Compounds with more than one molecule in the crystallographic asymmetric unit (Z′ > 1) display a noticeably stronger propensity to form cocrystals. Deferiprone is an anti-thalassemia drug known to exhibit polymorphic behaviour. Previously, three polymorphs were reported out of which one of them exhibited Z′ > 1. In the present manuscript, a fourth polymorph of deferiprone was identified and it also possessed Z′ > 1. All the four polymorphs showed similar hydrogen bonding features and differed in crystal packing. The ability of deferiprone to crystallize as Z′ > 1 prompted us to investigate the hydrogen bonding and synthon variation upon cocrystallization of deferiprone with hydroxyl-group-containing coformers such as catechol, hydroquinone, phloroglucinol, resorcinol and pyrogallol. Crystallization attempts along with PXRD analysis aided in obtaining 11 new cocrystal structures which involve different stoichiometric cocrystals and some polymorphs. Synthon analysis, crystal packing as well as thermal behaviour were assessed and compared. The presence of multiple phases in each cocrystal system in its respective bulk powders was identified and quantified using PXRD and Rietveld analysis. Homosynthons were observed in three co-crystal systems, while a heterosynthon was observed in five systems. The combination of both homo- and heterosynthon was observed in three cocrystal systems. The phase transformation events were observed in most of the systems. In nine co-crystal systems, the melting points were observed intermediate between those of the API and the coformers.

The dinuclear title complex, [Co2(C5H7O2)4(μ-OH)2] or [Co(acac)2(μ-OH)]2, where acac is acetylacetonate, is centrosymmetric with half of the molecule per asymmetric unit. The molecular structure is a dimer of octahedrally coordinated CoIIIatoms with four O atoms from two chelating acac ligands and two O atoms from bridging hydroxide ligands. The crystal packing features weak C—H...O interactions between neighboring molecules, leading to the formation of chains normal to theacplane. The hydroxide H atoms are not involved in hydrogen bonding because of the bulky acac ligands. This is the first crystal structure reported of a dimeric transition metal bis-acac complex with OH−as the bridging group.

The crystal structure of L-galactonic acid hemihydrate was determined using data obtained from an imaging plate detector (Stoe IPDS), whereas a conventional scintillation counter was used for the elucidation of the crystal structure of anhydrous D-galactonic acid. The H atom of the terminal hydroxyl group of the water-free sugar participates only in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the preterminal O atom. This hydrogen bond is part of an antidromic hydrogen-bonding cycle. The hydrogen-bonding scheme of the hemihydrate is very intricate due to the occurrence of two independent molecules and the incorporated water, whose coordination shell can be described by a distorted tetrahedron. One of the hydrogen-bond chains observed in the structure of the hemihydrate is infinite, forming a spiral running in the a direction. The crystal packing of both compounds displays a herringbone arrangement. However, the tilt angle between molecules in different herringbone halves is by far smaller in the structure of the hydrated sugar than in the water-free compound (~ 60 versus 96°).

The title compound, [Ru(CO3)(η6-C6H6){(C6H11)2P(CH2C10H7)}]·3CHCl3, was synthesized by carbonation of [RuCl2(η6-C6H6){(C6H11)2P(CH2C10H7)}] with NaHCO3in methanol at room temperature. The RuIIatom is surrounded by a benzene ligand, a chelating carbonate group and a phosphane ligand in a piano-stool configuration. The crystal packing is consolidated by C—H...O and C—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent metal complexes and between the complexes and the solvent molecules. The asymmetric unit contains one metal complex and three chloroform solvent molecules of which only one was modelled. The estimated diffraction contributions of the other two strongly disordered chloroform solvent molecules were substracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE procedure inPLATON[Spek (2009).Acta Cryst.D65, 148–155].

The study of ternary systems is interesting because it introduces the concept of molecular preference/competition into the system where one molecule may be displaced because the association between the other two is significantly stronger. Current definitions of a tertiary system indicate that solvent molecules are excluded from the molecule count of the system and some of the latest definitions state that any molecule that is not a solid in the parent form at room temperature should also be excluded from the molecule count. In the structure of the quinoline adduct hydrate of tryptaminium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, 3C10H13N2+·3C7H3N2O6−·2C9H7N·2H2O, the asymmetric unit comprises multiple cation and anion species which are conformationally similar among each type set. In the crystal, a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded supramolecular structure is generated through extensive intra- and inter-unit aminium N—H...O and N—H...N, and water O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Within the central-core hydrogen-bonding associations, conjoined cyclicR44(10),R53(10) andR44(12) motifs are generated. The unit is expanded into a one-dimensional column-like polymer extending along [010]. Present also in the crystal packing of the structure are a total of 19 π–π interactions involving both cation, anion and quinoline species [ring-centroid separation range = 3.395 (3)–3.797 (3) Å], as well as a number of weak C—H...O hydrogen-bonding associations. The presence of the two water molecules in the crystal structure is considered to be the principal causative factor in the low symmetry of the asymmetric unit.

Single crystals of the title complex, [Zn(C7H5N2O4)2(C2H6OS)2] or [Zn(NBZH)2(DMSO)2], were isolated from a dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solution containing [Zn(NBZH)2]·2H2O (NBZH = 3-nitrobenzohydroxamate anion). The asymmetric unit comprises of one O,O′-chelating NBZH anion, one O-bound DMSO ligand and one zinc(II) cation localized on an inversion centre. The three-dimensional crystal packing includes N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonding, as well as O...H and H...H contacts identified by Hirshfeld isosurface analysis.

The title compound, C16H11ClN2O2, was obtained by diazotization of 2-amino-4-chlorophenol followed by a coupling reaction with β-naphthol. There are two molecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structure features only one type of intermolecular interaction, that is strong hydrogen bonds involving the hydroxyl group. The naphthol and phenol fragments attached to the C=N—N— moiety exhibit an s-trans conformation. In addition, those fragments are almost coplanar, subtending a dihedral angle of 13.11 (2)° in molecule A and 10.35 (2)° in molecule B. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (32.1%), C...H/H...C (23.1%), Cl...H/H...Cl (15.2%), O...H/H...O (12.8%) and C...C (9%) contacts.

In the asymmetric unit, equalling the unit cell (triclinic,P1,Z= 1), two molecules of the title compound, 8-(4-methylphenyl)-D-2′-deoxyadenosine, C17H19N5O3, are present, with distinct conformations of the two sugar moieties, together with one solvent water molecule. All three ribose O atoms are involved in hydrogen bonding and the crystal packing is largely determined by hydrogen-bonding or hydrogen–heteroatom interactions (O—H...O, O—H...N, N—H...O, C—H...O and C—H...N) with one independent molecule directly linked to four neighbouring molecules and the other molecule directly linked to six neighbouring molecules. The two independent molecules of the asymmetric unit display three weak intramolecular C—H-to-heteroatom contacts, two of which are very similar despite the different conformations of the deoxyribosyl moieties. The aromatic ring systems of both molecules are in proximity to each other and somehow aligned, though not coplanar. The absolute structures of the two molecules were assumed with reference to the reactant 8-bromo-D-2′-deoxyadenosine as they could not be determined crystallographically.

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

In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C13H13N3O3, the 2-(2-methoxphenyl)ethenyl unit is connected to the methyl-nitroimidazole 1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole moiety. The molecule is quasi-planar and the planes of the two rings form a dihedral angle of 0.92 (11)°. The crystal packing can be described as layers parallel to the (011) plane, stabilized by intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonding, resulting in the formation of an infinite three-dimensional network linking these layers. Strong π–π stacking interactions are observed,viz.benzene–benzene, imidazole–imidazole and benzene–imidazole rings, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.528 (2), 3.457 (2) and 3.544 (2) Å, respectively. Intensity statistics indicated twinning by non-merohedry, with refined weighs of the twin components of 0.3687:0.6313.
