Influence of ortho-substituent on the molecular and crystal structures of 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamide: isotypic and polymorphic structures.

During a comprehensive study of a series of 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamides with the aryl group substituted in the ortho-position by either a halogen atom, a methyl group or a methoxy group, the existence of three groups of isotypic crystal structures has been revealed. The similarity of crystal structures belonging to the same groups was confirmed by the analysis based on the comparison of pairwise interactions energies obtained from quantum chemical calculations. Group I includes unsubstituted, methyl-substituted and polymorphic modification 1 of fluoro-substituted 2-(N-arylimino)coumarin-3-carboxamide.

Polymorphism of 3-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)- and 3-[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-2H-chromen-2-ones.

This study of 3-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)-2H-chromen-2-one, CHNO, 1, and 3-[5-(pyridin-4-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl]-2H-chromen-2-one, CHNO, 2, was performed on the assumption of the potential anticancer activity of the compounds. Three polymorphic structures for 1 and two polymorphic structures for 2 have been studied thoroughly. The strongest intermolecular interaction is stacking of the `head-to-head' type in all the studied crystals.

Three polymorphs of 3-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one formed from different solvents.

The polymorphic study of 3-(3-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, CHNO, was performed due to its potential biological activity and revealed three polymorphic modifications in the triclinic space group P-1, the monoclinic space group P2 and the orthorhombic space group Pbca. These polymorphs have a one-column layered type of crystal organization. The strongest interactions between the molecules of the studied structures is stacking between π-systems, while N-H.
