In the title 1:1 co-crystal, [Cu(C24H24N8O6)]·C11H11N3O4, each of the crystal components forms undulating layers which stack alternately along the b-axis direction. Molecules of the CuII complex are connected via C—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the nitro and keto oxygen atoms, thus forming supramolecular networks. Molecules of the arylhydrazone component are linked by C—H...O interactions into zigzag strands showing no interstrand association.

The diphenylethyne unit of the title molecule, C24H24N2O6, deviates slightly from planarity. The l-alanine moieties adopt distorted helical conformations of opposite winding direction.

These aggregates are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds involving the oxygen atoms of the methyl carboxylate units. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

In dimethyl 5-iodoisophthalate, C10H9IO4, (I), the planes through the methyl carboxylate moieties are tilted with respect to the benzene ring, whereas the molecular framework of dimethyl 5-ethynylisophthalate, C12H10O4, (II), is perfectly planar. The crystal structure of (I) is stabilized by a three-dimensional supramolecular network comprising C—H...O=C hydrogen bonds, as well as I...O=C interactions.

The crystal structure of (I) is constructed of infinite strands, along [101], of C—H...O=C hydrogen-bonded molecules, which in turn are linked by C—H...π interactions. In the crystal of (II), which crystallized with three independent molecules per asymmetric unit, the non-polar parts of the molecules form hydrophobic layered domains, parallel to (10-1), which are separated by the polar groups. While the 2-acetylphenol part of the molecules are involved in O—H...O=C hydrogen bonding, the ternary OH groups creates a cyclic pattern of O—H...O hydrogen bonds.

In the title solvate, C44H26Cl4O2·3C6H15N, the asymmetric part of the unit cell comprises two halves of the diol molecules, 2,2′′-bis(2,7-dichloro-9-hydroxy-9H-fluoren-9-yl)-1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl, and three molecules of triethylamine, i. e. the diol molecules are located on crystallographic symmetry centres. Two of the solvent molecules are disordered over two positions [occupancy ratios of 0.567 (3):0.433 (3) and 0.503 (3):0.497 (3)]. In the diol molecules, the outer rings of the 1,1′:4′,1′′-terphenyl elements are twisted with reference to their central arene ring and the mean planes of the fluorenyl moieties are inclined with respect to the terphenyl ring to which they are connected, the latter making dihedral angles of 82.05 (8) and 82.28 (8)°. The presence of two 9-fluoren-9-ol units attached at positions 2 and 2′′ of the terphenyl moiety induces a `folded' geometry which is stabilized by intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, the latter formed between the fluorenyl units and the central ring of the terphenyl unit [centroid–centroid distances = 3.559 (1) and 3.562 (1) Å]. The crystal is composed of 1:2 complex units, in which the solvent molecules are associated with the diol molecules via O—H...N hydrogen bonds, while the remaining solvent molecule is linked to the host by a C—H...N hydrogen bond. The given pattern of intermolecular interactions results in formation of chain structures extending along [010].

Lithiation and subsequent reaction with CO2 was applied to calix[4]arenes with different, equal or mixed, ether functions at the lower-rim site as well as tert-butylated or non-tert-butylated upper-rim positions. Whereas this reaction fails for symmetric calix[4]arene ethers with alkoxy residues greater than methoxy, the carboxylation of mixed methoxy-propoxy calixarene ethers is possible. In connection with this, several new monobridge-substituted calix[4]arenes were characterized with respect to their conformational behaviour in solution and the X-ray crystal structure of one key intermediate is taken into consideration.

The title compound, C20H19IS, features a 1,3-disubstituted azulene involving an ethynylene elongated 4-(tert-butylsulfanyl)phenyl sidearm and an iodine atom as the substituents. The azulene ring system is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å) and subtends a dihedral angle of 35.7 (1)° with the benzene ring. As a result of the inherent dipole character of the azulene core, a supramolecular π–π dimer [separation between the centroids of the five- and seven-membered rings = 3.7632 (10) Å] with antiparallel orientated molecules can be observed in the crystal. The packing is consolidated by an unusual I...π(acetylene) contact [I...Cg = 3.34 Å, C—I...Cg = 173.3°], and a very weak C—H...π interaction is also found in the structure, with the azulene five-membered ring as the acceptor.

The two phenyl rings are rotated with respect to each other by 40.6 (6)°. The molecules interact via aryl–perfluoroaryl stacking [3.796 (2) and 3.773 (2) Å], resulting in intermolecular chains along the a-axis direction. C—H...F contacts of about 2.45 Å connect these chains. In contrast to the structure of the parent compound 4′-bromobiphenyl-4-carbonitrile, CN...Br contacts that could have given rise to a linear arrangement of the biphenyl molecules desirable for non-linear optical (NLO) materials are not observed in the packing. Instead, several Br...F [3.2405 (17) and 3.2777 (18) Å] and F...F [2.894 (2) Å] contacts of side-on type II form an intermolecular network of zigzag chains. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.

The crystal packing is dominated by infinite aromatic stacks in the a-axis direction. These are formed by the benzene units of the molecule featuring an alternating arrangement, which explains the two different distances of 3.3860 (4) and 3.4907 (4) Å for the aromatic units (these are the perpendicular distances of the centroid of one aromatic ring on the mean plane of the other other aromatic ring). Adjacent stacks are connected by π–π stacking between two pyridinium units [3.5949 (4) Å] and weak C—H...O interactions.
