Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 3-(3-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one hemihydrate.

ABSTRACT: High-quality single crystals of the title compound, 2C₁₃H₁₁NO₂·H₂O, were grown and a structural analysis was performed. The asymmetric unit comprises one mol-ecule of 3-(3-hy-droxy-phen-yl)-1-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (3HPPP), which was recently discovered to be a promising anti-MRSA candidate, and a half-mol-ecule of water. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/c. The crystal structure features inter-molecular pyrrole-N-H⋯O (water), carbon-yl/keto-C-O⋯H-O-phenol and phenol-C-O⋯H (water) hydrogen bonds, which help to consolidate the crystal packing. A Hirshfeld surface analysis for the components in the asymmetric unit showed that H⋯H (40.9%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (32.4%) contacts make the largest contributions to the inter-molecular inter-actions of 3HPPP. Considering the presence of water, in its vicinity H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯C/C⋯H are the most significant contacts, contributing 48.7 and 29.8%, respectively.
