Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4,5-Diazafluorene-9-one Azine Hydrochloride Hydrate

1 INTRODUCTION During the study of polynuclear complexes with the aim to investigate the magnetic super-exchange interaction between the adjacent metal ions bridged by a conjugation molecule1], we have made efforts to prepare complexes bridged by 4, 5-diazafluorene-9-one azine (DAA) and found that the coordination ability of DAA is poor in the acidic solution. In order to probe the reason, DAA has been crystallized from the hydrochloric acid solution and its crystal structure has b…

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 4, 5-Diazafluorene-9-one Azine Hydrochloride Hydrate

Crystals of the title compound C22H12N62HCl?H2O (DAA稨Cl) were obtained from a HCl aqueous solution of 4, 5-diazafluorene-9-one azine. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 5.203(3), b = 8.991(3), c = 22.17(1) , b = 92.13(4), V = 1036.2(9) 3, Z = 2, C22H18N6O2Cl2, Mr = 468.1, Dc = 1.503 g/cm3, F(000) = 484, m(MoKa) = 0.344 mm-1, R = 0.052 and wR = 0.056 for 755 observed reflections. The Cl…N(2) distance of 2.999(6) ?and Cl…HN(2) angle of 160.8(8)o imply the existence of a stronger H-bond between Cl and DAA. And both the rather longer ClH distance of 1.814(2) ?and the unexpected shorter N(2)H distance of 1.236(6) ?suggest the protonation of DAA molecule and explain the weak coordination ability of DAA to a metal center in the acidic solution.
