Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of chlorido­(2,6-di­methyl­phenyl isocyanide)[N′-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)-N-(pyridin-2-yl)carbamimido­yl]platinum(II)

The coordination geometry around the platinum atom is square-planar. In the crystal, dimers with R22(8) motifs, formed by pairs of N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, are connect to each other through pairs of weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions, forming a R22(16) motif and creating parallel ribbons along the [011] axis direction. The mol­ecular pairs are connected by C—H⋯π and π–π inter­actions, forming parallel ribbons along the b-axis direction.

Mol­ecular and crystal structure of 2,5-bis­[(4-fluoro­phen­yl)imino­meth­yl]furan

In the reported crystal structure, the central furan rings lies on twofold rotation axis in space group C2/c with the furan ring and imine groups of adjacent mol­ecules participating in C—H⋯N inter­actions to give furan-ring-centered hydrogen-bonded chains extending along [101].

Accepted 2 June 2025

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bis­[2-amino-5-(ethyl­sulfan­yl)-1,3,4-thia­diazol-3-ium] bis­(perchlorato-κO)bis­(picolinato-κ2N,O)copper(II)

The title copper(II) complex exhibits a distorted octa­hedral geometry in which the CuII cation is coordinated by the bidentate picolinate and monodentate perchlorate ligands. The crystal structure features a unique outer-sphere protonated thia­diazole cation inter­acting via hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis underscores the dominant role of O⋯H/H⋯O inter­actions in the crystal packing.

Accepted 31 May 2025

Crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses of di­phenyl­methyl 2-(3,5-di­meth­oxy­phen­yl)acetate and di­phenyl­methyl 2-(3,4,5-tri­meth­oxy­phen­yl)acetate

The title compounds, C23H22O4, (I), and C24H24O5, (II), differ in the presence of a meth­oxy atom instead of a hydrogen atom between two meth­oxy groups at the phenyl ring, which greatly affects the mol­ecular conformations and the symmetries of the crystals.

Accepted 30 May 2025

Crystal structures of three 4-methyl­piperidinium salts (one as three polymorphs) with tetrahalogenidoaurate(III), halide and (in one case) di­chloro­iodate(I) counter-anions

The structures of three 4-methyl­pyridinium tetra­halogenidoaurate(III) halides, one also including a di­chloro­iodate(I) anion, are presented. The crystal packings involve hydrogen, halogen and coinage bonds, and display prominent substructure types involving the cations and halides or the anions alone.

Accepted 24 May 2025

Synthesis and crystal structure of catena-poly[[bis­(nitrato-κ2O,O′)strontium(II)]-di-μ-L-histidine-κ3O,O′:O2O:O′]

The title mono-periodic coordination polymer features ten-coordinate Sr2+ ions, zwitterionic L-histidine ligands and nitrate anions.

Accepted 21 May 2025

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-azido-N-(2,6-di­methyl­phen­yl)acetamide

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C10H12N4O, consists of two independent mol­ecules differing in the rotational orientation of the 2-azido­acetamido group.

Accepted 16 May 2025

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analyses, crystal voids, inter­action energy calculations and energy frameworks of (E)-2-[(pyren-1-yl­methyl­idene)amino]­ethanol

The title compound contains a pyrene ring system consisting of four fused benzene rings arranged in a planar configuration. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules into infinite chains along the c- axis direction. π–π stacking inter­actions between the benzene rings of adjacent mol­ecules help to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture.

Accepted 12 April 2025

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface, DFT and mol­ecular docking studies of 4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl (2E)-3-[4-(pent­yloxy)phen­yl]prop-2-enoate

In the title compound, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 83.30 (8)°. An intra­molecular C—H⋯O contact generates a five-membered S(5) ring motif. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules through R12(6), R22(10), R22(14) hydrogen-bond motifs.
