Crystal structure and Hirshfeld-surface analysis of 1-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-3,3-bis­(methyl­sulfan­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The crystal structure and a Hirshfeld-surface analysis of the chalcone derivative 1-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-3,3-bis­(methyl­sulfan­yl)prop-2-en-1-one are presented.

Accepted 6 May 2025

Synthesis and structure of 1′,4′-di­phenyl-1a,1′,4′,4′′,5′′,9b-hexa­hydro-2′′H-di­spiro­[cyclopropa[l]phenanthrene-1,2′-[1,4]ep­oxy­naphthalene-3′,3′′-thio­phene]

The title compound was inadvertently prepared as a Diels–Alder adduct between 1,3-di­phenyl­isobenzo­furan and 3-(1a,9 b-di­hydro-1H-cyclo­propa[l]phenanthren-1-yl­idene)tetra­hydro­thio­phene. A combination of fused, bridged, and spiro­cyclic ring systems are all featured within a single mol­ecular structure of this highly crowded polycyclic compound.

Crystal structure of chloro­methyl 2-[2-(2,6-di­chloro­phenyl­amino)­phen­yl]acetate

The previously unknown mol­ecular SCXRD structure and crystal-packing pattern of a diclofenac derivative were assessed in detail including intra- and inter­molecular inter­actions such as hydrogen bonds and halogen bonds. The validity of these inter­actions was further evaluated computationally using QM calculations.

Synthesis and structure of (E)-3,4,5-trihy­droxy-N′-(3,4,5-tri­meth­oxy­benzyl­idene)benzohydrazide monohydrate

In the structure of the title compound, C17H18N2O7·H2O, relatively strong bifurcated and simple hydrogen-bond inter­actions are present, together with extended van der Waals inter­actions. A hydrogen-bond coordination analysis suggests that polymorphs of the title structure may exist.

Accepted 5 May 2025

Bis(μ-thio­semicarbazide-κ3N1,S:S3S:N1,S)bis­[(di­methyl­formamide-κO)(thio­semicarbazide-κ2N1,S)cadmium(II)] tetra­kis­(2,4,6-tri­nitro­phen­olate): synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis

The complete binuclear cation of the title complex salt is generated by a crystallographic center of symmetry and features bridging S atoms.

Accepted 5 May 2025

Phenyl palladium(II) iodide complexes isolated after Sonogashira coupling of iodo­benzenes with terminal alkynes

The structure of four bis(tri­phenyl­phosphine)phenyl­palladium(II) iodides isolated after completion of Sonogashira coupling reactions, in which the aryl iodide was used in slight excess, are reported.

Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of Fmoc-β-amino butyric acid and Fmoc carbamate

In the context of the development of synthetic routes that facilitate the incorporation of β-amino acids into peptide synthesis, the synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis are reported of fluorenyl­meth­oxy­carbonyl (Fmoc) protected β-amino butyric acid. The importance of pH control in the reaction employing Fmoc-N3 is demonstrated with another β-amino acid analogue from which Fmoc carbamate was identified as the major product.

Accepted 18 April 2025

Ortho­rhom­bic cerium(III) carbonate hydroxide studied by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction

A synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction study of commercially obtained ‘cerium(III) carbonate hydrate' indicates that multiple Ce-containing phases coexist, none of which are Ce2(CO3)3. The majority phase is an ortho­rhom­bic phase of composition CeCO3OH.

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.
