id Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study of bis(2-{[(2,6-dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazinylidene]methyl}phenolato)cobalt(II) and of the copper(II) analogue By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The title homoleptic Schiff base complexes, [M(C14H9Cl2N2O)2], for M = CoII, (I), and CuII, (II), present distinct coordination geometries despite the Schiff base dianion coordinating via the phenolato-O and imine-N atoms in each case. 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
id An unusually short intermolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bond in crystals of the hemi-hydrochloride salt of 1-exo-acetamidopyrrolizidine By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-01 The title compound [systematic name: (1R*, 8S)-2-acetamidooctahydropyrrolizin-4-ium chloride–N-[(1R, 8S)-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizin-2-yl)acetamide (1/1)], 2(C9H16N2O)·HCl or C9H17N2O+·Cl−·C9H16N2O, arose as an unexpected product when 1-exo-acetamidopyrrolizidine (AcAP; C9H16N2O) was dissolved in CHCl3. Within the AcAP pyrrolizidine group, the unsubstituted five-membered ring is disordered over two orientations in a 0.897 (5):0.103 (5) ratio. Two AcAP molecules related by a crystallographic twofold axis link to H+ and Cl− ions lying on the rotation axis, thereby forming N—H⋯N and N—H⋯Cl⋯H—N hydrogen bonds. The first of these has an unusually short N⋯N separation of 2.616 (2) Å: refinement of different models against the present data set could not distinguish between a symmetrical hydrogen bond (H atom lying on the twofold axis and equidistant from the N atoms) or static or dynamic disorder models (i.e. N—H⋯N + N⋯H—N). Computational studies suggest that the disorder model is slightly more stable, but the energy difference is very small. Full Article text

The asymmetric unit comprises one [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cation, one PF6− counter-ion and one CH2Cl2 solvent molecule. The central IrIII atom of the [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cation is distorted-octahedrally coordinated by four N atoms and two C atoms, whereby two N atoms stem from the NAP ligand while the ppz ligands ligate through one N and one C atom each. In the crystal, the [Ir(ppz)2(NAP)]+ cations and PF6− counter-ions are connected with each other through weak intermolecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds. Together with an additional C—H⋯F interaction involving the solvent molecule, a three-dimensional network structure is formed. Full Article text

id 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

There are two molecules in general positions in the asymmetric unit, one of them being the (1R)-camphor thiosemicarbazone isomer and the second the (1S)- isomer. In the crystal, the molecular units are linked by C—H⋯S, N—H⋯O and N—H⋯S interactions, building a tape-like structure parallel to the (overline{1}01) plane, generating R21(7) and R22(8) graph-set motifs for the H⋯S interactions. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the major contributions for crystal cohesion are from H⋯H (55.00%), H⋯S (22.00%), H⋯N (8.90%) and H⋯O (8.40%) interactions. Full Article text

id Crystal structure, spectroscopic characterization and Hirshfeld surface analysis of aquadichlorido{N-[(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]aniline}copper(II) monohydrate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-07 The reaction of N-phenyl-1-(pyridin-2-yl)methanimine with copper chloride dihydrate produced the title neutral complex, [CuCl2(C12H10N2)(H2O)]·H2O. The CuII ion is five-coordinated in a distorted square-pyramidal geometry, in which the two N atoms of the bidentate Schiff base, as well as one chloro and a water molecule, form the irregular base of the pyramidal structure. Meanwhile, the apical chloride ligand interacts through a strong hydrogen bond with a water molecule of crystallization. In the crystal, molecules are arranged in pairs, forming a stacking of symmetrical cyclic dimers that interact in turn through strong hydrogen bonds between the chloride ligands and both the coordinated and the crystallization water molecules. 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

This is the first experimental evidence that pentenynones can be photoreactive when fixed in nearly coplanar parallel positions. During the photoreaction, the bond lengths and angles along the pentenyne chain changed significantly, while the disposition of the pyridyl ring towards the keto group was almost unchanged. The cyclobutane ring adopts an rctt conformation. Full Article text

id (E)-{[(Butylsulfanyl)methanethioyl]amino}(4-methoxybenzylidene)amine: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-17 The title hydrazine carbodithioate, C13H18N2OS2, is constructed about a central and almost planar C2N2S2 chromophore (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0263 Å); the terminal methoxybenzene group is close to coplanar with this plane [dihedral angle = 3.92 (11)°]. The n-butyl group has an extended all-trans conformation [torsion angles S—Cm—Cm—Cm = −173.2 (3)° and Cm—Cm—Cm—Cme = 180.0 (4)°; m = methylene and me = methyl]. The most prominent feature of the molecular packing is the formation of centrosymmetric eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons, as a result of thioamide-N—H⋯S(thioamide) hydrogen bonds; these are linked via methoxy-C–H⋯π(methoxybenzene) interactions to form a linear supramolecular chain propagating along the a-axis direction. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots point to the significance of H⋯H (58.4%), S⋯H/H⋯S (17.1%), C⋯H/H⋯C (8.2%) and O⋯H/H⋯O (4.9%) contacts in the packing. The energies of the most significant interactions, i.e. the N—H⋯S and C—H⋯π interactions have their most significant contributions from electrostatic and dispersive components, respectively. The energies of two other identified close contacts at close to van der Waals distances, i.e. a thione–sulfur and methoxybenzene–hydrogen contact (occurring within the chains along the a axis) and between methylene-H atoms (occurring between chains to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture), are largely dispersive in nature.

id The first coordination compound of deprotonated 2-bromonicotinic acid: crystal structure of a dinuclear paddle-wheel copper(II) complex By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-17 A copper(II) dimer with the deprotonated anion of 2-bromonicotinic acid (2-BrnicH), namely, tetrakis(μ-2-bromonicotinato-κ2O:O')bis[aquacopper(II)](Cu—Cu), [Cu2(H2O)2(C6H3BrNO2)4] or [Cu2(H2O)2(2-Brnic)4], (1), was prepared by the reaction of copper(II) chloride dihydrate and 2-bromonicotinic acid in water. The copper(II) ion in 1 has a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment, achieved by four carboxylate O atoms in the basal plane and the water molecule in the apical position.

In the extended structure of 1, the cluster molecules are assembled into an infinite two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network lying parallel to the (001) plane via strong O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of various hydrogen-bond ring motifs: dimeric R22(8) and R22(16) loops and a tetrameric R44(16) loop. The Hirshfeld surface analysis was also performed in order to better illustrate the nature and abundance of the intermolecular contacts in the structure of 1. Full Article text

id Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study of the 1:2 co-crystal formed between N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)ethanediamide and 4-chlorobenzoic acid By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-21 The asymmetric unit of the title 1:2 co-crystal, C14H14N4O2·2C7H5ClO2, comprises two half molecules of oxalamide (4LH2), as each is disposed about a centre of inversion, and two molecules of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (CBA), each in general positions. Each 4LH2 molecule has a (+)antiperiplanar conformation with the pyridin-4-yl residues lying to either side of the central, planar C2N2O2 chromophore with the dihedral angles between the respective central core and the pyridyl rings being 68.65 (3) and 86.25 (3)°, respectively, representing the major difference between the independent 4LH2 molecules. The anti conformation of the carbonyl groups enables the formation of intramolecular amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonds, each completing an S(5) loop. The two independent CBA molecules are similar and exhibit C6/CO2 dihedral angles of 8.06 (10) and 17.24 (8)°, indicating twisted conformations. In the crystal, two independent, three-molecule aggregates are formed via carboxylic acid-O—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonding. These are connected into a supramolecular tape propagating parallel to [100] through amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonding between the independent aggregates and ten-membered {⋯HNC2O}2 synthons. The tapes assemble into a three-dimensional architecture through pyridyl- and methylene-C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and CBA-C—H⋯O(amide) interactions. As revealed by a more detailed analysis of the molecular packing by calculating the Hirshfeld surfaces and computational chemistry, are the presence of attractive and dispersive Cl⋯C=O interactions which provide interaction energies approximately one-quarter of those provided by the amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonding sustaining the supramolecular tape.

Although the title compounds crystallize in different crystal systems [triclinic for (I) and monoclinic for (II)], both asymmetric units consist of one-half of the complex molecule, i.e. one metal(II) cation, one PM-TMA ligand, and one N-bound thiocyanate anion. In both complexes, the metal(II) cation is located on a centre of inversion and adopts a distorted octahedral coordination environment defined by four N atoms from two symmetry-related PM-TMA ligands in the equatorial plane and two N atoms from two symmetry-related NCS− anions in a trans axial arrangement. The trimethylbenzene and pyridine rings of the PM-TMA ligand are oriented at dihedral angles of 74.18 (7) and 77.70 (12)° for (I) and (II), respectively. The subtle change in size of the central metal cations leads to a different crystal packing arrangement for (I) and (II) that is dominated by weak C—H⋯S, C—H⋯π, and π–π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to quantify these intermolecular contacts, and indicate that the most significant contacts in packing are H⋯H [48.1% for (I) and 54.9% for (II)], followed by H⋯C/C⋯H [24.1% for (I) and 15.7% for (II)], and H⋯S/S⋯H [21.1% for (I) and 21.1% for (II)].

id Poly[[tetradecakis(μ-propionato)heptabarium] propionic acid monosolvate tetrahydrate] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-01-31 The title compound, {[Ba7(C3H5O2)14]·0.946C3H6O2·4H2O}n, is represented by a metal–organic framework structure that is held together by Ba—O—Ba bonds, as well as by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds of moderate strength. The structure comprises of four independent Ba2+ cations (one of which is situated on a twofold rotation axis), seven independent propionate and two independent water molecules. The bond-valence sums of all the cations indicate a slight overbonding. There is also an occupationally, as well as a positionally disordered propionic acid molecule present in the structure. Its occupation is slightly lower than the full occupation while the disordered molecules occupy two positions related by a rotation about a twofold rotation axis. In addition, the methyl group in the symmetry-independent propionic acid molecule is also disordered, and occupies two positions. Each propionic acid molecule coordinates to just one cation from a pair of symmetry-equivalent Ba2+ sites and is simultaneously bonded by an O—H⋯Opropionate hydrogen bond. This means that on a microscopic scale, the coordination number of the corresponding Ba2+ site is either 9 or 10. The methyl as well as hydroxy hydrogen atoms of the disordered propionic acid molecule were not determined. Full Article text

Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, C—HDchlphy⋯OThz, C—HBnz⋯OThz and C—HBnz⋯ClDchlphy hydrogen-bond energies are 134.3, 71.2 and 34.4 kJ mol−1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state.

These complexes are linked via intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the methanol O—H H atoms and the carbonyl O atoms of the 4-benzoylpyridine ligands, forming layers parallel to (101). Powder X-ray diffraction proved that a pure sample was obtained but that this compound is unstable and transforms into an unknown crystalline phase within several weeks. However, the solvent molecules can be removed by heating in a thermobalance, which for the aged sample as well as the title compound leads to the formation of a compound with the composition Fe(NCS)2(4-benzoylpyridine)2, which exhibits a powder pattern that is similar to that of Mn(NCS)2(4-benzoylpyridine)2.

Compound 3 belongs to a new class of pyranopyrans that possess antibacterial and phytotoxic activity. Crystallographic analysis of 3 shows a bent structure for the cis-fused bicyclic pyranopyran, similar to nitrile 2. Evidence of an intramolecular hydrogen bond involving the amide group and ring oxygen was not observed; however, two separate intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions were observed between the amide hydrogen atoms and adjacent carbonyl oxygen atoms along the b- and a-axis directions. The latter interaction may also be supported by an intermolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond. The lattice is filled out by close-packed layers of this hydrogen-bonded network along the c-axis direction, related from one to the next by a 21 screw axis. Full Article text
id Crystal structure of 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazoniacyclotetradecane bis(perchlorate) dichloride from synchrotron X-ray data By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-02-11 The crystal structure of title salt, C14H36N44+·2ClO4−·2Cl−, has been determined using synchrotron radiation at 220 K. The structure determination reveals that protonation has occurred at all four amine N atoms. The asymmetric unit contains one half-cation (completed by crystallographic inversion symmetry), one perchlorate anion and one chloride anion. A distortion of the perchlorate anion is due to its involvement in hydrogen-bonding interactions with the cations. The crystal structure is consolidated by intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving the 1,4,8,11-tetramethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazoniacyclotetradecane N—H and C—H groups as donor groups, and the O atoms of the perchlorate and chloride anion as acceptor groups, giving rise to a three-dimensional network.

id Crystal structure of imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium-based hybrid salt (C13H12N3)2[MnCl4] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-02-06 A new organic–inorganic hybrid salt [L]2[MnCl4] (I) where L+ is the 2-methyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)imidazo[1,5-a]pyridinium cation, is built of discrete organic cations and tetrachloridomanganate(II) anions. The L+ cation was formed in situ in the oxidative cyclocondensation of 2-pyridinecarbaldehyde and CH3NH2·HCl in methanol. The structure was refined as a two-component twin using PLATON (Spek, 2020) to de-twin the data. The twin law (−1 0 0 0 − 1 0 0.5 0 1) was applied in the refinement where the twin component fraction refined to 0.155 (1). The compound crystallizes in the space group P21/c with two crystallographically non-equivalent cations in the asymmetric unit, which possess similar structural conformations. The fused pyridinium and imidazolium rings of the cations are virtually coplanar [dihedral angles are 0.89 (18) and 0.78 (17)°]; the pendant pyridyl rings are twisted by 36.83 (14) and 36.14 (13)° with respect to the planes of the remaining atoms of the cations. The tetrahedral MnCl42– anion is slightly distorted with the Mn—Cl distances falling in the range 2.3469 (10)–2.3941 (9) Å. The distortion value of 0.044 relative to the ideal tetrahedron was obtained by continuous shape measurement (CShM) analysis. In the crystal, the cations and anions form separate stacks propagating along the a-axis direction. The organic cations display weak π–π stacking. The anions, which are stacked identically one above the other, demonstrate loose packing; the minimum Mn⋯Mn separation in the cation stack is approximately 7.49 Å. The investigation of the fluorescent properties of a powdered sample of (I) showed no emission. X-band EPR data for (I) at 293 and 77 K revealed broad fine structure signals, indicating moderate zero-field splitting. Full Article text

X-ray powder diffraction proves that the sample is slightly contaminated with NaSb(OH)6 and an unknown crystalline phase. The crystal investigated was twinned with a twofold rotation axis as the twin element, and therefore a twin refinement using data in HKLF-5 format was performed. The asymmetric unit of the title compound consists of one MnII cation, one [S4]2− anion and one cyclen ligand in general positions. The MnII cation is sixfold coordinated by two cis-S atoms of the [S4]2− anions, as well as four N atoms of the cyclen ligand within an irregular coordination. The complexes are linked via pairs of N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds into chains, which are further linked into layers by additional N—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. These layers are connected into a three-dimensional network by intermolecular N—H⋯S and C—H⋯S hydrogen bonding. It is noted that only one similar complex with MnII is reported in the literature.

Hirshfeld surface analysis of the title compound suggests that the most significant contacts in the crystal are H⋯H, H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H, H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯S/S⋯H. π–π interactions between inversion-related molecules also contribute to the crystal packing. DFT calculations have been performed to optimize the structure of the title compound using the CAM-B3LYP functional and the 6–311 G(d,p) basis set. The theoretical absorption spectrum of the title compound was calculated using the TD–DFT method.

id Synthesis and crystal structures of two 1,3-di(alkyloxy)-2-(methylsulfanyl)imidazolium tetrafluoridoborates By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-03-17 Two salts were prepared by methylation of the respective imidazoline-2-thione at the sulfur atom, using Meerwein's salt (trimethyloxonium tetrafluoridoborate) in CH2Cl2. 1,3-Dimethoxy-2-(methylsulfanyl)imidazolium tetrafluoridoborate (1), C6H11N2O2S+·BF4−, displays a syn conformation of its two methoxy groups relative to each other whereas the two benzyloxy groups present in 1,3-dibenzyloxy-2-(methylsulfanyl)imidazolium tetrafluoridoborate (2), C18H19N2O2S+·BF4−, adopt an anti conformation. In the molecules of 1 and 2, the methylsulfanyl group is rotated out of the plane of the respective heterocyclic ring. In both crystal structures, intermolecular interactions are dominated by C—H⋯F—B contacts, leading to three-dimensional networks. The tetrafluoridoborate counter-ion of 2 is disordered over three orientations (occupancy ratio 0.42:0.34:0.24), which are related by rotation about one of the B—F bonds. Full Article text
id Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-amino-3-hydroxypyridin-1-ium 6-methyl-2,2,4-trioxo-2H,4H-1,2,3-oxathiazin-3-ide By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-03-27 The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C5H7N2O+·C4H4NO4S−, contains one cation and one anion. The 6-methyl-2,2,4-trioxo-2H,4H-1,2,3-oxathiazin-3-ide anion adopts an envelope conformation with the S atom as the flap. In the crystal, the anions and cations are held together by N—H⋯O, N—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, thus forming a three-dimensional structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots reveal that the crystal packing is dominated by O⋯H/H⋯O (43.1%) and H⋯H (24.2%) contacts. Full Article text
id Crystal structure of a new phenyl(morpholino)methanethione derivative: 4-[(morpholin-4-yl)carbothioyl]benzoic acid By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2020-03-27 4-[(Morpholin-4-yl)carbothioyl]benzoic acid, C12H13NO3S, a novel phenyl(morpholino)methanethione derivative, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n. The morpholine ring adopts a chair conformation and the carboxylic acid group is bent out slightly from the benzene ring mean plane. The molecular geometry of the carboxylic group is characterized by similar C—O bond lengths [1.266 (2) and 1.268 (2) Å] as the carboxylate H atom is disordered over two positions. This molecular arrangement leads to the formation of dimers through strong and centrosymmetric low barrier O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxylic groups. In addition to these intermolecular interactions, the crystal packing consists of two different molecular sheets with an angle between their mean planes of 64.4 (2)°. The cohesion between the different layers is ensured by C—H⋯S and C—H⋯O interactions. Full Article text
