Cover illustration: Electron-deficient conjugated oligomers are inter­esting as electron-transporting mat­erials in organic electronics. The combination of rigid segments with flexible side chains may cause mesomorphism. 2,5-Bis[5-(3,5-dido­decyl­oxyphen­yl)-1,3,4-oxa­diazol-2-yl]-3,6-di­methyl­pyrazine was prepared via twofold acyl­ation of the di­alk­oxy­phenyl-tetra­zole with a pyrazinedi­carb­oxy­lic acid dichloride and thermal ring transformation. The nearly planar mol­ecule is centrosymmetric with two all-s-trans chains, the other two chains have an s-cis unit starting with the oxygen atoms. Alternating all-trans chains and those with the s-cis unit are inter­digitated. See: Joa, Schollmeyer & Detert [IUCrData (2023). 8, x230034].

The crystal structure of brasixanthone B, a naturally occurring xanthone isolated from the stem bark of Calophyllum gracilentum, is reported. The mol­ecule is characterized by a xanthone skeleton of three fused six-membered rings plus an additional fused pyrano ring and one 3-methyl­but-2-enyl side chain.

In the crystal of the title hydrazide, the mol­ecules are linked into (001) sheets by N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The title tetra­lone derivative crystallizes in the Sohncke space group P21 and features one mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, mol­ecules are hydrogen-bonded into infinite zigzag chains running parallel to [010].

The structure of the title compound, reported from powder diffraction data and 15N NMR spectroscopy, is confirmed using low-temperature data from a twinned crystal. The tautomer in the solid state is alloxazine (1H-benzo[g]pteridine-2,4-dione) rather than isoalloxazine (10H-benzo[g]pteridine-2,4-dione).

The organic cation in the title mol­ecular salt is found with a gauche arrangement for the terminal C—C—C—Cl grouping, which DFT calculations show is the stable conformation relative to anti.

The imidazolidine ring is slightly ruffled while the attached phenyl rings are rotated well out of its mean plane. In the crystal, N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form inversion dimers, which are connected into layers parallel to (101) by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The layers are connected into a three-dimensional network by additional C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions.

The crystal of the title compound is formed from layers built from centrosymmetric pairs of mol­ecules. The mol­ecule adopts a twist conformation with the carbons next to sulfur above or below the mean plane.
