New cocrystals of heterocyclic drugs: structural, antileishmanial, larvicidal and urease inhibition studies
Many heterocycles have been developed as drugs due to their capacity to interact productively with biological systems. The present study aimed to synthesize cocrystals of the heterocyclic antitubercular agent pyrazinamide (PYZ, 1, BCS III) and the commercially available anticonvulsant drug carbamazepine (CBZ, 2, BCS class II) to study the effect of cocrystallization on the stability and biological activities of these drugs. Two new cocrystals, namely, pyrazinamide – homophthalic acid (1/1) (PYZ:HMA, 3) and carbamazepine – 5-chlorosalicylic acid (1/1) (CBZ:5-SA, 4), were synthesized. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction...

Gradual evolution of hydrogen-bonding patterns with the carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide anion in a series of aliphatic diammonium salts
Developing the structures of organic materials that rely on the hydrogen bonding of multifunctional substrates is often complicated due to a competition between various possible motifs. In this context, the illustrative case of the carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide anion, [ONC(CN) – C(O)NH2] − , suggests sufficient control over the crystal lattice with a set of supramolecular synthons, which are specific to all the present nitroso, carbamoyl and cyano groups. The structures of the carbamoylcyanonitrosomethanide salts of ethane-1,2-diammonium, C2H10N22+ · 2C3H2N3O2 − , (1), piperazine-1,4-diium, C4H12N22+ · 2C3H2N3O2 â...

Structure determination of a bis[4-(di-n-butylamino)phenyl](pyridin-3-yl)borane tetramer highlighting a unique geometric conformation of the core 16-membered ring
The tetramer of bis(4-di-n-butylaminophenyl)(pyridin-3-yl)borane [systematic name: 2 λ 4,4 λ 4,6 λ 4,8 λ 4-tetrabora-1,3,5,7(1,3)-tetrapyridinacyclooctaphane-11,31,51,71-tetrakis(ylium)], C132H192B4N12, was synthesized unexpectedly and crystallized. Its structure contains an unusual 16-membered ring core made up of four (pyridin-3-yl)borane groups. The ring adopts a conformation with pseudo-S4 symmetry that is very different from the two other reported examples of this ring system. Density functional theory (DFT) computations indicate that the stability of the three reported ring conformations is dependent on the subst...

Clarifying the structures of imidines: using crystallographic characterization to identify tautomers and localized systems of π -bonding
Nitrogen heterocycles are a class of organic compounds with extremely versatile functionality. Imidines, HN[C(NH)R]2, are a rare class of heterocycles related to imides, HN[C(O)R]2, in which the O atoms of the carbonyl groups are replaced by N — H groups. The useful synthesis of the imidine compounds succinimidine and glutarimidine, as well as their partially hydrolyzed imino – imide congeners, was first described in the mid-1950s, though structural characterization is presented for the first time in this article. In the solid state, these structures are different from the proposed imidine form: succinimidine crystalli...

Synthesis and crystal structures of halogenated oxathiazolones and an unexpected propanamide
The known 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones with crystal structures reported in the Cambridge Structural Database are limited (13 to date) and this article expands the library to 15. In addition, convenient starting materials for the future exploration of 1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-ones are detailed. An unexpected halogenated propanamide has also been identified as a by-product of one reaction, presumably reacting with HCl generated in situ. The space group of 5-[(E)-2-chloroethenyl]-1,3,4-oxathiazol-2-one, C4H2ClNO2S, (1), is P21, with a high Z ′ value of 6; the space group of rac-2,3-dibromo-3-chloropropanamide, C3H4Br2ClNO, (2), is P21...

Pyridine-4-thiol as halogen-bond (HaB) acceptor: influence of the noncovalent interaction in its reactivity
The study of pyridine-4-thiol as a halogen-bond (HaB) acceptor has allowed the isolation of its cocrystal with the HaB donor IC6F4I, namely, 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene bis(pyridin-1-ium-4-ylsulfanide), C6F4I2 · 2C5H5NS (1), where the S atom is the HaB acceptor, while the pyridine position is blocked by the proton. Furthermore, the S atom acts a dual acceptor and also establishes an interaction with the pyridinium proton from an adjacent molecule. The presence of these interactions in 1 contributes to the stabilization of the zwitterionic form. This pre-organization seems to have an influence on the reactivity o...
