Title: 5-([( Z )-Methoxyimino]{2-[(2-methylphenoxy)methyl]phenyl}methyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3 H )-thione dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate
The title compound, C 18 H 17 N 3 O 3 S·C 2 H 6 OS, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 /c . In the crystal, C 1 1 (9) chains of C—H...O interactions are formed, propogating in the c -axis direction.

    The crystal structure of methyl 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-β-D-glycopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-mannopyranoside monohydrate, C 15 H 27 NO 11 ·H 2 O, was determined and its structural properties compared to those in a set of mono- and disaccharides bearing N -acetyl side-chains in βGlcNAc aldohexopyranosyl rings. Valence bond angles and torsion angles in these side chains are relatively uniform, but C—N (amide) and C—O (carbonyl) bond lengths depend on the state of hydrogen bonding to the carbonyl O atom and N—H hydrogen. Relative to N -acetyl side chains devoid of hydrogen bonding, those in which the carbonyl O atom serves as a hydrogen-bond acceptor display elongated C—O and shortened C—N bonds. This behavior is reproduced by density functional theory (DFT) calculations, indicating that the relative contributions of amide resonance forms to experimental C—N and C—O bond lengths depend on the solvation state, leading to expectations that activation barriers to amide cis – trans isomerization will depend on the polarity of the environment. DFT calculations also revealed useful predictive information on the dependencies of inter-residue hydrogen bonding and some bond angles in or proximal to β-(1→4) O -glycosidic linkages on linkage torsion angles ϕ and ψ. Hypersurfaces correlating ϕ and ψ with the linkage C—O—C bond angle and total energy are sufficiently similar to render the former a proxy of the latter.

    The structure of a trinuclear zinc complex, hexakis(μ 2 -2-anilinobenzoato)diaquatrizinc(II), [Zn 2 (C 13 H 10 NO 2 ) 6 (H 2 O) 2 ] or (NPA) 6 Zn 3 (H 2 O) 2 (NPA is 2-anilinobenzoate or N -phenylanthranilate), is reported. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group P -1 and the central Zn II atom is located on an inversion center. The NPA ligand is found to coordinate via the carboxylate O atoms with unique C—O bond lengths that support an unequal distribution of resonance over the carboxylate fragment. The axial H 2 O ligands form hydrogen bonds with neighboring molecules that stabilize the supramolecular system in rigid straight chains, with an angle of 180° along the c axis. π stacking is the primary stabilization along the a and b axes, resulting in a highly ordered supramolecular structure. Docking studies show that this unique supramolecular structure of a trinuclear zinc complex has potential for binding to the main protease (M pro ) in SARS-CoV-2 in a different location from Remdesivir, but with a similar binding strength.

    Tolnaftate, a classic antifungal compound, has been found to crystallize from 1:1 ( v / v ) acetone–water as large flat colorless needles in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c . These crystals contain a 50:50 mixture of the (+ ap ,− sp ,+ ac ,− ac ) and (− ap ,+ sp ,− ac ,+ ac ) conformers. The bond lengths in the central CNOS unit are 1.3444 (19), 1.3556 (18) and 1.6567 (15) Å for C—N, C—O and C—S, respectively, and the CNOS and C 3 N moieties are flat and nearly coplanar with each other, consistent with the C—N bond possessing partial double-bond character. Tolnaftate and the four most closely related N , N -disubstituted thiocarbamates in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) all exist as E -conformational isomers in the solid state. Among these five compounds, tolnaftate is the only one in which the N -tolyl moiety is positioned trans to the S atom, i.e. the N -aryl substituent in each of the other compounds is positioned cis to their respective S atom. Notably, and more importantly, our experimental X-ray structure is unlike all prior theoretical models available for tolnaftate. The implication, either directly or indirectly, is that some of those theoretical models used in earlier studies to explain the spectroscopic properties of tolnaftate and to suggest which protein–ligand interactions are responsible for the binding of tolnaftate to squalene epoxidase are either inappropriate or structurally unreasonable, i.e. the results and conclusions from those prior studies are in need of critical reassessment.

    The title thiazole orange derivative, bearing an alkene substituent, crystallized as a monohydrate of its iodide salt, namely, (Z)-1-(hex-5-en-1-yl)-4-{[3-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-ylidene]methyl}quinolin-1-ium iodide monohydrate, C24H25N2S+·I−·H2O. The packing features aromatic π-stacking and van der Waals interactions. The water molecule of crystallization interacts with the cation and anionviaO—H...N and O—H...I hydrogen bonds, respectively.

    Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) excitation, dispersed fluorescence (DFL), UV–UV-hole burning, and UV-depletion spectra have been collected on methyl anthranilate (MA, methyl 2-aminobenzoate) and its water-containing complex (MA–H 2 O), under jet-cooled conditions in the gas phase. As a close structural analog of a sunscreen agent, MA has a strong absorption due to the S 0 –S 1 transition that begins in the UV-A region, with the electronic origin at 28 852 cm −1 (346.6 nm). Unlike most sunscreens that have fast non-radiative pathways back to the ground state, MA fluoresces efficiently, with an excited state lifetime of 27 ns. Relative to methyl benzoate, inter-system crossing to the triplet manifold is shut off in MA by the strong intramolecular NH⋯OC H-bond, which shifts the 3 nπ* state well above the 1 ππ* S 1 state. Single vibronic level DFL spectra are used to obtain a near-complete assignment of the vibronic structure in the excited state. Much of the vibrational structure in the excitation spectrum is Franck–Condon activity due to three in-plane vibrations that modulate the distance between the NH 2 and CO 2 Me groups, ν 33 (421 cm −1 ), ν 34 (366 cm −1 ), and ν 36 (179 cm −1 ). Based on the close correspondence between experiment and theory at the TD-DFT B3LYP-D3BJ/def2TZVP level of theory, the major structural changes associated with electronic excitation are evaluated, leading to the conclusion that the major motion is a reorientation and constriction of the 6-membered H-bonded ring closed by the intramolecular NH⋯OC H-bond. This leads to a shortening of the NH⋯OC H-bond distance from 1.926 Å to 1.723 Å, equivalent to about a 25% reduction in the H⋯O distance compared to full H-atom transfer. As a result, the excited state process near the S 1 origin is a hydrogen atom dislocation that is brought about primarily by heavy atom motion, since the shortened H-bond distance results from extensive heavy-atom motion, with only a 0.03 Å increase in the NH bond length relative to its ground state value.
