In the title compound, [Cu(C12H11N2O4)2(C10H14N2O)2(H2O)2], the CuII atom lies on a center of inversion and is coordinated by carboxylate O atoms, pyridine N atoms and two water molecules in an elongated octahedral geometry. The pyridine ring is oriented at a dihedral angle of 74.83 (12)° with respect to the benzene ring. Intramolecular O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonding is observed. The water molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the carbonyl O atom of an adjacent carboxylate group, generating a chain running along the a axis. One of the ethyl groups is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.787 (5):0.213 ratio.

The CuII atom in the title compound, [Cu(C12H11N2O4)2(C10H14N2O)(H2O)]n, lies in a square plane defined by the O atoms of the carboxylate ions, the N atom of the N-heterocycle and the water molecule. Coordination by an amido O atom of an adjacent N-heterocycle in the apical direction leads to a polymeric chain running along [01]. The chain motif is consolidated by hydrogen bonds involving the water molecule; the water molecule is a hydrogen-bond donor to the free carbonyl atoms of the carboxylate ions. Intramolecular N—HO hydrogen bonds also occur.

The cyclohexene ring that constitutes a part of the tetrahydroxanthene fused-ring system of the title compound, C23H26O4, adopts a flattened half-chair conformation that approximates an envelope conformation (in which the methylene C atom bearing the two methyl substituents represents the flap) as five of the six atoms lie approximately on a plane (r.m.s. deviation = 0.020 Å). The mean plane of the cyclohexene ring with the hydroxy substituent is approximately perpendicular to the mean plane of the tetrahydroxanthene system. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked by O—HOcarbonyl hydrogen bonds into a chain running along the b axis.

In the title compound, C21H25NO3, the hydropyridine ring that constitutes a part of the hexahydroquinoline fused-ring system adopts a sofa conformation; the methine C atom deviates from the least-squares plane defined by the remaining five non-H atoms (r.m.s. deviation = 0.088 Å) by 0.454 (3) Å. The phenyl ring is aligned at 85.5 (1)° with respect to this mean plane. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked via an N—HO hydrogen bond, involving the amino group and the carbonyl O atom of the fused-ring system, forming chains running along [100]. The ethyl group is disordered over two positions in a 0.609 (6):0.391 (6) ratio.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C25H22N2O, contains two independent molecules (A and B), with significantly different conformations. In molecule A, the central imidazole ring makes dihedral angles of 88.26 (10) and 12.74 (11)° with the two phenyl rings, and 22.06 (9)° with the benzene ring. In molecule B, one of the phenyl rings is disordered over two sites, each having an occupancy of 0.5. Here the central imidazole ring forms dihedral angles of 79.24 (10)° with the ordered phenyl ring, and 3.5 (5) and 22.6 (5)° with the two parts of the disordered phenyl ring. The dihedral angle involving the benzene ring is 67.49 (10)°. The —N—C(H2)—C(H)—C(H2) torsion angles of the prop-1-ene group in the two molecules are very similar, 0.5 (3) and 1.3 (4)° for molecules A and B, respectively. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—Hπ interactions.
