Three diaryl oxalate derivatives, bis(4-chlorophenyl)oxalate, bis(2, 6-dichlorophenyl)oxalate and bis(2, 4, 6-trichlorophenyl)oxalate, have been synthesized and characterized via X-ray single crystal diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectra, for the purpose of studying the influence of chlorine substitution on the crystal structures of diaryl oxalate. This work has demonstrated that, depending on the position and number, chlorine substitution will influence the molecular geometries and stacking modes of diaryl oxalate by tuning the types and numbers of intermolecular interactions.

The quantitative visualizations and comparisons between the four pyrazinamide (PZA) polymorphs (α, β, γ and δ) have been investigated by graphical tools based on three-dimensional Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The comparisons were performed in terms of crystal structure, d, Shape index, Curvedness and d surfaces, and fingerprint plots. The results revealed that the α and γ forms featured with 1D chains and the π···π stacking motifs belong to γ-motif, rich in π···π interactions and form infinite face-to-face stacks, β and δ forms featured with dimer unit and the π···π stacking motifs belong to γ- and herringbone-motif, respectively, the herringbone motif of δ form rich in C-H···π and edge-to-face interactions. We also correlated the phase transformation points of α, β, and δ PZA forms with the ratio of the percentage surface coverage of the N-H···O hydrogen bonds over that of the N-H···N hydrogen bonds, and found a negative correlation.

Crystal structural investigations and Hirshfeld surface analysis of three methoxy- and methyl-substituted indole-3-acetonitriles (IAN) (4-OCH-IAN, 5-OCH-IAN and 7-CH-IAN) are reported in this work. Their structures were characterized by infrared spectra, elemental analyses, NMR spectra, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analyses, and hot stage microscopy. The Hirshfeld surface analysis in terms of intermolecular interactions and π···π stacking motifs of the three substituted IANs was investigated in detail, and the results revealed that the different kinds of substituent groups as well as different substituted positions have a significant effect on the crystal structures, molecular π···π stacking motifs, melting points, and the types of intermolecular interactions.

The compound {[Zn(μ-dicyanamide)(pyrazinamide)](pyrazinamide)} has been synthesized and further characterized by elemental analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. Structural analysis revealed that the dicyanamide anion acted as bridging ligand in a μ-1,5 mode, resulting a polymeric 1-D chain structure. The pairwise N3-H3B···N1 and N9-H9B···N7, N3-H3A···O2 and N9-H9A···O1, N3-H3B···N7 and N9-H9B···N1 multiple hydrogen bonding interactions, impart enhanced stability to supramolecular structures. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were applied to arrive at the same conclusion, which is stabilised mainly by H-H, N-H, O-H interactions. DNA binding studies showed that the compound had interacted with DNA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We here reported a series of co-crystal structure of pyrazinamide (PZA) with m-hydroxybenzoic acid (MHBA), p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHBA) and 3,4-dihydroxy benzolic acid (3,4-DHBA) and obtained three co-crystals (co-crystal 1- 3, respectively) under the same conditions. These crystal structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, IR spectra, thermogravimetric analyses, differential scanning calorimetry, and Raman spectrum analysis. The images of single crystal diffraction revealed that 1 was a 1:1 (PZA:MHBA) co-crystal, 2 was a 1:1 (PZA:PHBA) co-crystal, and 3 was a 1:1 (PZA:3,4-DHBA). The strong O-H···O, N-H···O hydrogen bonding interactions between PZA and hydroxyl-substituted benzoic acid primarily made the structure of co-crystals stabilized. Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots of the three co-crystals showed that the structures were stabilized by H···H, O-H···O, N-H···O C-H···π, and π···π intermolecular interactions.

The co-crystallization of a benzimidazole derivative ( 1, CHNO, 3-[[[2-[[(4-Cyanophenyl) amino]methyl]-1-methyl-1H-benzimidazol-5-yl]carbonyl]pyridin-2-ylamino]propionic acid ethyl ester), with fumaric acid (FA) and maleic acid (MA), has been performed. The FA and MA molecules, both are connected with two molecules of CHNO, giving birth to a three-components compound ( 1·0.5FA, CHNO) and a four-components compound ( 1·MA, CHNO). Single-crystal X-ray diffractions show that the three different planar moieties (4-cyanophenyl, benzimidazol, and pyridin-2-yl) in compound CHNO display ' cis-form' conformation ( a) in the crystal of 1, while exhibiting 'intermediate-state' conformation ( b) and ' trans-form' conformation ( c) in compounds 1·0.5FA and 1·MA, respectively. Hirshfeld surfaces analysis, DFT calculations, DSC measurements, IR and Raman spectroscopy were performed, which revealed that the thermal stability of the three conformations follows the order c > b > a.

Single crystals of compound L (CHN): 4-(2-benzimidazole)-1,2,4-triazole and its hydrate were obtained via slow evaporation. The structures of the crystals were characterized by IR, TGA/DSC and X-ray diffraction analysis. Molecules in crystal 1 are linked by a combination of N-H···N and C-H···N hydrogen bonds into 2D layers, and further stacked into a 3D structure by π··· π stacking interactions. Compared to crystal 1, the water molecules play a key role in the construction of the crystal structure of hydrate 2. The 2D layers were formed via O-H···N, O-H···O, N-H···N hydrogen bonds, and further stacked by O-H···O hydrogen bonds and π··· π stacking interactions in crystal 2. A detailed analysis of the intermolecular interactions and crystal packing via Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveals that the structures are stabilized mainly by N···H/H···N, C···H/H···C hydrogen bonds, H···H weak interactions and π··· π stacking interactions.

2,3-Dimethylpyrazine and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane are both N-containing aromatic heterocyclics with two N atoms approximately in the para position. We here report two compounds derived from these heterocyclics (compounds 1 and 2). Compounds 1 and 2 both form a 1:1 2,3-dimethylpyrazine:perchloric acid (PA) and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane:PA cocrystal, respectively. Their crystal structures were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, which revealed that the C-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding interactions were found to stabilize the crystal structure in compounds 1 and 2. However, PA plays a necessary role for the one-dimensional structure in 1 and the three-dimensional structure in 2. Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots were applied to get the same conclusion.
