surface N,N'-Bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)oxalamide benzene monosolvate: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-09 The asymmetric unit of the title 1:1 solvate, C14H14N4O2·C6H6 [systematic name of the oxalamide molecule: N,N'-bis(pyridin-4-ylmethyl)ethanediamide], comprises a half molecule of each constituent as each is disposed about a centre of inversion. In the oxalamide molecule, the central C2N2O2 atoms are planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0006 Å). An intramolecular amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bond is evident, which gives rise to an S(5) loop. Overall, the molecule adopts an antiperiplanar disposition of the pyridyl rings, and an orthogonal relationship is evident between the central plane and each terminal pyridyl ring [dihedral angle = 86.89 (3)°]. In the crystal, supramolecular layers parallel to (10overline{2}) are generated owing the formation of amide-N—H⋯N(pyridyl) hydrogen bonds. The layers stack encompassing benzene molecules which provide the links between layers via methylene-C—H⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C—H⋯π(pyridyl) interactions. The specified contacts are indicated in an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces. The energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonding (approximately 40 kJ mol−1; electrostatic forces) is just over double that by the C—H⋯π contacts (dispersion forces).

surface Bis(mefloquinium) butanedioate ethanol monosolvate: crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-12 The asymmetric unit of the centrosymmetric title salt solvate, 2C17H17F6N2O+· C4H4O42−·CH3CH2OH, (systematic name: 2-{[2,8-bis(trifluoromethyl)quinolin-4-yl](hydroxy)methyl}piperidin-1-ium butanedioate ethanol monosolvate) comprises two independent cations, with almost superimposable conformations and each approximating the shape of the letter L, a butanedioate dianion with an all-trans conformation and an ethanol solvent molecule. In the crystal, supramolecular chains along the a-axis direction are sustained by charge-assisted hydroxy-O—H⋯O(carboxylate) and ammonium-N—H⋯O(carboxylate) hydrogen bonds. These are connected into a layer via C—F⋯π(pyridyl) contacts and π–π stacking interactions between quinolinyl-C6 and –NC5 rings of the independent cations of the asymmetric unit [inter-centroid separations = 3.6784 (17) and 3.6866 (17) Å]. Layers stack along the c-axis direction with no directional interactions between them. The analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface reveals the significance of the fluorine atoms in surface contacts. Thus, by far the greatest contribution to the surface contacts, i.e. 41.2%, are of the type F⋯H/H⋯F and many of these occur in the inter-layer region. However, these contacts occur at separations beyond the sum of the van der Waals radii for these atoms. It is noted that H⋯H contacts contribute 29.8% to the overall surface, with smaller contributions from O⋯H/H⋯O (14.0%) and F⋯F (5.7%) contacts. Full Article text

surface 2-Methyl-4-(4-nitrophenyl)but-3-yn-2-ol: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational chemistry study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-07-23 The di-substituted acetylene residue in the title compound, C11H11NO3, is capped at either end by di-methylhydroxy and 4-nitrobenzene groups; the nitro substituent is close to co-planar with the ring to which it is attached [dihedral angle = 9.4 (3)°]. The most prominent feature of the molecular packing is the formation, via hydroxy-O—H⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds, of hexameric clusters about a site of symmetry overline{3}. The aggregates are sustained by 12-membered {⋯OH}6 synthons and have the shape of a flattened chair. The clusters are connected into a three-dimensional architecture by benzene-C—H⋯O(nitro) interactions, involving both nitro-O atoms. The aforementioned interactions are readily identified in the calculated Hirshfeld surface. Computational chemistry indicates there is a significant energy, primarily electrostatic in nature, associated with the hydroxy-O—H⋯O(hydroxy) hydrogen bonds. Dispersion forces are more important in the other identified but, weaker intermolecular contacts. Full Article text
surface Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of a new dithioglycoluril: 1,4-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-3a-methyltetrahydroimidazo[4,5-d]imidazole-2,5(1H,3H)-dithione By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-08-06 In the title dithioglycoluril derivative, C19H20N4O3S2, there is a difference in the torsion angles between the thioimidazole moiety and the methoxyphenyl groups on either side of the molecule [C—N—Car—Car = 116.9 (2) and −86.1 (3)°, respectively]. The N—C—N bond angle on one side of the dithioglycoluril moiety is slightly smaller compared to that on the opposite side, [110.9 (2)° cf. 112.0 (2)°], probably as a result of the steric effect of the methyl group. In the crystal, N—H⋯S hydrogen bonds link adjacent molecules to form chains propagating along the c-axis direction. The chains are linked by C—H⋯S hydrogen bonds, forming layers parallel to the bc plane. The layers are then linked by C—H⋯π interactions, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were used to investigate the molecular interactions in the crystal. Full Article text

surface Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and interaction energy and DFT studies of 2-chloroethyl 2-oxo-1-(prop-2-yn-1-yl)-1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-06 The title compound, C15H12ClNO3, consists of a 1,2-dihydroquinoline-4-carboxylate unit with 2-chloroethyl and propynyl substituents, where the quinoline moiety is almost planar and the propynyl substituent is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane. In the crystal, the molecules form zigzag stacks along the a-axis direction through slightly offset π-stacking interactions between inversion-related quinoline moieties which are tied together by intermolecular C—HPrpnyl⋯OCarbx and C—HChlethy⋯OCarbx (Prpnyl = propynyl, Carbx = carboxylate and Chlethy = chloroethyl) hydrogen bonds. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (29.9%), H⋯O/O⋯H (21.4%), H⋯C/C⋯ H (19.4%), H⋯Cl/Cl⋯H (16.3%) and C⋯C (8.6%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the C—HPrpnyl⋯OCarbx and C—HChlethy⋯OCarbx hydrogen bond energies are 67.1 and 61.7 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. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text
surface 2-{(1E)-[(E)-2-(2,6-Dichlorobenzylidene)hydrazin-1-ylidene]methyl}phenol: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-10 The title Schiff base compound, C14H10Cl2N2O, features an E configuration about each of the C=N imine bonds. Overall, the molecule is approximately planar with the dihedral angle between the central C2N2 residue (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0371 Å) and the peripheral hydroxybenzene and chlorobenzene rings being 4.9 (3) and 7.5 (3)°, respectively. Nevertheless, a small twist is evident about the central N—N bond [the C—N—N—C torsion angle = −172.7 (2)°]. An intramolecular hydroxy-O—H⋯N(imine) hydrogen bond closes an S(6) loop. In the crystal, π–π stacking interactions between hydroxy- and chlorobenzene rings [inter-centroid separation = 3.6939 (13) Å] lead to a helical supramolecular chain propagating along the b-axis direction; the chains pack without directional interactions between them. The calculated Hirshfeld surfaces point to the importance of H⋯H and Cl⋯H/H⋯Cl contacts to the overall surface, each contributing approximately 29% of all contacts. However, of these only Cl⋯H contacts occur at separations less than the sum of the van der Waals radii. The aforementioned π–π stacking interactions contribute 12.0% to the overall surface contacts. The calculation of the interaction energies in the crystal indicates significant contributions from the dispersion term. Full Article text
surface Crystal structure and molecular Hirshfeld surface analysis of acenaphthene derivatives obeying the chlorine–methyl exchange rule By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-12 Instances of crystal structures that remain isomorphous in spite of some minor changes in their respective molecules, such as change in a substituent atom/group, can provide insights into the factors that govern crystal packing. In this context, an accurate description of the crystal structures of an isomorphous pair that differ from each other only by a chlorine–methyl substituent, viz. 5''-(2-chlorobenzylidene)-4'-(2-chlorophenyl)-1'-methyldispiro[acenaphthene-1,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3''-piperidine]-2,4''-dione, C34H28Cl2N2O2, (I), and its analogue 1'-methyl-5''-(2-methylbenzylidene)-4'-(2-methylphenyl)dispiro[acenaphthene-1,2'-pyrrolidine-3',3''-piperidine]-2,4''-dione, C36H34N2O2, (II), is presented. While there are two C—H⋯O weak intermolecular interactions present in both (I) and (II), the change of substituent from chlorine to methyl has given rise to an additional weak C—H⋯O intermolecular interaction that is relatively stronger than the other two. However, the presence of the stronger C—H⋯O interaction in (II) has not disrupted the validity of the chloro-methyl exchange rule. Details of the crystal structures and Hirshfeld analyses of the two compounds are presented. Full Article text

surface (N,N-Diisopropyldithiocarbamato)triphenyltin(IV): crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-12 The crystal and molecular structures of the title triorganotin dithiocarbamate, [Sn(C6H5)3(C7H14NS2)], are described. The molecular geometry about the metal atom is highly distorted being based on a C3S tetrahedron as the dithiocarbamate ligand is asymmetrically chelating to the tin centre. The close approach of the second thione-S atom [Sn⋯S = 2.9264 (4) Å] is largely responsible for the distortion. The molecular packing is almost devoid of directional interactions with only weak phenyl-C—H⋯C(phenyl) interactions, leading to centrosymmetric dimeric aggregates, being noted. An analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surface points to the significance of H⋯H contacts, which contribute 66.6% of all contacts to the surface, with C⋯H/H⋯C [26.8%] and S⋯H/H⋯H [6.6%] contacts making up the balance.

surface 3,3-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-(4-methylbenzoyl)thiourea: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-09-12 In the title tri-substituted thiourea derivative, C13H18N2O3S, the thione-S and carbonyl-O atoms lie, to a first approximation, to the same side of the molecule [the S—C—N—C torsion angle is −49.3 (2)°]. The CN2S plane is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å) with the hydroxyethyl groups lying to either side of this plane. One hydroxyethyl group is orientated towards the thioamide functionality enabling the formation of an intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond leading to an S(7) loop. The dihedral angle [72.12 (9)°] between the planes through the CN2S atoms and the 4-tolyl ring indicates the molecule is twisted. The experimental molecular structure is close to the gas-phase, geometry-optimized structure calculated by DFT methods. In the molecular packing, hydroxyl-O—H⋯O(hydroxyl) and hydroxyl-O—H⋯S(thione) hydrogen bonds lead to the formation of a supramolecular layer in the ab plane; no directional interactions are found between layers. The influence of the specified supramolecular interactions is apparent in the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces and these are shown to be attractive in non-covalent interaction plots; the interaction energies point to the important stabilization provided by directional O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds.

The product was derived from an initial reaction of 2(S)-amino-3-methyl-1-oxobutanehydrazine at its hydrazine group to provide a 4-nitrobenzylidene derivative, followed by a cyclization reaction with another molecule of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde to form the chiral five-membered imidazolidin-4-one ring. The formation of the five-membered imidazolidin-4-one ring occurred with retention of the configuration at the 5-position, but with racemization at the 2-position. In the crystal, N—H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen bonds, weak C—H⋯O(carbonyl) and C—H⋯O(nitro) hydrogen bonds, as well as C—H⋯π, N—H⋯π and π–π interactions, are present. These combine to generate a three-dimensional array. Hirshfeld surface analysis and PIXEL calculations are also reported. Full Article text
surface Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-2-oxoethyl benzoate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-22 The title compound, C15H11NO5, is relatively planar, with the planes of the two aromatic rings being inclined to each other by 3.09 (5)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by a pair of C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers, which enclose an R22(16) ring motif. The dimers are linked by a further pair of C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonds forming ribbons enclosing R44(26) ring motifs. The ribbons are linked by offset π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.6754 (6)–3.7519 (6) Å] to form layers parallel to the ac plane. Through Hirshfeld surface analyses, the dnorm surfaces, electrostatic potential and two-dimensional fingerprint (FP) plots were examined to verify the contributions of the different intermolecular contacts within the supramolecular structure. The shape-index surface shows that two sides of the molecule are involved with the same contacts in neighbouring molecules, and the curvedness plot shows flat surface patches that are characteristic of planar stacking.

surface Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (2E,2'E)-1,1'-[selenobis(4,1-phenylene)]bis[3-(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one] By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-22 In the title compound, C30H20Cl2O2Se, the C—Se—C angle is 99.0 (2)°, with the dihedral angle between the planes of the attached benzene rings being 79.1 (3)°. The average endocyclic angles (Se—C—C) facing the Se atom are 122.1 (5) and 122.2 (5)°. The Se atom is essentially coplanar with the attached benzene rings, deviating by 0.075 (1) and 0.091 (1) Å. In the two phenylene(4-chlorophenyl)prop-2-en-1-one units, the benzene rings are inclined to each other by 44.6 (3) and 7.8 (3)°. In the crystal, the molecules stack up the a axis, forming layers parallel to the ac plane. There are no significant classical intermolecular interactions present. Hirshfeld surface analysis, two-dimensional fingerprint plots and the molecular electrostatic potential surface were used to analyse the crystal packing. The Hirshfeld surface analysis suggests that the most significant contributions to the crystal packing are by C⋯H/H⋯C contacts (17.7%). Full Article text
surface Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of (E)-6-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxystyryl)-4,5-dihydropyridazin-3(2H)-one By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-31 In the title compound, C13H14N2O3, the dihydropyridazine ring (r.m.s. deviation = 0.166 Å) has a screw-boat conformation. The dihedral angle between its mean plane and the benzene ring is 0.77 (12)°. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds generate C(5) chains and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds produce R22(8) motifs. These types of interactions lead to the formation of layers parallel to (12overline{1}). The three-dimensional network is achieved by C—H⋯O interactions, including R24(8) motifs. Intermolecular interactions were additionally investigated using Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots. The most significant contributions to the crystal packing are by H⋯H (43.3%), H⋯C/C⋯H (19.3%), H⋯O/H⋯O (22.6%), C⋯N/N⋯C (3.0%) and H⋯N/N⋯H (5.8%) contacts. C—H⋯π interactions and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are not observed. Full Article text
surface Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT studies of ethyl 2-{4-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)(phenyl)carbamoyl]-2-oxo-1,2-dihydroquinolin-1-yl}acetate By scripts.iucr.org Published On :: 2019-10-29 The title compound, C24H24N2O6, consists of ethyl 2-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-oxoquinolin-1-yl)acetate and 4-[(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethyl)(phenyl)carbomoyl] units, where the oxoquinoline unit is almost planar and the acetate substituent is nearly perpendicular to its mean plane. In the crystal, C—HOxqn⋯OEthx and C—HPhyl⋯OCarbx (Oxqn = oxoquinolin, Ethx = ethoxy, Phyl = phenyl and Carbx = carboxylate) weak hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional network sturucture. A π–π interaction between the constituent rings of the oxoquinoline unit, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.675 (1) Å may further stabilize the structure. Both terminal ethyl groups are disordered over two sets of sites. The ratios of the refined occupanies are 0.821 (8):0.179 (8) and 0.651 (18):0.349 (18). The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (53.9%), H⋯O/O⋯H (28.5%) and H⋯C/C⋯H (11.8%) interactions. Weak intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) geometric optimized structures at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO molecular orbital behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap. Full Article text
