Weak inter­actions defining the crystal packing in the sterically demanding com­pound 1-(3-methyl­phen­yl)-2-(4-nitro­phen­yl)-4,5-di­phenyl-1H-imid­azole

Crystals from a tetra­substituted 1H-imid­a­zole were obtained and theoretical calculations were carried out to determine electronic and structural properties. Weak inter­actions define the crystal packing in this sterically demanding com­pound. The nitro groups play a key role by their influence on the polarization of the mol­ecule.

Can halogen atoms in coumarin derivatives affect the structure and anti­proliferative activity of nickel(II) com­plexes?

The characterization and description of the crystal structures of new halogenated coumarin derivatives and their nickel(II) com­plexes are reported alongside their anti­cancer activity.

Halogen and hy­dro­gen bonding of 3,6-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetra­zine and 3,6-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetra­zine

Seven new crystal structures of 3,6-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)- and 3,6-bis­(pyridin-4-yl)-1,2,4,5-tetra­zine with halogen- and hy­dro­gen-bond donors reveal how pyridyl orientation and donor type govern supra­molecular assembly, producing hy­dro­gen-bonded triads and chains. Variations in pyridine-to-tetra­zine dihedral angles, stacking, and donor inter­actions highlight the tunability of these tetra­zines for directing crystal packing and noncovalent inter­actions in designed materials.

From central chirality to helical chirality: two chiral coordination polymers based on lactic acid derivative and their SHG responses

Two chiral coordination polymers based on a new lactic acid derivative ligand show efficient transfer from central chirality to helical chirality and exhibit notable SHG responses.
