4-[3-(Isonicotino-yloxy)propoxycarbon-yl]pyridinium diiodidoargentate(I)
(2011)
- The structure of the title compound, (C15H15N2O4)[AgI2], consists of an organic 4-[3-(isonicotinoyloxy)propoxycarbonyl]pyridinium cation which has a gauche–gauche (O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C or GG’) conformation and lies on a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, and an inorganic [AgI2]− anion. In the complex anion, the Ag+ cation is bound to two I− anions in a linear geometry. The anion was modelled assuming disorder around a crystallographic inversion centre near the location of the Ag+ cation. The crystal packing is stabilized by a strong intermolecular N—H[cdots, three dots, centered]N hydrogen bond, which links the cations into zigzag chains with graph-set notation C(16) running along the face diagonal of the ac plane. The N-bound H atom is disordered over two equally occupied symmetry-equivalent sites, so that the molecule has a pyridinium ring at one end and a pyridine ring at the other.

A monoclinic modification of propane-1,3-diyl bis(pyridine-3-carboxylate)
(2011)
- In the title compound, C15H14N2O4, (I), the molecule lies on a twofold rotation axis which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, giving one half-molecule per asymmetric unit. The structure is a monoclinic polymorph of the triclinic structure previously reported [Brito, Vallejos, Bolte & López-Rodríguez (2010). Acta Cryst. E66, o792], (II). The most obvious difference between them is the O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C torsion angle [58.2 (7)° in (I) and 173.4 (3)/70.2 (3)° in (II) for GG and TG conformations, respectively]. Another important difference is observed in the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings [86.49 (7)° for (I) and 76.4 (3)° for (II)]. The crystal structure features a weak pi–pi interaction [centroid–centroid distance = 4.1397 (10)Å]; this latter kind of interaction is not evident in the triclinic polymorph.

Propane-1,3-diyl bis(pyridine-3-carboxylate)
(2010)
- The title compound, C15H14N2O4, has a trans–gauche [O/C/C/C–O/C/C/C] (TG) conformation. The angle between the planes of aromatic rings is 76.4 (3)°. The crystal structure is stabilized by van der Waals interactions and C—H ... O hydrogen bonds. The crystal used was a non-merohedral twin with a fractional contribution of the minor component of 0.443 (5).

Propane-1,3-diyl bis(pyridine-4-carboxylate)
(2010)
- The title compound. C15H14N2O4, (I), has a gauche–gauche (O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C or GG) conformation and is a positional isomer of propane-1,3-diyl bis(pyridine-3-carboxylate), (II). The molecule of (I) lies on a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the central C atom of the aliphatic chain, giving one half-molecule per asymmetric unit. There is excellent agreement of the geometric parameters of (I) and (II). The most obvious differences between them are the O/C/C/C—O/C/C/C torsion angles [56.6 (2)° in (I) and 174.0 (3)/70.2 (3)° in (II) for GG and TG conformations, respectively] and the dihedral angle between the planes of the aromatic rings [80.3 (10)° in (I) and 76.5 (3)° in (II)]. The crystal structure is stabilized by weak C—H ... N and C—H ... O hydrogen bonding.
