Abstract:
Cocrystals of 2,7-dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN, or naphthalene-2,7-diol) with isoniazid (pyridine-4-carbohydrazide) (INH), denoted DHN-INH [C10H8O2·C6H7N3O, (I)], and piracetam [2-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)acetamide] (PIR), denoted DHN-PIR [C10H8O2·C6H10N2O2, (II)], were obtained by the solvent-assisted grinding method and characterized by IR spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Cocrystal (I) crystallized in the triclinic space group P-1 and showed a 2:2 stoichiometry. DHN and INH molecules are connected by O-H...N(pyridine) and O-H...N(hydrazide) hydrogen bonds. Cocrystal (II) crystallized in the space group Pca21 with a 1:1 stoichiometry. DHN and PIR molecules are connected by O-H...O=C hydrogen bonds. The supramolecular architecture of cocrystal (I) showed interlinked supramolecular tapes; meanwhile, in cocrystal (II), interlinked supramolecular sheets were observed.

02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can...
02:52Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
02:42Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
01:11Nomenclature of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives: Amides and Nitriles
The IUPAC and common names of amides are derived from the parent carboxylic acid, by replacing the suffix “oic acid” and “ic acid,” respectively, with “amide.” In the following example, the IUPAC name ethanamide is derived from ethanoic acid, and the common name, acetamide, is obtained from acetic acid.

01:28Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the...
