TNA/DNA hybrids share several similarities to RNA/DNA, such as the tendency to form A-type helices and a strong dependency of their thermodynamic properties on purine/pyrimidine ratio. However, unlike RNA/DNA, not much is known about the base-pair properties of TNA. Here, we use a mesoscopic analysis of measured melting temperatures to obtain an estimate of hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions. Our results reveal that the AT base pairs in TNA/DNA have nearly identical hydrogen bond strengths than their counterparts in RNA/DNA, but surprisingly CG turned out to be much weaker despite similar stability.

The molecular and supramolecular structures of eight N 4-substituted 2,4-diamino-6-benzyloxy-5-nitrosopyrimidines are discussed, along with one analogue containing no nitroso substituent. The nitroso derivatives all exhibit polarized molecular-electronic structures leading to extensive charge-assisted hydrogen bonding between the molecules. The intermolecular interactions include hard hydrogen bonds of N—H...O and N—H...N types, together with O—H...O and O—H...N types in the monohydrate of 2-amino-6-benzyloxy-4-piperidino-5-nitrosopyrimidine, soft hydrogen bonds of C—H...O, C—H...π(arene) and N—H...π(arene) types and aromatic π...π stacking interactions. The predominant supramolecular structure types take the form of chains and sheets, but no two of the structures determined here exhibit the same combination of hydrogen-bond types.

Mesoscopic models can be used for the description of the thermodynamic properties of RNA duplexes. With the use of experimental melting temperatures, its parametrization can provide important insights into its hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions as has been done for high sodium concentrations. However, the RNA parametrization for lower salt concentrations is still missing due to the limited amount of published melting temperature data. While the Peyrard-Bishop (PB) parametrization was found to be largely independent of strand concentrations, it requires that all temperatures are provided at the same strand concentrations. Here we adapted the PB model to handle multiple strand concentrations and in this way we were able to make use of an experimental set of temperatures to model the hydrogen bond and stacking interactions at low and intermediate sodium concentrations. For the parametrizations we make a distinction between terminal and internal base pairs, and the resulting potentials were qualitatively similar as we obtained previously for DNA. The main difference from DNA parameters, was the Morse potentials at low sodium concentrations for terminal r(AU) which is stronger than d(AT), suggesting higher hydrogen bond strength.

In the title compound, [Cu2Cl4(C12H8N2O4)2]·4C3H7NO, which contains a chloride-bridged centrosymmetric CuIIdimer, the CuIIatom is in a distorted square-pyramidal 4 + 1 coordination geometry defined by the N atoms of the chelating 2,2′-bipyridine ligand, a terminal chloride and two bridging chloride ligands. Of the two independent dimethylformamide molecules, one is hydrogen bonded to a single –COOH group, while one links two adjacent –COOH groupsviaa strong accepted O—H...O and a weak donated C(O)—H...O hydrogen bond. Two of these last molecules and the two –COOH groups form a centrosymmetric hydrogen-bonded ring in which the CH=O and the –COOH groups by disorder adopt two alternate orientations in a 0.44:0.56 ratio. These hydrogen bonds link the CuIIcomplex molecules and the dimethylformamide solvent molecules into infinite chains along [-111]. Slipped π–π stacking interactions between two centrosymmetric pyridine rings (centroid–centroid distance = 3.63 Å) contribute to the coherence of the structure along [0-11].

Molecules of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-4-nitroaniline, 4-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (1), are linked by three-centre I...O2N interactions into chains and these chains are linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the isomeric N-(4′-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-4-iodoaniline, 4-IC6H4NHSO2C6H4NO2-4′ (2), the chains generated by the I...O2N interactions are again linked into a three-dimensional framework by C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Molecules of N,N-bis(3′-nitrophenylsulfonyl)-4-iodoaniline, 4-IC6H4N(SO2C6H4NO2-3′)2 (3), lie across twofold rotation axes in space group C2/c and they are linked into chains by paired I...O=S interactions: these chains are linked into sheets by a C—H...O hydrogen bond, and the sheets are linked into a three-dimensional framework by aromatic π...π stacking interactions. In N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-3-nitroaniline, 3-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (4), there are R^2_2(8) rings formed by hard N—H...O=S hydrogen bonds and R^2_2(24) rings formed by two-centre I...nitro interactions, which together generate a chain of fused rings: the combination of a C—H...O hydrogen bond and aromatic π...π stacking interactions links the chains into sheets. Molecules of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-4-methyl-2-nitroaniline, 4-CH3-2-O2NC6H3NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (5), are linked by N—H...O=S and C—H...O(nitro) hydrogen bonds into a chain containing alternating R^2_2(8) and R^2_2(10) rings, but there are no I...O interactions of either type. There are two molecules in the asymmetric unit of N-(4′-iodophenylsulfonyl)-2-nitroaniline, 2-O2NC6H4NHSO2C6H4I-4′ (6), and the combination of an I...O=S interaction and a hard N—H...O(nitro) hydrogen bond links the two types of molecule to form a cyclic, centrosymmetric four-component aggregate. C—H...O hydrogen bonds link these four-molecule aggregates to form a molecular ladder. Comparisons are made with structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database.

In order to study the preferred hydrogen-bonding pattern of 6-amino-2-thiouracil, C4H5N3OS, (I), crystallization experiments yielded five different pseudopolymorphs of (I), namely the dimethylformamide disolvate, C4H5N3OS·2C3H7NO, (Ia), the dimethylacetamide monosolvate, C4H5N3OS·C4H9NO, (Ib), the dimethylacetamide sesquisolvate, C4H5N3OS·1.5C4H9NO, (Ic), and two different 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one sesquisolvates, C4H5N3OS·1.5C5H9NO, (Id) and (Ie). All structures containR21(6) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs. In the latter four structures, additionalR22(8) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs are present stabilizing homodimers of (I). No type of hydrogen bond other than N—H...O is observed. According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, most 2-thiouracil derivatives form homodimers stabilized by anR22(8) hydrogen-bonding pattern, with (i) only N—H...O, (ii) only N—H...S or (iii) alternating pairs of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.

The title benzofuran derivatives 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF1), C19H18N2O6, and 2-methoxyethyl 2-amino-5-hydroxy-4-(4-nitrophenyl)benzofuran-3-carboxylate (BF2), C18H16N2O7, recently attracted attention because of their promising antitumoral activity. BF1 crystallizes in the space group P\overline{1}. BF2 in the space group P21/c. The nitrophenyl group is inclined to benzofuran moiety with a dihedral angle between their mean planes of 69.2 (2)° in BF1 and 60.20 (6)° in BF2. A common feature in the molecular structures of BF1 and BF2 is the intramolecular N—H...Ocarbonyl hydrogen bond. In the crystal of BF1, the molecules are linked head-to-tail into a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonding pattern along the a-axis direction. In BF2, pairs of head-to-tail hydrogen-bonded chains of molecules along the b-axis direction are linked by O—H...Omethoxy hydrogen bonds. In BF1, the butyl group is disordered over two orientations with occupancies of 0.557 (13) and 0.443 (13).

In the structure of the brucinium salt of 4-aminophenylarsonic acid (p-arsanilic acid), systematically 2,3-dimethoxy-10-oxostrychnidinium 4-aminophenylarsonate tetrahydrate, (C23H27N2O4)[As(C6H7N)O2(OH)]·4H2O, the brucinium cations form the characteristic undulating and overlapping head-to-tail layered brucine substructures packed along [010]. The arsanilate anions and the water molecules of solvation are accommodated between the layers and are linked to them through a primary cation N—H...O(anion) hydrogen bond, as well as through water O—H...O hydrogen bonds to brucinium and arsanilate ions as well as bridging water O-atom acceptors, giving an overall three-dimensional network structure.
