(1E,2E)-1,2-Bis(2,2-diphenyl­hydrazin-1-yl­idene)ethane

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C26H22N4, the mol­ecule is located on an inversion centre and shows an E configuration with respect to each C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the phenyl rings in the diphenyl­hydrazone group is 83.69 (11)°. These two rings make dihedral angles of 30.53 (15) and 84.53 (16)° with the central N—N=C—C=N—N dihydrazonoethane plane. Inter­molecular C—H⋯π inter­actions are observed

[1,2-Bis­(diisopropyl­phosphan­yl)ethane-κ2 P,P′]dichloridonickel(II)–9H-carbazole (1/2)

In the title compound, [NiCl2(C14H32P2)]·2C12H9N, the neutral [Ni(dppe)Cl2] complex [dppe is 1,2-bis­(diisopropyl­phosphan­yl)ethane] consists of a tetracoordinated Ni2+ cation and has a crystallographic twofold axis passing through the metal atom and the mid-point of the CH2—CH2 bond of the dppe ligand. The metal atom shows slight tetra­hedral distortion from an ideal square-planar coordination geometry, as reflected in the dihedral angle between NiCl2 and NiP2 planes of 15.32 (2)°. The 9H-carbazole ring system is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.022 Å). In the crystal packing, there are two symmetry-related 9H-carbazole mol­ecules between two adjacent NiII complexes, with an angle between the carbazole mean planes of ca 77°

1,3-Bis[(−)-(S)-(1-phenyl­eth­yl)imino­meth­yl]benzene

The title compound, C24H24N2, is an enanti­omerically pure bis-aldimine, which displays twofold crystallographic symmetry, with two C atoms of the central benzene ring lying on the symmetry axis. The imine group is slightly twisted from the benzene core, with a dihedral angle of 12.72 (16)° between the benzene ring and the C=N—C* plane. The terminal phenyl rings make an angle of 66.44 (4)° and are oriented in opposite directions with respect to the benzene ring. In the crystal, mol­ecules inter­act weakly through a C—H⋯π inter­action involving the phenyl rings, and form chains along the 21 screw-axis in the [100] direction

[1,2-Bis­(diisopropyl­phosphan­yl)ethane-κ2 P,P′]dichloridonickel(II)

In the crystal structure of title compound, [NiCl2(C14H32P2)], the NiII atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and shows a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry, with a dihedral angle of 10.01 (8)° between the cis-Cl—Ni—Cl and cis-P—Ni—P planes. There is no significant inter­molecular inter­action except very weak C—H⋯Cl inter­actions. The crystal studied was a racemic twin

2-(1,3-Thia­zol-4-yl)benzimidazolium nitrate monohydrate

In the title compound, C10H8N3S+·NO3 −·H2O, one of the N atoms of the benzimidazole unit is protonated, unlike than that in the thia­zole group. This protonation leads to equalization of the bond angles at the two N atoms of the benzimidazole group. The benzimidazole and thia­zole systems are almost coplanar, forming a dihedral angle of 0.5 (2)°. In the crystal, the nitrate anion and water mol­ecule bridge the thia­bendazolium cations through N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to a supra­molecular network based on an infinite one-dimensional chain using [001] as base vector

N-Crotylphthalimide

In the title compound {systematic name: 2-[(E)-but-2-en-1-yl]isoindoline-1,3-dione}, C12H11NO2, the phthalimide ring system is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.008 (1) Å, while the plane of the N-crotyl substituent is orthogonal to the phthalimide ring system, making a dihedral angle of 87.5 (1)°

Aqua­(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)(valinato-κ2 N,O)copper(II) nitrate dihydrate

In the title compound, [Cu(C5H10NO2)(C12H8N2)(H2O)]NO3·2H2O, the CuII atom displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination (τ = 0.03) where the water mol­ecule occupies the apical position and the base is defined by the N atom, one of the O atoms from the valinate ligand, and both phenanthroline N atoms. The phenanthroline chelate ring plane is slightly distorted from planarity (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0057 Å), whereas the five-membered ring formed by the valinate ligand presents an envelope conformation with the N atom being the flap atom. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions, creating a three-dimensional network superstructure

Aqua­[1,8-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)-3,6-dithia­octane-κ4 N,S,S′,N′]copper(II) dinitrate acetonitrile monosolvate

In the title compound, [Cu(C16H20N2S2)(H2O)](NO3)2·CH3CN, the CuII atom displays a distorted square-pyramidal coordination, in which a water mol­ecule occupies the apical position and the basal plane is formed by two N atoms and two S atoms of a 1,8-bis­(pyridin-2-yl)-3,6-dithia­octane ligand. The crystal packing is stabilized by O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds

4,4′-[(2R*,3R*,4R*,5R*)-3,4-Dimethyltetrahydrofuran-2,5-diyl]diphenol

The title mol­ecule, C(18)H(20)O(3), is a furan­oid lignan extracted from the leaves of Larrea tridentata. The relative absolute configuration for the four chiral centers was established, showing that this compound is 4-epi-larreatricin, which has been previously reported in the literature. The mol­ecule displays noncrystallographic C (2) symmetry, with the methyl and phenol substituents alternating above and below the mean plane of the furan ring. The conformation of this ring is described by the pseudorotation phase angle P = 171.3° and the maximum out-of-plane pucker ν(m) = 37.7°. These parameters indicate that the furan ring adopts the same conformation as the ribose residues in B-DNA. The packing is dominated by inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The phenol hy­droxy groups form chains in the [110] direction and these chains inter­act via O—H⋯O(furan) contacts
