Abstract: A series of functionalized malonic acid half-ester derivatives (parent compound MHE-1), with variations in functional groups at different positions on the aromatic ring, have been synthesized and crystal structures are determined at room temperature (296 K). The methyl (4-CH3, MHE-2) and chloro (4-Cl, MHE-3) derivatives are isomorphous with each other. The overall crystal packing of MHE-1–3 is similar. However, there are few differences observed between stacking of layers in these structures. Compounds with nitro (3-NO2, MHE-4) and ethyl ester (2-COOC2H5, MHE-5) substituents crystallize in different space groups and thus crystal packing is different when compared to MHE-1–3. In all the structures, intramolecular N–H…O and O–H…O hydrogen bonds generate a two fused S(6) ring motif. A detailed study is carried out to visualize intermolecular interactions observed in all five crystal structures (MHE-1–5) using Hirshfeld surface (HS) analysis with two dimensional fingerprint plots. The relative contribution of intermolecular H…H contacts in MHE-3 is substantially lower than that in MHE-1–2, though similar crystal packing arrangements of MHE-1–3 and MHE-2 and MHE-3 are isomorphous. From HS analysis it is clear that the observed H…H contact contribution (MHE-3) is a consequence of the presence of the chlorine substituent and growing contribution of Cl…H contacts. The relative contributions of other intermolecular contacts involving various atoms are comparable in MHE-1–3 structures. The intermolecular interaction energies are quantified using PIXEL for various molecular pairs extracted from respective crystal structures. Interestingly, there are some invariant and variable intermolecular contacts observed between different groups in all five structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
