N-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-4-nitro­benzamide

In the title compound, C13H9BrN2O3, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 3.6 (7)°. The amide group is twisted by 28.1 (6) and 31.8 (3)° from the mean planes of the 4-bromo­phenyl and 4-nitro­benzene rings, respectively. The crystal packing features weak inter­molecular N—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds resulting in a three-dimensional network

Methyl 1-benzyl-5-methyl-2,4-diphenyl-1H-pyrrole-3-carboxyl-ate

In the title compound, C26H23NO2, the dihedral angles between the pyrrole ring and the two phenyl rings are 58.1 (6) and 71.5 (5)°. The mean planes of the 5-methyl­benzene ring and the carboxyl group are twisted by 89.5 (3) and 22.1 (9)°, respectively, from the pyrrole ring. In the crystal, weak C—H⋯O inter­actions lead to supra­molecular layers in the ab plane

(E)-2-{[(Furan-2-ylmethyl)imino]methyl}-4-nitrophenol

In the title compound, C12H10N2O4, the furan-2-ylmethyl group is disordered over two sets of sites, with refined occupancies of 0.858 (3) and 0.143 (3). In the major component of disorder, the dihedral angle between the furan and benzene rings is 63.1 (2) and for the minor component this value is 67.9 (6) . The planes of the nitro group and the attached benzene ring form a dihedral angle of 4.34 (17) . In the crystal, inversion-related molecules are linked by two pairs of weak C—H O interactions, one involving the nitro group and the other involving the O—H group as an acceptor. As a result of these associations, ribbons are formed along [120]. A strong intramolecular O—H N hydrogen bond is observed.National Science Foundation MRI program (CHE0619278)Scopu

Ethyl 2-(4-nitro­benzamido)­benzoate, a non-merohedral twin

In the title compound, C16H14N2O5, a non-merohedral twin, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two benzene rings is 4.0 (9)°. The ethyl group is disordered [0.643 (14) and 0.357 (14) occupancy]. The nitro group is twisted by 16.4 (4)° from the mean plane of the benzene ring and the mean plane of the carbonyl group is twisted from the mean planes of the two benzene rings by 4.5 (0) and 4.7 (9)°. An intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen-bond inter­actions

(2E)-3-(4-Chloro­phen­yl)-1-(4-hy­droxy­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C15H11ClO2, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chloro­benzene and hy­droxy­benzene rings is 6.5 (6)°. The mean plane of the prop-2-en-1-one group makes an angle of 18.0 (1)° with the hy­droxy­phenyl ring and 11.5 (1)° with the chloro­phenyl ring. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯π and π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.7771 (7) and 3.6917 (7) Å]

4-(4-Chloro­phen­yl)-4-hy­droxy­piperidinium benzoate

In the title salt, C11H15ClNO+·C7H5O2 −, the dihedral angle between the mean planes of the chloro­phenyl ring of the cation and the benzene ring of the anion is 74.4 (1)°. In the cation, the six-membered piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation. The crystal packing is stabilized by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, and weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π inter­actions

(E)-2-[(2-Hydr­oxy-5-nitro­phen­yl)iminiometh­yl]-4-nitro­phenolate

The title mol­ecule, C13H9N3O6, consists of a 2-hydr­oxy-5-nitro­phenyl­iminio group and a 4-nitro­phenolate group bonded to a methyl­ene C atom with both of the planar six-membered rings nearly in the plane of the mol­ecule [dihedral angle = 1.3 (4)°]. Each of the nitro O atoms is twisted slightly out of the plane of the mol­ecule. The amine group forms an intra­molecular hydrogen bond with both nearby O atoms, each of which has partial occupancy of attached H atoms [0.36 (3) and 0.64 (3)]. An extended π-delocalization throughout the entire mol­ecule exists producing a zwitterionic effect in this region of the mol­ecule. The shortened phenolate C—O bond [1.2749 (19)°], in concert with the slightly longer phenol C—O bond [1.3316 (19) Å], provides evidence for this effect. The crystal packing is influenced by extensive strong inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding between the depicted phenolate and hydr­oxy O atoms and their respective H atoms within the π-delocalized region of the mol­ecule. As a result, mol­ecules are linked into an infinite polymeric chain diagonally along the [110] plane of the unit cell in an alternate inverted pattern. A MOPAC AM1 calculation provides support for these observations

{Tris[2-(imidazol-2-ylmethyl­imino)eth­yl]methyl­ammonium}iron(II) tris­(per­chlorate) dihydrate

The title complex, [Fe(C19H27N10)](ClO4)3·2H2O, is a new polymorph of an iron(II) Schiff base complex of tris­(2-amino­ethyl)methyl­ammonium with imidazole-2-carboxaldehyde. The octa­hedral FeII atom is bound to three facial imidazole N atoms with average Fe—Nimidazole and Fe—Nimine bond distances of 1.963 (5) and 1.951 (5) Å, respectively. The central N atom of the tripodal ligand is outside the bonding distance at 3.92 Å. The crystal packing is stabilized by the hydrogen-bonding inter­actions between the two water mol­ecules (acceptor) and two of the three imidazole NH groups (donor). The third imidazole NH group (donor) forms a hydrogen bond to one of the three perchlorate counter-ions (acceptor)
