Crystal water as the mol-ecular glue for obtaining different co-crystal ratios: the case of gallic acid tris-caffeine hexa-hydrate.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the hexa-hydrate co-crystal of gallic acid and caffeine, C7H6O5·3C8H10N4O2·6H2O or GAL3CAF·6H2O, is a remarkable example of the importance of hydrate water acting as structural glue to facilitate the crystallization of two components of different stoichiometries and thus to compensate an imbalance of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. The water mol-ecules provide the additional hydrogen bonds required to form a crystalline solid. Whereas the majority of hydrogen bonds forming the inter-molecular network between gallic acid and caffeine are formed by crystal water, only one direct classical hydrogen bond between two mol-ecules is formed between the carb-oxy-lic oxygen of gallic acid and the carbonyl oxygen of caffeine with d(D?A) = 2.672?(2)?Å. All other hydrogen bonds either involve crystal water or utilize protonated carbon atoms as donors.

Crystal and mol-ecular structure of aflatrem.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, C32H39NO4, confirms the absolute configuration of the seven chiral centres in the mol-ecule. The molecule has a 1,1-dimethylprop-2-enyl substituent on the indole nucleus and this nucleus shares one edge with the five-membered ring which is, in turn, connected to a sequence of three edge-shared fused rings. The skeleton is completed by the 7,7-trimethyl-6,8-dioxabi-cyclo-[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one group connected to the terminal cyclohexene ring. The two cyclohexane rings adopt chair and half-chair conformations, while in the dioxabi-cyclo-[3.2.1]oct-3-en-2-one unit, the six-membered ring has a half-chair conformation. The indole system of the mol-ecule exhibits a tilt of 2.02?(1)° between its two rings. In the crystal, O-H?O hydrogen bonds connect mol-ecules into chains along [010]. Weak N-H?? inter-actions connect these chains, forming sheets parallel to (10-1).

Fluorenonophane chloro-benzene solvate: mol-ecular and crystal structures.

Project description:The title compound, 19 H,79 H-3,5,9,11-tetra-oxa-1,7(2,7)-difluorena-4,10(1,3)-dibenzena-cyclo-dodeca-phane-19,79-dione (fluorenonophane), exists as a solvate with chloro-benzene, C42H28O6·C6H5Cl. The fluorenonophane contains two fluorenone fragments linked by two m-substituted benzene fragments. Some decrease in its macrocyclic cavity leads to a stacking inter-action between the tricyclic fluorenone fragments. In the crystal, the fluorenonophane and chloro-benzene mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. The Cl atom of chloro-benzene does not form a halogen bond. A Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to analyse the inter-molecular contacts found in the crystal structure.

Mol-ecular and crystal structure of gossypol tetra-methyl ether with an unknown solvate.

Project description:The title compound, C34H38O8 (systematic name: 5,5'-diisopropyl-2,2',3,3'-tetra-meth-oxy-7,7'-dimethyl-2H,2'H-8,8'-bi-[naphtho-[1,8-bc]furan]-4,4'-diol), has been obtained from a gossypol solution in a mixture of dimethyl sulfate and methanol. The mol-ecule is situated on a twofold rotation axis, so the asymmetric unit contains one half-mol-ecule. In the mol-ecule, the hy-droxy groups are involved in intra-molecular O-H?O hydrogen bonds, and the two naphthyl fragments are inclined each to other by 83.8?(1)°. In the crystal, weak C-H?O and C-H?? inter-actions consolidate the packing, which exhibits channels with an approximate diameter of 6?Å extending along the c-axis direction. These channels are filled with highly disordered solvent mol-ecules, so their estimated scattering contribution was subtracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE option in PLATON [Spek, A. L. (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18].

Different mol-ecular conformations in the crystal structures of three 5-nitro-imidazolyl derivatives.

Project description:The crystal structures of (E)-1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde O-benzyl-oxime, C12H12N4O3, (I), (E)-1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carb-alde-hyde O-(4-fluoro-benz-yl) oxime, C12H11FN4O3, (II), and (E)-1-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazole-2-carbaldehyde O-(4-bromo-benz-yl) oxime, C12H11BrN4O3, (III), are described. The dihedral angle between the ring systems in (I) is 49.66?(5)° and the linking Nm-C-C=N (m = methyl-ated) bond shows an anti conformation [torsion angle = 175.00?(15)°]. Compounds (II) and (III) are isostructural [dihedral angle between the aromatic rings = 8.31?(5)° in (II) and 5.34?(15)° in (III)] and differ from (I) in showing a near-syn conformation for the Nm-C-C=N linker [torsion angles for (II) and (III) = 17.64?(18) and 8.7?(5)°, respectively], which allows for the occurrence of a short intra-molecular C-H?N contact. In the crystal of (I), C-H?N hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into [010] chains, which are cross-linked by very weak C-H?O bonds into (100) sheets. Weak aromatic ?-? stacking inter-actions occur between the sheets. The extended structures of (II) and (III) feature several C-H?N and C-H?O hydrogen bonds, which link the mol-ecules into three-dimensional networks, which are consolidated by aromatic ?-? stacking inter-actions. Conformational energy calculations and Hirshfeld fingerprint analyses for (I), (II) and (III) are presented and discussed.

Crystal and mol-ecular structures of two silver(I) amidinates, including an unexpected co-crystal with a lithium amidinate.

Project description:The silver(I) amidinates bis-[?-N1,N2-bis-(propan-2-yl)benzamidinato-?2N1:N2]disilver(I), [Ag2(C13H19N2)2] or [Ag{PhC(N i Pr)2}]2 (1), and bis-(?-N1,N2-di-cyclohexyl-3-cyclo-propyl-propynamidinato-?2N1:N2)disilver(I), [Ag2(C18H27N2)2] or [Ag{cyclo-C3H5-C?C-C(NCy)2}]2 (2a), exist as centrosymmetric dimers with a planar Ag2N4C2 ring and a common linear coordination of the metal atoms in the crystalline state. Moiety 2a forms a co-crystal with the related lithium amidinate, namely bis-(?-N1,N2-di-cyclo-hexyl-3-cyclo-propyl-propynamidinato-?2N1:N2)disilver(I) bis-(?-N1,N2-di-cyclo-hexyl-3-cyclo-propyl-propynamidinato-?3N1,N2:N1)bis-(tetra-hydro-furan-?O)lithium(I) toluene monosolvate, [Ag2(C18H27N2)2][Li2(C18H27N2)2(C4H8O)2]·C7H8 or [Ag{cyclo-C3H5-C?C-C(NCy)2}]2[Li{cyclo-C3H5-C?C-C(NCy)2}(THF)]2·C7H8, composed as 2a × 2b × toluene. The lithium moiety 2b features a typical ladder-type dimeric structure with a distorted tetra-hedral coordination of the metal atoms. In the silver(I) derivatives 1 and 2a, the amidinate ligand adopts a ?-?N:?N' coordination, while it is a ?-?N:?N:?N'-coordination in the case of lithium derivative 2b.

Calixarene-based mol-ecular capsule from olefin metathesis.

Project description:The reaction of tetra-kis-(all-yloxy)calix[4]arene with the first-generation Grubbs catalyst, followed by catalytic hydrogenation, gave the novel bis-calixarene 15,20,46,51,64,69,74,79-octa-oxatridecacyclo[32.28.8.8(3,28).1(13,53).1(22,44).0(9,14).0(21,26).0(38,70).0(40,45).0(52,57).0(59,63).0(7,80).0(32,73)]octa-conta-1(63),3,5,7(80),9(14),10,12,21,23,25,28(73),29,31,34,36,38(70),40,42,44,52,54,56,59,61-tetra-cosa-ene benzene monosolvate, C72H72O8·C6H6. The structure consists of two calix[4]arene units connected by four-carbon chains at each of the four O atoms on their narrow rims, to form a cage. Each of the calix[4]arene units has a flattened cone conformation in which two of the opposite aryl groups are closer together and nearly parallel [dihedral angle between planes = 7.35?(16)°], and the other two aryl groups are splayed outward [dihedral angle between planes = 72.20?(8)°]. While the cavity contains no solvent or other guest mol-ecule, there is benzene solvent mol-ecule in the lattice. Two of the alkyl linking arms were disordered over two conformations with occupancies of 0.582?(3)/0.418?(3) and 0.33?(4)/0.467?(4). They were constrained to have similar metrical and thermal parameters.

Crystal structure of a new mol-ecular salt: 4-amino-benzenaminium 5-carb-oxy-penta-noate.

Project description:The asymmetric unit of the title mol-ecular salt (systematic name: 4-amino-anilinium 5-carb-oxy-penta-noate), C6H9N2+·C6H9O4-, consists of half a 4-amino-benzenaminium cation (4-ABA) and half a 5-carb-oxy-penta-noate anion (5-CP); the other half of each ion is generated by inversion symmetry. Protonation of p-phenyl-enedi-amine (PPDA) leads to the formation of a 1:1 salt, but scrutiny of the crystal structure reveals that both of the amine groups of PPDA are partially protonated, with a half-occupied H atom. For the 5-CP anion, an H atom is positioned on an inversion center midway between two O atoms of inversion-related 5-CP ions. In the crystal, the 5-CP anions are linked by the O-H?O hydrogen bond to form chains propagating along the [1-10] direction. The chains are linked via N-H?O and N-H?N hydrogen bonds involving the 4-ABA cations, forming a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework. The title salt was also prepared by mechanochemical synthesis using liquid-assisted grinding (LAG). Its PXRD pattern matches that of the simulated pattern of the crystal structure of the title mol-ecular salt.

Crystal structure and mol-ecular Hirshfeld surface analysis of acenaphthene derivatives obeying the chlorine-methyl exchange rule.

Project description:Instances of crystal structures that remain isomorphous in spite of some minor changes in their respective mol-ecules, such as change in a substituent atom/group, can provide insights into the factors that govern crystal packing. In this context, an accurate description of the crystal structures of an isomorphous pair that differ from each other only by a chlorine-methyl substituent, viz. 5''-(2-chloro-benzyl-idene)-4'-(2-chloro-phen-yl)-1'-methyl-dispiro-[acenaphthene-1,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3''-piperidine]-2,4''-dione, C34H28Cl2N2O2, (I), and its analogue 1'-methyl-5''-(2-methyl-benzyl-idene)-4'-(2-methyl-phen-yl)di-spiro-[acenaphthene-1,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3''-piperidine]-2,4''-dione, C36H34N2O2, (II), is presented. While there are two C-H⋯O weak inter-molecular inter-actions present in both (I) and (II), the change of substituent from chlorine to methyl has given rise to an additional weak C-H⋯O inter-molecular inter-action that is relatively stronger than the other two. However, the presence of the stronger C-H⋯O inter-action in (II) has not disrupted the validity of the chloro-methyl exchange rule. Details of the crystal structures and Hirshfeld analyses of the two compounds are presented.

Tris[tri-phenyl-anti-mony(V)]hexa(μ-oxido)-tellurium(VI): a mol-ecular complex with six Te-O-Sb bridges.

Project description:In the structure of the title compound [systematic name hexa-μ-oxido-1:2κ4 O:O;1:3κ4 O:O;1:4κ4 O:O-nona-phenyl-2κ3 C,3κ3 C,4κ3 C-tri-anti-mony(V)tel-lur-ium(VI)], [Sb3Te(C6H5)9O6], the hexa-oxidotellurate(VI) ion is coordinated to three SbV ions via pairs of cis-positioned O atoms to form a discrete mol-ecular unit. The TeVI and SbV central ions exhibit distorted octa-hedral [TeO6] and distorted trigonal-bipyramidal [SbC3O2] coordination geometries, respectively. The linking of these polyhedra, by sharing the dioxide edges, results in the Te-based octa-hedron having a mer-configuration. The packing of the mol-ecules is dominated by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding and weak dispersion forces, with a minor contribution from C-H⋯π bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions. According to the Hirshfeld surface analysis, the contributions of the H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H and H⋯O/O⋯H contacts are 58.0, 32.6 and 7.8%, respectively. The title structure provides a model for the bonding of triorgano-anti-mony dications to octa-hedral oxoanions, and the observed doubly bridged motifs, Te(μ-O)2Sb, may find application in the functionalization of polyoxometalate species.

Crystal structure of (2R)-1-[(methyl-sulfon-yl)-oxy]propan-2-aminium chloride: a chiral mol-ecular salt.

Project description:In the title chiral mol-ecular salt, C4H12NO3S(+)·Cl(-), the cation is protonated at the N atom, producing [RNH3](+), where R is CH3SO2OCH2C(H)CH3. The N atom in the cation is sp (3)-hybridized. In the crystal, cations and anions are connected by strong N-H?Cl hydrogen bonds to generate edge-shared 12-membered rings of the form {?Cl?HNH}3. This pattern of hydrogen bonding gives rise to zigzag supra-molecular layers in the ab plane. The layers are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by C-H?O hydrogen bonds. The structure was refined as an inversion twin.
