The five- and six-membered rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 75.88 (8)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds form chains of molecules extending along the c-axis direction that are connected by inversion-related pairs of O—H⋯N into ribbons. The ribbons are linked by C—H⋯π(ring) interactions, forming layers parallel to the ab plane. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (45.9%), H⋯N/N⋯H (23.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (16.2%) and H⋯O/O⋯H (12.3%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. The volume of the crystal voids and the percentage of free space were calculated to be 100.94 Å3 and 13.20%, showing that there is no large cavity in the crystal packing. Evaluation of the electrostatic, dispersion and total energy frameworks indicates that the stabilization is dominated by the electrostatic energy contributions in the title compound. Moreover, the DFT-optimized structure at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level is compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text

surf The crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analysis of three new bromo-substituted 3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole derivatives By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-05-31 Three new 1H-indole derivatives, namely, 2-(bromomethyl)-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole, C16H14BrNO2S, (I), 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole, C24H20BrNO3S, (II), and 2-[(E)-2-(2-bromophenyl)ethenyl]-3-methyl-1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indole, C23H18BrNO2S, (III), exhibit nearly orthogonal orientations of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. Such conformations are favourable for intermolecular bonding involving sets of slipped π–π interactions between the indole systems and mutual C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds, with the generation of two-dimensional monoperiodic patterns. The latter are found in all three structures, in the form of supramolecular columns with every pair of successive molecules related by inversion. The crystal packing of the compounds is additionally stabilized by weaker slipped π–π interactions between the outer phenyl rings (in II and III) and by weak C—H⋯O, C—H⋯Br and C—H⋯π hydrogen bonds. The structural significance of the different kinds of interactions agree with the results of a Hirshfeld surface analysis and the calculated interaction energies. In particular, the largest interaction energies (up to −60.8 kJ mol−1) are associated with pairing of antiparallel indole systems, while the energetics of weak hydrogen bonds and phenyl π–π interactions are comparable and account for 13–34 kJ mol−1.

surf Crystal structure determination and Hirshfeld surface analysis of N-acetyl-N-3-methoxyphenyl and N-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-phenylsulfonyl derivatives of N-[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine By journals.iucr.org Published On :: 2024-07-09 Two new [1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methanamine derivatives, namely, N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-N-{[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methyl}acetamide, C24H22N2O4S, (I), and N-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-N-{[1-(phenylsulfonyl)-1H-indol-2-yl]methyl}benzenesulfonamide, C29H26N2O6S2, (II), reveal a nearly orthogonal orientation of their indole ring systems and sulfonyl-bound phenyl rings. The sulfonyl moieties adopt the anti-periplanar conformation. For both compounds, the crystal packing is dominated by C—H⋯O bonding [C⋯O = 3.312 (4)–3.788 (8) Å], with the structure of II exhibiting a larger number, but weaker bonds of this type. Slipped π–π interactions of antiparallel indole systems are specific for I, whereas the structure of II delivers two kinds of C—H⋯π interactions at both axial sides of the indole moiety. These findings agree with the results of Hirshfeld surface analysis. The primary contributions to the surface areas are associated with the contacts involving H atoms. Although II manifests a larger fraction of the O⋯H/H⋯O contacts (25.8 versus 22.4%), most of them are relatively distal and agree with the corresponding van der Waals separations. Full Article text
