Three organophosphorus mercury (II) coordination compounds [Hg2(µ-X)2X2(PPh3)2] {X: I (1), Br (2), and Cl (3)} have been synthesized by the reaction of mercury (II) halides with triphenylphosphine. The prepared complexes were characterized by spectroscopic techniques as well as by elemental analysis. The crystal structure of [Hg2(µ-I)2I2(PPh3)2] (1) was obtained by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. Crystal data for [Hg2(µ-I)2I2(PPh3)2], C36H30Hg2I4P2: Monoclinic, space group P21/c (no. 14), a = 19.2115(13) Å, b = 11.1291(8) Å, c = 19.0599(14) Å, β = 90.461(2)°, V = 4075.0(5) Å3, Z = 4, T = 293.15 K, μ (MoKα) = 10.657 mm-1, Dcalc = 2.336 g/cm3, 46095 reflections measured (4.23° ≤ 2Θ ≤ 49.994°), 7182 unique (Rint = 0.0563, Rsigma = 0.0365) which were used in all calculations. The final R1 was 0.0322 (I > 2σ(I)) and wR2 was 0.0780 (all data). The single crystal analysis of [Hg2(µ-I)2I2(PPh3)2] complex revealed that it has dimeric structure with bridged halides. [Hg2(µ-I)2I2(PPh3)2] complex has also a supramolecular arrangement through I···H-C interactions. The crystal packing and supramolecular features of these coordination compounds have also been studied using geometrical analysis, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicated that H···H (49.3%), C···H (10.6%), and I···H (12.8%) interactions are the primary contributors to the intermolecular stabilization in the crystal. The equilibrium geometries of the studied complexes are investigated theoretically at the B3LYP/LANL2DZ level of theory. The calculated energy gap between HOMO-LUMO orbitals for complexes 1, 2, and 3 are in the trend of complex 3 > 2 > 1.

Abstract Two new organic–inorganic hybrid materials, based on 1,3-CycloHexaneBis-(Methyl Amine), abbreviated CHBMA, namely (H2CHBMA)ZnCl4·2H2O (CP1) and (H2CHBMA)CdI4·2H2O (CP2), have been synthesized under mild conditions in acidic media and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques (13C NMR, FTIR, RAMAN) and thermal analysis. The crystal structures of the two compounds were solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Both compounds show a 3-dimensional supramolecular structure directed by various interactions between tetrahalidometallate anions (ZnCl42−, CdI42−), water molecule and organic cations (H2CHBMA)2+. For both compounds, the cyclohexane ring of the template cation is in a chair conformation with the methylammonium substituent in the equatorial positions and the two terminal ammonium groups in a cis conformation but with two different orientations (upward for CP1 and downward for CP2) which influences the supramolecular architecture of the two structures. Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated two-dimensional finger print plots were used to explore and quantify the intermolecular interactions in the crystals.

Single crystals of 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazoniatricyclo(16.4.0.07,12)docosane tetrachloride tetrahydrate compound, [C20H44N4]Cl4·4H2O (1), were obtained by a novel synthetic route and characterized by elemental analysis and X-ray diffraction. The synthesized compound crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/n with two molecules of compound 1 in the unit cell [a = 7.5548(3) Å, b = 23.1838(8) Å, c = 8.3101(4) Å; β = 103.390(3)º]. The asymmetric unit contains half a centrosymmetric macrocyclic cation, two chloride anions and two water molecules. The organic [C20H44N4]4+ fragment of 1 adopts an exodentate [3,4,3,4]-D conformation. The C–C and N–C bond lengths of the macrocyclic tetracation range 1.525(3)-1.540(3) Å and 1.505(3)-1.519(3) Å, respectively. A three-dimensional hydrogen bonding network provides crystal cohesion through O–H···Cl, N–H···Cl and N–H···O interactions between organic cations, chloride anions and water molecules. The functional groups present in the crystal were studied by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and 2D fingerprint plots revealed that the crystal packing in 1 is dominated by H···H, Cl···H/H···Cl and O···H/H···O contacts.

The title compound, C18H16N2O2, consists of perimidine and methoxyphenol units, where the tricyclic perimidine unit contains a naphthalene ring system and a non-planar C4N2 ring adopting an envelope conformation with the NCN group hinged by 47.44 (7)° with respect to the best plane of the other five atoms. In the crystal, O—HPhnl...NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn...OPhnl (Phnl = phenol and Prmdn = perimidine) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. Weak C—H...π interactions may further stabilize the crystal structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (49.0%), H...C/C...H (35.8%) and H...O/O...H (12.0%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the O—HPhnl...NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn...OPhnl hydrogen-bond energies are 58.4 and 38.0 kJ mol−1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

A new mononuclear NiII complex with bis(pyridin-2-yl)amine (dpyam) and benzoate (benz), [Ni(C7H5O2)2(C10H9N3)], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The NiII ion adopts a cis-distorted octahedral geometry with an [NiN2O4] chromophore. In the crystal, the complex molecules are linked together into a one-dimensional chain by symmetry-related π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.7257 (17) Å], along with N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal packing is further stabilized by C—H...π interactions, which were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Synthesis and crystal structure analysis of meso-tetratolylporphyrins, 1–5 combined with computational Hirshfeld surface analysis were investigated. The crystal packing of porphyrins 1, 3 and 4 are arranged in an “orthogonal fashion” whereas 2 and 5 are in a “slip-stack or off-set fashion” through various intermolecular interactions. Compound 2 exhibits saddle geometry whereas 5 showed a domed geometry as evident from the single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The enhancement of non-planarity in 2 is probably due to the presence of numerous intermolecular interactions caused by the presence of trifluoroacetate anions on both faces of the porphyrin in addition to the bulky bromine groups at the [Formula: see text]-pyrrole positions. In 5, the non-planarity is merely due to the metal coordination at the porphyrin core as pentacoordinated Mn[Formula: see text] center with a chloro ligand in the axial position. Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed in order to analyze the various intermolecular interactions present in these porphyrins and the result was discussed.

The title molecule, C13H16N4O, adopts an angular conformation. In the crystal a layer structure is generated by N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds together with C—H...π(ring) interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...H (53.8%), H...C/C...H (21.7%), H...N/N...H (13.6%), and H...O/O...H (10.8%) interactions. The optimized structure calculated using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The calculated HOMO–LUMO energy gap is 5.0452 eV.

The title compound, C18H12Cl2N2OS, consists of a dihydrobenzothiazine unit linked by a –CH group to a 2,4-dichlorophenyl substituent, and to a propanenitrile unit is folded along the S...N axis and adopts a flattened-boat conformation. The propanenitrile moiety is nearly perpendicular to the mean plane of the dihydrobenzothiazine unit. In the crystal, C—HBnz...NPrpnit and C—HPrpnit...OThz (Bnz = benzene, Prpnit = propanenitrile and Thz = thiazine) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into inversion dimers, enclosing R 2 2(16) and R 2 2(12) ring motifs, which are linked into stepped ribbons extending along [110]. The ribbons are linked in pairs by complementary C=O...Cl interactions. π–π contacts between the benzene and phenyl rings, [centroid–centroid distance = 3.974 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (23.4%), H...Cl/Cl...H (19.5%), H...C/C...H (13.5%), H...N/N...H (13.3%), C...C (10.4%) and H...O/O...H (5.1%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry calculations indicate that the two independent C—HBnz...NPrpnit and C—HPrpnit...OThz hydrogen bonds in the crystal impart about the same energy (ca 43 kJ mol−1). Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

The title compound, C24H30Br2N4O2, consists of a 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-4H-imidazo[4,5-b]pyridine entity with a 12-bromododecyl substituent attached to the pyridine N atom. The middle eight-carbon portion of the side chain is planar to within 0.09 (1) Å and makes a dihedral angle of 21.9 (8)° with the mean plane of the imidazolopyridine moiety, giving the molecule a V-shape. In the crystal, the imidazolopyridine units are associated through slipped π–π stacking interactions together with weak C—HPyr...ONtr and C—HBrmdcyl...ONtr (Pyr = pyridine, Ntr = nitro and Brmdcyl = bromododecyl) hydrogen bonds. The 12-bromododecyl chains overlap with each other between the stacks. The terminal –CH2Br group of the side chain shows disorder over two resolved sites in a 0.902 (3):0.098 (3) ratio. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (48.1%), H...Br/Br...H (15.0%) and H...O/O...H (12.8%) interactions. The optimized molecular structure, using density functional theory at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level, is compared with the experimentally determined structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

In the title molecule, C24H21N5O·H2O, the dihydrobenzodiazole moiety is not quite planar, while the whole molecule adopts a U-shaped conformation in which there is a close approach of the two benzyl groups. In the crystal, chains of alternating molecules and lattice water extending along [201] are formed by O—HUncoordW...ODhyr and O—HUncoordW...NTrz (UncoordW = uncoordinated water, Dhyr = dihydro and Trz = triazole) hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected into layers parallel to (010) by C—HTrz...OUncoordW hydrogen bonds with the dihydrobenzodiazole units in adjacent layers intercalating to form head-to-tail π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.5694 (11) Å] interactions between them, which generates the overall three-dimensional structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (52.1%), H...C/C...H (23.8%) and O...H/H...O (11.2%) interactions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.
