Infrared spectroscopy analysis confirms the presence of a peak at 2344 cm− 1 which is assigned to N = C stretching vibrations while those at 1670 and 1622 cm− 1 respectively correspond to the C = C asymmetric stretching vibrations. The in-silico investigation of the anti-fibrotic potential of the title compound was carried out molecular docking with the 4FUX and 4FV3 receptors alongside PIRF which is a standard show that the title compound performed better in terms of H-bond interaction as well as binding affinity. Furthermore, the presence of 3 conventional H-bond interactions in the 4FUX-Complex interaction compared to 1 for the 4FV3-PIRF makes it very obvious that the bioactivity of this complex for fibrosis is greater than that of PIRF within the limits of available data as contained in this study.

In the title mol­ecular salt, (C5H8N3)2[CoCl4], the cations are protonated at their pyridine N atoms and the anion is an almost regular tetra­hedron. The crystal structure consists of alternating inorganic layers, built from tetra­chlorido­cobaltate anions, and organic layers formed by protonated cations of 2,6-di­amino­pyridinium.

Single crystals of a new organic cyclohexaphosphate (C 8 H 12 N) 4 (Li) 2 (P 6 O 18 )(H 2 O) 6 prepared by an acid/base reaction between cyclohexaphosphoric acid H 6 P 6 O 18 and 2,6-dimethylaniline, have been successfully grown by slow evaporation technique at room temperature. This compound was characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and FT-IR spectroscopy. The results show that the title compound was phased with a triclinic structure and P-1 space group. The crystal structure was solved by using 5203 independent reflections with a final R value of 0.031. The P 6 O 18 ring is centrosymmetrical. Its main geometrical features are those commonly observed in others cyclohexaphosphates. The atomic arrangement of this compound can be described by an organization in a three-dimensional framework, built up from alternated organic and inorganic species. Adjacent P 6 O 18 rings are linked via corner-sharing by LiO 4 tetrahedra, generating anionic [Li 2 (P 6 O 18 )(H 2 O)] 4- layers parallel to (110). Charge balance is achieved by the protonated amine which is trapped in the interlayer space and interacts with the organic framework through strong and medium hydrogen bonding.

Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surfaces. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared spectroscopy.

The synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic characterization of a new chlorocadmate template by the 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine ligand are reported. In the atomic arrangement, the CdCl 5 O entities are deployed in corrugated rows along the a -axis at y = 1/4 and y = 3/4 to form layers parallel to the ( a,b ) plane. In these crystals, piperazinediium cations are in a chair conformation and are inserted between these layers through N H⋯Cl, C H⋯Cl, O H⋯Cl and N H⋯O hydrogen bonds to form infinite three-dimensional network. Investigation of intermolecular interactions and crystal packing via Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that H⋯Cl and C H⋯H C intermolecular interactions are the most abundant contacts of the organic cation in the crystal packing. The crystal contacts enrichments reveals that, the Cd ++ … Cl − salt bridges, the Cd⋯O complexation and O H⋯Cl- and N H⋯Cl-strong H-bonds are the driving forces in the packing formation. The presence of twelve independent chloride anions and four organic cation in the asymmetric unit allowed comparing their contact propensities.

Intermolecular interactions have proved to play an important role in properties of SMMs such as quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM), and they also reduce the rate of magnetic relaxation, as through the influence they have on QTM, they quicken the reverse of magnetization. In addition, they are considered as the generative cause of the exchange-biased phenomenon. Using the Hirshfeld analysis tools, all the intermolecular interactions of a molecule and its neighbors are revealed, and this leads to a systematic study of the observed interactions, which could probably be helpful in other studies, such as theoretical calculations. In addition, they could be helpful to design new systems because intermolecular interactions in SMMs have been proposed as a probable tool to monitor their properties. The observation of characteristic patterns on the Hirshfeld Surfaces (HS) decorated with different properties makes easier the recognition of possible structural pathways for the different types of interactions of a molecule with its surrounding.

Two new complexes, [Cu(dimpyr)2(H2O)2](NO3)2.2H2O (1) and (Hamdimpy)2[CoCl4].H2O (2), with the monodentate ligand 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-(1H)-one (dimpyr) and the countercation 4-amino-2,6-dimetylpyrimidium (Hamdimpy), respectively, were prepared and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. In (1), the Cu(II) cation is tetracoordinated, in a square plan fashion, by two nitrogen atoms from the pyrimidine ring of the organic ligand and two oxygen atoms of two coordinated water molecules. In the atomic arrangement, the CuO2N2 square planes are interconnected via the formation of O-H...O hydrogen bonds involving both coordinated and free water molecules and NO3− nitrate anions to form inorganic layers parallel to the (a, b) plane at z = (2n + 1)/4. In (2), the central atom Co(II) is four-coordinated in a distorted tetrahedral fashion by four Cl− ions. The [CoCl4]2− tetrahedra are arranged parallel to the plane ( 1 ¯ 10) at x = (2n + 1)/2 and the organic cations are grafted between them by establishing with them hydrogen bonds of CH...Cl and NH...Cl types. The vibrational absorption bands were identified by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. Intermolecular interactions were investigated via Hirshfeld surfaces and electronic properties such as HOMO and LUMO energies were derived. The two compounds were characterized by thermal analysis to determine their thermal behavior with respect to temperature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The chemical preparation, crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and spectroscopic characterization of the novel cadmium (II) 2,5-dichloro-p-phenylendiaminium decachlorotricadmate(II) hexahydrate complex, (C6H8Cl2N2)2[Cd3Cl10]·6H2O, has been reported. The atomic arrangement can be described as built up by an anionic framework, formed by edge-sharing [CdCl6]2− octahedra in linear polymeric chains spreading along the a-axis, while the organic cations surround these latters. The inspection of the Hirshfeld surface analysis helps to discuss the strength of hydrogen bonds and to quantify the inter-contacts, which reveal that H...Cl/Cl...H (38.9%), H...H (13.9%), and Cd...Cl/Cl...Cd (12.4%) are the main interactions that govern the crystal packing of the studied structure. SEM/EDXwas carried out and the powder XRD confirmed the good crystallinity of the material. FT-IR and the DFT calculation reveal the good correlation between the experimental and the theoretical wavenumbers. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap was used to predict the electric conductivity of the compound. Finally, the thermal TGA/DTA analysis shows stability until 380 K. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
