By the reaction of benzoyl chloride, potassium isothiocyanate and the appropriate halogenoaniline, i.e. 2/3/4-(bromo/iodo)aniline, we have obtained five new 1-benzoyl-3-(halogenophenyl)thioureas, namely, 1-benzoyl-3-(2-bromophenyl)thiourea and 1-benzoyl-3-(3-bromophenyl)thiourea, C14H11BrN2OS, and 1-benzoyl-3-(2-iodophenyl)thiourea, 1-benzoyl-3-(3-iodophenyl)thiourea and 1-benzoyl-3-(4-iodophenyl)thiourea, C14H11IN2OS. Structural and conformational features of the compounds have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction and theoretical calculations. The novel compounds were characterized by solid-state IR and 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy. The conformations and intermolecular interactions, such as hydrogen bonds, π–π and S(6)...π stacking, and X...O (X = I or Br), I...S and I...π, have been examined and rationalized, together with four analogous compounds described previously in the literature. The set of nine compounds was chosen to examine how a change of the halogen atom and its position on the phenyl ring affects the molecular and crystal structures.

Abstract The structural NMR and X-ray studies of 6,6’-(Oxybis(4,1- phenylene))bis-(2-allylpyridazin-3(2H)-one), a bis-pyridazine derivative heterocycle, are reported in this study. Both 1H- and 13C- NMR confirm the proposed structure of compound. In order to establish unequivocally the structure of compound, the X-ray data analysis was performed. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic P-1(2) space group with a = 10.3699(7) Å, b = 10.6972(6) Å, c = 11.0449(4) Å, α = 87.941(5)°, β = 75.564(5)°, γ = 72.055(5)°, V= 1127.68 (12) Å3 and Z = 2. Molecular and crystal packing parameters for the novel heterocyclic system were obtained from intensity data collected at room temperature. The two phenyl rings (from the diphenyl ether moiety) are perpendicular one to each other and, on its turn, each phenyl ring is almost coplanar with the pyridazine ring

Single crystals of molybdenum-incorporated tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (MoZTS) are grown by the slow evaporation solution growth technique. Crystal composition as determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it belongs to the orthorhombic system with space groupPca21and cell parametersa= 11.153 (2),b= 7.7691 (14),c= 15.408 (3) Å,V= 1335.14 (4) Å3andZ= 4. The surface morphological changes are studied by scanning electron microscopy. The vibrational patterns in FT–IR are used to identify the functional group and TGA/DTA (thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis) indicates the stability of the material. The structure and the crystallinity of the material were confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and the simulated X-ray diffraction (XRD) closely matches the experimental one with varied intensity patterns. The band gap energy is estimated using diffuse reflectance data by the application of the Kubelka–Munk algorithm. The relative second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency measurements reveal that MoZTS has an efficiency comparable to that of tris(thiourea)zinc(II) sulfate (ZTS). Hirshfeld surfaces were derived using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. Investigation of the intermolecular interactions and crystal packingviaHirshfeld surface analysis reveal that the close contacts are associated with strong interactions. Intermolecular interactions as revealed by the fingerprint plot and close packing could be the possible reasons for facile charge transfer leading to SHG activity.

An experimental charge density distribution of 2-nitroimidazole was determined from high-resolution X-ray diffraction and the Hansen–Coppens multipole model. The 2-nitroimidazole compound was crystallized and a high-angle X-ray diffraction intensity data set has been collected at low temperature (110 K). The structure was solved and further, an aspherical multipole model refinement was performed up to octapole level; the results were used to determine the structure, bond topological and electrostatic properties of the molecule. In the crystal, the molecule exhibits a planar structure and forms weak and strong intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions with the neighbouring molecules. The Hirshfeld surface of the molecule was plotted, which explores different types of intermolecular interactions and their strength. The topological analysis of electron density at the bond critical points (b.c.p.) of the molecule was performed, from that the electron density ρbcp(r) and the Laplacian of electron density ∇2ρbcp(r) at the b.c.p.s of the molecule have been determined; these parameters show the charge concentration/depletion of the nitroimidazole bonds in the crystal. The electrostatic parameters like atomic charges and the dipole moment of the molecule were calculated. The electrostatic potential surface of the molecule has been plotted, and it displays a large electronegative region around the nitro group. All the experimental results were compared with the corresponding theoretical calculations performed usingCRYSTAL09.

The compound 3,3′-bi(1,1′-dinaphthyl-camphopyrazole) 1, C42H42O4, was obtained in good yield and structurally characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction. It consists of a 3,3′-bipyrazole group with each pyrazole ring containing a fused camphor group and a naphthalene ring bonded to the adjacent nitrogen atom in the ring. Both of the trimethyl, 5-membered rings of the fused camphor group form an envelope with the apex carbon atom as the flap in each case. In the crystal, weak π–π stacking interactions are observed between nearby 6-carbon rings of the two naphthalene rings linking the molecules into extended chains. Weak π–ring intermolecular interactions are also observed between naphthalene atoms and pyrazole rings from each of the groups helping to stabilize the crystal packing. No classical hydrogen interactions are formed.

A 1:1 co-crystal of trinitrotoluene (TNT) and 2,3-diaminotoluene was prepared by solvent evapo- ration, and the structure of the co-crystal was determined by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The results indicate that the main mechanism of co-crystallization originates from the intermolecular hy- drogen bonding (amino-nitro) and π-π stacking. We also examined the Hirshfeld surfaces and associated fingerprint plots of the co-crystal and reveal that the structures are stabilized by H…H, O–H, O…O and C…C (π-π) intermolecular interactions. We analyzed the crystal packing and show its influence upon im- pact sensitivity. The results highlight that co-crystallization is an effective way to modify the sensitivity, oxygen balance and density of explosives.

The peculiarities of interatomic interactions formed by fluorine atoms were studied in four tosylate derivatives p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2CF2CF3 and p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5, 7) using X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. Compounds p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5) were crystallized in several polymorph modifications. Analysis of intermolecular bonding was carried out using QTAIM approach and energy partitioning. All compounds are characterized by crystal packing of similar type and the contribution of intermolecular interactions formed by fluorine atoms to lattice energy is raised along with the increase of their amount. The energy of intra- and intermolecular F…F interactions is varied in range 0.5–13.0 kJ/mol. Total contribution of F…F interactions to lattice energy does not exceed 40%. Crystal structures of studied compounds are stabilized mainly by C-H…O and C-H…F weak hydrogen bonds. The analysis of intermolecular interactions and lattice energies in polymorphs of p-CH3C6H4OSO2CH2(CF2)nCHF2 (n = 1, 5) has shown that most stabilized are characterized by the least contribution of F…F interactions.

Anthracene derivative compounds are currently investigated because of their unique physical properties (e.g. bright luminescence and emission tunability), which make them ideal candidates for advanced optoelectronic devices. Intermolecular interactions are the basis of the tunability of the optical and electronic properties of these compounds, whose prediction and exploitation benefit from knowledge of the crystal structure and the packing architecture. Polymorphism can occur due to the weak intermolecular interactions, requiring detailed structural analysis to clarify the origin of observed material property modifications. Here, two silylethyne-substituted anthracene compounds are characterized by single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction, identifying a new polymorph in the process. Additionally, laser confocal microscopy and fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy confirm the results obtained by the X-ray diffraction characterization, i.e. shifting the substituents towards the external benzene rings of the anthracene unit favours π–π interactions, impacting on both the morphology and the microscopic optical properties of the crystals. The compounds with more isolated anthracene units feature shorter lifetime and emission spectra, more similar to those of isolated molecules. The crystallographic study, supported by the optical investigation, sheds light on the influence of non-covalent interactions on the crystal packing and luminescence properties of anthracene derivatives, providing a further step towards their efficient use as building blocks in active components of light sources and photonic networks.

The title compound N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-[4-(3-oxo-3-phenylprop-1-en-1-yl)phenoxy]acetamide, C24H21NO4, was prepared from reaction of N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide and (E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1-phenylprop-2-en-1-one, which was obtained from the reaction of 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and acetophenone. The structure of the title compound was determined by IR, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR and HR–MS spectroscopic data and further characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit contains four molecules, each displaying an E-configuration of the C=C bond. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings in each molecule varies between 14.9 (2) and 45.8 (2)°. In the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions link the molecules into chains running along the [001] direction. In addition, C—H...π interactions further stabilize the crystal packing. A Hirshfeld analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the surface contacts are from H...H (43.6%), C...H/H...C (32.1%) and O...H/H...O (18.1%) interactions.

The title compound DBNB, C24H20N2O6, has been crystallized and studied by X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic and computational methods. In the title molecule, which is based on a 1,4-distyryl-2,5-dimethoxybenzene core with p-nitro-substituted terminal benzene rings, the dihedral angle between mean planes of the central fragment and the terminal phenyl ring is 16.46 (6)°. The crystal packing is stabilized by π–π interactions. DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level of theory were used to compare the optimized structures with the experimental data. Energy parameters, including HOMO and LUMO energies, their difference, and vertical excitation and emission energies were obtained.
