N-(3-chlorophenyl) maleimide

The title compound, C10H6ClNO2, has a dihedral angle of 46.46 (5)degrees between the benzene and maleimide rings. A short intermolecular halogen-oxygen contact is observed, with a Cl center dot center dot center dot O distance of 3.0966 (13) angstrom. Both CO groups are involved in two C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions, which gives rise to sheets parallel to (100). In addition, these sheets exhibit a pi-pi stacking interaction between the benzene and maleimide rings [mean interplanar distance of 3.337 (3) angstrom].

4-(2,5-Dioxo-2,5-dihydro-1H-pyrrol-1-yl)benzoic acid: X-ray and DFT-calculated structure

In the title compound, C(11)H(7)NO(4), there is a dihedral angle of 45.80 (7)degrees between the planes of the benzene and maleimide rings. The presence of O-H...O hydrogen bonding and weak C-H...O interactions allows the formation of R (3) 3(19) edge-connected rings parallel to the (010) plane. Structural, spectroscopic and theoretical studies were carried out. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6-311 G(d,p) and 6-31++G(d,p) levels are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. Additional IR and UV theoretical studies allowed the presence of functional groups and the transition bands of the system to be identified.

2-(Phenylcarbonothioylsulfanyl)acetic acid

The title compound, C(9)H(8)O(2)S(2), can be used as a chain transfer agent and may be used to control the behavior of polymerization reactions. O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds of moderate character link the molecules into dimers. In the crystal, the dimers are linked into sheets by C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions, forming R(4)(2)(12) and R(2)(2)(8) edge-fused rings running parallel to [101]. There are no intermolecular interactions involving the S atoms.

3-Nitrophenol-4,4 '-bipyridyl N,N '-dioxide (2/1): a DFT study and CSD analysis of DPNO molecular complexes

The title 2:1 complex of 3-nitrophenol (MNP) and 4,4'-bipyridyl N, N'-dioxide (DPNO), 2C(6)H(5)NO(3)center dot C(10)H(8)N(2)O(2) or 2MNP center dot DPNO, crystallizes as a centrosymmetric three-component adduct with a dihedral angle of 59.40 (8)degrees between the planes of the benzene rings of MNP and DPNO (the DPNO moiety lies across a crystallographic inversion centre located at the mid-point of the C-C bond linking its aromatic rings). The complex owes its formation to O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds [O center dot center dot center dot O = 2.605 (3) angstrom]. Molecules are linked by intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot N interactions forming R(2)(1) (6) and R(2)(2) (10) rings, and R(6)(6) (34) and R(4)(4) (26) macro-rings, all of which are aligned along the [(1) over bar 01] direction, and R(2)(2) (10) and R(2)(1) (7) rings aligned along the [010] direction. The combination of chains of rings along the [(1) over bar 01] and [010] directions generates the three-dimensional structure. A total of 27 systems containing the DNPO molecule and forming molecular complexes of an organic nature were analysed and compared with the structural characteristics of the dioxide reported here. The N-O distance [1.325 (2) angstrom] depends not only on the interactions involving the O atom at the N-O group, but also on the structural ordering and additional three-dimensional interactions in the crystal structure. A density functional theory (DFT) optimized structure at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level is compared with the molecular structure in the solid state.

The title adduct, C(7)H(5)NO(4)center dot C(6)H(6)N(2)O(3), forms part of an ongoing study of the design of non-centrosymmetric systems based on 3-methy-4-nitropyridine 1-oxide. The components of the adduct are linked by intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The rings of the two components are nearly planar, with a dihedral angle of 11.9 (2)degrees between the planes. The supramolecular structure shows that molecules of the title complex are linked into sheets by a combination of strong O-H center dot center dot center dot O and weak C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.

Lupeol

The title compound [systematic name: 3 beta-lup-20(29)-en-3-ol], C(30)H(50)O, was isolated from the leaves of Garcinia brasiliensis (common name: bacupari; a member of the Guttiferae family) and has been shown to have many useful medicinal and biological properties.

Lupeol is isomorphic with the pentacyclic triterpene 3 beta,30-dihydroxylup-20(29)-ene, which differs from lupeol due to the presence of an additional hydroxy group. The crystal packing is stabilized by van der Waals interactions and intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, giving rise to an infinite helical chain along the c axis.

GLOBALIZATION OF TWISTED PARTIAL ACTIONS

Let A be a unital ring which is a product of possibly infinitely many indecomposable rings. We establish a criteria for the existence of a globalization for a given twisted partial action of a group on A. If the globalization exists, it is unique up to a certain equivalence relation and, moreover, the crossed product corresponding to the twisted partial action is Morita equivalent to that corresponding to its globalization. For arbitrary unital rings the globalization problem is reduced to an extendibility property of the multipliers involved in the twisted partial action.
