3-(2-Bromoacetyl)-6-fluoro-2H-chromen-2-one

The non-H atoms of the title compound, C(11)H(6)BrFO(3), are essentially coplanar (r.m.s. deviation for all non-H atoms = 0.074 angstrom). In the crystal, the molecules are linked by C-H center dot center dot center dot O and C-H center dot center dot center dot Br interactions.

Halogen Bonding and Structural Modularity in 2,3,4-and 3,4,5-Trichlorophenol

The crystal structure of 3,4,5-trichlorophenol contains hydrogen bonded domains that occur respectively in the structures of 4-chlorophenol and 3,5-dichlorophenol. Such modularity is also seen in 2,3,4-trichlorophenol. These structures, and those of the six isomeric dichlorophenols, illustrate the importance of halogen bonding as a structure determining interaction.

(1S*,3S*,8S*,10S*)-10-Fluoro-15-oxatetracyclo[6.6.1.0(1,10).0( 3,8)]pentadeca-5,12-dien-3-ol

The title compound, C(14)H(17)FO(2), was obtained from anti-4a, 9a:8a,10a-diepoxy-1,4,4a,5,8,8a, 9,9a, 10,10a-decahydroanthracene via tandem hydrogen-fluoride-mediated epoxide ring-opening and transannular oxacyclization. With the two cyclohexene rings folded towards the oxygen bridge, the title tetracyclic fluoroalcohol molecule displays a conformation reminiscent of a pagoda. The crystal packing is effected via intermolecular O-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds, which link the molecules into a zigzag chain along the b axis.

N-(2-Amino-3,5-dibromobenzyl)-N-methylcyclohexan-1-aminium p-toluenesulfonate

The title compound, C(14)H(21)Br(2)N(2)(+)center dot C(7)H(7)O(3)S, features a salt of protonated bromhexine, a pharmaceutical used in the treatment of respiratory disorders, and the p-toluenesulfonate anion. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O, N-H center dot center dot center dot Br and C-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds.

(2E)-1-(5-Chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one

In the title molecule, C(16)H(15)ClO(4)S, the chlorothiophene and trimethoxyphenyl rings make a dihedral angle of 31.12 (5)degrees. The C = C double bond exhibits an E conformation. In the crystal, C-H center dot center dot center dot O interactions generate bifurcated bonds, linking the molecules into chains along the b axis.

4-(4-Chlorophenyl)-N-[(E)-4-(dimethylamino)benzylidene]-1,3-thiazol-2- amine

The title compound, C(18)H(16)ClN(3)S, adopts an extended molecular structure. The thiazole ring is inclined by 9.2 (1) and 15.3 (1)degrees with respect to the chlorophenyl and 4-(dimethylamino)phenyl rings, respectively, while the benzene ring planes make an angle of 19.0 (1)degrees. A weak intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot pi contact is observed in the crystal structure.

3-Ethyl-4-methyl-1H-pyrazol-2-ium-5-olate

The title compound, C(6)H(10)N(2)O, is a zwitterionic pyrazole derivative. The crystal packing is predominantly governed by a three-center iminium-amine N(+)-H center dot center dot center dot O(-)center dot center dot center dot H-N interaction, leading to an undulating sheet-like structure lying parallel to (100).
