Title: Crystal structure of 4-bromo-5,7-dimethoxy-2,3-dihydro-1 H -inden-1-one
In the title molecule, C11H11BrO3, the dihydroindene moiety is essentially planar but with a slight twist in the saturated portion of the five-membered ring. The methoxy groups lie close to the above plane. In the crystal, π-stacking interactions between six-membered rings form stacks of molecules extending along thea-axis direction, which are linked by weak C—H...O and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed showing H...H, O...H/H...O and Br...H/H...Br contacts make the largest contributions to intermolecular interactions in the crystal.  more » « less

    The 1:1 cocrystal of 5-fluorocytosine (5FC) and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde (4HB), C4H4FN3O·C7H6O2has been synthesized and its structure characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinicP21/cspace group. A robust supramolecular architecture is stabilized by N—H...O, N—H...N, C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8),R44(22),R66(32), andR88(34) ring motifs. The N—H...O and N—H...N hydrogen bonds form strong directional interactions, contributing to theR22(8) andR88(34) motifs through dimeric and extended ring structures. O—H...O interactions link 5FC and 4HB molecules, generating anR66(32) ring that enhances the packing. Weaker C—H...F bonds help form theR44(22) tetrameric motif, supporting the overall three-dimensional supramolecular framework. Additionally, C—F...π interactions between the fluorine atom and the aromatic ring add further to the crystal cohesion. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots confirm that O...H/H...O contacts are the most significant, highlighting the central role of hydrogen bonding in the stability and organization of the crystal structure.

    The synthesis and the crystal structure of 1 H -imidazole-1-methanol, C 4 H 6 N 2 O, are described. This compound comprises an imidazole ring with a methanol group attached at the 1-position affording an imine nitrogen atom able to receive a hydrogen bond and an alcohol group able to donate to a hydrogen bond. This imidazole methanol crystallizes with monoclinic ( P 2 1 / n ) symmetry with three symmetry-unique molecules. These three molecules are connected via O—H...N hydrogen bonding in a head-to-tail configuration to form independent three-membered macrocycles.

    During the course of exploring crystallization conditions in generating metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) for use in the crystalline sponge method, two discrete metal–organic complexes, namely, aqua[2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine]zinc(II) bromide, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Br2, and aqua[2,4,6-tris(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazine]zinc(II) chloride, [Zn(C18H12N6)(H2O)]Cl2, were encountered. Structures in the orthorhombic space groupPnma(No. 62) for the bromide congener at 299 K and the chloride congener at 100 K were obtained. A phase transition for the bromide congener occurred upon cooling from 299 to 100 K, yielding a crystal polymorph with four domains that exhibits monoclinicP21/mspace-group symmetry (No. 11), which arises from conformational changes. The main intramolecular contacts that contribute to the crystal packing in all observed structures are H...H, Halide...H/H...Halide, C...H/H...C, and N...H/H...N. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the Zn-bound water and non-Zn-bound pyridyl N atoms is a prominent feature within the three-dimensional networks. Aromatic π-stacking between the non-Zn-bound pyridine rings and contacts involving the halide ligands further stabilize the crystal packing.

    Abstract Reactions of (O=)PH(OCH2CH3)2and BrMg(CH2)mCH=CH2(4.9–3.2 equiv;m=4 (a), 5 (b), 6 (c)) give the dialkylphosphine oxides (O=)PH[(CH2)mCH=CH2]2(2 a–c; 77–81 % after workup), which are treated with NaH and then α,ω‐dibromides Br(CH2)nBr (0.49–0.32 equiv;n=8 (a′), 10 (b′), 12 (c′), 14 (d′)) to yield the bis(trialkylphosphine oxides) [H2C=CH(CH2)m]2P(=O)(CH2)n(O=)P[(CH2)mCH=CH2]2(3 ab′,3 bc′,3 cd′,3 ca′; 79–84 %). Reactions of3 bc′and3 ca′with Grubbs’ first‐generation catalyst and then H2/PtO2afford the dibridgehead diphosphine dioxides(4 bc′,4 ca′; 14–19 %,n′=2m+2);31P NMR spectra show two stereoisomeric species (ca. 70:30). Crystal structures of two isomers of the latter are obtained,out,out‐4 ca′and a conformer ofin,out‐4 ca′that features crossed chains, such that the (O=)P vectors appearout,out. Whereas4 bc′resists crystallization, a byproduct derived from an alternative metathesis mode, (CH2)12P(=O)(CH2)12(O=)P(CH2)12, as well as3 ab′and3 bc′, are structurally characterized. The efficiencies of other routes to dibridgehead diphosphorus compounds are compared.

    The title compound, systematic name tris(μ2-perfluoro-o-phenylene)(μ2-3-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one)-triangulo-trimercury, [Hg3(C6F4)3(C15H10O2)], crystallizes in the monoclinicP21/nspace group with one flavone (FLA) and one cyclic trimeric perfluoro-o-phenylenemercury (TPPM) molecule per asymmetric unit. The FLA molecule is located on one face of the TPPM acceptor and is linked in an asymmetric coordination of its carbonyl oxygen atom with two Hg centers of the TPPM macrocycle. The angular-shaped complexes pack in zigzag chains where they stackviatwo alternating TPPM–TPPM and FLA–FLA stacking patterns. The distance between the mean planes of the neighboring TPPM macrocycles in the stack is 3.445 (2) Å, and that between the benzo-γ-pyrone moieties of FLA is 3.328 (2) Å. The neighboring stacks are interdigitated through the shortened F...F, CH...F and CH...π contacts, forming a dense crystal structure.
