The title compound, C6H15N2O+·C6H2N3O7-·H2O, was synthesized via slow evaporation of an aqueous solution of picric acid with the substituted morpholine base and crystallized with one cation (C6H15N2O)+, one anion (C6H2N3O7)- and a water molecule in the asymmetric unit. The morpholine ring in the cation adopts a chair conformation. The structure is stabilized by C--H...O, O--H...O, O--H...N and N--H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions and π-π stacking. The intermolecular interactions of the synthesized compound were quantified by Hirshfeld surface analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A novel organic–inorganic hybrid compound, named (1-phenylpiperazinium) trihydrogen triphosphate, with the formula (C10H15N2)2H3P3O10 has been obtained by low speed of evaporation of a mixture of an alcoholic solution of 1-phenylpiperazine and triphosphoric acid H5P3O10 at room temperature after using the ion exchange chemical procedure. To carry out a detailed crystallographic structure analysis, single-crystal X-ray diffraction has been reported. In the molecular arrangement, the different entities are held together through N–H...O, O–H...O, and C-H...O hydrogen bonds, building up a three-dimensional packing. Powder X-ray diffraction analysis is acquired to confirm the purity of the product. The nature and the proportion of intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surface analysis. In order to support the experimental results, a density functional theory (DFT) calculation was performed, using the Becke-3-parameter-Lee–Yang–Parr (B3LYP) function with LANL2DZ basis set, and the data indicate much agreement between the experimental and the theoretical results. Thus, the physicochemical properties were studied employing a variety of techniques (FTIR, NMR, UV–visible, and photoluminescence). To get an insight of the possible employment of the present material in biology, cell viability assays were performed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new 0D organic--inorganic hybrid material bis[1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1Himidazol- 3-ium] hexachloridostannate(IV), (C6H9N2)2[SnCl6], has been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis and UV--visible spectroscopy. The structure consists of isolated [SnCl6]2 octahedral anions separated by layers of organic 1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)- 1H-imidazol-3-ium cations. The 1-(prop-2-en-1-yl) fragment in the organic cation exhibits disorder over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.512 (9) and 0.488 (9). The crystal packing of the title compound is established by intermolecular N/C--H Cl hydrogen bond and п-п stacking interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis employing three-dimensional molecular surface contours and two-dimensional fingerprint plots has been used to analyse the intermolecular interactions present in the structure. The optical properties of the crystal were studied using UV--visible absorption spectroscopy, showing one intense band at 208 nm, which is attributed to п-п transitions in the cations.

The nature of the intermolecular interactions has been analysed in terms of the Hirshfeld surfaces of the cations and the anions. The thermal behaviour and the Raman spectrum of the title compound are reported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Charge-assisted hydrogen bonding plays a significant role in the crystal structures of solvates of ionic com­pounds, especially when the cation or cations are primary ammonium salts. We report the crystal structures of four ammonium salts of molybdenum halide cluster solvates where we observe significant hydrogen bonding between the solvent molecules and cations. The crystal structures of bis(anilinium) octa-μ3-chlorido-hexa­chlorido-octa­hedro-hexa­molybdate N,N-di­­methyl­formamide tetra­solvate, (C6H8N)2[Mo6Cl8Cl6]·4C3H7NO, (I), p-phenyl­enedi­ammonium octa-μ3-chlorido-hexa­chlorido-octa­hedro-hexa­mol­yb­date N,N-di­methyl­formamide hexa­solvate, (C6H10N2)[Mo6Cl8Cl6]·6C3H7NO, (II), N,N′-(1,4-phenyl­ene)bis­(propan-2-iminium) octa-μ3-chlorido-hexa­chlo­rido-octa­hedro-hexa­molybdate acetone tris­olvate, (C12H18N2)[Mo6Cl8Cl6]·3C3H6O, (III), and 1,1′-dimethyl-4,4′-bipyridinium octa-μ3-chlo­rido-hexa­chlorido-octa­hedro-hexa­molybdate N,N-di­methyl­formamide tetra­solvate, (C12H14N2)[Mo6Cl8Cl6]·4C3H7NO, (IV), are reported and described. In (I), the anilinium cations and N,N-di­methyl­formamide (DMF) solvent mol­ecules form a cyclic R4²(8) hydrogen-bonded motif centered on a crystallographic inversion center with an additional DMF mol­ecule forming a D(2) inter­action. The p-phenyl­enedi­ammonium cation in (II) forms three D(2) inter­actions between the three N—H bonds and three independent N,N-di­methyl­formamide mol­ecules. The dication in (III) is a protonated Schiff base solvated by acetone mol­ecules. Compound (IV) contains a methyl viologen dication with N,N-di­methyl­formamide mol­ecules forming close contacts with both aromatic and methyl H atoms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the title compound, C18H12O3S2, synthesized by the Claisen-Schmidt condensation method, the essentially planar chalcone unit adopts an s-cis configuration with respect to the carbonyl group within the ethyl­enic bridge. In the crystal, weak C--H...π inter­actions connect the mol­ecules into zigzag chains along the b-axis direction. The mol­ecular structure was optimized geometrically using Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis set level and compared with the experimental values. Mol­ecular orbital calculations providing electron-density plots of HOMO and LUMO mol­ecular orbitals and mol­ecular electrostatic potentials (MEP) were also computed both with the DFT/B3LYP/6-311 G++(d,p) basis set. The experimental energy gap is 3.18 eV, whereas the theoretical HOMO-LUMO energy gap value is 2.73 eV. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to further investigate the weak inter­actions present.

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. The crystal packing is governed by C/N—HCl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the organic and the inorganic ions and ClCl inter­actions. Moreover, the cations show a π–π stacking inter­action [inter­centroid distance = 3.763 (2) Å]. The prevalence of these inter­actions is illustrated by an analysis of the three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface and by two-dimensional fingerprint plots. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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]
