In the title compound, C17H15ClN2O2, the benzene rings form dihedral angles of 89.56 (5) and 5.87 (5)° with the mean plane of the pyrazoline ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.084 Å). The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 87.57 (5)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a helical chain along the c axis.

In the title compound, C23H22N2O2, the central pyrazole ring is nearly planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.046 Å) and it makes a dihedral angle of 18.5 (2)° with the phenyl ring. The dihedral angles between the phenyl and the two meth­oxy-substituted phenyl rings are 26.2 (2) and 80.6 (2)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H⋯π stacking inter­actions and weak π–π inter­actions [centriod–centroid distance = 3.891 (2) Å]

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

In the title compound, C19H13ClO, the benzene ring and the naphthalene system, are twisted by 12.3 (3) and 36.1 (2)°, respectively, and in opposite directions with respect to the central propenone bridge. The bond-angle pattern within the benzene ring is influence by both substituents; these influences are almost additive. In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions

1-Methyl­piperazine-1,4-diium dipicrate

In the crystal structure of the title compound [systematic name: 1-methyl­piperazine-1,4-diium bis­(2,4,6-trinitro­phen­ol­ate)], C5H14N2 2+·2C6H2N3O7 −, the ionic components are connected by relatively strong N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into centrosymmetric six-membered conglomerates, which comprise two dications and four anions. Besides Coulombic inter­actions, only weak C—H⋯O inter­actions and some stacking between picrates (separation between the planes of ca. 3.4 Å but only a small overlapping) can be identified between these ‘building blocks’ of the crystal structure. The piperazine ring adopts a chair conformation with the methyl substituent in the equatorial position. In the picrate anions, the twist angles of the nitro groups depend on their positions relative to the phenolate O atom: it is much smaller for the NO2 groups para to the C—O− group [15.23 (9)and 3.92 (14)°] than for the groups in the ortho positions [28.76 (13)–39.84 (11)°]

A weak C—H⋯Br inter­molecular inter­action contributes to the crystal packing, creating a chain-like structure along the a axis
