The capacity of coumarin to be functionalized makes it an important mol­ecule for designing novel derivatives to treat autoimmune diseases. The total structural elucidation of new derivatives and in silico evaluation contributes to a better assessment of their potential bioactivities.

The crystal structures of six new chro­mone derivatives have been determined and analysed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. An analysis of the inter­molecular hy­dro­gen bonding was further supported by pairwise energy calculations and visualized using the energy framework approach.

The structure of O-ethyl N-phenyl­thio­carbamate has been redetermined. Layers of hy­dro­gen-bonded dimers lie parallel to (031). A refinement using nonspherical scattering factors greatly reduced the number and severity of badly-fitting reflections.

The hybrid halide [HCPP]2[ZnBr4] [HCPP is 4-(4-chloro­phen­yl)pyridinium] exhibits efficient blue emission centred at 432 nm with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 56.35%.

The crystal structure of a hydrated mol­ecular salt formed between 2-amino­thia­zole (AT) and 3,5-di­nitro­benzoic acid (DNBA) reveals a robust hy­dro­gen-bonded network, dominated by an R22(8) heterodimeric synthon between AT+ cations and DNBA anions. This is extended into larger supra­molecular assemblies through N—H⋯O, OW—HW⋯O, OW—HW⋯OW and C—H⋯O inter­actions, forming R42(9), R65(17) and R88(40) motifs.

[Nd(hfac)3(H2O)3]·3pdz (hfac is hexa­fluoro­acetyl­acetonate and pdz is pyridazine) was synthesized and the effect of the coordinated water mol­ecules and hy­dro­gen bonding on luminescence was investigated.

(Z)-N-(4-Fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxo­propane­hydrazonoyl chloride forms concomitant colour polymorphs, namely, block-shaped pale-orange crystals of form I (space group P21/n, Z = 4) and needle-shaped pale-yellow crystals of form II (space group P21/c, Z = 4).
