Abstract Two coumarin derivatives, 7-diethylamino-3-(4-nitrophenyl)coumarin (DNC) and 7-hydroxy-3-(4-nitrophenyl)coumarin (HNC), were synthesized via Knoevenagel condensation of salicylaldehyde derivatives with 4-nitrophenylacetonitrile and then cyclization reaction. Both of them were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The molecules of DNC are stacked via π-π interaction, while the hydrogen bond interactions instead of π-π interaction were observed in the crystal packing of HNC. Both of DNC and HNC showed solvatochromic properties and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) activities, but the AIE characteristics of them were entirely different. HNC exhibited an AIE phenomenon as the result of the restriction of twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT), while DNC emited peculiar dual fluorescence which was assigned to the emission based on the inhibition of TICT state formation and the emission from the TICT state respectively.

AbstractStructural and packing features of three new amidophosphoric acid esters having a common part XP(O)[OCH2C(CH3)2CH2O], with X = [(CH3)3CNH] (1), [(CH3)2HCNH] (2) and [C6H11(CH3)N] (3), are investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The results illustrate that the compounds 1 and 3 crystallize with one independent molecule in the asymmetric unit; whereas, for 2, the compound crystallizes with three independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. The crystal structures are mostly stabilized via tri-furcated hydrogen bond interactions (C–H · · ·)2(N–H · · ·)O=P in 1 and (C–H · · ·)3O=P in 3, while the stability is given by bi-furcated hydrogen bond interactions (C–H · · ·)(N–H · · ·)O=P in 2. For a better understanding of the nature, strength and energetics associated with the formation of the quoted multi-center hydrogen bond interactions, the Natural Bond Order (NBO) method from Density Functional Theory (DFT) and a topological analysis by means of Atoms In Molecules (AIM) and Hirshfeld surface procedures were performed. These studies reveal that the studied multi-center hydrogen bond interactions of the type O · · · H are favoured in the crystal packing displaying enrichment ratios larger than unity. The detailed nature of the different interactions in these multi-center interactions is studied for the first time in such compounds. It is shown that the N–H · · · O interaction is rather non-covalent closed-shell whereas the C–H · · · O interaction is more van der Waals closed-shell. Stronger hydrogen bond interactions are observed for a lower multiple H-atom acceptor oxygen in three-center hydrogen bond interactions (C–H · · ·)(N–H · · ·)O=P of 2 than for four-center interactions in 1 [i.e. (C–H · · ·)2(N–H · · ·)O=P] and 3 [i.e. (C–H · · ·)3O=P]. The better H-atom acceptability of the O atom of P=O compared with the esteric O atom is explained by the richer s-character of the hybrid orbital of the O atom acceptor of P=O coupled with enhance of the polarization and charge. The obtained results are also confirmed by Molecular Electrostatic Potential (MEP).

Methyl-3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (matc) is a key intermediate in organic synthesis, medicine, dyes, and pesticides. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that matc crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system P21/c space group. Three matc molecules in the symmetric unit are crystallographically different and further linked through the N–H⋯O and N–H⋯N hydrogen bond interactions along with weak C–H⋯S and C–H⋯Cg interactions, which is verified by the three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface, two-dimensional fingerprint plot, and reduced density gradient (RDG) analysis. The interaction energies within crystal packing are visualized through dispersion, electrostatic, and total energies using three-dimensional energy-framework analyses. The dispersion energy dominates in crystal packing. To better understand the properties of matc, electrostatic potential (ESP) and frontier molecular orbitals (FMO) were also calculated and discussed. Experimental and calculation results suggested that amino and carboxyl groups can participate in various inter- and intra-interactions.

AbstractPoly(cyclic) oxamates represent novel and potentially multidentate ligands for coordination chemistry. To obtain them, the treatment of 2-nitroaniline with two equivalents of oxalyl chloride afforded N,N′-bis(2-nitrophenyl)oxalamide (1), and by reduction of 1 with [NH4][CO2H] and Pd/C, N,N′-bis(2-aminophenyl)oxalamide (2, bapoxH6) was synthesized. After the addition of an equimolar amount of oxalyl chloride to a THF solution of 2 and aqueous work-up the 24-membered macrocycle H8L2 was obtained. In analogues experiments, the addition of ethoxalyl and oxalyl chloride to 2 afforded the 36-membered macrocycle H12L3. The addition of Cu(OAc)2·H2O and NaOH to 2 gave rise to the formation of [Cu2(bapoxH4)(OAc)2] (4). The identities of 1, 2 and H8L2 were determined by elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopic studies and by mass spectrometry. The solid state structures of H8L2, H12L3 and 4 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Macrocycle H12L3 forms chains through intermolecular hydrogen bonds, while packing of 4 consists of layers held by intermolecular dispersion and hydrogen bond interactions. 24-mer H8L2 forms a cavity with a diameter of about 7.5 Å corresponding to an accessible volume of about 120 Å3 according to the well-established 55% solution and was found to bind bromide and iodide anions selectively.

The arylidene–imidazolone derivatives are a group of compounds of great interest in medicinal chemistry due to their various pharmacological actions. In order to study the possible conformations of an arylidene–imidazolone derivative, two new crystal structures were determined by X-ray diffraction, namely (Z)-5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-3H-imidazol-5(4H)-one, C15H17ClN4O, (6), and its salt 4-[5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-3H-imidazol-2-yl]-1-methylpiperazin-1-ium 3-{5-[4-(diethylamino)benzylidene]-4-oxo-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl}propionate, C15H18ClN4O+·C17H19N2O3S2 −, (7). Both compounds crystallize in the space group P\overline{1}. The basic form (6) crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. In the acid form of (6), the N atom of the piperazine ring is protonated by proton transfer from the carboxyl group of the rhodanine acid derivative. The greatest difference in the conformations of (6) and its protonated form, (6c), is observed in the location of the arylidene–imidazolone substituent at the N atom. In the case of (6c), the position of this substituent is close to axial, while for (6), the corresponding position is intermediate between equatorial and axial. The crystal packing is dominated by a network of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Furthermore, the crystal structures are stabilized by numerous intermolecular contacts of types C—H...N and C—H...Cl in (6), and C—H...O and C—H...S in (7). The geometry with respect to the location of the substituents at the N atoms of the piperazine ring was compared with other crystal structures possessing an N-methylpiperazine moiety.

The crystal structure of the monoclinic polymorph of the primary amino acid L-histidine has been determined for the first time by single-crystal neutron diffraction, while that of the orthorhombic polymorph has been reinvestigated with an untwinned crystal, improving the experimental precision and accuracy. For each polymorph, neutron diffraction data were collected at 5, 105 and 295 K. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments were also performed at the same temperatures. The two polymorphs, whose crystal packing is interpreted by intermolecular interaction energies calculated using the Pixel method, show differences in the energy and geometry of the hydrogen bond formed along the c direction. Taking advantage of the X-ray diffraction data collected at 5 K, the precision and accuracy of the new Hirshfeld atom refinement method implemented in NoSpherA2 were probed choosing various settings of the functionals and basis sets, together with the use of explicit clusters of molecules and enhanced rigid-body restraints for H atoms. Equivalent atomic coordinates and anisotropic displacement parameters were compared and found to agree well with those obtained from the corresponding neutron structural models.

Four polymorphs of bis(phthalocyaninato)neodymium(III) were reproducibly and selectively crystallized by the slow evaporation of saturated solutions. The obtained phase depended on the initial oxidation state of the NdPc<sub>2</sub> molecule and the choice of solvent. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies were used to correct previous mis-identifications and provide missing coordinates for the γ-phase as well as a detailed comparison of molecular structure and crystal packing in all NdPc<sub>2</sub> polymorphs. The primary feature in all phases is columnar stacking based on parallel π π interactions, with a variety of slip angles within those stacks as well as secondary interactions between them. Chemical redox and acid-base titrations, performed on re-dissolved crystals demonstrate that NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> and NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> are easily obtained through weak oxidizing and reducing agents, respectively. Additionally, we show that the protonated form of the NdPc<sub>2</sub><sup>-</sup> complex has a nearly identical UV-Vis spectra to that of neutral NdPc<sub>2</sub>, explaining some of the confusion over chemical composition in previously published literature.<br>

The crystal structures of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4CPA) included in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (TMβCD) have been studied by X-ray diffraction. The 4CPA/β-CD complex crystallizes as a head-to-head dimer in the space group C2 in the Tetrad packing mode. The packing modes of some β-CD dimeric complexes, having unique stackings, are also discussed. The 4CPA/TMβCD inclusion complex crystallizes in the space group P21 and its asymmetric unit contains two crystallographically independent complexes, complex A and complex B, exhibiting different conformations. The host molecule of complex A is significantly distorted, as a glucosidic residue rotated about the O4′—C1 and C4—O4 bonds forms an aperture where the guest molecule is accommodated. The phenyl moiety of the guest molecule of complex B is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the O4n atoms. The conformations of the guest molecules of the two complexes are similar. The crystal packing consists of antiparallel columns as in the majority of the TMβCD complexes published so far.

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.
