In the title compound, C(4)H(4)N(4)O(4), the two nitro groups are twisted with respect to the imidazole plane, making dihedral angles of 24.2 (3) and 33.4 (4)°. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules are linked through non-classical inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C(31)H(28)N(2)O, the dihedral angles formed by the imidazole ring with the three aryl substituents are 18.52 (8) and 85.56 (7) and 85.57 (7)°, respectively. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains parallel to the a axis.

Low-temperature studies of the simple variously substituted imidazole types 4-phenyl-1H-imidazole, C9H8N2, 1-benzyl-1Himidazole, C10H10N2, and 1-mesityl-1H-imidazole, C12H14N2, extend comparisons between parent imidazole species and their derivatives, the pronounced double-bond localization opposite the substituted N atom common to simple neutral species being redistributed aromatically on prot...

High-resolution crystal structure determination and spherical and multipolar refinement enabled an organic solid solution of 1-(4'-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile and 5-bromo-1-(4'-chlorophenyl)-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole to be found, which would not normally be revealed using only standard resolution data (ca 0.8 Å), as the disordered part is only visible at high ...

In the title compound, C(18)H(23)ClN(3)O(3), the imidazole ring system has an envelope conformation, whereas the nitronyl nitroxide unit displays a half-chair or twisted conformation. In the crystal, C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds build up a three-dimensional network.

In the title compound, C(6)H(10)N(2)O(2)·H(2)O, the imidazole ring is essentially planar, with a maximum deviation of 0.012 (2) Å. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a supra-molecular tape along the a axis.
