Many discussions of the intermolecular interactions in crystal structures concentrate almost exclusively on an analysis of hydrogen bonding. A simple analysis of atom–atom distances is all that is required to detect and analyse hydrogen bonding. However, for typical small-molecule organic crystal structures, hydrogen-bonding interactions are often responsible for less than 50% of the crystal lattice energy. It is more difficult to analyse intermolecular interactions based on van der Waals interactions. The Pixel program can calculate and partition intermolecular energies into Coulombic, polarization, dispersion and repulsion energies, and help put crystal structure discussions onto a rational basis. This Windows PC implementation of Pixel within the Oscail package requires minimal setup and can automatically use GAUSSIAN or Orca for the calculation of electron density.

The tetraphenylphosphonium squarate salt crystallizes with a number of diverse interactions, which all have the potential to be classified as hydrogen bonds. The squarate anions are found as dimers linked by O-H···O interactions. The multipole refinement of the tetraphenylphosphonium squarate was performed using the Hansen–Coppens model followed by topological analysis of its intermolecular interactions. A total of 28 interactions were found among the symmetry related molecules, which include a number of C-H···Cπ, C-H···O, and C-H···H-C interactions, along with the O-H···O interaction. With the criteria for hydrogen bonding proposed by Popelier and Koch, it is possible to determine which of these interactions are hydrogen bonds and which are van der Waals interactions. Both linear and exponentially dependent correlations can be seen for the properties of the bond critical points involving the intermolecular interactions that fulfill these criteria. All this leads to a better understanding of the role that hydrogen bonds play in the formation of small organic compounds.Key words: electron density, multiple refinement, hydrogen bonds.

The title compound, {[Ag(C6H7AsNO3)(C18H15P)]·H2O}n, has been synthesized from the reaction of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid with silver nitrate, in aqueous ammonia, with the addition of triphenylphosphane (PPh3). The AgIcentre is four-coordinated by one amino N atom, one PPh3P atom and two arsonate O atoms, forming a severely distorted [AgNPO2] tetrahedron. Two AgI-centred tetrahedra are held together to produce a dinuclear [Ag2O2N2P2] unit by sharing an O–O edge. 4-Aminophenylarsonate (Hapa−) adopts a μ3-κ3N:O:O-tridentate coordination mode connecting two dinuclear units, resulting in a neutral [Ag(Hapa)(PPh3)]nlayer lying parallel to the (10\overline{1}) plane. The PPh3ligands are suspended on both sides of the [Ag(Hapa)(PPh3)]nlayer, displaying up and down orientations. There is anR22(8) hydrogen-bonded dimer involving two arsonate groups from two Hapa−ligands related by a centre of inversion. Additionally, there are hydrogen-bonding interactions involving the solvent water molecules and the arsonate and amine groups of the Hapa−ligands, and weak π–π stacking interactions within the [Ag(Hapa)(PPh3)]nlayer. These two-dimensional layers are further assembled by weak van der Waals interactions to form the final architecture.

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.

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.

Under anhydrous conditions and in the absence of a Lewis-base solvent, a zinc chloride complex with tri-tert-butylphosphane as the μ-bridged dimer is formed,viz.di-μ-chlorido-bis[chloridobis(tri-tert-butylphosphane)zinc], [ZnCl4(C12H27P)2], (1), which features a nearly square-shaped (ZnCl)2cyclic core and whose Cl atoms interact weakly with C—H groups on the phosphane ligand. In the presence of THF, monomeric dichlorido(tetrahydrofuran-κO)(tri-tert-butylphosphane-κP)zinc, [ZnCl2(C4H8O)(C12H27P)] or [P(tBu3)(THF)ZnCl2], (2), is formed. This slightly distorted tetrahedral Zn complex has weak C—H...Cl interactions between the Cl atoms and phosphane and THF C—H groups. Under ambient conditions, the hydrolysed complex tri-tert-butylphosphonium aquatrichloridozincate 1,2-dichloroethane monosolvate, (C12H28P)[ZnCl3(H2O)]·C2H4Cl2or [HPtBu3]+[(H2O)ZnCl3]−·C2H4Cl2, (3), is formed. This complex forms chains of [(H2O)ZnCl3]−anions from hydrogen-bonding interactions between the water H atoms and Cl atoms that propagate along thebaxis.

B3LYP/6-311++G** calculations have been carried out to simulate the influence of substitutions in position R1 and R2 of 3-amino 2-iminomethyl acryl aldehyde on intramolecular hydrogen bond strength. The following substituents are taken into considerations: CN, NO2, Cl, F, CH3, CHO, NH2, C2H5, SH, SCH3, CF3 and CH3CO and their vibrational frequencies are calculated at the same level of theory. Quantum theory of "Atoms in Molecules" and Natural Bond Orbitals method were applied to analyzed H-bond interactions. The electron density (ρ) and Laplacian (∇2ρ) properties, estimated by AIM calculations, indicate that N⋯H bond possesses low ρ and positive ∇2ρ values which are in agreement with electrostatic character of the HBs, whereas N–H bonds have covalent character (∇2ρ < 0). Natural population analysis data, the electron density and Laplacian properties, as well as, ν (N-H) and γ (N-H) have been used to evaluate the hydrogen bonding interactions.

Each central platinum(II) atom in the crystal structures of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminoethoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C4H10AsN2O4)Cl] (1), and of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminopropoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C6H14AsN2O4)Cl] (2), is coordinated by two nitrogen donor atoms, a chlorido ligand and to arsenic, which, in turn, is coordinated by two oxygen donor ligands, two hydroxyl ligands and the platinum(II) atom. The square-planar and trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environments around platinum and arsenic, respectively, are significantly distorted with the largest outliers being 173.90 (13) and 106.98 (14)° for platinum and arsenic in (1), and 173.20 (14)° and 94.20 (9)° for (2), respectively. One intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed in the crystal structure of (1), which give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network. A similar situation (one intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions) is observed in the crystal structure of (2). Various π-interactions are present in (1) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.7225 (7) Å, and between the centroids of five-membered (Pt, As, C, N, O) rings of neighbouring molecules with distances of 3.7456 (4) and 3.7960 (6) Å. Likewise, weak π-interactions are observed in (2) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.8213 (2) Å, as well as between the Cl atom and the centroid of a symmetry-related five-membered ring with a distance of 3.8252 (12) Å. Differences between (2) and the reported polymorph [Miodragović et al. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10749–10752] are discussed.
