Thermochemical study of three dimethylpyrazine derivatives

The standard (p ⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, at T-298.15 K, for 2,5-dimethylpyrazine (2,5-DMePz) and for the two dimethylpyrazine-N,N′-dioxide derivatives, 2,3-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (2,3-DMePzDO) and 2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (2,5-DMePzDO), were derived from the measurements of standard massic energies of combustion, using a static bomb calorimeter, and from the standard molar enthalpies of vaporization or sublimation, measured by Calvet microcalorimetry. The mean values for the molar dissociation enthalpy of the nitrogen-oxygen bonds, 〈DH _m⁰〉(N-O), were derived for both N,N′-dioxide compounds. These values are discussed in terms of the molecular structure of the two N,N′-dioxide derivatives and compared with 〈DH _m⁰〉(N-O) values previously obtained for other N-oxide derivatives.     

Experimental thermochemical study of the enthalpies of formation and sublimation of isonicotinamide,picolinamide, nicotinamide,isonicotinamideN-oxide,and nicotinamideN-oxide. The dissociation enthalpies of the N–O bonds

The standard (p ^∘  =  0.1MPa) molar enthalpies of combustion in oxygen, at T =  298.15 K, for crystalline picolinamide (2-NH₂COPy), nicotinamide (3-NH₂COPy), isonicotinamide (4-NH₂COPy), nicotinamide N -oxide (3- NH₂COPyNO), and isonicotinamide N - oxide (4-NH₂COPyNO) were measured by static-bomb calorimetry. These values were used to derive the standard molar enthalpies of formation of the crystalline compounds. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T =  298.15 K, for the three pyridinecarboxamide isomers were measured by microcalorimetry and the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation for the two pyridinecarboxamide N -oxide compounds were measured by a mass-loss effusion technique. From the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous compounds, the molar dissociation enthalpies D_m^oof the (N ⁺ – O ⁻ ) covalent bonds were derived. Comparison has been made with D_m^o(N–O) values in pyridine N -oxide derivatives.     

Computational investigation on 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyridine-1-oxide crystal

Density functional theory calculations were performed on crystalline 2,6-diamino-3,5-dinitropyridine-1-oxide (ANPyO). The conduct bands are generally quite flat, while the valence bands are uneven. The carbon, oxygen and amino nitrogen atoms make up the narrow lower energy levels. While the carbon, amino nitrogen and atoms in nitro group make up the higher energy levels. Change of electronic charges for the decrease of the cell edge a and c are almost the same, but different from the decrease of the cell edge b, indicating an anisotropic effect related to compressions. The C-Nitro and the N–O (N-oxide) bonds are the weakest, and tend to rupture upon external stimulation. The Mulliken population for the N–O (N-oxide) bond in crystal is much smaller than that in molecule, indicating that the molecular packing weakens this bond. Judged by the fact of N–O (N-oxide) bond being weaker than C-Nitro bond, ANPyO is sensitive to mechanic impact than 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene, which is in good agreement with experiment. The crystal lattice energy is predicted to be −166.03 kJ/mol, after being corrected for basis set superposition error.

The standard (p⁰=0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, Δ_fH_m⁰, for crystalline phthalimides: phthalimide, N-ethylphthalimide and N-propylphthalimide were derived from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, in oxygen, at the temperature 298.15 K, measured by static bomb-combustion calorimetry, as, respectively, – (318.0±1.7), – (350.1±2.7) and – (377.3±2.2) kJ mol^–1. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, Δ_cr^gH_m⁰, at T=298.15 K were derived by the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, from the temperature dependence of the vapour pressures for phthalimide, as (106.9±1.2) kJ mol^–1 and from high temperature Calvet microcalorimetry for phthalimide, N-ethylphthalimide and N-propylphthalimide as, respectively, (106.3±1.3), (91.0±1.2) and (98.2±1.4) kJ mol^–1. The derived standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous state, are analysed in terms of enthalpic increments and interpreted in terms of molecular structure.

The synthesis, spectral characterization and crystal structures of two nitrobenzoatocopper(II) complexes, namely [Cu(2-O₂Nbz)₂(pca)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) and [Cu(3,5-(O₂N)₂bz)₂(pca)₂(H₂O)₂] (2) (where 2-O₂Nbz = 2-nitrobenzoate, 3,5-(O₂N)₂bz = 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, pca = pyrazinecarboxamide), are reported. Complexes 1 and 2 consist of centrosymmetric molecules with the Cu(II) atom monodentately coordinated by a pair of anionic 2-nitrobenzoato (1) or 3,5-dinitrobenzoato (2) ligands and a pair of pyrazinecarboxamide ligands, forming a nearly tetragonal basal plane, and by a pair of water ligands that complete the tetragonal–bipyramidal coordination polyhedron. The molecules of both complexes are linked by N–H⋯O and O–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and lie in planes, which have different orientations depending on the space group. Similar experiments with 3-nitrobenzoic acid resulted in the isolation of the hydrolysis product [Cu(pyzCOO)₂] _n (3) (pyzCOO = pyrazinecarboxylate). The known crystal structure of complex 3 has been re-determined at low temperature with significantly higher precision. The crystal packing and C–H⋯O/C–H⋯N hydrogen bonds are discussed.     

Conformational properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">ortho</Emphasis>-nitrobenzenesulfonamide in gas and crystalline phases. Intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bond

A combined gas-phase electron diffraction and quantum chemical (B3LYP/6-311+G**, B3LYP/cc-pvtz, MP2/cc-pvtz) study of molecular structure of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonamide (2-NBSA) was carried out. Quantum chemical calculations showed that 2-NBSA has four conformers, two of which are stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bond. The latter (with the S–N bond in a close to orthogonal position around the phenyl ring and differing from each other by staggered or eclipsed positions of the N–H and S=O bonds in the SO₂NH₂ group) presented in a saturated vapor over 2-NBSA at T = 433 (3) K in commensurable amounts. Experimental internuclear distances (Ǻ) for the staggered conformer are (?): r _h1(C–H)_av. = 1.071(9), r _h1(C–C)_av. = 1.390(4), r _h1(C–S) = 1.789(8), r _h1(S=O)_av. = 1.427(6), r _h1(S–N) = 1.644(6), r _h1(N–O)_av. = 1.221(4), r _h1(C′–N) = 1.487(8), r _h1(N–H)_av. = 1.014. Calculations at B3LYP/cc-pvtz level were performed to determine the structure and the energies of the transition states between conformers. It was shown that the conformer structures of free molecule differ from those of a molecule stabilized by intermolecular hydrogen bonds in a crystal. Influence of a substituent X (X = –CH₃, –NO₂) on conformational features of the ortho-substituted benzenesulfonamide was established.

The Calvet high temperature vacuum sublimation technique was used to measure the enthalpies of sublimation of 2- and 3-cyanobenzoic acids. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of the three compounds, in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, have been derived from the corresponding standard molar enthalpies of formation in the condensed phase and standard molar enthalpies for phase transition.

Standard molar enthalpies of formation were also estimated by employing two different methodologies: one based on the Cox scheme and the other one based on several different computational approaches. The calculated values show a good agreement with the experimental values obtained in this work.

From the temperature dependence of the vapour pressures, the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation and the enthalpies of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds N−H⋯O were calculated. The temperature and molar enthalpy of fusion of the studied isomers were measured using differential scanning calorimetry. The values of the standard (p^° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpy of formation in the crystalline phase, at T = 298.15 K, of the compounds studied were derived from their standard massic energies of combustion measured by static-bomb combustion calorimetry. From the experimental values, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase, at T = 298.15 K, were calculated and compared with the values estimated by employing computational calculations that were conducted using different quantum chemical methods: G3(MP2), G3, and CBS-QB3. Good agreement between experimental and theoretical results is verified. The aromaticity of the compounds has been evaluated through nucleus independent chemical shifts (NICS) calculations.

Complex 1 has a centrosymmetric structure with –N–N– bridged Cu₃ skeleton. Neighboring molecules are linked into a 3D supermolecular framework by π–π stacking interactions, N–H···Cl and C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Complexes 2 and 3 have similar planar structures but different dimers formed by concomitant Cu···N and Cu···O interactions, respectively. Solvent accessible voids with a volume of 391 ?³ are included in the structure of complex 2, indicating that this complex is a potential host candidate.

DFT studies and AIM analysis of intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds in 3-aminomethylene-2 methoxy-5,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-2λ5-[1,2]oxaphosphinin-4-one and its derivatives

The intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds in 3-aminomethylene-2 methoxy-5,6-dimethyl-2-oxo-2,3-dihydro-2λ⁵-[1,2]oxaphosphinin-4-one and its derivatives (F, H, Li, -BeH) were studied by DFT (density functional theory) methods. The results of calculations were obtained at B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level on model species, with the resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds (RAHB). Topological parameters such an electron density, its Laplacian, kinetic electron energy density, potential electron energy density, and total electron energy density at the bond critical points (BCP) of H···O/N–H contact bonds from Bader’s ‘Atoms in molecules’ (AIM) theory were analyzed in details. The energy of the N–H···O interactions studied here was found rather weak (E _HB = 2.53–12.08 kcal/mol). The results of AIM ellipticity indicated π-delocalization over all six atoms within ring.     

Thermochemical properties of two nitrothiophene derivatives

This article reports the values of the standard (p ^o = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the gaseous phase, \Updelta_\textf H_\textm^\texto ( \textg ), {{\Updelta}}_{\text{f}} H_{\text{m}}^{\text{o}} \left( {\text{g}} \right), at T = 298.15 K, of 2-acetyl-5-nitrothiophene and 5-nitro-2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde as −(48.8 ± 1.6) and (4.4 ± 1.3) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. These values were derived from experimental thermodynamic parameters, namely, the standard (p ^o = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline phase, \Updelta_\textf H_\textm^\texto ( \textcr ) , {{\Updelta}}_{\text{f}} H_{\text{m}}^{\text{o}} \left( {\text{cr}} \right) , at T = 298.15 K, obtained from the standard molar enthalpies of combustion, \Updelta_\textc H_\textm^\texto , {{\Updelta}}_{\text{c}} H_{\text{m}}^{\text{o}} , measured by rotating bomb combustion calorimetry, and from the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, at T = 298.15 K, determined from the temperature–vapour pressure dependence, obtained by the Knudsen mass loss effusion method. The results are interpreted in terms of enthalpic increments and the enthalpic contribution of the nitro group in the substituted thiophene ring is compared with the same contribution in other structurally similar compounds.
