ir Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-aminopyridinium hydrogen phthalate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-08 Aminopyridine and phthalic acid are well known synthons for supramolecular architectures for the synthesis of new materials for optical applications. The 2-aminopyridinium hydrogen phthalate title salt, C5H7N2+·C8H5O4−, crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group P21. The nitrogen atom of the –NH2 group in the cation deviates from the fitted pyridine plane by 0.035 (7) Å. The plane of the pyridinium ring and phenyl ring of the anion are oriented at an angle of 80.5 (3)° to each other in the asymmetric unit. The anion features a strong intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming a self-associated S(7) ring motif. The crystal packing is dominated by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds leading to the formation of 21 helices, with a C(11) chain motif. They propagate along the b axis and enclose R22(8) ring motifs. The helices are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate and quantify the intermolecular interactions in the crystal. Full Article text

ir Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and physicochemical characterization of bis[4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium] di-μ-chlorido-bis[dichloridomercurate(II)] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-03 The title molecular salt, (C7H11N2)2[Hg2Cl6], crystallizes with two 4-(dimethylamino)pyridinium cations (A and B) and two half hexachloridodimercurate(II) anions in the asymmetric unit. The organic cations exhibit essentially the same features with an almost planar pyridyl ring (r.m.s. deviations of 0.0028 and 0.0109 Å), which forms an inclined dihedral angle with the dimethyamino group [3.06 (1) and 1.61 (1)°, respectively]. The dimethylamino groups in the two cations are planar, and the C—N bond lengths are shorter than that in 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine. In the crystal, mixed cation–anion layers lying parallel to the (010) plane are formed through N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and adjacent layers are linked by C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. The analyses of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces confirm the relevance of the above intermolecular interactions, but also serve to further differentiate the weaker intermolecular interactions formed by the organic cations and inorganic anions, such as π–π and Cl⋯Cl interactions. The powder XRD data confirms the phase purity of the crystalline sample. Furthermore, the vibrational absorption bands were identified by IR spectroscopy and the optical properties were studied by using optical UV–visible absorption spectroscopy. Full Article text

ir Crystal structure, DFT calculation, Hirshfeld surface analysis and energy framework study of 6-bromo-2-(4-bromophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-03 The title imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine derivative, C13H8Br2N2, was synthesized via a single-step reaction method. The title molecule is planar, showing a dihedral angle of 0.62 (17)° between the phenyl and the imidazo[1,2-a] pyridine rings. An intramolecular C—H⋯N hydrogen bond with an S(5) ring motif is present. In the crystal, a short H⋯H contact links adjacent molecules into inversion-related dimers. The dimers are linked in turn by weak C—H⋯π and slipped π–π stacking interactions, forming layers parallel to (110). The layers are connected into a three-dimensional network by short Br⋯H contacts. Two-dimensional fingerprint plots and three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analysis of the intermolecular contacts reveal that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯Br/Br⋯H (26.1%), H⋯H (21.7%), H⋯C/C⋯H (21.3%) and C⋯C (6.5%) interactions. Energy framework calculations suggest that the contacts formed between molecules are largely dispersive in nature. Analysis of HOMO–LUMO energies from a DFT calculation reveals the pure π character of the aromatic rings with the highest electron density on the phenyl ring, and σ character of the electron density on the Br atoms. The HOMO–LUMO gap was found to be 4.343 eV. Full Article text

The metal ion is coordinated in a tetragonally distorted octahedral geometry by the four secondary N atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, the mutually trans O atoms of the perchlorate anion and the carbonyl O atom of the protonated carboxylic acid group of a neighbouring cation. The average equatorial Cu—N bond lengths [2.01 (6) Å] are significantly shorter than the axial Cu—O bond lengths [2.379 (8) Å for carboxylate and average 2.62 (7) Å for disordered perchlorate]. The coordinated macrocyclic ligand in (I) adopts the most energetically favourable trans-III conformation with an equatorial orientation of the substituent at the protonated distal 3-position N atom in a six-membered chelate ring. The coordination of the carboxylic acid group of the cation to a neighbouring complex unit results in the formation of infinite chains running along the b-axis direction, which are crosslinked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the secondary amine groups of the macrocycle and O atoms of the perchlorate counter-anions to form sheets lying parallel to the (001) plane. Additionally, the extended structure of (I) is consolidated by numerous intra- and interchain C—H⋯O contacts. Full Article text

ir N,N'-Bis(pyridin-3-ylmethyl)ethanediamide monohydrate: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The molecular structure of the title bis-pyridyl substituted diamide hydrate, C14H14N4O2·H2O, features a central C2N2O2 residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0205 Å) linked at each end to 3-pyridyl rings through methylene groups. The pyridyl rings lie to the same side of the plane, i.e. have a syn-periplanar relationship, and form dihedral angles of 59.71 (6) and 68.42 (6)° with the central plane. An almost orthogonal relationship between the pyridyl rings is indicated by the dihedral angle between them [87.86 (5)°]. Owing to an anti disposition between the carbonyl-O atoms in the core, two intramolecular amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds are formed, each closing an S(5) loop. Supramolecular tapes are formed in the crystal via amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and ten-membered {⋯HNC2O}2 synthons. Two symmetry-related tapes are linked by a helical chain of hydrogen-bonded water molecules via water-O—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds. The resulting aggregate is parallel to the b-axis direction. Links between these, via methylene-C—H⋯O(water) and methylene-C—H⋯π(pyridyl) interactions, give rise to a layer parallel to (10overline{1}); the layers stack without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the Hirshfeld surfaces point to the importance of the specified hydrogen-bonding interactions, and to the significant influence of the water molecule of crystallization upon the molecular packing. The analysis also indicates the contribution of methylene-C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and pyridyl-C—H⋯C(carbonyl) contacts to the stability of the inter-layer region. The calculated interaction energies are consistent with importance of significant electrostatic attractions in the crystal. Full Article text

For (I), the coordination geometry is based on a trigonal bipyramid whereas for (II), a square-planar geometry is found (Cu site symmetry overline{1}). In the crystal of (I), discernible supramolecular layers in the ac plane are sustained by chlorobenzene-C—H⋯O(coordinated), chlorobenzene-C—H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) as well as π(fused-benzene, chlorobenzene)–π(chlorobenzene) interactions [inter-centroid separations = 3.6460 (17) and 3.6580 (16) Å, respectively]. The layers inter-digitate along the b-axis direction and are linked by dichlorobenzene-C—H⋯π(fused-benzene ring) and π–π interactions between fused-benzene rings and between chlorobenzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.6916 (16) and 3.7968 (19) Å, respectively] . Flat, supramolecular layers are also found in the crystal of (II), being stabilized by π–π interactions formed between fused-benzene rings and between chlorobenzene rings [inter-centroid separations = 3.8889 (15) and 3.8889 (15) Å, respectively]; these stack parallel to [10overline{1}] without directional interactions between them. The analysis of the respective calculated Hirshfeld surfaces indicate diminished roles for H⋯H contacts [26.2% (I) and 30.5% (II)] owing to significant contributions by Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts [25.8% (I) and 24.9% (II)]. Minor contributions by Cl⋯Cl [2.2%] and Cu⋯Cl [1.9%] contacts are indicated in the crystals of (I) and (II), respectively. The interaction energies largely arise from dispersion terms; the aforementioned Cu⋯Cl contact in (II) gives rise to the most stabilizing interaction in the crystal of (II). Full Article text

ir The 1:2 co-crystal formed between N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)ethanediamide and benzoic acid: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The crystal and molecular structures of the title 1:2 co-crystal, C14H14N4O2·2C7H6O2, are described. The oxalamide molecule has a (+)-antiperiplanar conformation with the 4-pyridyl residues lying to either side of the central, almost planar C2N2O2 chromophore (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0555 Å). The benzoic acid molecules have equivalent, close to planar conformations [C6/CO2 dihedral angle = 6.33 (14) and 3.43 (10)°]. The formation of hydroxy-O—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds between the benzoic acid molecules and the pyridyl residues of the diamide leads to a three-molecule aggregate. Centrosymmetrically related aggregates assemble into a six-molecule aggregate via amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonds through a 10-membered {⋯HNC2O}2 synthon. These are linked into a supramolecular tape via amide-N—H⋯O(carbonyl) hydrogen bonds and 22-membered {⋯HOCO⋯NC4NH}2 synthons. The contacts between tapes to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are of the type methylene-C—H⋯O(amide) and pyridyl-C—H⋯O(carbonyl). These interactions are largely electrostatic in nature. Additional non-covalent contacts are identified from an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces. Full Article text

The molecular and electronic structures of the complex were also studied in detail using EPR (continuous and pulsed), FT–IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as magnetization measurements. Likewise, Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate the intermolecular interactions in the crystal packing. Full Article text

ir 3,3-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-(4-nitrobenzoyl)thiourea: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-07 In the title compound, C12H15N3O5S, a trisubstituted thiourea derivative, the central CN2S chromophore is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) and the pendant hydroxyethyl groups lie to either side of this plane. While to a first approximation the thione-S and carbonyl-O atoms lie to the same side of the molecule, the S—C—N—C torsion angle of −47.8 (2)° indicates a considerable twist. As one of the hydroxyethyl groups is orientated towards the thioamide residue, an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond is formed which leads to an S(7) loop. A further twist in the molecule is indicated by the dihedral angle of 65.87 (7)° between the planes through the CN2S chromophore and the 4-nitrobenzene ring. There is a close match between the experimental and gas-phase, geometry-optimized (DFT) molecular structures. In the crystal, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯S hydrogen bonds give rise to supramolecular layers propagating in the ab plane. The connections between layers to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are of the type C—H⋯O, C—H⋯S and nitro-O⋯π. The nature of the supramolecular association has been further analysed by a study of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces, non-covalent interaction plots and computational chemistry, all of which point to the significant influence and energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonds.

ir (N,N-Diallyldithiocarbamato-κ2S,S')triphenyltin(IV) and bis(N,N-diallyldithiocarbamato-κ2S,S')diphenyltin(IV): crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-10 The crystal and molecular structures of the title organotin dithiocarbamate compounds, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H10NS2)] (I) and [Sn(C6H5)2(C7H10NS2)2] (II), present very distinct tin atom coordination geometries. In (I), the dithiocarbamate ligand is asymmetrically coordinating with the resulting C3S2 donor set defining a coordination geometry intermediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal–bipyramidal. In (II), two independent molecules comprise the asymmetric unit, which differ in the conformations of the allyl substituents and in the relative orientations of the tin-bound phenyl rings. The dithiocarbamate ligands in (II) coordinate in an asymmetric mode but the Sn—S bonds are more symmetric than observed in (I). The resulting C2S4 donor set approximates an octahedral coordination geometry with a cis-disposition of the ipso-carbon atoms and with the more tightly bound sulfur atoms approximately trans. The only directional intermolecular contacts in the crystals of (I) and (II) are of the type phenyl-C—H⋯π(phenyl) and vinylidene-C—H⋯π(phenyl), respectively, with each leading to a supramolecular chain propagating along the a-axis direction. The calculated Hirshfeld surfaces emphasize the importance of H⋯H contacts in the crystal of (I), i.e. contributing 62.2% to the overall surface. The only other two significant contacts also involve hydrogen, i.e. C⋯H/H⋯C (28.4%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (8.6%). Similar observations pertain to the individual molecules of (II), which are clearly distinguishable in their surface contacts, with H⋯H being clearly dominant (59.9 and 64.9%, respectively) along with C⋯H/H⋯C (24.3 and 20.1%) and S⋯H/H⋯S (14.4 and 13.6%) contacts. The calculations of energies of interaction suggest dispersive forces make a significant contribution to the stabilization of the crystals. The exception is for the C—H⋯π contacts in (II) where, in addition to the dispersive contribution, significant contributions are made by the electrostatic forces. Full Article text
ir Synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 4-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-nitrobenzaldehyde By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-21 The title compound, C8H7NO5, is planar with an r.m.s. deviation for all non-hydrogen atoms of 0.018 Å. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond involving the adjacent hydroxy and nitro groups forms an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along the b-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are linked by a further C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, forming slabs, which are linked by C=O⋯π interactions, forming a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to investigate intermolecular interactions in the solid state. The molecule was also characterized spectroscopically and its thermal stability investigated by differential scanning calorimetry and by thermogravimetric analysis. Full Article text
ir The synthesis, crystal structure and Hirshfeld analysis of 4-(3,4-dimethylanilino)-N-(3,4-dimethylphenyl)quinoline-3-carboxamide By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-17 The structure of the title quinoline carboxamide derivative, C26H25N3O, is described. The quinoline moiety is not planar as a result of a slight puckering of the pyridine ring. The secondary amine has a slightly pyramidal geometry, certainly not planar. Both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds are present. Hirshfeld surface analysis and lattice energies were used to investigate the intermolecular interactions. Full Article text
