Useful information about hydrogen bonding, the preferred modes of hydrophobic interaction and conformational preferences of a specific molecule can be obtained from cocrystallization of the solute with a selected series of solvent molecules. This method is used in a study of nine different crystal structures of diethylstilbestrol (DES) solvates. It is shown that solvent inclusion results not only in stronger hydrogen bonds, but usually also in a larger number of favorable C—H...π interactions between DES molecules. Furthermore, solvent molecules such as DMSO, DMF, acetonitrile and acetone demonstrate important hydrogen-bond donating properties in addition to their more familiar role as hydrogen-bond acceptors. Molecular conformations in the crystal structures compare favorably with results from molecular mechanics calculations.

The preferred hydrogen-bonding patterns in the crystal structures of 5-propyl-2-thiouracil, C7H10N2OS, (I), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil, C5H6N2O2S, (II), 5-methoxy-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C5H6N2O2S·C4H9NO, (IIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil, C6H8N2OS, (III), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C6H8N2OS·C5H9NO, (IIIa), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C3H7NO, (IIIb), 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C4H9NO, (IIIc), and 5,6-dimethyl-2-thiouracil–dimethyl sulfoxide (2/1), 2C6H8N2OS·C2H6OS, (IIId), were analysed. All eight structures containR22(8) patterns. In (II), (IIa), (III) and (IIIa), they are formed by two N—H...S hydrogen bonds, and in (I) by alternating pairs of N—H...S and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. In contrast, the structures of (IIIb), (IIIc) and (IIId) contain `mixed'R22(8) patterns with one N—H...S and one N—H...O hydrogen bond, as well asR22(8) motifs with two N—H...O hydrogen bonds.

The crystal structures of two compounds containing enaminone heterodiene systems and forming intermolecular hydrogen bonds N-H·O are reported: 1) 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-4-pyridone (hereafter ETPY) and 2) 3-ethoxycarbonyl-2-phenyl-6-methoxycarbonyl-5,6-di-hydro-4-pyridone (hereafter EPPY). The crystal packing is controlled by intermolecular hydro­ gen bonds N-H·O = C connecting the heteroconjugated enaminone groups in infinite chains. In ETPY crystals the intermolecular hydrogen bond involves the heterodienic pathway with the highest π-delocalization that is effective for a very short N·O distance of 2.701(9) Å (average from two molecules in the asymmetric unit). Probably due to the steric hindrance, the hydrogen bond in EPPY is formed following the heterodienic pathway that involves the ester C = O group, although π-delocalization along this pathway is less than that along the pyridone-part pathway resulting in a longer N·O distance of 2.886(3) Å

The N—H...O hydrogen bond is the characteristic interaction in the crystal structures of N-benzyl-P-phenyl-N′-(p-tolyl)phosphonic diamide, C20H21N2OP or (C6H5)P(O)(NHCH2C6H5)(NHC6H4-p-CH3), (I), diphenylphosphinic 1-methylpropylamide, C16H20NOP or (C6H5)2P(O)[NHCH(CH3)(C2H5)], (II), (S)-1-phenylethylammonium N-[(S)-1-phenylethyl]phenylphosphonamidate, C8H12N+·C14H15NO2P− or [S-(C6H5)CH(CH3)NH3][(C6H5)P(O){S-NHCH(CH3)(C6H5)}(O)], (III), and (4-methylbenzyl)ammonium diphenylphosphinate, C8H12N+·C12H10O2P− or [4-CH3-C6H4CH2NH3][(C6H5)2P(O)(O)], (IV). This article focuses on the N—H...O hydrogen bonds by considering the structures of (I), (II), (III) and (IV), and reviewing their analogous compounds, including 43 (C)P(O)(N)2, 102 (C)2P(O)(N), 31 (C)P(O)(N)(O) and 96 (C)2P(O)(O) structures, deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). For the structures with a (C)P(O)(N)2 segment, only neutral hydrogen bonds were found in the CSD. The other three classes of compounds included both neutral and `charge-assisted' hydrogen bonds, and the (C)2P(O)(O) structures were particularly noticeable for a high number of cation–anion compounds. The overall tendencies of N...O distances in neutral and cation–anion compounds were compared. The N—H...O hydrogen-bond angles were also analyzed for the four classes of phosphorus compounds.

AbstractThe adducts methylthiourea:1,4-dioxane (2:1) (1) and 1,1-dimethylthiourea:morpholine (1:1) (2) were prepared and their crystal structures determined. In 1, hydrogen bonding involving the methylthiourea molecules leads to the formation of ${\rm{R}}_2^2(8)$ rings and thence to molecular ribbons parallel to [110]. The dioxane molecules accept hydrogen bonds from the remaining NH groups, and their inversion symmetry means that they connect adjacent methylthiourea ribbons, forming a layer structure parallel to (11̅1). In the packing of 2, dimethylthiourea dimers cannot link to each other because of the blocking effect of their methyl groups, but instead are linked indirectly via morpholine molecules, the NH groups of which are simultaneously hydrogen bond acceptors from the remaining NH function of dimethylthiourea and donors towards the sulfur atom of a neighbouring dimer. The overall effect is to form broad ribbons parallel to the a axis, with the morpholine molecules occupying the peripheral positions. The morpholine oxygen atom of 2 is not involved in classical hydrogen bonds.

<div> <p>A small organic cage molecule (<b>1</b>) containing six nitrile groups was crystallized in the presence of a number of guests with hydrogen bond donor groups, and from different solvents. In total, eight crystal structures of <b>1</b> were obtained, six of which are guest-free and two of which are co-crystals. When the guest was resorcinol or pyrogallol co-crystals did not form, but the presence of the guests directed formation of new crystalline phases that were not observed when the cage was crystallized alone. When the guest was hydroquinone or diaminobenzene, it was possible to isolate co-crystals where the guest hydrogen bonds to some of the nitrile groups of the cage. </p> </div> <br>

The crystal structures of five β-enaminones are reported: (2Z)-3-(benzylamino)-1,3-diphenyl-prop-2-en-1-one, (2Z)-3-(benzylamino)-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-prop-2-en-1-one, (2Z)-3-(benzylamino)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1-(3-nitrophenyl)-prop-2-en-1-one, 2-{1-[(4-methoxyphenyl)amino]ethylidene}cyclohexene-1,3-dione and 2-{1-[(3-methoxyphenyl)amino]ethylidene}cyclohexene-1,3-dione. The structures were analysed and compared with those of similar compounds in order to establish which factors determine the range (2.53–2.72 Å) of N...O hydrogen-bond distances in intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded β-enaminones. It has been shown that, beyond electronic resonance-assisted hydrogen-bond effects modulated by substituents, the necessary requirements to produce very short N—H...O hydrogen bonding are steric intramolecular repulsions, including the embedding of an enaminonic C—C or C—N bond in an aliphatic six-membered ring. By considering the structural features it is possible to expect the strength of N—H...O hydrogen bonds adopted by specific β-enaminones.

The hydrogen-bond acceptor characteristics of sulfate dianions are analyzed in crystal structures of small molecules. For 85 anions, neither coordinated to metal ions nor covalently bonded, 697 hydrogen bonds are faund. Of these, 266 (38%) are the O...H—O type and 431 (62%) are the O...H—N type, proportions that correspond well to the stoichiometry of the compounds studied and indicate no preference for a particular donor. The analysis of the data set, after classifying the hydrogen bonds according to the different types of donors, shows that O...H—O bonds are more linear than O...H—N. The anion oxygen–acceptor function is characterized by multiple hydrogen bonding. Only in 56 cases does a sulfate oxygen participate in a single hydrogen bond. In most cases every sulfate oxygen is coordinated by two (187 cases) or three (89 cases) hydrogen bonds. For three H donors, the preferred coordination geometry of the sulfate oxygen is pyramidal. The most frequent coordination around a sulfate dianion is with eight to ten H donors. Thus, sulfate dianions can play a significant cohesive role in molecular aggregation.

Two flexible molecules, biuret and 6-acetamidouracil, were cocrystallized with 5-fluorocytosine to study their conformational preferences. In the cocrystal with 5-fluorocytosine (I), biuret exhibits the same conformation as in its hydrate. In contrast, 6-acetamidouracil can adopt two main conformations depending on its crystal environment: in crystal (II) the trans form characterized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond is observed, while in the cocrystal with 5-fluorocytosine (III), the complementary binding induces the cis form. Three cocrystals of 6-methylisocytosine demonstrate that complementary binding enables the crystallization of a specific tautomer. In the cocrystals with 5-fluorocytosine, (IVa) and (IVb), only the 3H tautomer of 6-methylisocytosine is present, whereas in the cocrystal with 6-aminoisocytosine, (V), the 1H tautomeric form is adopted. The complexes observed in the cocrystals are stabilized by three hydrogen bonds similar to those constituting the Watson–Crick C·G base pair.

Compounds (I), C9H10N2O4, (II), C11H12N2O4, and (III), C14H12N2O4·C3H7NO represent 9,9-disubstituted-3,7-diazabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane-2,4,6,8-tetraone derivatives with very similar molecular geometries for the bicyclic framework: the dihedral angle between the planes of the imide groups is 74.87 (6), 73.86 (3) and 74.83 (6)° in (I)–(III), respectively. The dimethyl derivative (I) is positioned on a crystallographic twofold axis and its overall geometry deviates only slightly from idealizedC2vsymmetry. The spiro-cyclopentane derivative (II) and the phenyl/methyl analog (III) retain only internalCssymmetry, which in the case of (II) coincides with crystallographic mirror symmetry. The cyclopentane moiety in (II) adopts an envelope conformation, with the spiro C atom deviating from the mean plane of the rest of the ring by 0.548 (2) Å. In compound (III), an N—H...O hydrogen bond is formed with the dimethylformamide solvent molecule. In the crystal, both (I) and (II) form similar zigzag hydrogen-bonded ribbons through double intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. However, whereas in (I) the ribbons are formed by twotrans-arranged O=C—N—H amide fragments, the amide fragments arecis-positioned in (II). The formation of ribbons in (III) is apparently disrupted by participation of one of its N—H groups in hydrogen bonding with the solvent molecule. As a result, the molecules of (III) form zigzag chains rather than the ribbons through intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal of (I) was a pseudo-merohedral twin.

Reaction of BI3 with carbodiphosphorane, C(PPh3)2, gives a mixture of the dicationic compounds, methylenebis(triphenylphosphonium) diiodide dichloromethane disolvate, C37H32P2 2+·2I−·2CH2Cl2 or [Ph3PCH2PPh3]I2·2CH2Cl2 (I), methylenebis(triphenylphosphonium) bis(tetraiodoborate), C37H32P2 2+·2BI4 − or [Ph3PCH2PPh3](BI4)2 (II). Solvents are the source of the protons at the ylidic C atom. The P—C—P angle is 124.1 (2)° for (I) and 121.7 (3)° for (II), while the two P—C bond lengths are 1.804 (4) and 1.807 (5) Å in (I), and 1.817 (5) and 1.829 (5) Å in (II). In the crystal of (I), the protons of the central P—CH2—P C atom exhibit weak C—H...I hydrogen bonds with the respective anions. The anions in turn are linked to the dichloromethane solvent molecules by C—H...I hydrogen bonds. In the crystal of (II), one of the BI4 − anions is linked to a phenyl H atom via a weak C—H...I hydrogen bond.
