title: Three substituted (E)-3-aryl-2-(thienyl)acrylonitriles: isolated molecules, simple hydrogen-bonded chains and hydrogen-bonded sheets.
abstract: The structure of (E)-2-(2-thienyl)-3-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile, C16H15NO3S, contains no direction-specific intermolecular interactions. The molecules of (E)-3-(4-bromophenyl)-2-(2-thienyl)acrylonitrile, C13H8BrNS, exhibit orientational disorder of the thienyl fragment, and the molecules are linked into simple C(5) chains by a single C-H...N hydrogen bond. In (E)-3-phenyl-2-(3-thienyl)acrylonitrile, C13H9NS, the molecules are linked into sheets by a combination of one C-H...N hydrogen bond and one C-H...pi(arene) hydrogen bond.
