Crystal structure, DFT and mol­ecular docking studies of three 4-(benzo[d]thia­zol-2-yl)-N,N-di­phenyl­aniline derivatives

This work details the design, synthesis and characterization of novel high-efficiency catalyst materials for improved chemical transformations. The results demonstrate superior reaction yields and selectivity under optimized conditions.

Occupational disorder and anharmonic atomic displacements in an elastically flexible caffeine cocrystal solvate at 20 K

In the flexible multicom­ponent system of caffeine, 4-chloro-3-nitro­benzoic acid and methanol, the solvent mol­ecules are occupationally disordered. The acid mol­ecule exhibits intra­molecular strain between the Cl atom and the disordered nitro group, with anharmonic displacements of the Cl atom and the O atom of the shortest N—O bond.

An unusual case of tetartohedral twinning: the low-tem­per­ature phase of bis­[μ3-1,3-bis­(tert-butyl­aza­nid­yl)-1,1,3,3-tetra­methyl­disiloxane]tetra­lithium(I)

The low-tem­per­a­ture phase of the title com­pound crystallizes in P21, but the cell is pseudo-tetra­gonal. Twinning arises via two equal axes and a monoclinic β angle of 90.05 (2)°, and also by inversion. The twinning was successfully analysed, leading to a satisfactory structure (wR2 0.067).

Salts of 4-phenyl-1-[phen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)methyl­­idene]thio­semi­car­bazide with inorganic anions

Salt forms of 4-phenyl-1-[phen­yl(pyridin-2-yl)methyl­idene]thio­semi­car­ba­zide (chloride, nitrate and thio­cyanate salts) are air stable in the solid state. They crystallize as E isomers; however, both E and Z isomers were found using NMR spectroscopy (DMSO-d6 solutions).
