The reaction of aromatic ring-substituted isoselenocyanates with 2-thiopheacetic and 4-pyridinecarboxylic acid hydrazides yielded selenosemicarbazides which were further converted into previously unknown 1,2,4-triazole-3-selones and 3,3'-di(4H-1, 2,4-triazolyl)diselenides. The structures of the obtained compounds were studied by NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectroscopy (HR-MS). The bactericidal and fungicidal activity of some obtained compounds was evaluated in molecular modeling studies such as docking and simulation studies. The compound 3ba was reported as the most promising compound to show robust binding energy with different antibacterial and antifungal compounds. The compounds were observed in strong hydrophilic and hydrophobic interactions and remained in stable binding conformation with the receptor enzymes. Furthermore, the interatomic interaction energies were dominated by Van der Waals and electrostatic energies indicating the formation of stable complexes.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-[2-(3,5-di-methyl-phen-yl)hydrazinyl-idene]benzo-furan-2(3H)-one.

In the title compound, C16H14N2O2, the 2,3-di-hydro-1-benzo-furan ring system is essentially planar and makes a dihedral angle of 3.69 (7)° with the di-methyl-phenyl ring.

The synthesis and crystal structure of 2-(chloro-selan-yl)pyridine 1-oxide: the first monomeric organoselenenyl chloride stabilized by an intra-molecular secondary Se⋯O inter-action.

The title compound, C5H4ClNOSe, is the product of the reaction of sulfuryl chloride and 2-selanyl-1-pyridine 1-oxide in di-chloro-methane. The mol-ecule has an almost planar geometry (r.m.s. deviation = 0.012 Å), and its mol-ecular structure is stabilized by an intra-molecular secondary Se⋯O inter-action of 2.353 (3) Å, closing a four-membered N-C-Se⋯O ring. The title compound represents the first monomeric organoselenenyl chloride stabilized intra-molecularly by an inter-action of this type. The non-valent attractive Se⋯O inter-action results in a substantial distortion of the geometry of the ipso-carbon atom. The endo-cyclic N-C-Se [102.1 (3)°] and exo-cyclic C-C-Se [136.9 (3)°] bond angles deviate significantly from the ideal value of 120° for an sp2-hybridized carbon atom, the former bond angle being much smaller than the latter. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains propagating along [010]. The chains, which stack along the a-axis direction, are linked by offset π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid distance = 3.960 (3) Å], forming corrugated sheets parallel to the ab plane.

Crystal structure of rac-(3aR*,9aS*)-4,4,4-tri-chloro-1,2,3,3a,4,9a-hexa-hydro-4λ(5),9λ(4)-cyclo-penta-[4,5][1,3]tellurazolo[3,2-a]pyridine.

The title compound, C10H12Cl3NTe, crystallizes with two crystallographically independent mol-ecules (A and B) in the asymmetric unit. In each case, the coordination around the Te atom is distorted square-pyramidal, with the equatorial plane composed of the three Cl atoms and the C atom of the pyridinium ring. The Te atom is displaced from the mean-square plane by 0.1926 (7) and 0.1981 (8) Å, in mol-ecules A and B, respectivly, away from the apical C atom. The bond lengths from the Te atom to the two Cl atoms arranged trans to each other [2.5009 (7)/2.5145 (7) and 2.5184 (7)/2.5220 (8) Šin mol-ecules A and B, respectivly] are substan-ti-ally shorter than the third Te-Cl distance [2.8786 (7) and 2.8763 (7) Šin mol-ecules A and B, respectivly]. The 1,3-tellurazole ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviations of 0.042 and 0.045 Šin mol-ecules A and B, respectivly). The cyclopentane rings in both molecules A and B adopt envelope conformations with the carbon atom opposed to the (Te)C-C(N) bond as the flap. In the crystal, mol-ecules form centrosymmetric 2 + 2 associates via Te⋯Cl inter-actions [3.3993 (7) and 3.2030 (7) Å]. As a result of these secondary inter-actions, the Te atom attains a strongly distorted 5 + 1 octa-hedral environment. Further, the 2 + 2 associates are bound by weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional framework.

The hy-droxy group acts as a bifurcated hydrogen-bond donor, forming both intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds with ester carbonyl O atoms. The inter-molecular hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers in the crystal.

The oxacyclo-hexene ring adopts a half-chair conformation, the hy-droxy- and carboxyl-substituted C atoms lying -0.336 (1) and 0.419 (1) Å, respectively, out of the mean plane formed by the rest of the ring atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 Å). In the crystal, O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a chain along the c-axis direction.

The pyrazole ring is essentially planar [r.m.s deviation = 0.004 (2) Å]. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked into chains along the b axis by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The chains are linked by O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds into layers parallel to the bc plane.

rac-Ethyl 6-hy-droxy-6-methyl-3-oxo-4-phenyl-1,3,4,5,6,7-hexa-hydro-benzo[c][1,2]oxazole-5-carboxyl-ate.

In the title compound, C(17)H(19)NO(5), the cyclo-hexene ring is in a half-chair conformation and the isoxazole ring in an envelope conformation with the N atom as the flap. The C atoms in the 4- and 6-positions are of the same absolute configuration, whereas the C atom in the 5-position is of the opposite configuration, i.e. (4S*,5R*,6S*). The methyl fragment of the eth-oxy-carbonyl group at position 5 is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.60:0.40 ratio. The crystal packing displays inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

Self-assembly of a palladium complex formed from two U-shaped calixsalen molecules.

U-shaped calixsalens can be efficient building blocks for the construction of molecular boxes or cavitands. The first example of a calixsalen complex that has no coordination between the metal ion and phenolic oxygen atom was provided by X-ray. The resulting molecular structure has a high thermal stability, but completely degrades after the addition of DMSO.

2,25-Dioxo-27,28-diphenyl-30-oxa-29-thia-3,10,17,24-tetra-aza-penta-cyclo-[24.2.1.1.0.0]triaconta-5,7,9(4),10,12,14,16,18,20,22,26,28-dodeca-ene chloro-form disolvate.

The macrocycle of the title compound, C(36)H(24)N(4)O(3)S·2CHCl(3), contains a rigid framework with the nitro-gen and oxygen heteroatoms pointing in towards the center of the macrocyclic cavity. The macrocycle is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.027 Å) except for the thio-phene ring. The dihedral angle between the thio-phene ring plane and the mean plane of the central macrocyclic core including all atoms except sulfur is 21.6 (1)°. Four intra-molecular hydrogen bonds occur: two are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the Schiff base nitro-gen atoms, while the others are between the amide hydrogen atoms and the sulfur atom of the thio-phene. The two solvate chloro-form mol-ecules are bound to the carbonyl oxygen atoms of the ligand by weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding. In addition, the structure reveals inter-molecular Cl⋯Cl close contacts [3.308 (2), 3.404 (2) and 3.280 (2) Å] between the chloro-form solvate mol-ecules. In the crystal, the macrocycles form layers parallel to (101), with an inter-layer distance of 3.362 (3) Å. This short distance is determined by the stacking inter-actions between the amide carbonyl and imine fragments of neighboring ligands.

N,N'-Bis(2-amino-phen-yl)-3,4-diphenyl-thio-phene-2,5-dicarboxamide acetonitrile solvate.

In the title solvate, C(30)H(24)N(4)O(2)S·CH(3)CN, the substituted thiophene possesses approximate C(s)(m) intrinsic symmetry, with the mirror plane passing through the S atom and the mid-point of the (Ph)C-C(Ph) bond. Despite the main backbone of the mol-ecule being a long chain of conjugated bonds, it adopts a non-planar conformation due to the presence of various intra- and inter-molecular hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds result in twist configurations for both the amido and amino-phenyl fragments relative to the central thio-phene ring. There are two intra-molecular N(amine)-H⋯O hydrogen bonds within the thio-phene-2,5-dicarboxamide mol-ecule that form seven-membered rings. In the crystal, the thio-phene-2,5-dicarboxamide mol-ecules form inversion dimers by four amide-amine N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The dimers are further linked into layers propagating in (100) both directly (via N(amine)-H⋯O hydrogen bonds) and through the acetonitrile solvate mol-ecules (via amine-cyano N-H⋯N and C(Me)-H⋯O inter-actions).
