Two novel trinuclear cluster-based coordination polymers with 2,6-Di-imidazol-1-yl-pyridine: solvothermal syntheses,crystal structures,properties and Hirshfeld surface analysis

Two novel trinuclear cluster-based coordination polymers {[M₃(dip)(AcO)₆]·(X)}_n (1, M = Cu, X = CH₃OH; 2, M = Co, X = 2H₂O) (dip is 2,6-Di-imidazol-1-yl-pyridine), have been synthesised and structurally determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction, element analysis. Crystallographic unit of 1 consists of three Cu(II), six acetic ions, one dip ligand and one methanol molecule, which formed 1D chain through acetic bridges. The 1D chain further constructed 2-D network through dip ligand bridge which formed 3-D network through π···π interaction. Crystallographic unit of 2 consists of three Co(II), six acetic ions, one dip ligand and two water molecules. The trinuclear unit further formed a dimmer through dip ligand bridge which constructed 1-D through dip ligand bridge. The 1D chain further constructed 2-D network through π···π interaction. IR and UV–vis spectrum properties of 1 and 2 were studied. In addition, Hirshfeld surface analysis was also studied for 1.     

Mixed Ligand Palladium(Ⅱ) Complex with NS-Bidentate S-Allyldithiocarbazate Schiff Base: Synthesis, Spectral Char-acterization, Crystal Structure and Decoding Intermolecular Interactions with Hirshfeld Surface Analysis

A new mixed ligand palladium(II) complex with bidentate NS‐donor chelate, [PdCl(PPh₃)L] (L: S‐allyl β‐N‐(benzylidene)dithiocarbazate), has been prepared and characterized using single crystal X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic (electronic, IR, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR) techniques. The shorter Pd? P bond distance, 2.255(7) Å, than the sum of the single bond radii for palladium and phosphorus (2.41 Å), showed partial double bond character. Visualizing and exploring the crystal structure using Hirshfeld surface analysis showed the presence of π··· π, N··· π, C? H··· π, Cl···H and weak C? H···S interactions as most important intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattice, which are responsible to extension of the supramolecular network of the compound and stabilization of the crystal structure.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Structural Investigation and Characterization of an Organic-inorganic Hybrid, [Co(BⅡM)_3]_2H[BW_(12)O_(40)]·7H_2O

An organic-inorganic hybrid based on α-Keggin-typed [BW12O40]5- anionic cluster, [Co(BⅡM)3]2H[BW12O40]·7H2O(BⅡM = 2,2′-biimidazole), was hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, IR and UV spectra. The title compound crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 12.3490(10), b = 33.270(3), c = 18.9660(16) β = 105.9950(10)°, V = 7490.5(11) 3, C36H50BCo2N24O47W12, Mr = 3905.80, Dc = 3.451g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 18.886 mm-1, F(000) = 6972, Z = 4, S = 1.004, the final R = 0.0404 and wR = 0.0914 for 14683 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). The compound consists of two isolated [Co(BⅡM)3]2+ cations and one [BW12O40]5- anion, in which each Co2+ ion is coordinated by six N atoms from three BⅡM ligands displaying a regular CoN6 octahedron. These components are finally linked together via N–H···O(polyoxometalate and water) hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional framework. Full investigation of the intermolecular interactions by Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots clearly indicates that there are rare W–Oterminal···πimidazole ring interactions which cooperate with the classical N–H···O hydrogen bonds to stabilize the structural packing.     

Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis and Quantum Mechanical Study of a Cocrystal Based on 1,3-Di（4-pyridyl）propane and 3-（（4~′-Carboxybenzyl）oxy） Benzoic Acid

A cocrystal based on 1,3-di(4-pyridyl)propane and 3-((4′-carboxybenzyl)oxy)benzoic acid,C13H14N2·C15H12O5,has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The compound crystallizes in monoclinic,space group P21 /c with a = 11.639(4),b = 9.808(3),c = 20.854(6),β = 91.242(7)°,V = 2380.0(13)3,C28H26N2O5,Mr = 470.51,Dc = 1.313 g/cm3,μ(MoKα) = 0.091 mm-1,F(000) = 992,Z = 4,the final R = 0.0677 and wR = 0.1477 for 4175 observed reflections(I > 2σ(I)).Intermolecular N H···O hydrogen bonds link two kinds of components into a one-dimensional chain in [10-1] direction and adjacent chains are further arranged into a two-dimensional network by π···π and C H···π interactions.Investigation of intermolecular interactions and crystal packing via Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the close contacts are mainly focused on weak interactions.The theoretical investigations with HF/6-31G(d) method were performed,and its stability,frontier molecular orbital composition and Mulliken charge distribution were also discussed.

Concomitant polymorphs of 1,3‐bis(3‐fluorophenyl)urea

Hydrogen bonding between urea functionalities is a common structural motif employed in crystal‐engineering studies. Crystallization of 1,3‐bis(3‐fluorophenyl)urea, C₁₃H₁₀F₂N₂O, from many solvents yielded concomitant mixtures of at least two polymorphs. In the monoclinic form, one‐dimensional chains of hydrogen‐bonded urea molecules align in an antiparallel orientation, as is typical of many diphenylureas. In the orthorhombic form, one‐dimensional chains of hydrogen‐bonded urea molecules have a parallel orientation rarely observed in symmetrically substituted diphenylureas.     

Hirshfeld surface analysis of two new phosphorothioic triamide structures

Hirshfeld surfaces and two‐dimensional fingerprint plots are used to analyse the intermolecular interactions in two new phosphorothioic triamide structures, namely N,N′,N′′‐tris(3,4‐dimethylphenyl)phosphorothioic triamide acetonitrile hemisolvate, P(S)[NHC₆H₃‐3,4‐(CH₃)₂]₃·0.5CH₃CN or C₂₄H₃₀N₃PS·0.5CH₃CN, (I), and N,N′,N′′‐tris(4‐methylphenyl)phosphorothioic triamide–3‐methylpiperidinium chloride (1/1), P(S)[NHC₆H₄(4‐CH₃)]₃·[3‐CH₃‐C₅H₉NH₂]⁺·Cl⁻ or C₂₁H₂₄N₃PS·C₆H₁₄N⁺·Cl⁻, (II). The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of two independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules and one acetonitrile solvent molecule, whereas for (II), the asymmetric unit is composed of three components (molecule, cation and anion). In the structure of (I), the different components are organized into a six‐molecule aggregate through N—H...S and N—H...N hydrogen bonds. The components of (II) are aggregated into a two‐dimensional array through N—H...S and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. Moreover, interesting features of packing arise in this structure due to the presence of a double hydrogen‐bond acceptor (the S atom of the phosphorothioic triamide molecule) and of a double hydrogen‐bond donor (the N—H unit of the cation). For both (I) and (II), the full fingerprint plot of each component is asymmetric as a consequence of the presence of three fragments. These analyses reveal that H...H interactions [67.7 and 64.3% for the two symmetry‐independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules of (I), 30.7% for the acetonitrile solvent of (I), 63.8% in the phosphorothioic triamide molecule of (II) and 62.9% in the 3‐methylpiperidinium cation of (II)] outnumber the other contacts for all the components in both structures, except for the chloride anion of (II), which only receives the Cl...H contact. The phosphorothioic triamide molecules of both structures include unsaturated C atoms, thus presenting C...H/H...C interactions: 17.6 and 21% for the two symmetry‐independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules in (I), and 22.7% for the phosphorothioic triamide molecule of (II). Furthermore, the N—H...S hydrogen bonds in both (I) and (II), and the N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds in (II), are the most prominent interactions, appearing as large red spots on the Hirshfeld surface maps. The N...H/H...N contacts in structure (I) are considerable, whereas for (II), they give a negligible contribution to the total interactions in the system.

Structural Investigation, Quantum Mechanical Study and Hirshfeld Surface Analysis of One Novel Adduct Based on Aminopyridinium and Biphenyl-2,4'-dicarboxylate

One novel adduct based on aminopyridinium and biphenyl-2,4′-dicarboxylate, C5H7N2+·C14H9O4-, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray structural study. The compound crystallizes in trigonal, space group P32 with a = 9.2886(16), b = 9.2886(16), c = 16.746(6) , γ = 120°, V = 1251.2(5) 3, C19H16N2O4, Mr = 336.34, Dc = 1.339 g/cm3, μ(MoKα) = 0.095 mm-1, F(000) = 528, Z = 3, the final R = 0.0438 and wR = 0.1119 for 3097 observed reflections (Ⅰ > 2σ(Ⅰ)). Its electronic structure was calculated at the RHF/6-31G(d) level and a detailed analysis of intermolecular interactions was used by Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plot. Intermolecular N-H…O hydrogen bonds link two components generating R22(8) rings which are linked into three one-dimensional chains in the [100], [010] and [110] directions, and these chains are finally arranged into a three-dimensional framework by hydrogen bonds. Investigation of intermolecular interactions via Hirshfeld surface analysis reveals that the close contacts are mainly associated with the classical hydrogen bonding interactions. The HOMO-LUMO energy gap of the compound indicates a higher kinetic stability.

Synthesis and Structural Characterization of Pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide and Furan-2,5-dicarboxamide Derivatives

Derivatives based on pyridine-2-6- and furan-2,5-dicarboxamide scaffolds reveal numerous chemical properties and biological activities. This fact makes them an exciting research topic in supramolecular and coordination chemistry and in discovering new pharmacologically-active compounds. This work aimed to obtain a series of symmetrical pyridine-2-6- and furan-2,5-dicarboxamides through a condensation reaction of the appropriate acyl chlorides and aromatic amides. Successful syntheses were confirmed with NMR spectroscopy. We solved their crystal structures for seven compounds; two pyridine and five furan derivatives. Based on our crystallographic studies, we were able to indicate supramolecular features of the crystals under investigation. Additionally, Hirshfeld surface analysis allowed us to calculate a distribution of intermolecular contacts in the dicarboxamide crystals.
