In the title compound, C10H4Br2O3, the atoms of the 6,8-di-bromo-chromone unit are essentially coplanar [largest deviation from the mean planes = 0.1109 (3) Å] and the formyl group is twisted slightly with respect to the attached ring [C-C-C-O torsion angles = 11.5 (4) and -168.9 (3)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked to each other through halogen bonds [Br⋯O = 3.118 (2) Å, C-Br⋯O = 162.3...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [ZnBr(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(C(2)H(6)OS)], the Zn(II) atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from one 2,2'-bipyridine, one O atom from one dimethyl-sulfoxide molecule and two Br atoms. Inter-molecular π-π stacking between parallel pyridine rings [face-to-face distance 3.32 (4) Å] and C-H⋯Br and C-H⋯O hydrogen-...

The title compound, C17H14Cl4N5OP3, is a spiro-phosphazene derivative with bulky naphthalene and pyridine rings. The phosphazene and the six-membered N/O rings are in flattened-boat and twisted-boat conformations, respectively. The naphthalene ring system and the pyridine ring are oriented at a dihedral angle of 18.06 (8)°. In the crystal, weak π-π stacking between the pyridine rings and betwee...

The title compound, 5-(4,5-dimethylthio-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3-diaza-2,4,6-trithiapentalene (4,5-dimethylthio [1,2,5]thiadiazolotetrathiafulvalene, molecular formula C(8)H(6)N(2)S(7)) crystallizes in the P2(1)/n space group with one molecule in the asymmetric unit. The molecular framework is planar within 0.19 A. The molecules form a head-to-tail type of pi-stacking dimer with an interplana...

Short single-stranded nucleic acids are ubiquitous in biological processes; understanding their physical properties provides insights to nucleic acid folding and dynamics. We used small-angle x-ray scattering to study 8-100 residue homopolymeric single-stranded DNAs in solution, without external forces or labeling probes. Poly-T's structural ensemble changes with increasing ionic strength in a ...

The title compound, C(8)H(4)Br(3)NO(4), shows an extensive hydrogen-bond network. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into chains by COO-H...O bonds, and pairs of chains are connected by additional COO-H...O bonds. This chain bundle shows stacking interactions and weak N-H...O hydrogen bonds with adjacent chain bundles. The three Br atoms present in the molecule form an equilateral t...
