In the title compound, C₁₇H₂₀N₂O₃, the cyclo­butane ring is puckered, with a dihedral angle of 19.11 (15)°. The 1‐phenyl and 3‐[1‐hydroxy­imino‐2‐(succinimido)­ethyl] groups are in cis positions. The mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(benzene) interactions, forming a two‐dimensional network.     

2‐[Benzoyl­(hydroxy­imino)­methyl­amino]­benzoic acid

The structure of the title compound, C₁₅H₁₂N₂O₄, consists of a polymeric arrangement, around inversion centres, of mol­ecules linked through O—H⋯N and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds; there are also intramolecular hydrogen bonds. All these hydrogen‐bond interactions result in the formation of infinite chains parallel to the [010] direction. The oxime group has an E conformation.     

Adducts of 1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane with 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane and 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene: continuously interwoven structures in three dimensions

In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethane–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane (1/2), C₁₂H₁₂N₂·2C₂₀H₁₈O₃, the bipyridyl component lies across an inversion centre in P. The tris‐phenol mol­ecules [systematic name: 4,4′,4′′‐(ethane‐1,1,1‐triyl)­triphenol] are linked by O—H?O hydrogen bonds to form sheets built from R(38) rings, and symmetry‐related pairs of sheets are linked by the bipyridyl mol­ecules via O—H?N hydrogen bonds to form open bilayers. Each bilayer is interwoven with two adjacent bilayers, forming a continuous three‐dimensional structure. In the adduct 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)­ethene–1,1,1‐tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­ethane–methanol (1/1/1), C₁₂H₁₀N₂·C₂₀H₁₈O₃·CH₄O, the mol­ecules are linked by O—H?O and O—H?N hydrogen bonds into three interwoven three‐dimensional frameworks, generated by single spiral chains along [010] and [001] and a triple‐helical spiral along [100].     

Ethyl (E)‐3‐(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐(morpholino­carbonyl)­propenoate

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₉NO₅, crystallizes as a centrosymmetric dimer through strong O—H⋯O hydrogen‐bonding interactions between the hydroxy­phenyl and morpholino­carbonyl groups. The morpholino­carbonyl group is almost perpendicular to the propenoate moiety. Electron delocalization in the N—C(=O) fragment leads to the formation of hydrogen‐bonded S(5) ring motifs through C—H⋯O interactions.     

Hydro­gen‐bond networks in tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane and its 1:1 molecular complex with 4,4′‐bi­pyridine

In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane (or 4,4′,4′′‐methane­triyl­tri­phenol), C₁₉H₁₆O₃, mol­ecules are connected by O—H⃛O hydrogen bonds [O⃛O = 2.662 (2) and 2.648 (2) Å] into two‐dimensional square networks that are twofold interpenetrated. In tris(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)­methane–4,4′‐bi­pyridine (1/1), C₁₉H₁₆O₃·C₁₀H₈N₂, trisphenol mol­ecules form rectangular networks via O—H⃛O [O⃛O = 2.694 (3) Å] and C—H⃛O [C⃛O = 3.384 (3) Å] hydrogen bonds. Bi­pyridine mol­ecules hydrogen bonded to phenol moieties [O⃛N = 2.622 (3) and 2.764 (3) Å] fill the voids to complete the structure.     

N‐(3H‐Thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine and N‐methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine

The geometries of the thia­zole ring and the nitr­amino groups in N‐(3H‐thia­zol‐2‐yl­idene)­nitr­amine, C₃H₃N₃O₂S, (I), and N‐­methyl‐N‐(thia­zol‐2‐yl)­nitr­amine, C₄H₅N₃O₂S, (II), are very similar. The nitr­amine group in (II) is planar and twisted along the C—N bond with respect to the thia­zole ring. In both structures, the asymmetric unit includes two practically equal mol­ecules. In (I), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers connected to each other by N—H⋯N and much weaker C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure of (II), the mol­ecules are arranged in layers bound to each other by both weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and S⋯O dipolar interactions.     

2′‐(4‐Fluoro­phenyl)‐[1,2,3]­triazolo[4′,5′:16,17]­androst‐5‐en‐3β‐ol methanol hemisolvate

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C₂₅H₃₀FN₃O·0.5CH₃OH, contains four symmetry‐independent steroid and two methanol mol­ecules. The conformations of the independent steroid mol­ecules are very similar. Intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds create two independent chains, each of which links two of the independent steroid mol­ecules plus one methanol mol­ecule via a co‐operative O—H⋯O—H⋯O—H pattern. Intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F interactions are also observed.     

N‐(1‐Naphthyl­acetyl)­glycine phen­acyl ester and phen­acyl (1‐naphthyl­acetoxy)­acetate

The structures of the bichromophoric compounds N‐(1‐naphthyl­acetyl)­gly­cine phen­acyl ester, C₂₂H₁₉NO₄, (I), and its oxy­gen analogue, phen­acyl (1‐naphthyl­acetoxy)­acetate, C₂₂H₁₈O₅, (II), have been determined. The mol­ecules of (I) are held together by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carbonyl and N—H groups, while compound (II) does not show any hydrogen bonding in the crystal.     

Supramolecular structures of 5‐[3‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐ and 5‐[3‐(4‐chloro­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione

2,2‐Di­methyl‐5‐[3‐(4‐methyl­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐1,3‐di­ox­ane‐4,6‐dione, C₁₆H₁₆O₄, crystallizes in the triclinic space group , with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. These mol­ecules and a centrosymmetrically related pair, linked together by weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds, form a tetramer. 5‐[3‐(4‐Chloro­phenyl)‐2‐propenyl­idene]‐2,2‐di­methyl‐1,3‐dioxane‐4,6‐dione, C₁₅H₁₃ClO₄, also crystallizes in the triclinic space group , with one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. Centrosymmetrically related mol­ecules are linked together by weak C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form dimers which are further linked by yet another pair of centrosymmetrically related C—H?O hydrogen bonds to form a tube which runs parallel to the a axis.     

Three isomeric forms of hydroxyphenyl‐2‐oxazoline: 2‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, 2‐(3‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline and 2‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐oxazoline

Crystal structures are reported for three isomeric compounds, namely 2‐(2‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (I), 2‐(3‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (II), and 2‐(4‐hydroxy­phenyl)‐2‐oxazoline, (III), all C₉H₉NO₂ [systematic names: 2‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (I), 3‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (II), and 4‐(4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐2‐yl)phenol, (III)]. In these compounds, the deviation from coplanarity of the oxazoline and benzene rings is dependent on the position of the hydroxy group on the benzene ring. The coplanar arrangement in (I) is stabilized by a strong intra­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bond. Surprisingly, the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule B of (II) adopts a ³T₄ (^C2T_C3) conformation, while the 2‐oxazoline ring in mol­ecule A, as well as that in (I) and (III), is nearly planar, as expected. Tetra­mers of mol­ecules of (II) are formed and they are bound together via weak C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. In (III), strong inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of an infinite chain of mol­ecules perpendicular to the b direction. This paper also reports a theoretical investigation of hydrogen bonds, based on density functional theory (DFT) employing periodic boundary conditions.     

4‐[N,N‐Bis(2‐hydroxy­imino‐2‐phenyl­ethyl)­amino]‐1,5‐di­methyl‐2‐phenyl‐2,3‐di­hydro‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐one monohydrate

The title compound, C₂₇H₂₇N₅O₃·H₂O, is built up from pyrazolinone, phenyl and aceto­phenone oxime moieties. The 2‐­phenyl substituent is nearly perpendicular to the pyrazo­linone ring, with a dihedral angle of 87.66 (1)°. The aceto­phenone oxime moieties are twisted out of the pyrazolinone‐ring plane by 47.04 (1)°. The mol­ecules in the crystal pack in an antiparallel fashion and are held together by hydrogen‐bonded water mol­ecules and intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds.     

N‐Cyclo­hexyl‐2‐[5‐(4‐pyridyl)‐4‐(p‐tolyl)‐4H‐1,2,4‐triazol‐3‐yl­sulfanyl]­acetamide dihydrate

In the title compound, C₂₂H₂₅N₅OS·2H₂O, the mol­ecules are stacked in columns running along the b axis. In this arrangemant, the mol­ecules are linked to each other by a combination of one two‐centre N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and four two‐centre O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds containing two types of ring motif, viz.R₄⁴(10) and R₃³(11). In the crystal structure, centrosymmetric π–π inter­actions between the triazole rings, with a distance of 3.691 (2) Å between the ring centroids, also affect the packing of the mol­ecules.     

3‐Hydro­xy‐6‐[(4‐hydroxy­phenyl­amino)­methyl­ene]­cyclo­hexa‐2,4‐dienone and 2‐hydroxy‐6‐[(4‐hydroxy­phenyl­amino)­methyl­ene]­cyclo­hexa‐2,4‐dienone

The title compounds, both C₁₃H₁₁NO₃, exist as the keto–amine tautomers, and the formal hydroxyl H atoms, which display strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds, are located on the N atoms. This is a verification of the preference for the keto–amine tautomeric form in the solid state. The 2‐hydroxy isomer has two independent mol­ecules, with the mol­ecules linked by intramolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into three‐dimensional networks.     

Bis[N‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐β‐alaninato]copper(II)

The Cu^II ion in the title complex, [Cu(C₅H₁₀NO₃)₂] or [Cu(He‐ala)₂] [He‐ala = N‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐β‐alaninate], resides at the inversion centre of a square bipyramid comprised of two facially arranged tridentate He‐ala ligands. Each He‐ala ligand binds to a Cu^II ion by forming one six‐membered β‐alaninate chelate ring in a twist conformation and one five‐membered ethanol­amine ring in an envelope conformation, with Cu—N = 2.017 (2) Å, Cu—O_COO = 1.968 (1) Å and Cu—O_OH = 2.473 (2) Å. The [Cu(He‐ala)₂] mol­ecules are involved in a network of O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the (10) plane. The layers are connected into a three‐dimensional structure by van der Waals inter­actions, so that the mol­ecular centres form pseudo‐face‐centered close packing.     

(Z)‐1‐Ferrocenyl‐3‐(3‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one and (Z)‐1‐ferrocenyl‐3‐(4‐hydroxy­anilino)­but‐2‐en‐1‐one

The title compounds, both [Fe(C₅H₅)(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)], crystallize with Z′ = 2 in the centrosymmetric space group P. In each compound, there is an intra­molecular N—H⋯O=C hydrogen bond, and pairs of inter­molecular O—H⋯O=C hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into chains, parallel to [10] in the 3‐hydr­oxy compound and parallel to [10] in the 4‐hydr­oxy compound.     

Polymorphism and solvolysis of 2‐cyano‐3‐[4‐(N,N‐diethyl­amino)­phenyl]­prop‐2‐ene­thio­amide

Two new polymorph forms, (Ia) and (Ib), of the title compound, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S, and its solvate with aceto­nitrile, C₁₄H₁₇N₃S·0.25C₂H₃N, (Ic), have been investigated. Crystals of the two polymorphs were grown from different solvents, viz. ethanol and N,N‐di­methyl­form­amide, respectively. The polymorphs have different orientations of the thio­amide group relative to the CN substituent, with s‐cis and s‐trans geometry of the C=C—C=S diene fragment, respectively. Compound (Ic) contains two independent mol­ecules, A and B, with s‐cis geometry, and the solvate mol­ecule lies on a twofold axis. The core of each mol­ecule is slightly non‐planar; the dihedral angles between the conjugated C=C—CN linkage and the phenyl ring, and between this linkage and the thio­amide group are 13.4 (2) and 12.0 (2)° in (Ia), 14.0 (2) and 18.2 (2)° in (Ib), 2.3 (3) and 12.7 (4)° in molecule A of (Ic), and 23.2 (3) and 8.1 (4)° in molecule B of (Ic). As a result of strong conjugation between donor and acceptor parts, the substituted phenyl rings have noticeable quinoid character. In (Ib), there exists a very strong intramolecular steric interaction (H⋯H = 1.95 Å) between the bridging and thio­amide parts of the mol­ecule, which makes such a form less stable. In the crystal structure of (Ia), intermolecular N—H⋯N and N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite tapes along the [10] direction. In (Ib), such intermolecular hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into infinite (101) planes. In (Ic), intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules A and B into dimers, which are connected via N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds and form infinite chains along the c direction.     

2‐Pyridone–tartronic acid (1/1), 3‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate and 4‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate

Tartronic acid forms a hydrogen‐bonded complex, C₅H₅NO·C₃H₄O₅, (I), with 2‐pyridone, while it forms acid salts, namely 3‐hydroxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate, (II), and 4‐hy­droxy­pyridinium hydrogen tartronate, (III), both C₅H₆NO⁺·C₃H₃O₅⁻, with 3‐hydroxy­pyridine and 4‐hydroxy­pyridine, respectively. In (I), the pyridone mol­ecules and the acid mol­ecules form R(8) and R(10) hydrogen‐bonded rings, respectively, around the inversion centres. In (II) and (III), the cations and anions are linked by N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form a hydrogen‐bonded chain. In each of (I), (II) and (III), an intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed between a carboxyl group and the hydroxyl group attached to the central C atom, and in (I), the hydroxyl group participates in an intramolecular hydrogen bond with a carbonyl group. No intermolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the carboxyl groups in (I), or between the carboxyl and carboxyl­ate groups in (II) and (III).     

N,N′‐Bis(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide and N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide

The mol­ecules of N,N′‐bis­(2‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyl­dicarboxamide, [Fe(C₁₂H₁₁N₂O)₂], contain intra­molecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and are linked into sheets by three independent C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mol­ecules of the isomeric compound N,N′‐bis­(3‐pyridylmeth­yl)ferrocene‐1,1′‐diyldicarboxamide lie across inversion centres, and the mol­ecules are linked into sheets by a combination of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between pyridyl groups.     

4‐[(2‐Chloro­phenyl)­diazenyl]‐6‐methoxy‐2‐{[tris­(hydroxy­methyl)­methyl]­amino­methyl­ene}cyclo­hexa‐3,5‐dien‐1(2H)‐one

The structure of the title compound, C₁₈H₂₀ClN₃O₅, displays the characteristic features of azo­benzene derivatives. Intramolecular N—H⋯O, weak intramolecular C—H⋯O, and intermolecular O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O interactions influence the conformation of the mol­ecules and the crystal packing. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains, and the title compound adopts the keto–amine tautomeric form. The azo­benzene moiety of the mol­ecule has a trans configuration. The mol­ecule is not planar, and the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings is 35.6 (2)°.     

2‐Meth­oxy‐4‐[(5‐oxo‐2‐phenyl‐4,5‐dihydro‐1,3‐oxazol‐4‐yl­idene)meth­yl]­phenyl 4‐methyl­benzene­sulfonate

Mol­ecules of the title compound, C₂₄H₁₉NO₆S, adopt the Z configuration and have a distorted tetra­hedral geometry around the S atom. The oxazolone, 2‐phenyl and methoxy­phenyl rings are approximately coplanar. The C atom between the methoxy­phenyl and oxazolone rings displays a distorted trigonal bonding geometry. Pairs of mol­ecules are linked into dimers through weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
