(C8H7N2O2)2[Bi2Br8]·2H2O and (C8H7N2O2)6[Bi2Cl10]Cl2·2H2O: Exploring Birefringent Crystals in Hybrid Halide Systems

In this study, new hybrid birefringent crystals of (C8H7N2O2)2[Bi2Br8]·2H2O and (C8H7N2O2)6[Bi2Cl10]Cl2·2H2O were successfully synthesized by introducing a new birefringent group [C8H7N2O2]+ by a simple aqueous solution evaporation method. They crystallize in the P21/n space group, and their structure consists mainly of the π-conjugated group [C8H7N2O2]+ and the octahedron centered on Bi3+. By first-principles calculations, the birefringence response comes from the [C8H7N2O2]+ group with a planar π-conjugated structure. Meanwhile, the synthesis, structure, first-principles calculations, and optical properties are reported in this paper.

New Organic-Inorganic Salt Based on Fluconazole Drug: TD-DFT Benchmark and Computational Insights into Halogen Substitution

In this study, we report the synthesis of a new organic–inorganic molecular salt of the clinically used antifungal drug fluconazole, (H2Fluconazole).SnCl₆.2H₂O. By detailed investigation and analysis of its structural properties, we show that the structure represents a 0D structure built of alternating organic and inorganic zig-zag layers along the crystallographic c-axis and the primary supramolecular synthons in this salt are hydrogen bonding, F···π and halogen bonding interactions. Magnetic measurements reveal the co-existence of weak ferromagnetic behavior at low magnetic field and large diamagnetic contributions, indicating that the synthesized material behaves mainly as a diamagnetic material, with very low magnetic susceptibility and with a band gap energy of 3.6 eV, and the salt is suitable for semiconducting applications. Extensive theoretical study is performed to explain the acceptor donor reactivity of this compound and to predict the Cl-substitution effect by F, Br and I. The energy gap, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) and the different chemical reactivity descriptors were evaluated at a high theoretical level. Calculations show that Cl substitution by Br and I generates compounds with more important antioxidant ability and the intramolecular charge transfer linked to the inorganic anion.

Two 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium salts containing organic anions, and an ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium nitrate

Co-crystallization from methanol of 3-amino-1H-pyrazole with 3,5-di-nitro-benzoic acid produces 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium 3,5-di-nitro-benzoate monohydrate, C3H6N3 +·C7H3N2O6 -·H2O, (I), while similar co-crystallization of this pyrazole with an equimolar qu-antity of fumaric acid produces bis-(3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium) fumarate-fumaric acid (1/1), 2C3H6N3 +·C4H2O4 2-·C4H4O4, (II). The reaction of 3-amino-1H-pyrazole with a dilute solution of nitric acid in methanol yields a second, ortho-rhom-bic polymorph of 3-amino-1H-pyrazol-2-ium nitrate, C3H6N3 +·NO3 -, (III). In each of (I)-(III), the bond distances in the cation provide evidence for extensive delocalization of the positive charge. In each of (I) and (II), an extensive series of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds links the components into complex sheets, while in the structure of (III), the ions are linked by multiple N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional arrangement. Comparisons are made with the structures of some related compounds.

Crystal structure, optical property and Hirshfeld surface analysis of bis-[1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium] hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV)

A new 0D organic-inorganic hybrid material bis-[1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium] hexa-chlorido-stannate(IV), (C6H9N2)2[SnCl6], has been prepared and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Hirshfeld surface analysis and UV-visible spectroscopy. The structure consists of isolated [SnCl6]2- octa-hedral anions separated by layers of organic 1-(prop-2-en-1-yl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium cations. The 1-(prop-2-en-1-yl) fragment in the organic cation exhibits disorder over two sets of atomic sites having occupancies of 0.512 (9) and 0.488 (9). The crystal packing of the title compound is established by inter-molecular N/C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond and π- π stacking inter-actions. Hirshfeld surface analysis employing three-dimensional mol-ecular surface contours and two-dimensional fingerprint plots has been used to analyse the inter-molecular inter-actions present in the structure. The optical properties of the crystal were studied using UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, showing one intense band at 208 nm, which is attributed to π-π* transitions in the cations.
