Creatininium 2-chloro-acetate

Synthesis, crystal structure determination and Hirshfeld surface analysis of three new salt forms of creatinine with hydrobromic acid, 3-aminobenzoic acid and 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid

Creatinine, a biologically important compound, is used to analyze kidney function and kidney diseases in the human body. The salt form of creatinine is used in the formation of drug materials like anti-HIV, antifungal, antiprotozoal, antiviral and antitumour compounds. Here we report the solid-state structures of three new crystalline salts, namely, creatininium (2-amino-1-methyl-4-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-3-ium) bromide, C4H8N3O+·Br−, (I), creatininium 3-aminobenzoate, C4H8N3O+·C7H6NO2 −, (II), and creatininium 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, C4H8N3O+·C7H3N2O6 −, (III). These salts have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The structural chemistry of salts (I)–(III) and their crystal packing are discussed in detail. The primary interaction between the creatinine cation and the acid anion in the three salts is N—H...Br/O hydrogen bonds. In salt (I), the creatinine cation and bromide anion are connected through a pair of N—H...Br hydrogen bonds forming R 4 2(8) and R 4 2(12) ring motifs. In salts (II) and (III), the creatinine cation interacts with the corresponding anion via a pair of N—H...O hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is further stabilized by C—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds with the ring motifs R 2 2(8), R 2 1(7) and R 2 1(6). Furthermore, the crystal structures are stabilized by π–π, C—H...π, C—O...π and N—O...π stacking interactions. The contributions made by each hydrogen bond in maintaining the crystal structure stability has been quantified by Hirshfeld surface analysis.

Experimental and Computational Perspectives on Bis(Creatininium) Succinate: An Efficient Organic Nonlinear Optical Material

In this work, combined experimental and computational investigations of a promising organic nonlinear optical (NLO) material, bis(creatininium) succinate (BCS), are reported. The optical quality single crystals of BCS were grown with the dimensions of 12×2×2 mm3. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that BCS crystallized in the orthorhombic system with non-centrosymmetric (NCS) space group F2dd. Vibrational modes of various BCS functional groups were confirmed by using FTIR and FT-Raman spectrum. UV-Vis-NIR spectrum shows that BCS crystal has low near-UV cut-off wavelength at 261 nm and optical transparency window in the visible and near-IR (261–1100 nm) region. Photoconductivity study has been carried out magnificently for grown crystals. The nonlinear optical property such as nonlinear refractive index (n2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) have been investigated by z-scan technique. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were carried out to probe Mulliken charge analysis, frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping and first order hyperpolarizability (β) for the optimized molecular structure. Experimental and computed vibrations were correlated well. All these characterization results endorse BCS as a suitable NLO candidate and are discussed in this work.

Bis(creatininium) 3-nitrophthalate monohydrate

In the title hydrated molecular salt, 2C4H8N3O+·C8H3NO62−·H2O, the dihedral angles between the benzene ring and the nitro group and the carboxylate groups are 48.0 (2), 55.3 (2) and 60.7 (2)°, respectively. In the crystal, the components are linked by N—H...O, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating a two-dimensional network parallel to (102).
