In the present work, we report the experimental and computational investigations of 3-Hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde (3H4NB) were examined. Comparing observed and simulated vibrational spectra allowed for the identification of characteristic frequencies and the attribution of band names. For the density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the LSDA functional with 6-311 + G(d,p) degree of approximation was used. Furthermore, the same level of theory was used to calculate molecular orbitals such as natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap. The condensed Fukui function and the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface were used to determine the relative electrophilicity and nucleophilicity of the current molecule. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions are studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots. Molecular docking analysis was used to investigate the compound's biological activities. The hydrogen bond active binding residues and binding energy of a chosen chemical with carcinogenic activity targets were examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The new compound 4-hydroxy-1-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulfonyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxyllic acid was obtained by the reaction of 4-hydroxyproline with 4-nitrobenzenesulfonyl chloride. The compound was characterized using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Spectroscopic methods including NMR, FTIR, ES-MS, and UV were employed for further structural analysis of the synthesized compound. The title compound was found to have crystallized in an orthorhombic crystal system with space group P212121. The S1-N1 bond length of 1.628 (2) Å was a strong indication of the formation of the title compound. The absence of characteristic downfield 1H NMR peak of pyrrolidine ring and the presence of S–N stretching vibration at 857.82 cm−1 on the FTIR are strong indications for the formation of the sulfonamide. The experimental study was complemented with computations at the B3LYP/6-311G + + (d,p) level of theory to gain more understanding of interactions in the compound at the molecular level. Noncovalent interaction, Hirsfeld surface analysis and interaction energy calculations were employed in the analysis of the supramolecular architecture of the compound. Predicted ADMET parameters, awarded suitable bioavailability credentials, while the molecular docking study indicated that the compound enchants promising inhibition prospects against dihydropteroate synthase, DNA topoisomerase, and SARS-CoV-2 spike. Herein we present the solid state structure, noncovalent interaction and spectroscopic analysis of a prospective bioactive compound 4-hydroxy-1-[(4-nitrophenyl)sulphonyl]pyrrolidine-2-carboxyllic acid.

The novel third-order nonlinear optical organic material 4-fluoro-N-[4-(diethylamino)benzylidene]aniline (FDEABA) is synthesized and single crystals of FDEABA are grown using the slow evaporation method. The placement of the protons is confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectral analysis. Employing Fourier transform infrared spectral analysis, vibrational frequencies of various functional groups of the FDEABA compound are identified. The three-dimensional crystal structure of the grown crystal is elucidated using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies, which reveal that the compound FDEABA crystallized in the monoclinic non-centrosymmetric space group P21. Intermolecular interactions are studied using Hirshfeld surface analysis and compared with similar structures of halogen-substituted benzylideneaniline derivatives. Thermal stability of FDEABA is measured using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses and the melting point of the synthesized FDEABA compound is 51 °C. Open aperture Z-scan measurements carried out at 532 nm using 5 ns laser pulses reveal nonlinear optical absorption leading to strong optical limiting behaviour, which can be useful in the protection of eyes and sensitive optical detectors from harmful laser radiation.

9-(4-hydroxyphenyl-tetramethyl-hexahydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione (OH-X) was synthesized and characterized experimentally using X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, 1H, 13 C NMR, and UV-Vis spectra, and theoretically using DFT calculations. To look at stability, different physicochemical properties have been compared. The most stable optimized structure was discovered using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) basis set, followed by FTIR and NMR investigation. Further details on the estimation of the electronic transitions in the UV-Vis spectra were provided by TD-DFT analysis.

The estimated maximum wavelength (λ) absorbance and the band-gap energy of OH-X were computed for various solvents and compared to the outcomes of experiments. Investigations of chemical reactivity, MEP map, and surface area maps were also carried out. To show electron delocalization in the molecule, electron localization function (ELF) and the local orbital localizer (LOL) were used. Other topics included topological and Mulliken charge distribution studies. Utilizing certain vibrational modes, the vibrational assignments were accomplished and experimental data was compared. The docking studies were utilized to investigate the interactions of the ligand (OH-X) with certain protein targets, suggesting that OH-X could be employed as a potential cytotoxic and antibacterial agent. OH-X may be considered a potential medicinal molecule as a result of the current research. In terms of geometric and spectroscopic features, the findings from the experimental and theoretical were highly comparable. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cancer resistance to chemotherapy and radiation therapies presents significant challenges, necessitating the exploration of alternative approaches. Targeting specific proteins at the molecular level, particularly their active sites, holds promise in addressing this issue. We investigated the potential of 4′-methoxy-2-nitrochalcone (MNC) as an MCL-1 inhibitor, examining its chemical and structural characteristics to elucidate its biological activity and guide the selection of potential candidates. We conducted a docking study, followed by synthesis, structural characterization, theoretical calculations, and in vitro experiments to comprehensively evaluate MNC. The docking results revealed MNC's excellent binding within the active site of MCL-1. At 50 µM, MNC demonstrated 99% inhibition of HCT116 cell proliferation, with an IC50 value of 15.18 µM after 24 h. Treatment with MNC at 30.36 and 15.18 µM resulted in reduced cell density. Notably, MNC exhibited marked cytotoxicity at concentrations of 15.58 µM and 7.79 µM, inducing high frequencies of plasma membrane rupture and apoptosis, respectively. Our findings highlight the significant biological potential of MNC as an MCL-1 inhibitor. Furthermore, we propose exploring chalcones with hydrogen bond acceptor substituents as promising candidates for studying inhibitors targeting this protein. In conclusion, our study addresses the challenge of cancer resistance by investigating MNC as an MCL-1 inhibitor. Through detailed characterization and experimental validation, we establish the efficacof MNC in inhibiting cell proliferation and inducing cytotoxic effects. These results underscore the potential of MNC as a valuable therapeutic agent and suggest the use of chalcones with hydrogen bond acceptor substituents as a basis for developing novel MCL-1 inhibitors.

Citrulline is a non-protein amino acid that acts as a metabolic intermediate in the urea cycle and arginine synthesis. It is present in some foods, although its name derives from watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), from which it was first identified. Under normal conditions, Citrulline exists as a zwitterion in aqueous solutions since its carboxylic and amine groups can act as Lewis donors to chelate metal cations. In addition, Citrulline possesses in the aliphatic chain a terminal ureide group, which could also coordinate. Although Citrulline is comparable to other classical amino acids, its coordination chemistry has yet to be explored. Only two metal complexes have been reported, and the copper complex is a polymeric and insoluble material. As part of our search for active Casiopeina® analogs, we created a more soluble complex by combining 2,2′-Bipyridine into a new mixed material, resulting in the mononuclear complex [Cu(Bipy)(Citr)(H2O)(NO3)]·H2O. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV-Vis, Raman), and mass spectrometry characterized the material. Interestingly, both isomers of Citrulline, R(D), and S(L) are present in the same crystal. In addition, the molecular structure and electronic properties of the complex were calculated using density functional theory (DFT). Non-covalent interactions were characterized using the atoms-in-molecules (AIM) approach and Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis. This ternary complex containing Citrulline and 2,2′-Bipyridine will be used for docking calculations and preliminary biological studies using calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) and plasmid pUC19 as a first approximation to cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines.

3-ferrocenyl-estra-1,3,5 (10)-triene-17-one (2), [Fe(C5H5)(C24H25O3)], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2. The cyclopentadienyl (Cp) rings adopt a nearly eclipsed conformation, and the Cp plane is tilted by 87.66° with respect to the substituted phenyl plane. An average Fe-C(Cp) bond length of 2.040(13) Å was determined, similar to the one reported for ferrocene. Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were generated to analyze weak intermolecular C-H···π and C-H···O interactions. Density functional theory studies revealed a 1.15 kcal/mol rotational barrier for the C3-O1 single bound. Fluorescence quenching studies and in silico docking studies suggest that human serum albumin forms a complex with 2 via a static mechanism dominated by van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding interactions.

Thiosemicarbazides are sulfur-based nitrogen-rich donor ligands, characterized by π-delocalized electronic charge and flexible molecular chain. The flexible molecular chain and polydentate nature is responsible for their wide biological and synthetic profile to synthesize several classes of heterocycles. In this context, the molecular and crystal structures coupled with Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis of benzylidene thiosemicarbazides: (E)-2-(4-hydroxybenzylidene) hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, (3a) and (E)-2-(3-nitrobenzylidene) hydrazine-1-carbothioamide, (3b) are reported. Consequently, single crystal x-ray revealed interesting results, and the analyzed compounds were found to be polymorphs of the previously reported structures each having widely different unit cell. Briefly, compound (3a) crystallized with a single molecule in the asymmetric unit whereas its polymorph has six. In contrast, compound (3b) crystallized with Z = 2 having single molecule in asymmetric unit of the polymorph. Subsequently, HS analysis successfully visualized, explored, and quantified weak interactions present in the crystal lattices of the polymorphs. HS analysis revealed oxygen atoms of the nitro group significantly influence HS of molecule (3b). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Context: The design and synthesis of safe and highly active sulfonylurea herbicides is still a challenge. Therefore, following some principles of structure-activity relationship (SAR) of sulfonylurea herbicides, this work focuses on evaluating two sulfonylurea derivatives bearing electron-withdrawing substituents, namely, –(CO)OCH3 and –NO2 on the aryl group, on herbicidal activity. To understand the effects caused by the substituent groups, the molecular and electronic structures of the sulfonylureas were evaluated by density functional theory. Likewise, the crystalline supramolecular arrangements of both compounds were analyzed by Hirshfeld surface, QTAIM, and NBO, with the aim of verifying changes in intermolecular interactions caused by substituent groups. Finally, through a toxicophoric analysis, we were able to predict the interacting groups in their biological target, acetolactate synthase, and verify the interactions with the binding site. Methods: All theoretical calculations were conducted using the highly parameterized empirical exchange-correlation functional M06-2X accompanied by the diffuse and polarized basis set 6-311++G(d,p). The atomic coordinates were obtained directly from the crystalline structures, and from the energies of the frontier molecular orbitals (HOMO and LUMO), chemical descriptors were obtained that indicated the influence of the functional groups in the sulfonylureas on the reactivity of the molecules. The intermolecular interactions in the crystals were analyzed using the Hirshfeld, QTAIM, and NBO surfaces. Toxicophoric modeling was performed by the PharmaGist webserver and molecular docking calculations were performed by the GOLD 2022.1.0 software package so that the ligand was fitted to the binding site in a 10 Å sphere. For this, genetic algorithm parameters were used using the ChemPLP scoring function for docking and ASP for redocking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The quantum chemical properties of hydantoin (imidazolidine-2,4-dione) have been studied by the DFT method (density functional theory) and experimentally by FT-IR, UV–Vis, 1H, and 13 C NMR. The B3LYP technique is used to determine HOMO-LUMO, vibrational frequency, and other parameters as well as to optimize the structure. Along with that vibrational mode assessment, the estimated vibrational frequencies were compared to experimental FT-IR spectra. MEP (molecular electrostatic potential) analysis and a Fukui function analysis were both done to look into the reactive regions of the molecule in order to look into the charge distribution of the molecule. Additionally, the electron localization function (ELF) value was examined to reveal details about the chemical composition, molecular bonding, and reactivity. The calculation of UV–visible spectra using the TD-DFT/PCM approach is done, and the results are contrasted with UV spectra that have been calculated experimentally. From HOMO to LUMO orbitals, electron excitation analysis was carried out. Hole and Electron density distribution (EDD and HDD) maps were created in an excited state using various solvents. The intermolecular interactions on the crystal surface were described and evaluated using fingerprint plots and Hirshfeld surface analyses. The Hirshfeld surface was used to identify different kinds of intermolecular interactions, including N–C, N–H, N–O, O–C, and O–H. The 1H-NMR and 13 C-NMR shifts were calculated using the GIAO method, and the results were compared to experimental spectra. In a biological investigation utilizing several receptors, molecular docking was employed to identify the most effective ligand-protein interactions. The stability of biomolecular systems was investigated using a molecular dynamics simulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The reaction of 8-aminoquinoline, zinc chloride and hydrochloric acid in ethanol yielded the title salt, (C9H10N2)[ZnCl4], which consists of a planar 8-azaniumylquinolinium dication and a tetrahedral tetrachlorozincate dianion. The 8-aminoquinoline moiety is protonated at both the amino and the ring N atoms. In the crystal, the cations and anions are connected by intermolecular N--H...Cl and C--H...Cl hydrogen bonds, forming sheets parallel to (001). Adjacent sheets are linked through π-π interactions involving the pyridine and arene rings of the 8-azaniumylquinolinium dication. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H...Cl (48.1%), H...H (19.9%), H...C/C...H (14.3%) (involving the cations) and H...Cl (82.6%) (involving the anions) interactions.

The crystal structure of the title compound, C13H9Br2N [systematic name: (E)-N,1-bis(4-bromophenyl)methanimine], is a second polymorph (Form II) crystallizing in the orthorhombic space group Pccn. The first polymorph (Form I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c [Bernstein & Izak (1975). J. Cryst. Mol. Struct. 5, 257–266; Marin et al. (2013). J. Mol. Struct. 1049, 377–385]. The molecule is disordered about an inversion center situated in the middle of the C=N bond, similar to the situation in the monoclinic polymorph: the C=N bond length is 1.243 (7) Å. In the crystal, molecules stack along the b-axis direction and are linked by C—H...π interactions. The interatomic contacts in the crystal for both polymorphs were studied by Hirshfeld surface analysis and have notable differences. The solid-state fluorescence spectrum of Form II shows an emission peak at ca 469 nm. The two-photon absorption coefficient measured from the open aperture Z-scan technique is 1.3 × 10 −11 m W−1, hence, Form II shows optical limiting behaviour.

The title coordination compound, [Ni(C6H14N2O)2(H2O)2]Cl2, was synthesized by mixing 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine and nickel chloride in double-distilled water. The asymmetric unit comprises one half of an NiII cation (located on an inversion centre), one 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligand, one coordinated water molecule and one chloride ion outside the metal coordination sphere. The nickel ion is in a octahedral environment of the N4O2 type, coordinating four N atoms from two 4-(2-aminoethyl)morpholine ligands and two trans-located O atoms from two water molecules. The morpholine ligand was found disordered over two positions with a site occupancy ratio of 0.708 (8):0.292 (8). The crystal structure is consolidated by N—H...Cl, N—H...O, C—H...Cl and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis confirms that van der Waals interactions are prevalent in the crystal packing of the synthesized complex.

The title compound, C16H11N3O3, belongs to the family of azo dyes. In the light of a single-crystal X-ray study, it is evident that of the tautomeric forms (azo–hydrazone), the hydrazone form is the predominant form in the solid state, namely, (1E)-1-[2-(3-nitrophenyl)hydrazin-1-ylidene]-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-2-one. The naphthol and benzene fragments attached to the –N=N– moiety adopt the s-trans conformation. Furthermore, the molecules are nearly coplanar, subtending a dihedral angle of 2.63 (5)°. An intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond occurs. There are only two types of intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure: strong hydrogen-bonding C—H...O interactions and π–π stacking interactions. The importance of C—H...O interactions in the molecular packing is reflected by the relatively high contributions (28.5%) made by O...H/H...O contacts to the Hirshfeld surface.

In the crystal, molecules of the title compound, C10H8FIN2O3S, are connected through C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, I...O halogen bonds, π–π stacking interactions between the benzene and pyrimidine rings, and edge-to-edge electrostatic interactions, as shown by the analysis of the Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional fingerprint plots, as well as intermolecular interaction energies calculated using the electron-density model at the HF/3–21 G level of theory.

In this investigation a single crystal of (4-oxo-piperidinium ethylene acetal) trioxonitrate (4-OPEAN) was synthesized by modifying the mechanism of gradual evaporation at ambient temperature. The operational groupings are found in the complex material in the elaborate substance, according to the infrared spectrum. Single crystal X-ray diffraction suggests, (4-OPEAN) with the chemical formula (C7H12NO2)NO3 belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pnma and is centrosymmetric in three dimensions with the aforementioned network configurations, a = 11.7185(8) Å, b = 7.2729(6) Å, c = 11.0163(8) Å, Z = 4, V = 938.89(12) Å3, R = 0.0725 and wR = 0.1762. Many NH…O and CH…O hydrogen bridges, both bifurcated and non-bifurcated, link the 4-oxo-piperidinium ethylene acetal cations to the trigonal (NO3−) anions. Molecular geometry and optimal parameters of (4-OPEAN) have been determined via DFT computations at the theory-level B3LYP/6-311 ++ G(d, p), these have been contrasted with the X-ray data already available. Hirshfeld surface analysis has made it possible for the visualization and quantification of relationships between molecules in the crystal composition. Quantum theory atoms in molecules, electron location function, decreased density gradient, and localized orbital locator research have all been used to explore non-covalent interactions in crystal structure. In order to pinpoint both the nucleophilic and electrophilic locations that support hydrogen bond formation, the molecule electrostatic potential was determined. The greatest and lowest energies of occupied and unfilled molecular orbitals, together with additional derived atomic characteristics, show the material to be extremely stable and hard. According to a molecular docking study, 4-OPEAN may exhibit inhibiting effects on the 6Y84 and 7EJY virus proteins from corona (COVID-19).

The current research describes the synthesis and characterization of 2-acetylpyridine N(4)-cyclohexyl-thiosemicarbazone ligand (HL) and their two metal complexes, [Au(L)Cl][AuCl2] (1) and [Pd(L)Cl]·DMF (2). The molecular structures of the compounds were determined by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Single crystal X-ray diffraction was employed in the structural elucidation of the new complexes. The complexes showed a square planar geometry to the metal center Au(III) and Pd(II), coordinated with a thiosemicarbazone molecule by the NNS-donor system and a chloride ion. Complex (1) also shows the [AuCl2]− counter-ion in the asymmetric unit, and complex (2) has one DMF solvent molecule. These molecules play a key role in the formation of supramolecular structures due to different interactions. Noncovalent interactions were investigated through the 3D Hirshfeld surface by the dnorm function and the 2D fingerprint plots. The biological activity of the compounds was evaluated in vitro against the human glioma U251 cells. The cytotoxicity results revealed great antitumor activity in complex (1) compared with complex (2) and the free ligand. Molecular docking simulations were used to predict interactions and properties with selected proteins and DNA of the synthesized compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A supramolecular self-assembly of semiconducting polymers and small molecules plays an important role in charge transportation, performance, and lifetime of an optoelectronic device. Tremendous efforts have been put into the strategies to self-organize these materials. In this regard, here, we present the self-organization of terthiophene and its methyl alcohol derivative with 4,4′-bipyridine (44BiPy). An unexpected 2D layered organization of 5,5″-dimethyl-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene (DM3T) and 44BiPy was obtained and analyzed. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that DM3T and 44BiPy consist of stacked, almost independent, infinite 2D layers while held together by weak hydrogen bonds. In addition to this peculiar supramolecular arrangement of these compounds, the investigation of their photophysical properties showed strong fluorescence quenching of DM3T by 44BiPy in the solid state, suggesting an efficient charge transfer. On the other hand, the methyl alcohol derivative of terthiophene, DM3TMeOH, organized in a closed cyclic motif with 44BiPy via hydrogen bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Enalapril maleate is an antihypertensive ethyl ester pro-drug with two crystalline forms. A network of hydrogen bonds in both polymorphs plays an important role on solid-state stability, charge transfer process and degradation reactions (when exposed to high humidity, temperature and/or pH changes). Computational Procedures: Supramolecular arrangement was proposed by Hirshfeld surface using the CrystalExplorer17 software and quantum theory of atoms in molecules. The electronic structure properties were calculated using the functional hybrid M06-2X with 6–311++G** base function employing diffuse and polarization functions to improve the description of hydrogen atoms on intermolecular interactions. Also, the H+ charge transfer between enalapril and maleate molecules was performed using Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics with the Verlet algorithm. In both simulations, the temperature of the ionic system was maintained around 300 K using the Nosé-Hoover thermostat and the electronic system evolved without the use of the thermostat. Results: This work evaluates the effect of maleate on the structural stability of enalapril maleate solid state. The electronic structural analysis points out a partially covalent character for N1-H∙∙∙O7 interaction; and the molecular dynamic showed a decentralized hydrogen on maleate driving a decomposition by charge transfer process while a centered hydrogen driving the stabilization. The charge transfer process and the mobility of the proton (H+) between enalapril and maleate molecules was demonstrated using supramolecular modeling analyses and molecular dynamics calculations.

Single crystal X-Ray diffraction at 293 K was used to characterize the material, which was then investigated theoretically using the DFT method. The 3 D Hirshfeld surface and 2 D fingerprint plots were created and linked with the XRD results to elucidate intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattice. In addition, FT-IR, UV-Vis, 1H, and 13 C were used to support the synthesis. Theoretical data calculated via DFT/6-311++G(d,p) level, matched to experimental single crystal X-ray diffraction bond lengths and bond angle parameters, NMR and FT-IR spectra, coincides with experimental data. The time dependent (TD-DFT) results correlates with the experimental electronic absorption measurements. Mulliken population analysis, Molecular Electrostatic Potential analysis (MEP), and Electron Localization Function (ELF) study were also performed. TD-DFT and HOMO/LUMO computations were used to examine the electron transport. Molecular docking using 7 protein receptors and drug Likeness were used to find the best ligand-protein interactions.

The pincer ligand 2,4-bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)-6-methoxy-1,3,5-triazine (bpmt) was used to synthesize the novel [Na(bpmt)2][AuCl4] complex through the self-assembly method. In this complex, the Na(I) ion is hexa-coordinated with two tridentate N-pincer ligands (bpmt). The two bpmt ligand units are meridionally coordinated to Na(I) via one short Na-N(s-triazine) and two slightly longer Na-N(pyrazole) bonds, resulting in a distorted octahedral geometry around the Na(I) ion. In the coordinated bpmt ligand, the s-triazine core is not found to be coplanar with the two pyrazole moieties. Additionally, the two bpmt units are strongly twisted from one another by 64.94°. Based on Hirshfeld investigations, the H···H (53.4%) interactions have a significant role in controlling the supramolecular arrangement of the [Na(bpmt)2][AuCl4] complex. In addition, the Cl···H (12.2%), C···H (11.5%), N···H (9.3%), and O···H (4.9%) interactions are significant. Antimicrobial investigations revealed that the [Na(bpmt)2][AuCl4] complex has promising antibacterial and antifungal activities. The [Na(bpmt)2][AuCl4] complex showed enhanced antibacterial activity for the majority of the studied gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria compared to the free bpmt (MIC = 62.5–125 µg/mL vs. MIC = 62.5–500 µg/mL, respectively) and Amoxicillin (MIC > 500 µg/mL) as a positive control. Additionally, the [Na(bpmt)2][AuCl4] complex had better antifungal efficacy (MIC = 125 µg/mL) against C. albicans compared to bpmt (MIC = 500 µg/mL). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the 2‐oxospiro[indoline‐3,4′‐pyran]‐5′‐carbonitrile derivatives were synthesized, crystallized, and their molecular geometries were established by the SCXRD method. The significance of weak intermolecular interactions in the self‐assembly of 2‐oxospiro[indoline‐3,4′‐pyran]‐5′‐carbonitriles was then investigated. The supramolecular framework analysis indicated that 2‐oxospiro[indoline‐3,4′‐pyran]‐5′‐carbonitriles establish their network in self‐assembly mainly by N−H⋅⋅⋅O, N−H⋅⋅⋅N, C−H⋅⋅⋅O, C−H⋅⋅⋅C, C−H⋅⋅⋅N, and C−H⋅⋅⋅π interactions. The energy framework analysis revealed the dominant contribution of electrostatic energy in the crystal packing of the titled compounds. The PASS prediction of the titled compounds has shown a reasonably good affinity towards Insulin‐regulated aminopeptidase. Further, the molecular docking study with Insulin‐regulated aminopeptidase receptor has shown the higher affinity of the titled compounds to the zinc binding pocket over the other pockets.

The 3-(cyclohexylthio)-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2H-chromen-2-one (mf. C16H18O3S), a biologically relevant new version of organo-sulfur compounds, has been synthesized Its detailed spectral properties and X-ray crystal structure are studied.

Two novel Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes Co(dpza)2 (1) and Ni(dpza)2 (2) (Hdpza is 2,2-di(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)acetic acid) were successfully synthesized via solvothermal method. The two complexes namely, 1 and 2 are isostructural exhibiting lantern-shaped configurations as illustrated by the structural analysis.

The hydrazine s-triazine ligand (E)-4,4'-(6-(2-(1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethylidene)hydrazinyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)dimorpholine (DMPT) was used to synthesize two new Ni(II) complexes via a self-assembly technique. The two complexes were synthesized by a one-pot synthesis strategy and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis to be [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3)2.3H2O (1) and [Ni(DMPT)(H2O)3](NO3)2.H2O (2). The structures of both complexes were very similar regarding the coordination sphere and counter anions, but differ only in the number of the crystal water molecules. In the case of complex 1, there are three water molecules instead of one H2O molecule as in complex 2. In the two complexes, the DMPT ligand acts as a neutral tridentate NNN-chelate via three Ni–N coordination interactions. The coordination sphere of the Ni(II) ion is completed by three water molecules. As a result, the two complexes exhibit distorted octahedral geometry. The Hirshfeld surfaces around each entity in both complexes have been computed. Subsequently, their corresponding intermolecular interactions were quantified separately. Because the number of crystal water molecules is different in both complexes, their monomeric units are connected differently in their crystal structures where the crystal water molecules act as both hydrogen bond donor and acceptor. The polar O...H interactions are the most dominant in all entities of both complexes. As a result, strong O...H interactions are the driving force in the crystal packing of both complexes, and this is attributed to the presence of the nitrate anions and water molecules. The antimicrobial activity of the free ligand and complex 1 were determined against two selected fungal species, Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. The free ligand was found to be inactive against all microbial species. On the other hand, the Ni(II) complex 1 was found active against the Gram-positive bacterial species Bacillus subtilis and also the Gram-negative bacterial species Escherichia coli. The respective inhibition zone diameter of the Ni(II) complex was 12 and 11 mm, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

5-(1H-Indol-2-yl)-4-phenyl-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione 1a and 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-5-(1H-indol-2-yl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione 1b were galactosylated in the presence of NaHCO3 in ethanol to produce S-galactosides 3,4, whereas, in the presence of K2CO3 in acetone they produced a mixture of S- and N-galactosides 3-6 with a higher yield of S-galactosides over the respective N-galactosides. Improvement in the yields of N-galactosides was produced by thermal migration of the galactosyl moiety from sulfur to nitrogen using fusion. β-Stereoselectivity of galactosylation was determined using the coupling constant value 3J1,2, which exceeded 9.0 Hz in all prepared galactosides. The precursors 1a and 1b alkylated with 3-bromopropan-1-ol 7 in K2CO3 and acetone produced the S-alkylated products 8 and 9, respectively. Structural determinations of new compounds 5 and 9 are presented. The phenyl and indole moieties were found to be twisted from the triazole ring mean in both compounds. For compound 5, the twist angles were 66.24° and 18.86°, respectively, while the corresponding values for 9 were in the ranges of 73.15–77.29° and 13.96–20.70°, respectively. Hence, the crystal system of 9 is triclinic while the space group is P-1. Detailed analysis of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structure of 5 is presented using Hirshfeld calculations. The O...H, N...H, C...H, and S...H contacts appeared as red spots in the dnorm Hirshfeld surface indicating short distance intermolecular interactions. Their percentages were estimated based on the decomposition of the fingerprint plot to be 25.6, 2.4, 14.0, and 6.3%, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The title compound, [Co(C10H9O3)(C12H8N2)2(H2O)]NO3 (I), crystallizes in the triclinic space group P\overline{1} with a monomeric [Co(3-meo-cin)(phen)2(H2O)]+ cation and a nitrate anion (3-meo-cin = 3-methoxy cinnamic acid) in the asymmetric unit. The CoII ion is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms, the first from a methoxy cinnamate ligand and the second from a coordinated water molecule, forming a distorted octahedral geometry. Discrete entities of the cation and nitrate anion are formed by water–nitrate O—H...O and phen–nitrate C—H...O hydrogen bonds. The components are further assembled into chains along the c-axis direction. Layers are than formed by slipped π–π stacking interactions parallel to the bc plane.

The dihedral angles between adjacent aromatic rings in the molecule (starting from the cyanobenzene ring) are 72.61 (2), 87.69 (4), 64.08 (2) and 88.23 (2)°, indicating that adjacent rings are close to perpendicular to each other. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H...N and C—H...π interactions, thereby forming a two-dimensional supramolecular architecture in the ac plane. The most important contributions to the crystal packing arise from H...H (59.3%), S...H (27.4%) and O...H (7.5%) interactions, as determined by a Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Each molecule forms N—H...O hydrogen-bonded chains along along the c-axis direction with its symmetry-related counterparts and the chains are connected by C—F...π(ring), C=O...π(ring) and slipped π-stacking interactions. A Hirshfeld surface analysis of these interactions was performed.

In recent years, fluorescent compounds that emit efficiently in the solid state have become particularly interesting, especially those that are easily prepared and inexpensive. Hence, exploring the photophysical properties of stilbene derivatives, supported by a detailed analysis of molecular packing obtained from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, is a relevant area of research. A complete understanding of the interactions to determine the molecular packing in the crystal lattice and their effect on the material's physicochemical properties is essential to tune various properties effectively. In the present study, we examined a series of methoxy-trans-stilbene analogs with substitution pattern-dependent fluorescence lifetimes between 0.82 and 3.46 ns and a moderate-to-high fluorescence quantum yield of 0.07–0.69. The relationships between the solid-state fluorescence properties and the structure of studied compounds based on X-ray analysis were investigated. As a result, the QSPR model was developed using PLSR (Partial Least Squares Regression). Decomposition of the Hirshfeld surfaces (calculated based on the arrangement of molecules in the crystal lattice) revealed the various types of weak intermolecular interactions that occurred in the crystal lattice. The obtained data, in combination with global reactivity descriptors calculated using HOMO and LUMO energy values, were used as explanatory variables. The developed model was characterized by good validation metrics (RMSECAL = 0.017, RMSECV = 0.029, R2CAL = 0.989, and R2CV = 0.968) and indicated that the solid-state fluorescence quantum yield of methoxy-trans-stilbene derivatives was mainly dependent on weak intermolecular C...C contacts corresponding to π-π stacking and C...O/O...C interactions. To a lesser extent and inversely proportional, the fluorescence quantum yield was affected by the interactions of the type O...H/H...O and H...H and the electrophilicity of the molecule.

Biphenyl is a preferred scaffold that can be found in a number of drugs due to its ability to bind with a wide variety of proteins having high specificity. In order to have better insights into the structure and properties of such useful molecules, the title compound is synthesized by standard chemical means. Direct methods were employed for X-ray structure determination. The molecular geometry has been optimized using the Hatree-Fock and Density functional theory methods. The electrostatic potential map (MEP) and molecular orbitals (FMOs) have been computed using the density functional theory.

New pentafluorobenzoate (Рfb) copper complexes with 2,3- and 3,5-lutidine (2,3- and 3,5-Lut, respectively), quinoline (Quin), and 1,10-phenanthroline (Рhen) ([Cu2(MeCN)2(Рfb)4] (I), [Cu(2,3-Lut)2(Pfb)2] (II), [Cu(3,5-Lut)4(Pfb)2] (III), [Cu(Quin)2(Pfb)2] (IV), and [Cu2(Phen)2(Pfb)4] (V)) are synthesized by the newly developed methods and characterized. The unusual heteroanionic pentafluorobenzoate benzoate (Вnz) ionic compound [Cu2(Рhen)2(Рfb)3]+(Рnz)– (VI) is synthesized. It is shown that the four-bridge binuclear metal cage of complex I is not retained in the reactions with various pyridine derivatives. In the case of such α-substituted pyridines as 2,3-lutidine and quinoline, the compositions and structures of the final products of the reactions with copper pentafluorobenzoate are independent of the initial ratio of the reagents and crystallization conditions. It is revealed by the Hirshfeld surface analysis that π···π, C–F···π, C–H···F, and F···F interactions make the major contribution to the stabilization of crystal packings of the synthesized complexes.

The crystal structure of a 1,2,3-triazole fused heterocyclic derivative 2-(1-Benzyl-5-methyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-6-phenyl pyridine (DICLPY; 4h) is reported. The structural characterization is done by single crystal X-ray technique. The Hirshfeld surfaces (HS) and 2D fingerprint graphs are generated to investigate the inter atomic contacts contribution for structure by CrystalExplorer 17.5 program. The pairwise interaction energies between neighboring molecules are computed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. This interaction energy analysis showed that the total stability of the DICLPY structure is mainly contributed by the dispersion force factor followed by the coulomb potential force factor. The DFT-based HOMO, LUMO orbitals and molecular electrostatic potential map are studied to identify the reactivity of our molecule. In-silico molecular docking technique is used to inspect the DICLPY compound as a possible antibacterial agent by docking with Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase protein (PDB ID: 2VF5) using PyRx and AutoDock Vina programs. The molecular dynamics simulation is performed to examine the physical movement of our molecule DICLPY with Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase protein for 100 ns time period. MD simulation revealed the greater stability of DICLPY and Glucosamine-6-phosphate synthase protein complex during the simulation period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
