Structure of Methyl N-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-N′-cyano-carbamimidothioate and Methyl N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate

Abstract  

The title compounds, Methyl N-(4-methoxyphenylmethyl)-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, I, and Methyl N-[1-(phenylmethyl)-4-piperidinyl]-N′-cyanocarbamimidothioate, II, have been designed and synthesized for use as new potential organic molecular electronic materials. The crystal structure of I and II were determined with crystal data (I: Monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 4.746(2) ?, b = 5.737(3) ?, c = 17.399(7) ?, β = 91.667(7)o, R _all = 0.0703; II: Orthorhombic, Pna2₁, a = 18.209(8) ?, b = 11.463(5) ?, c = 7.539(3) ?, β = 90.00 o, R _all = 0.0481). N–H···N hydrogen bonds were responsible for the formation of one-dimensional zigzag molecular chains of I, and trifurcated hydrogen-bonded molecular chains were indicated in structure of II. C–H···π and C–H···N hydrogen bonds were found in both structures. All these types of interaction together form an extended three-dimensional network and stabilize the title crystals.     

The molecular structure of acetato[2-(pyridin-2′-yl)phenyl]mercury(II)

The crystal structure of the title compound was determined by X-ray crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system witha=8.152(4),b=17.994(7),c=8.634(9) Å, =108.92(5)°, space group P2₁/c (N:14),V=1198.02 ų,Z=4. The mercuryl(II) atom forms two strong, almost colinear bonds (bond angle 176.1(4)°) with a carbon of the phenyl ring (Hg–C=1.99(1) Å) and one of the acetate oxygen atoms (Hg–O(1)=2.005(7) Å). These primary bonds are supplemented by secondary intramolecular interactions with the pyridine nitrogen (Hg...N=2.727(9) Å) and the other acetate oxygen (Hg...O(2)=2.925(8) Å), although the latter is very weak and the acetate anion therefore practically monodentate. Weak additional intermolecular Hg–C and Hg–O(1)interactions contribute to the lattice structure.     

Synthesis, crystal structure, and properties of the adduct of bis(O,O′-diisopropyl dithiophosphato)nickel(II) with pyridine [Ni(i-Pr2dtp)2(py)2]

A new adduct bis(pyridine)-bis(O,O-diisopropyl dithiophosphato-S,S)nickel(II), [Ni(i-Pr₂dtp)₂(py)₂] (dtp = dithiophosphate, py = pyridine) has been obtained by re-crystallization from CH₃COCH₃. The crystal and molecular structure of the title complex has been determined by X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c, with lattice parameters a = 6.4890(13) Å, b = 16.386(3) Å, c = 14.830(3) Å, = 99.74(3)°, V = 1554.1(5) ų, and Z = 2. The crystal structure consists of discrete molecules of [Ni(i-Pr₂dtp)₂(py)₂], which displays a slightly distorted octahedral geometry for the NiS₄N₂ chromophore. Two O,O-diisopropyl dithiophosphate ions act as bidentate ligands with their S atoms coordinated to Ni atom. Each forms a four-membered chelate ring in the equatorial plane. The N atoms from two pyridine ligands are axially coordinated to the Ni atom. The Ni S bond distances are 2.4492(8) Å and 2.5711(9) Å, and the Ni bond distances are 2.127(3) Å. Thermal analyses show that the thermal decomposition of this adduct is so unstable that loss of two pyridine ligands begins at about 65°C. Electronic and IR spectra data is in agreement with the structural data.

The mercury atom is coordinated to the phenyl carbon atom and to a ligand sulphur atom in an almost linear arrangement (C-Hg-S angle, 176.0(2)°. The ligand is almost monodentate, its second sulphur atom only being involved in a weak secondary intermolecular bond.IR and Raman studies of the other two compounds suggest the same coordination scheme. Positive ion FAB and¹³C,³¹P and¹⁹⁹Hg NMR spectra are also discussed.

The coordination geometry of each Zn atom, by two S atoms from two (O,O-diisopropyldithiophosphato) anions and by two N atoms from phenanthroline ligand, is that of a slightly distorted tetrahedron [Zn—S 2.2914(8)Å Zn—N 2.111(2)Å]. The Zn···S distances to the noncoordinated S atoms are long: 3.5276 Å, which are indicated that there are much weaker interactions between them.

This feature could be responsible for the difference in biological activity. In both compounds, the molecules are associated, forming charge-transfer complexes.
