Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Ferrocenyl Dicarboximides

Abstract  

Reactions of 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxylic chloride with 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-aminopyrazine produce organometallic dicarboximides I and II, respectively. They crystallize in space groups F dd2 and P2₁/c, respectively. The molecules of I lying on twofold rotation axes are linked into a B-faced sheet by a C–H···O=C hydrogen bond [H····O = 2.46, C···O = 3.163(7) ? and C–H···O = 132°]. The sheets are linked into a layered structure by two types of weak C–H···O=C hydrogen bonds [H···O = 2.71, C···O = 3.340(8) ? and C–H···O = 126°; H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.303(10) ? and C–H···O = 124°]. The molecules of II are linked into a centrosymmetric R ₂²(12) dimer by a C–H···O hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.40, C···O = 3.321(10) ? and C–H···O = 172°]. The dimers are further packed along the a axis by a C–H···O hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.416(9) ? and C–H···O = 135°] to give an [100] double-chain. The double-chain is packed in the [010] direction by a C–H···O=C hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.532(9) ? and C–H···O = 150°]. Further the intermolecular C–H···N hydrogen bond involving the cyclopentadienyl group as a hydrogen-bond donor and pyrazine N atom as an acceptor [H···O = 2.71, C···N = 3.536(10) ? and C–H···N = 148°] leads to a three-dimensional framework structure.

Hydrogen Bonded 3D Supramolecular Architectures of Two Organic Salts Assembled from 2-Aminoheterocyclic Compounds and Phosphoric Acid

Abstract  

Two phosphate salts (2-aminopyrimidine): (phosphoric acid): H₂O [HL1⁺ (H₂PO₄) ⁻ ]·H₂O (1), and (4-phenylthiazol-2-amine): (phosphoric acid) [HL2⁺·(H₂PO₄)⁻] (2) based on 2-aminoheterocyclic compounds, 2-aminopyrimidine (L1), and 4-phenylthiazol-2-amine (L2) were prepared and structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic, space group P-1, with a = 6.2201(7) Å, b = 8.6139(9) Å, c = 9.4800(10) Å, α = 109.685(2)°, β = 106.3340(10)°, γ = 95.4450(10)°, V = 448.72(8) Å³, Z = 2. For 1, the cations were linked to each other via intermolecular C–H···N hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D chain structure running along the a-axis direction. The anions and the water molecules were connected alternatively along the a-axis direction through O–H···O hydrogen bonds to form a 1-D chain also. The cationic chains and the anionic chains were alternatively connected along the c-axis direction through N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds to form a 2D corrugated sheet. Adjacent sheets were combined together through π–π interaction to form double sheet. These double sheets were further joined together by O–H···O and N–H···O hydrogen bonds to produce a 3D network structure. Compound 2 crystallizes in the Orthorhombic, space group Pbca, with a = 10.1929(10) Å, b = 8.4406(9) Å, c = 27.589(2) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°, V = 2373.6(4) Å³, Z = 8. In 2, the phosphates formed 1D chain along the b-axis through two P–O–H···O = P hydrogen bonds. The cations formed 1D zigzag chain along the b-axis direction under the CH–π interaction. The anionic chains were intercalated between two adjacent cationic chains through N–H···O, O–H···O, C–H···O, and O–S contacts. Such stacking repeated along the c-axis direction to form a 3D network structure.

In the title compound, [C₁₄H₁₉N₄O₃ ⁺, C₉H₅ O₂ ⁻, H₂O, O0.52] the asymmetric unit contains a protonated trimethoprim cation and a cinnamate anion and two water molecules. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction.

The cinnamate group is disordered. The trimethoprim (TMP) molecule is protonated at one of the pyrimidine nitrogen atoms. The carboxylate group of the cinnamate anion interacts with the protonated pyrimidine atom N1 and the 2-amino group via a pair of N–H···O hydrogen bonds, generating the R₂²(8) ring motif. The inversion related TMP cations are paired via N–H···N hydrogen bonds. In addition to the base pairing, the O1W atom bridges the 2-amino and 4-amino groups on either side of the paired bases, resulting in a self complementary DADA array. Two inversion related TMP cations and water molecules (O1W) are linked via N–H···O and O–H···O hydrogen bonds, forming a 22 membered ring with graph-set R₄⁴(22).

Abstract  

The title compound, C₂₀H₁₇NO, crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2₁2₁2₁ space group with unit cell parameters a = 7.6903(7) ?, b = 18.979(2) ?, c = 19.753(2) ?, with two crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit, which differ from one another in the slight rotation of the phenyl ring; this allows the formation of three internal hydrogen bonds, two of the type C–H···N and one of the type C–H···O, in one of the molecules, in contrast with only two of the type C–H···N in the other. The compound is rich in aromatic π rings and therefore the crystal packing is entirely dominated by cohesive weak C–H···π interactions among neighboring molecules producing an efficient packing with 71.2% of occupied space.
