The three crystal structures illustrate that the metal ion is six-coordinated by two pydc’s. In structures of 2 and 3, it can be seen that propane-1,3-diaminium fragments have different conformations. The complexes have ion-pairing interactions, O–H···O, N–H···O and C–H···O hydrogen bonds, π–π stacking as well as van der Waals forces as the main factors in formation of their supramolecular structures.

X-ray Diffraction and DFT Studies of 2-Methoxy-5-phenylaniline

Abstract 2-Methoxy-5-phenylaniline, a promissor monomer for PANI studies, has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at two temperatures: orthorhombic, space group P2₁2₁2₁, Z = 12 with a = 5.9900(2) ?, b = 20.4873(6) ?, c = 26.3727(8) ? and R = 0.0868 for 293(2) K and a = 5.8337(9) ?, b = 20.4428(31) ?, c = 26.0773(40) ? and R = 0.0669 for 120(2) K. There are three independent molecules in the unit cell. One of them is approximately planar, the other two have the phenyl rings rotated. At room temperature the two latter molecules are joined in dimers through H-bonds and at low temperature the same molecules are joined in columns that run along the a-axis.

Sobral 2-Methoxy-5-phenylaniline, a promissor monomer for PANI studies, has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 293(2) K and 120(2) K. The three independent molecules in the unit cell show different conformations and establish distinct intermolecular H-bonds.
