitrosopyrimidine, soft hydrogen bonds of C—H...O, C—H...π(arene) and N—H...π(arene) types and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. The predominant supramolecular structure types take the form of chains and sheets, but no two of the structures determined here exhibit the same combination of hydrogen-bond types.

The racemic title dipyrrolopyrrolizine compound crystallizes from dimethylformamide as a disolvate, C55H39Cl2N7O6·2C3H7NO. None of the four fused heterocyclic rings is planar; one adopts an envelope conformation, two others adopt half-chair conformations and the fourth adopts a conformation intermediate between an envelope and a half-chair. The arrangement of the ring fusions is such as to preclude the possibility of internal mirror symmetry. The three independent molecular components are weakly linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, and the dipyrrolopyrrolizine molecules are linked by a combination of four C—H...O and one C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bond to form a three-dimensional framework, from which the dimethylformamide solvent molecules are pendent. However, aromatic π–π stacking interactions are absent in the structure.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C16H13N3O3S, shows that the two independent zwitterions in the asymmetric unit are approximately planar. Intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds occur and the aromatic rings have atransconfiguration with respect to the azo double bond. In the crystal, the molecules are linkedviaN—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular network, the π–π stacking interactions between adjacent benzene and naphthalene rings having centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.764 (3) and 3.775 (3) Å.

Three title compounds, namely, 2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]-6-phenylimidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole, C26H19ClN4S, (I), 2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-6-(4-fluorophenyl)-5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole, C26H18ClFN4S, (II), and 6-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(4-chlorobenzyl)-5-[(1H-indol-3-yl)methyl]imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole, C26H18BrClN4S, (III), have been prepared using a reductive condensation of indole with the corresponding 6-aryl-2-(4-chlorobenzyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole-5-carbaldehydes (aryl = phenyl, 4-fluorophenyl or 4-bromophenyl), and their crystal structures have been determined. The asymmetric unit of compound (I) consists of two independent molecules and one of the molecules exhibits disorder of the 4-chlorobenzyl substituent with occupancies 0.6289 (17) and 0.3711 (17). Each type of molecule forms a C(8) chain motif built from N—H...N hydrogen bonds, which for the fully ordered molecule is reinforced by C—H...π interactions. In compound (II), the chlorobenzyl unit is again disordered, with occupancies 0.822 (6) and 0.178 (6), and the molecules form C(8) chains similar to those in (I), reinforced by C—H...π interactions involving only the major disorder component. The chlorobenzyl unit in compound (III) is also disordered with occupancies of 0.839 (5) and 0.161 (5). The molecules are linked by a combination of one N—H...N hydrogen bond and four C—H...π interactions, forming a three-dimensional framework.
