Synthesis and crystal structure of bis-(2-aminobenzimidazolium) catena-[metavanadate(V)].

The structure of polymeric catena-poly[2-amino-benzimidazolium [[dioxidovanadium(V)]-µ-oxido]], {(C7H8N3)2[V2O6]} n , has monoclinic symmetry. The title compound is of inter-est with respect to anti-cancer activity. In the crystal structure, infinite linear zigzag vanadate (V2O6)2- chains, constructed from corner-sharing VO4 tetra-hedra and that run parallel to the a axis, are present. Two different protonated 2-amino-benzimidazole mol-ecules are located between the (V2O6)2- chains and form classical N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the vanadate oxygen atoms, which contribute to the cohesion of the structure.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations of 7-bromo-2,3-di-hydro-pyrrolo[2,1-b]quinazolin-9(1H)-one.

The mol-ecular structure of the title compound, C11H9BrN2O, is almost planar. The benzene and pyrimidine rings are essentially coplanar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.0130 Å, and the largest displacement is for the flap atom of the di-hydro-pyrrole moiety [0.154 (7) Å]. Hirshfeld surface analyses revealed that the crystal packing is dominated by H⋯H, Br⋯H/H⋯Br and O⋯H/H⋯O inter-actions, and Br⋯Br inter-actions in the crystal structure are also observed. Theoretical calculations using density functional theory (DFT) with the B3LYP functional basis set gave numerical parameters for the frontier molecular orbitals.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-methyl-4-oxo-N-phenyl-3,4-di-hydro-quinazoline-2-carbo-thio-amide.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C16H13N3OS, comprises two mol-ecules (A and B) with similar conformations that differ mainly in the orientation of the phenyl group relative to the rest of the mol-ecule, as expressed by the Cthio-amide-Nthio-amide-Cphen-yl-Cphen-yl torsion angle of 49.3 (3)° for mol-ecule A and of 5.4 (3)° for mol-ecule B. In the crystal, two inter-molecular N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a dimer with R 2 2(10) graph-set notation. A Hirshfeld surface analysis revealed that H⋯H inter-actions are the most important inter-molecular inter-actions, contributing 40.9% to the Hirshfeld surface.

Structural insight from intermolecular interactions and energy framework analyses of 2-substituted 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-ones.

The crystal structures of three mackinazolinone derivatives (2-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one at room temperature, and 2-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one and N-(11-oxo-6,8,9,11-tetrahydro-7H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-2-yl)benzamide at 100 K) are explored using X-ray crystallography. To delineate the different intermolecular interactions and the respective interaction energies in the crystal architectures, energy framework analyses were carried out using the CE-B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method implemented in the CrystalExplorer software. In the structures the different molecules are linked by C-H...O, C-H...N and N-H...O hydrogen bonds. Together with these hydrogen bonds, C-H...π and C-O...π interactions are involved in the formation of a three-dimensional crystal network. A Hirshfeld surface analysis allows the visualization of the two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the quantification of the contributions of H...H, H...C/C...H and H...O/O...H contacts throughout the different crystal structures. To obtain additional information on the intrinsic properties of our targets and to compare the experimental crystal structures with their respective conformations in the gas phase, quantum chemical calculations at the B3LYP-D3BJ/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory, including Grimme's D3 correction term and BJ damping functions, were carried out to account for intramolecular dispersion interactions. The identified energy gaps between the highest occupied and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbitals (HOMO-LUMO gap) of our targets in the gas phase and in two implicit solvents (methanol and dimethyl sulfoxide) allow us to quantify the impact of different substituents on the reactivity of mackinazolinone derivatives.

Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bis-(6,7,8,9-tetra-hydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-5-ium) tetra-chlorido-zincate.

The title compound, (C12H15N2)2[ZnCl4], is a salt with two symmetrically independent, essentially planar heterocyclic cations and a slightly distorted tetra-hedral chloro-zincate dianion. N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link these ionic constituents into a discrete aggregate, which comprises one formula unit. The effect of hydrogen bonding is reflected in the minor distortions of the [ZnCl4]2- moiety: distances between the cation and chlorido ligands engaged in classical hydrogen bonds are significantly longer than the others. Secondary inter-actions comprise C-H⋯π hydrogen bonding and weak π-π stacking. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most abundant contacts in packing stem from H⋯H (47.8%) and Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl (29.3%) inter-actions.
