(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)°]

Tramadolium picrate

In the title salt {systematic name: [2-hy­droxy-3-(3-meth­oxy­phen­yl)cyclo­hexyl­meth­yl]dimethyl­aza­nium 2,4,6-trinitro­phenol­ate}, C16H26NO2 +·C6H2N3O7 −, the cation is protonated at the N atom. The cyclo­hexane ring adopts a chair conformation with the hy­droxy substituent in an axial position. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into supra­molecular chains along [100]

2-Chloro-N-[4-chloro-2-(2-chloro­benzo­yl)phen­yl]acetamide

In the title compound, C15H10Cl3NO2, an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond forms a six-membered ring and enforces an almost coplanar conformation for the acetamido group, the central benzene ring and the bridging carbonyl C—C(=O)—C group: the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the acetamide and carbonyl C—C(=O)—C planes are 7.06 (11) and 7.17 (12)°, respectively. The dihedral angle between the two benzene rings is 67.43 (9)°. Because a strong hydrogen-bond donor is involved in the intra­molecular inter­action, the crystal packing is determined by weak C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl inter­actions

(1RS,6SR)-Ethyl 4,6-bis­(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxocyclo­hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl­ate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C21H18F2O3, the cyclo­hexene ring has a slightly distorted sofa conformation; the two benzene rings are inclined by 76.27 (8)° and their planes make dihedral angles of 16.65 (10) and 67.53 (7)° with the approximately planar part of the cyclo­hexenone ring [maximum deviation 0.044 (2) Å, while the sixth atom is displaced by 0.648 (3) Å from this plane]. In the crystal, weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯π inter­actions join mol­ecules into a three-dimensional structure

Ethyl N-(2-benzoyl-4-chloro­phen­yl)­ethane­carboximidate

In the title compound, C17H16ClNO2, the N=C—O—C—C fragment is planar within 0.029 (1) Å, and makes dihedral angles of 66.71 (8) and 59.61 (8)° with the planes of the chloro­phenyl and benzoyl rings, respectively. The carbonyl C=O bond is not coplanar with either of the aromatic rings; it makes angles of 42.5 and 23.5° with the normals to the ring planes. In the crystal, very weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Cl, C—H⋯π and π–π [inter­planar distance = 3.53 (1) Å] inter­actions are observed

(1RS,6SR)-Ethyl 4-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-6-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxocyclo­hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl­ate toluene hemisolvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C21H18ClFO3·0.5C7H8, the toluene solvent mol­ecules occupy special positions on centres of symmetry, and consequently are disordered across this site. The cyclo­hexene ring has a slightly distorted sofa conformation; the two benzene rings are inclined by 72.90 (7)° and their planes make dihedral angles of 30.09 (10) (chloro­phen­yl) and 88.13 (6)° (fluoro­phen­yl) with the approximately planar part of the cyclo­hexenone ring [maximum deviation from plane through five atoms is 0.030 (2) Å, the sixth atom is 0.672 (3)Å out of this plane]. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯X (X = F, Cl) inter­actions join mol­ecules into a three-dimensional structure. Also, a relatively short and directional C—Cl⋯F—C contact is observed [Cl⋯F = 3.119 (2) Å, C—Cl⋯F = 157.5 (2)° and C—F⋯Cl 108.3 (2)°]. The solvent mol­ecules fill the voids in the crystal structure and are kept there by relatively short and directional C—H⋯π inter­actions

(E)-3-(Biphenyl-4-yl)-1-(3-bromo­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title compound, C21H15BrO, there are two planar rings connected through a conjugated double bond. As it crystallizes in a non-centrosymmetric space group it can be regarded as a good candidate for non-linear optical applications. The mol­ecule adopts an E configuration and the C—C=C—C torsion angle is 177.1 (4)°. The overall conformation of the compound may be described by the values of dihedral angles between the approximately planar parts. The terminal rings are twisted by an angle of 51.52 (9)°, while the biphenyl part is almost planar, the dihedral angle between the planes of the rings being 4.44 (17)°. The unit cell has one long dimension, above 35 Å, characteristic also of a majority of related compounds. The mol­ecules pack head-to-tail along this direction. C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed in the crystal structure

(2E)-1-(4-Bromo­phen­yl)-3-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The title compound, C15H10BrFO, is isostructural with (2E)-1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-3-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one [Qiu et al. (2006 ▶). Acta Cryst. E62, o3525–o3526], but the structures of other dihalogen analogues, without fluorine, are different, although they are also isostructural within the series. The mol­ecule is approximately flat, the dihedral angle between the ring planes being 8.49 (13)°. In the crystal structure, inter­molecular C—H⋯O, C—H⋯F and C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link mol­ecules into V-shaped ribbons running parallel to [101] and stacked with an inter­planar distance of approximately 3.53 Å (centroid–vcentroid distance = 3.857 Å).

(1RS,6SR)-Ethyl 4-(2,4-dichloro­phen­yl)-6-(4-fluoro­phen­yl)-2-oxocyclo­hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl­ate

There are two symmetry-independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit of the title compound, C21H17Cl2FO3. Both these mol­ecules are very similar: the normal probability plots for bond lengths, angles and even for torsion angles show that the differences are of a statistical nature. A pseudocentre of symmetry is located between the symmetry-independent mol­ecules at [0.245 (1), 0.535 (19), 0.909 (1)]. The cyclo­hexene rings have slightly distorted sofa conformations in both mol­ecules and the two benzene rings are inclined by dihedral angles of 61.33 (14) and 62.85 (14)°. In the crystal, relatively short inter­molecular C—H⋯O inter­actions join mol­ecules into homomolecular (i.e. ⋯AAA⋯ and ⋯BBB⋯) chains along the b axis. These chains are inter­connected by further heteromolecular C—H⋯O inter­actions
