Intra- and intermolecular interactions in crystals ofN′-furfurylideneisonicotinic hydrazide and related compounds. IR spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction studies

The reaction of isonicotinic hydrazide with furfural yieldedN′-furfurylideneisonicotinic hydrazide. IR spectroscopic studies demonstrated that crystallization from different solvents afforded products with an intermolecular NH...O=C hydrogen bond. Conditions of crystallization were chosen under which single crystals with the NH...N_Py intermolecular hydrogen bond (1) were grown. X-ray diffraction analysis demonstrated that the molecular and crystal structure of1 is identical to that ofN′-thienylideneisonicotinic hydrazide (2). The crystal structure consists of layers. The molecules in the layers are linked in zigzag chains through NH...N_Py intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The molecules of the adjacent chains (in the layer) are linked through C=O...H?C intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the O atom of the carbonyl group and the α-H atom of the furan ring. (In the structure of2, the chains are linked through specific intermolecular interactions of different nature but with approximately identical energy.) The replacement of the thiophene fragment (2) by the furan ring (1) is accompanied by a change in the intramolecular electronic effects, which is reflected both in the geometric and spectral characteristics of the molecules in the crystal.

Orthorhombic Pna2₁ space group, Z = 4; crystal data: C₃₂H₄₂N₁₂O₉Ni, M = 797.49, a = 24.426(4), b = 11.0326(18), c = 13.980(2)Å for II. The X-ray analysis reveals that Co²⁺ ion and Ni²⁺ ion resides in a approximate sdistorted octahedron center. In I, the complex was linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in a 1D chain configuration. In II, the complex was linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds, resulting in a 2D network configuration.     

Influence of intermolecular interactions on the conformation of a 2-[bis(2-ethylphenyl)thiophosphorylhydroxymethyl]-1-ethylbenzimidazole molecule (L) upon complex formation with ZnCl2: Crystal and molecular structures of molecule L

The structures and conformations of a 2-[bis(2-ethylphenyl)thiophosphorylhydroxymethyl]-1-ethylbenzimidazole (L) molecule in the free form (L_fr) and in the [ZnCl₂L]L complex (I) are compared using the X-ray diffraction data. In complex I, one ligand molecule (L_c) is coordinated to the zinc atom in the bidentate chelating mode and the second molecule (L_solv) accomplishes the solvating function. An isomer with the cis orientation of the O(1) atom to the N(1) atom is observed in the crystal structure of L_fr, like L_solv in complex I, with the formation of the five-membered corrugated H-heterocycle OC₂NH. L_fr and L_solv molecules differ in the arrangement of the aromatic rings of the 2R substituent of benzimidazole. Crystalline compound L forms dimeric associates in which three conjugate H-rings are closed by a bifurcate intermolecular hydrogen bond: two five-membered ONC₂H rings and one planar four-membered N₂H₂ ring ((N(1)…N(1A), 3.705 and H(1)…H(1A) 2.67 Å). Unlike crystals of compound I with the π-π-stacking interaction between the planar-parallel aromatic rings of benzimidazole of the L_solv and L_c molecules, the crystals of L have no similar interaction between the L_fr molecules.

The chains in the crystal are arranged in layers parallel to the (101) plane due to secondary intermolecular F…F and π–π-stacking interactions.

These different entities are connected together only by a 3D hydrogen bond network. The thermodiffractometry and the thermogravimetric analyses indicate that the decomposition of the supramolecular precursors proceeds through several stages leading to cadmuim oxide.
