TL;DR: Good-quality single crystals of the title compound, indigo B, have been prepared with high selectivity by a sublimation process and more realistic geometrical parameters and modern standards of precision are reported.
Abstract: Good-quality single crystals of the title compound, indigo B [systematic name: 2-(3-oxoindolin-2-yl­idene)indolin-3-one], C16H10N2O2, have been prepared with high selectivity by a sublimation process. The previous structure of indigo B [Susse & Wolf (1980). Naturwissenschaften, 67, 453], which showed that the complete mol­ecule is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry has been confirmed, but the present study reports more realistic geometrical parameters and modern standards of precision (e.g. σ for C—C bonds = 0.002–0.003 A). Each mol­ecule features two intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal, mol­ecules are linked by strong face-to-face π–π stacking inter­actions involving both the six- and five-membered rings [centroid–centroid separations = 3.6290 (14) and 3.6506 (14) A] and inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

TL;DR: The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of synthetic naumannite [disilver(I) selenide], Ag2Se, has been reinvestigated based on single-crystal data and in comparison with previous powder diffraction studies, anisotropic displacement parameters are additionally reported.
Abstract: The crystal structure of the low-temperature form of synthetic naumannite [disilver(I) selenide], Ag2Se, has been reinvestigated based on single-crystal data. In comparison with previous powder diffraction studies, anisotropic displacement parameters are additionally reported. The structure is composed of Se layers and two crystallographically independent Ag atoms. One Ag atom lies close to the Se layer and is surrounded by four Se atoms in a distorted tetra­hedral coordination, while the second Ag atom lies between the Se layers and exhibits a [3 + 1] coordination defined by three close Se atoms, forming a trigonal plane, and one remote Se atom.

TL;DR: The title compound, AgMg3(PO4)(HPO4)2, which has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method, has an alluaudite-like structure which is formed by edge-sharing MgO6 octahedra resulting in chains linked together by phosphate groups and hydrogen bonds.
Abstract: The title compound, AgMg3(PO4)(HPO4)2, which has been synthesized by the hydro­thermal method, has an alluaudite-like structure which is formed by edge-sharing MgO6 octa­hedra (one of which has symmetry 2), resulting in chains linked together by phosphate groups and hydrogen bonds. The three-dimensional framework leads to two different channels along the c axis, one of which is occupied by Ag+ ions with a square-planar coordination. The Ag+ ions are disordered over two sites in a 0.89 (3):0.11 (3) ratio. The OH groups, which point into the other type of channel, are involved in strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The title compound is isotypic with the compounds AM3H2(XO4)(HXO4)2 (A = Na or Ag, M = Mn, Co or Ni, and X = P or As) of the alluaudite structure type.

TL;DR: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C7H6BFO2, a broad-spectrum antifungal drug, the planar molecules form centrosymmetric R 2 2(8) dimers via strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which build up the three-dimensional structure.
Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, C7H6BFO2, a broad-spectrum anti­fungal drug (AN2690), the planar [maximum deviation 0.035 (1) A] mol­ecules form centrosymmetric R22(8) dimers via strong O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The dimers are arranged into layers by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds. The symmetry of this two-dimensional supra­molecular assembly can be described by the layer group p\overline{1} and topologically classified as a simple uninodal four-connected two-dimensional network of a (4.4.4.4.6.6) topology. Further weak C—H⋯O inter­actions build up the three-dimensional structure.

TL;DR: The dihydropyridine ring in the title compound, C25H31NO4, adopts an envelope conformation with the methine C atom representing the flap, and the cyclohexenone rings also adopt envelope conformations with the C atoms bearing the methyl C atoms representing the flaps.
Abstract: The dihydro-pyridine ring in the title compound, C(25)H(31)NO(4), adopts an envelope conformation with the methine C atom representing the flap. The cyclo-hexenone rings also adopt envelope conformations with the C atoms bearing the methyl C atoms representing the flaps.

Abstract: In the structure of title compound, [Cs2(C7H5N2O4)2(H2O)2]n, the asymmetric unit contains two independent Cs atoms comprising different coordination polyhedra.

The CsO6N coordination polyhedron comprises the two bridging water mol­ecules, one amine N-atom donor, one carboxyl­ate O-atom donor and four O-atom donors from nitro groups (two from the chelate bridges). The extension of the dimeric unit gives a three-dimensional polymeric structure, which is stabilized by both intra- and inter­molecular amine N—H⋯O and water O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds to carboxyl­ate O-atom acceptors, as well as inter-ring π–π inter­actions [minimum ring centroid–centroid separation = 3.4172 (15) A].

Abstract: The title compound, C56H83N9O11S·2C4H10O·H2O, is a butanol–water solvate of the cyclo­linopeptide cyclo(Metsulfone1-Leu2–Ile3–Pro4–Pro5–Phe6–Phe7–Val8–Ile9) (henceforth referred to as CLP-K) which was isolated from flax oil.

The cyclic nona­peptide exhibits eight trans peptide bonds and one cis peptide bond observed between the two proline residues. The conformation is stabilized by an α- and a β-turn, each containing an N—H⋯O hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group O atom of the first residue and the amide group H atom of the fourth (α-turn) and the third residue (β-turn), repectively. In the crystal, the components of the structure are linked by inter­molecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). The –C(H2)OH group of one of the butanol solvent mol­ecules is disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.863 (4) and 0.137 (4).

TL;DR: The title compound, Ag2Ni3(HPO4)(PO4)2, has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method and its structure is formed by two types of chains running along the b axis, formed by a linear and continuous succession of NiO6 octahedra linked to PO4 tetrahedra by a common vertex.
Abstract: The title compound, Ag2Ni3(HPO4)(PO4)2, has been synthesized by the hydro­thermal method. Its structure is formed by two types of chains running along the b axis. The first chain results from a linear and continuous succession of NiO6 octa­hedra linked to PO4 tetra­hedra by a common vertex. The second chain is built up from two adjacent edge-sharing octa­hedra (dimers) whose ends are linked to two PO4 tetra­hedra by a common edge. Those two types of chains are linked together by the phosphate groups to form polyhedral sheets parallel to the (001) plane. The three-dimensional framework delimits two types of hexa­gonal tunnels parallel to the a-axis direction, at (x, 1/2, 0) and (x, 0, 1/2), where the Ag atoms are located. Each silver cation is surrounded by eight O atoms. The same Ag+ coordination is found in other phosphates with the alluaudite structure, for example, AgMn3(PO4)(HPO4)2. Moreover, O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link three PO4 tetra­hedra so as to build a three-dimensional network.

TL;DR: A new crystalline form of 2,6-dimethoxybenzoic acid, C9H10O4, crystallizing in a tetragonal unit cell has been identified during screening for co-crystals, and the asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar independent molecule with a synplanar conformation of the carboxy group.
Abstract: A new crystalline form of 2,6-dimeth­oxy­benzoic acid, C9H10O4, crystallizing in a tetra­gonal unit cell has been identified during screening for co-crystals. The asymmetric unit comprises a non-planar independent mol­ecule with a synplanar conformation of the carb­oxy group. The sterically bulky o-meth­oxy substituents force the carb­oxy group to be twisted away from the plane of the benzene ring by 65.72 (15)°. The carb­oxy group is disordered over two sites about the C—C bond [as indicated by the almost equal C—O distances of 1.254 (3) and 1.250 (3) A], the occupancies of the disordered carboxym H atoms being 0.53 (5) and 0.47 (5). In the known ortho­rhom­bic form reported by Swaminathan et al. [Acta Cryst. (1976), B32, 1897–1900], due to the anti­planar conformation adopted by the OH group, the mol­ecular components are associated in the crystal in chains stabilized by linear O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. However, in the new tetra­gonal polymorph, mol­ecules form dimeric units via pairs of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carb­oxy groups.

TL;DR: In the non-centrosymmetric structure of the title compound, (C5H7N2), an extensive three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds involving all the water molecules, the 4-aminopyridinium cation and some of the oxalate O atoms contributes to the stabilization of the structure.
Abstract: In the non-centrosymmetric structure of the title compound, (C5H7N2)[Cr(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·H2O, the CrIII ion has a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination environment defined by two chelating oxalato ligands in equatorial positions and two water mol­ecules in axial positions. An extensive three-dimensional network of hydrogen bonds involving all the water mol­ecules, the 4-amino­pyridinium cation and some of the oxalate O atoms contributes to the stabilization of the structure. π–π inter­actions between adjacent pyridine rings provide additional stability of the crystal packing, with a closest distance between pyridine mean planes of 3.613 (1) A.
