The crystal structures and absolute configurations of three cis-β1 and three cis-β2 isomers of [Co(trien)(L-aminoacidato)]2+, namely β1-Λ(SSS)(λλδ)/(λδδ)-[Co(trien)(L-isoleucinato)](ClO4)2, L-isoleucinato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) diperchlorate (1), β1-Λ(SRS)(λδλ)-[Co(trien)(L-valinato)](ClO4)2, L-valinato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) diperchlorate (2), β1-Δ(RSS)(δλδ)-[Co(trien)(L-pyroglutamato)]ClO4, L-pyroglutamato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) perchlorate (3), β2-Δ(RRS)(δδλ)-[Co(trien)(L-isoleucinato)]I2·H2O, L-isoleucinato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) diiodide monohydrate (4), β2-Δ(RRS)(δδλ)-[Co(trien)(L-isoleucinato)](ClO4)2·2H2O, L-isoleucinato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) diperchlorate dihydrate (5), and β2-Λ(SSS)(δλλ)[Co(trien)(L-leucinato)](ClO4)2·2H2O, L-leucinato(triethylenetetramine)cobalt(III) diperchlorate dihydrate (6), have been determined. Both β1 and β2 isomers form inter-cation hydrogen-bonding interactions through double or triple hydrogen bonds which link the cations into helices. However, the motifs of the interactions are different in β1 and β2 isomers, resulting in different packing structures. A localized hydrophobic area is observed in the packing structure of (1), a unique feature amongst these six structures. This work describes the first synthesis of the β1 isomer by direct reaction between amino acids and cis-α-[Co(trien)Cl2]Cl in mildly basic solution.

Chalcones constitute an important class of bioactive drug targets in the pharmaceutical industry that includes anti-ulcerative drug sofalcone. In continuation of our work, the crystal structures of four closely related 1-phenyl-piperidine based chalcones will be presented. I: C19 H21NOS, MW = 311.43, T = 173(2) K, λ = 0.71073 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 10.1045(4), b = 10.5358(4), c = 30.6337(12) Å, V = 3261.2(2) Å3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.269 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1328, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.059. II: C18H19NOS, MW = 297.40, T = 173(2) K, λ = 1.54178 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 8.9236(2), b = 11.0227(2), c = 30.8168(6) Å, V = 3031.21(11) Å3 Z = 8, Dc = 1.303 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1264, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.035. III: C18H19NOS, MW = 297.40, T = 173(2) K, λ = 1.54178 Å, Orthorhombic, P b c a, a = 8.82990(10), b = 11.0061(2), c = 31.2106(5) Å, V = 3033.13(8) Å3, Z = 8, Dc = 1.303 Mg/m3, F (000) = 1264, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.048. IV: C18H18ClNOS, MW = 331.84, T = 173(2) K, λ = 0.71073 Å, Monoclinic, P 21/c, a = 14.1037(4), b = 11.3153(3), c = 10.1290(2) Å, β = 101.1367(14)0, V = 1586.02(7) Å3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.390 Mg/m3, F (000) = 696, R [I>2σ(I)] = 0.038. The crystals of I, II and III are isomorphous. In all structures, the piperidine rings are in chair conformations, thiophene rings are essentially planar and the C=C bonds in the prop-2-en-1-one fragment adopt E-conformation. All crystal structures are devoid of any classical hydrogen bonds. However, non-classical hydrogen bonding interactions of the type C---H...O in compounds II, III and IV link the molecules into chains extended along the b-axis. Moreover, C---H...Cg interactions involving thiophene rings in I and III and benzene ring in IV and π...π interactions between benzene rings lying about inversion centers are present in II and III.

The crystal structures of (E)-N′-(2-chlorobenzylidene)-4-nitrobenzenesulfonohydrazide, C13H10ClN3O4S (I), (E)-N′-(2-methylbenzylidene)-4-nitrobenzenesulfonohydrazide, C14H13N3O4S (II), and (E)-N′-(4-methylbenzylidene)-4-nitrobenzenesulfonohydrazide monohydrate, C14H13N3O4S·H2O (III), have been synthesized, characterized and their crystal structures determined to study the effects of the nature and sites of substitutions on the structural parameters and the hydrogen-bonding interactions. All three compounds crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system, with space group P21 for (I) and P21/c for (II) and (III). Compound (III) crystallizes as a monohydrate. All three compounds adopt an E configuration around the C=N bond. The molecules are bent at the S atom with C—S—N—N torsion angles of −59.0 (3), 58.0 (2) and −70.2 (1)° in (I), (II) and (III), respectively. The sulfonohydrazide parts are also non-linear, as is evident from the S—N—N—C torsional angles of 159.3 (3), −164.2 (1) and 152.3 (1)° in (I), (II) and (III), respectively, while the hydrazide parts are almost planar with the N—N=C—C torsion angles being −179.1 (3)° in (I), 176.7 (2)° in (II) and 175.0 (2)° in (III). The 4-nitro-substituted phenylsulfonyl and 2/4-substituted benzylidene rings are inclined to each other by 81.1 (1)° in (I), 81.4 (1)° in (II) and 74.4 (1)° in (III). The compounds show differences in hydrogen-bonding interactions. In the crystal of (I), molecules are linked via N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming C(4) chains along the a-axis direction that are interconnected by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating layers parallel to the ac plane. In the crystal of (II), the amino H atom shows bifurcated N—H...O(O) hydrogen bonding with both O atoms of the nitro group generating C(9) chains along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional framework. In the crystal of (III), molecules are linked by Ow—H...O, N—H...Ow and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming layers lying parallel to the bc plane. The fingerprint plots generated for the three compounds show that for (I) and (II) the O...H/H...O contacts make the largest contributions, while for the para-substituted compound (III), H...H contacts are the major contributors to the Hirshfeld surfaces.

The title compounds, C23H25Br2NO2 (1) and C31H29BrN2O4 (2), crystallize in the space group P21/n with two (1-A and 1-B) and one molecules, respectively, in the asymmetric unit of the cell. The molecular conformation of these compounds is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and C—H...N or C—H...π interactions. The crystal structure of 1 features a relatively strong Br...O=C halogen bond, which is not observed in the case of 2. Both crystal structures are characterized by the presence of C—H...Br hydrogen bonds and numerous intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.

It is well known that infinite head to tail chains built of zwitterions linked to each other by N-H...O hydrogen bonds are common structural motifs in crystals of amino acids. These chains coincide with directions of the smallest compressibility of a crystal structure on cooling and increasing pressure and can even remain after structural phase transitions. However one should take into account the dual nature of these chains. From the one hand zwitterions of amino acids are linked by N-H...O hydrogen bonds formed from the head, amino group, and the tail, carboxylate group. From the other hand besides hydrogen bonding there is electrostatic interactions which occur between positively charged amino group and negatively charged carboxylate group. Being guided by an idea to distinguish electrostatic contribution from the charge assisted N-H...O hydrogen bonds and to understand their role in the crystal structure distortion on increasing pressure, two crystal structures of N-methyl derivatives of the simplest amino acid glycine are considered as a case study. N-methylglycine or sarcosine has two donors for hydrogen bonding and so forms two infinite head to tail chains in the structure whereas N,N,N-trimethylglycine or betaine has no hydrogen bonds at all, but its zwitterions are lined up resembling head to tail chains. The effect of increasing hydrostatic pressure is different for two crystals. The structure of betaine compresses anisotropically, but sarcosine undergoes a phase transition accompanying crystal fragmentation and changes in N-H...O hydrogen bonds. The phase transition is kinetically controlled and strongly depends on the rate of variation of pressure. Of special interest is distortion of head to tail chains on increasing pressure comparing with those observed in polymorphic modifications of glycine.

The crystal structures of three bridged bimetallic molecular compounds, namely, triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)titanium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(TiF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, C12H8N2), (I), triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)zirconium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(ZrF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O, (II), and triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)hafnium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(HfF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O, (III), and one molecular salt, bis[diaquafluorido(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)copper(II)] hexafluoridohafnate(IV) dihydrate, [CuF(phen)(H2O)2]2[HfF6]·2H2O, (IV), are reported. The bridged bimetallic compounds adopt Λ-shaped configurations, with the octahedrally coordinated copper(II) center linked to the fluorinated early transition metal via a fluoride linkage. The extended structures of these Λ-shaped compounds are organized through both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π–π stacking. The salt compound [Cu(phen)(H2O)2F]2[HfF6]·H2O displays an isolated square-pyramidal Cu(phen)(H2O)2F+ complex linked to other cationic complexes and isolated HfF6 2− anions through intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.

The title compound, also known as isopimaric acid, C20H30O2, was isolated from slash pine rosin. There are two unique molecules in the unit cell. The two cyclohexane rings have classical chair conformations. The cyclohexene ring represents a semi-chair. The molecular conformation is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The molecules are dimerized through their carboxyl groups by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8) rings.

The crystal structures of two polymorphs of a phenazine hexacyanoferrate(II) salt/cocrystal, with the formula (Hphen)3[H2Fe(CN)6][H3Fe(CN)6]·2(phen)·2H2O, are reported. The polymorphs are comprised of (Hphen)2[H2Fe(CN)6] trimers and (Hphen)[(phen)2(H2O)2][H3Fe(CN)6] hexamers connected into two-dimensional (2D) hydrogen-bonded networks through strong hydrogen bonds between the [H2Fe(CN)6]2− and [H3Fe(CN)6]− anions. The layers are further connected by hydrogen bonds, as well as through π–π stacking of phenazine moieties. Aside from the identical 2D hydrogen-bonded networks, the two polymorphs share phenazine stacks comprising both protonated and neutral phenazine molecules. On the other hand, the polymorphs differ in the conformation, placement and orientation of the hydrogen-bonded trimers and hexamers within the hydrogen-bonded networks, which leads to different packing of the hydrogen-bonded layers, as well as to different hydrogen bonding between the layers. Thus, aside from an exceptional number of symmetry-independent units (nine in total), these two polymorphs show how robust structural motifs, such as charge-assisted hydrogen bonding or π-stacking, allow for different arrangements of the supramolecular units, resulting in polymorphism.

Abstract We used the high resolution and accuracy of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to provide detailed information regarding base pairing interactions of selected nucleobases. We searched for base pairs in which nucleobases interact with each other through two or more hydrogen bonds and form more or less planar structures. The investigated compounds were either free forms or derivatives of adenine, guanine, hypoxanthine, thymine, uracil and cytosine. We divided our findings into categories including types of pairs, protonation patterns and whether they are formed by free bases or substituted ones. We found base pair types that are exclusive to small molecule crystal structures, some that can be found only in RNA containing crystal structures and many that are native to both environments. With a few exceptions, nucleobase protonation generally followed a standard pattern governed by pKa values. The lengths of hydrogen bonds did not depend on whether the nucleobases forming a base pair were charged or not. The reasons why particular nucleobases formed base pairs in a certain way varied significantly.

The crystal structures of the complexes of malonic acid with DL- and L-arginine, which contain positively charged argininium ions and negatively charged semimalonate ions, further demonstrate the conformational flexibility of amino acids. A larger proportion of folded conformations than would be expected on the basis of steric consideration appears to occur in arginine, presumably because of the requirements of hydrogen bonding. The aggregation pattern in the DL-arginine complex bears varying degrees of resemblance to patterns observed in other similar structures. An antiparallel hydrogen-bonded dimeric arrangement of arginine, and to a lesser extent lysine, is a recurring motif. Similarities also exist among the structures in the interactions with this motif and its assembly into larger features of aggregation. However, the aggregation pattern observed in the L-arginine complex differs from any observed so far, which demonstrates that all the general patterns of amino-acid aggregation have not yet been elucidated. The two complexes represent cases where the reversal of the chirality of half the amino-acid molecules leads to a fundamentally different aggregation pattern.
