Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(7-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)ethan-1-one

The bicyclic imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine core in the molecule of the title compound, C10H7F3N2O, is planar within 0.004 (1) Å. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming strips. These strips are connected by the F...F contacts into layers, which are further joined by π–π stacking interactions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that molecular packing is governed by F...H/H...F (31.6%), H...H (16.8%), C...H/H...C (13.8%) and O...H/H...O (8.5%) contacts.

Hirshfeld Surface Investigation of Intermolecular Interaction of N-Aroyl-N’-(2-pyridyl)thiourea Derivatives

A detailed analysis of the intermolecular interactions of the crystalline structure of thiourea derivatives namely 1-(3-Methylbenzoyl)-3-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)-thiourea, N-(2-Furoyl)-N’-(6-methyl-2-pyridyl)thiourea, 2-Methyl-N-[(3-methyl-2-pyridyl)-carbamothioyl]benzamide and 1-(4-Chlorobenzoyl)-3-(3-methylpyridin-2-yl)thiourea have been performed based on the Hirshfeld surfaces and their associated two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The result showed that the structures were stabilized by H···H, H···S, O···H, N···H, C–H···π, and π···π intermolecular interactions, which contribute mostly to the packing of the species in the crystal. The three largest contributions to the packing of the molecules in the crystals were provided by H···H, C–H···S and C··· H intermolecular interactions.

Theoretical Insights on the High Pressure Behavior of Pentazolate Anion Complex [Co(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O

Periodic dispersion corrected density functional theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to examine the Hirshfeld surface, two dimensional (2D) fingerprint plots, crystal structure, molecular structure and density of state of all-nitrogen pentazolate anion complex [Co(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O under hydrostatic pressure from 0 to 20 GPa. The GGA/PW91-OBS method was applied in the present study. The intercontacts in [Co(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O were analyzed by Hirshfeld surfaces and 2D fingerprint plots. With ascending pressure, the lattice constants, compression rates, bond lengths, bond angles, and density of states change irregularly. Under 11.5, 13.0 and 15.8 GPa, covalent interaction competition is obvious between Co−N and Co−O bonds. It is possible to achieve orderly modification and regulation of the internal structure of [Co(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O by applied pressure. This is in accordance with the results from density of states analysis. The external compression causes the nonuniformity of electron density and the differential covalent interaction between pentazolate anion, coordinated water and atom Co. It is of great significance to interpret inter/intramolecular interaction and structural stability of [Co(H2O)4(N5)2]·4H2O and provide theoretical guidance for the design of metal complexes of all-nitrogen pentazolate anion.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a bromochalcone: (E)-1-(3-bromophenyl)-3-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title chalcone derivative, C15H9BrCl2O, the aryl rings are inclined to each by 14.49 (17)°, and the configuration about the C=C bond is E. There is a short intramolecular C—H...Cl contact present resulting in the formation of an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the shortest intermolecular contacts are Cl...O contacts [3.173 (3) Å] that link the molecules to form a 21 helix propagating along the b-axis direction. The helices stack up the short crystallographic a axis, and are linked by offset π–π interactions [intercentroid distance = 3.983 (1) Å], forming layers lying parallel to the ab plane. A quantification of the intermolecular contacts in the crystal were estimated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots.

Comparison of the crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of five N-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)glycine hydrazone derivatives

The crystal structures of N-(4-methylbenzenesulfonyl)glycine hydrazone and four derivatives with four different substituents have been investigated, namely, (E)-N-{2-[2-(benzylidene)hydrazinyl]-2-oxoethyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, C16H17N3O3S, (I), (E)-N-{2-[2-(4-bromobenzylidene)hydrazinyl]-2-oxoethyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, C16H16BrN3O3S, (II), (E)-N-{2-[2-(4-chlorobenzylidene)hydrazinyl]-2-oxoethyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, C16H16ClN3O3S, (III), (E)-N-(2-{2-[4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]hydrazinyl}-2-oxoethyl)-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, C18H22N4O3S, (IV), and (E)-N-{2-[2-(4-methoxybenzylidene)hydrazinyl]-2-oxoethyl}-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide, C17H19N3O4S, (V). The molecules in all five crystal structures show similar conformations and hydrogen-bonding patterns. The central part of the molecule, i.e. C—C—N—N=C, is almost linear in all the structures, with the C—C—N—N torsion angles ranging from −178.3 (1) to −180.0 (2)° and the C—N—N=C torsion angles ranging from −178.5 (4) to −179.8 (3)°. The conformation of the N—H and C=O bonds in the amide group of the hydrazone part is syn in all the compounds. In all the structures, sulfonamide and hydrazone dimers with R 2 2(8) ring motifs are observed, which are further augmented by C—H...O interactions. A common feature of each of (I)–(V) is the formation of sulfonamide and hydrazone dimers with an R 2 2(8) ring motif. Hirshfeld surface analyses gave fingerprint plots for H...H, O...H/H...O, N...H/H...N, C...H/H...C and other contacts. The H...H contacts show large surfaces, whereas the O...H plots show the presence of O...H/O...H contacts with the two characteristic long sharp spikes.

A 1:1 energetic co-crystal formed between trinitrotoluene and 2,3-diaminotoluene

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.
