Synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface of ethyl 2-[2-(methyl­sulfan­yl)-5-oxo-4,4-di­phenyl-4,5-di­hydro-1H-imidazol-1-yl]acetate (thio­phenytoin derivative)

The di­hydro­imidazole ring in the title mol­ecule is slightly distorted and the lone pair on the tri-coordinate nitro­gen atom is involved in intra-ring π bonding. In the crystal, C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers, which are connected along the a- and c-axis directions by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ac plane.

Crystal structures of seven gold(III) complexes of the form LAuX3 (L = substituted pyridine, X = Cl or Br)

The structures of seven complexes of general formula LAuX3 (L = methyl­pyridines or di­methyl­pyridines, X = Cl or Br) are presented. In the crystal packing, a frequent feature is the offset-stacked and approximately rectangular dimeric moiety (Au—X)2, linked by Au⋯X contacts.

Pyrazine-bridged polymetallic copper–iridium clusters

The title mol­ecule is centrosymmetric, with a pyrazine ligand bridging two {Cu10Ir3} cluster units that are arranged in an unusual shape containing 13 vertices, 22 faces, and 32 sides.

Variable temperature studies of tetra­pyridine­silver(I) hexa­fluoro­phosphate and tetra­pyridine­silver(I) hexa­fluoro­anti­monate

Structures of tetra­pyridine­silver(I) hexa­fluoro­phosphate and tetra­pyridine silver(I) hexa­fluoro­anti­monate are reported from data collected at 300 K and 100 K.

Structural multiplicity in a multi-component solvated crystal of the anti­retroviral protease inhibitor Lopinavir

The multi-component solvated Lopinavir crystal was prepared using evaporative methods. The crystal structure is unusual in that although Lopinavir was crystallized in ethyl­ene glycol (ethane-1,2-diol) alone, the unit cell contains four different components, totalling 18 mol­ecules. The stoichiometric ratio of this crystal is eight lopinavir mol­ecules, two ethane-1,2-diol mol­ecules, one (E)-ethene-1,2-diol (C2H4O2) and seven water mol­ecules.
