The zwitterionic structure of 2‐hydroxy‐4‐[(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)amino]benzoic acid

The title compound, C₁₄H₁₁NO₄, exists in the solid phase in the zwitterionic form, 2‐{[(4‐carboxy‐3‐hydroxyphenyl)iminiumyl]methyl}phenolate, with the H atom from the phenol group on the 2‐hydroxybenzylidene ring transferred to the imine N atom, resulting in a strong intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bond between the iminium H atom and the phenolate O atom, forming a six‐membered hydrogen‐bonded ring. In addition, there is an intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond between the carboxylic acid group and the adjacent hydroxy group of the other ring, and an intermolecular C—H...O contact involving the phenol group and the C—H group adjacent to the imine bond, connecting the molecules into a two‐dimensional network in the (10) plane. π–π stacking interactions result in a three‐dimensional network. This study is important because it provides crystallographic evidence, supported by IR data, for the iminium zwitterionic form of Schiff bases.<!?tpb=12pt>     

Tuning the energy level of TAPC: crystal structure and photophysical and electrochemical properties of 4,4′‐(cyclohexane‐1,1‐diyl)bis[N,N‐bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)aniline]

The energy level of a hole‐transporting material (HTM) in organic electronics, such as organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs), is important for device efficiency. In this regard, we prepared 4,4′‐(cyclohexane‐1,1‐diyl)bis[N,N‐bis(4‐methoxyphenyl)aniline] ( TAPC‐OMe ), C₄₆H₄₆N₂O₄, to tune the energy level of 4,4′‐(cyclohexane‐1,1‐diyl)bis[N,N‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)aniline] ( TAPC ), which is a well‐known HTM commonly used in OLED applications. A systematic characterization of TAPC‐OMe , including ¹H and ¹³C NMR, elemental analysis, UV–Vis absorption, fluorescence emission, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, was performed. TAPC‐OMe crystallized in the triclinic space group P, with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The dihedral angles between the central amine triangular planes and those of the phenyl groups varied from 26.56 (9) to 60.34 (8)° due to the steric hindrance of the central cyclohexyl ring. This arrangement might be induced by weak hydrogen bonds and C—H…π(Ph) interactions in the extended structure. The emission maxima of TAPC‐OMe showed a significant bathochomic shift compared to that of TAPC . A strong dependency of the oxidation potentials on the nature of the electron‐donating ability of substituents was confirmed by comparing oxidation potentials with known Hammett parameters (σ).     

Planarity of benzoylthiocarbazate tuberculostatics. III. Diesters of 3‐(2‐hydroxybenzoyl)dithiocarbazic acid

Searches for new tuberculostatic agents are important considering the occurrence of drug‐resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis . The structures of three new potentially tuberculostatic compounds, namely isopropyl methyl (2‐hydroxybenzoyl)carbonohydrazonodithioate, C₁₂H₁₆N₂O₂S₂, (Z )‐benzyl methyl (2‐hydroxybenzoyl)carbonohydrazonodithioate, C₁₆H₁₆N₂O₂S₂, and dibenzyl (2‐hydroxybenzoyl)carbonohydrazonodithioate propan‐2‐ol monosolvate, C₂₂H₂₀N₂O₂S₂·C₃H₈O, were determined by X‐ray diffraction. The mutual orientation of the three main fragments of the compounds, namely an aromatic ring, a dithioester group and a hydrazide group, can influence the biological activity of the compounds. In all three of the structures studied, the C(=O)NH group is in the anti conformation. In addition, the presence of the hydroxy group in the ortho position of the aromatic ring in all three structures leads to the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond stabilizing the planarity of the molecules.     

Synthesis,structural characterization and thermal properties of a new copper(II) one‐dimensional coordination polymer based on bridging N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzylidene)‐2,2‐dimethylpropane‐1,3‐diamine and dicyanamide ligands

The design and synthesis of polymeric coordination compounds of 3d transition metals are of great interest in the search for functional materials. The coordination chemistry of the copper(II) ion is of interest currently due to potential applications in the areas of molecular biology and magnetochemistry. A novel coordination polymer of Cu^II with bridging N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,2‐dimethylpropane‐1,3‐diamine (H₂L‐DM) and dicyanamide (dca) ligands, catena‐poly[[[μ₂‐2,2‐dimethyl‐N,N′‐bis(2‐oxidobenzylidene)propane‐1,3‐diamine‐1:2κ⁶O,N,N′,O′:O,O′]dicopper(II)]‐di‐μ‐dicyanamido‐1:2′κ²N¹:N⁵;2:1′κ²N¹:N⁵], [Cu₂(C₁₉H₂₀N₂O₂)(C₂N₃)₂]_n, has been synthesized and characterized by CHN elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and X‐ray single‐crystal diffraction analysis. Structural studies show that the Cu^II centres in the dimeric asymmetric unit adopt distorted square‐pyramidal geometries, as confirmed by the Addison parameter (τ) values. The chelating characteristics of the L‐DM²⁻ ligand results in the formation of a Cu^II dimer with a double phenolate bridge in the asymmetric unit. In the crystal, the dimeric units are further linked to adjacent dimeric units through μ_1,5‐dca bridges to produce one‐dimensional polymeric chains.     

Synthesis,characterization, and molecular modeling studies of novel polyurethanes based on 2,2′‐[ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol and 2,2′‐[hexane‐1,6‐diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)] diphenol hard segments

Novel polyurethanes (PUs) based on 2,2′‐[ethane‐1,2‐diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol and 2,2′‐[hexane‐1,6‐diylbis(nitrilomethylylidene)]diphenol as hard segments containing four aromatic diisocyanates (4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene 2,4‐diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate) have been prepared. Fourier transform infrared, UV spectrophotometry, fluorescence spectroscopy, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and differential thermal analysis have been used to determine the structural characterization and thermal properties of the segmented PUs. All the PUs contain domains of both semicrystalline and amorphous structures, as indicated by X‐ray diffraction. The acoustic properties have been calculated with the group contribution method. Molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on all the PUs to estimate the cohesive energy density and solubility parameter values, which compare well with the values calculated with the group contribution method. Furthermore, the simulation protocols have been applied to the PUs to produce X‐ray diffraction plots to determine the phase morphology of the PUs. The surface properties of the PUs have been estimated from the simulation protocols. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 6032–6046, 2006     

Reaction‐path calculations and crystal structures of 1,1′‐(ethylene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dichloride dihydrate and 1,1′‐(ethylene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dibromide

The design of new organic–inorganic hybrid ionic materials is of interest for various applications, particularly in the areas of crystal engineering, supramolecular chemistry and materials science. The monohalogenated intermediates 1‐(2‐chloroethyl)pyridinium chloride, C₅H₅NCH₂CH₂Cl⁺·Cl⁻, (I′), and 1‐(2‐bromoethyl)pyridinium bromide, C₅H₅NCH₂CH₂Br⁺·Br⁻, (II′), and the ionic disubstituted products 1,1′‐(ethylene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dichloride dihydrate, C₁₂H₁₄N₂²⁺·2Cl⁻·2H₂O, (I), and 1,1′‐(ethylene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dibromide, C₁₂H₁₄N₂²⁺·2Br⁻, (II), have been isolated as powders from the reactions of pyridine with the appropriate 1,2‐dihaloethanes. The monohalogenated intermediates (I′) and (II′) were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, while (I) and (II) were structurally characterized using powder X‐ray diffraction. Both (I) and (II) crystallize with half the empirical formula in the asymmetric unit in the triclinic space group P. The organic 1,1′‐(ethylene‐1,2‐diyl)dipyridinium dications, which display approximate C2h symmetry in both structures, are situated on inversion centres. The components in (I) are linked via intermolecular O—H…Cl, C—H…Cl and C—H…O hydrogen bonds into a three‐dimensional framework, while for (II), they are connected via weak intermolecular C—H…Br hydrogen bonds into one‐dimensional chains in the [110] direction. The nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1,2‐dichloroethane and 1,2‐dibromoethane with pyridine have been investigated by ab initio quantum chemical calculations using the 6–31G** basis. In both cases, the reactions occur in two exothermic stages involving consecutive S_N2 nucleophilic substitutions. The isolation of the monosubstituted intermediate in each case is strong evidence that the second step is not fast relative to the first.     

Structural and spectroscopic characterization of a new luminescent NiII complex: bis{2,4‐dichloro‐6‐[(2‐hydroxypropyl)iminomethyl]phenolato‐κ3O,N,O′}nickel(II)

The design and preparation of transition‐metal complexes with Schiff base ligands are of interest due to their potential applications in the fields of molecular magnetism, nonlinear optics, dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), sensing and photoluminescence. Luminescent metal complexes have been suggested as potential phosphors in electroluminescent devices. A new luminescent nickel(II) complex, [Ni(C₁₀H₁₀Cl₂NO₂)₂], has been synthesized and characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and elemental analysis, UV–Vis, FT–IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and LC–MS/MS. Molecules of the complex in the crystals lie on special positions, on crystallographic binary rotation axes. The Ni^II atoms are six‐coordinated by two phenolate O, two imine N and two hydroxy O atoms from two tridentate Schiff base 2,4‐dichloro‐6‐[(2‐hydroxypropyl)iminomethyl]phenolate ligands, forming an elongated octahedral geometry. Furthermore, the complex exhibits a strong green luminescence emission in the solid state at room temperature, as can be seen from the (CIE) chromaticity diagram, and hence the complex may be a promising green OLED (organic light‐emitting diode) in the development of electroluminescent materials for flat‐panel‐display applications.     

Synthesis,structure and property of diorganotin N‐[(3‐methoxy‐2‐oxyphenyl)methylene]tyrosinates

Five new diorganotin N‐[(3‐methoxy‐2‐oxyphenyl)methylene] tyrosinates, R₂Sn[2‐O‐3‐MeOC₆H₃CH=NCH (CH₂C₆H₄OH‐4)COO] (R = Me, 1 ; Et, 2 ; Bu, 3 ; Cy, 4 ; Ph, 5 ), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) spectra, and the X‐ray single crystal diffraction. In non‐coordinated solvent, complexes 1 – 5 have penta‐coordinated tin atom. In the solid state, 1 – 3 are centrosymmetric dimmers in which each tin atom is seven‐coordinated in a distorted pentagonal bipyramid, and 4 displays discrete molecular structure with distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry, and the tin atom of 5 is hexa‐coordinated and possess the distorted octahedral geometry with a coordinational methanol molecule. The intermolecular O‐H???O hydrogen bonds in 1 – 4 link molecules into the different one‐dimensional supramolecular chain with R₂² (30) or R₂² (20) macrocycles, and the molecules of 5 are joined into a two‐dimensional supramolecular network containing R₄⁴ (24) and R₄⁴ (28) two macrocycles. Bioassay results against human tumour cell HeLa indicated that 3 ‐ 5 belonged to the efficient cytostatic agents and the activity decreased in the order 4 > 3 > 5 > 2 > 1. The fluorescence determinations show the complexes may be explored for potential luminescent materials.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and photophysical properties of 1,4‐bis(1,3‐diazaazulen‐2‐yl)benzene: a new π building block

A dimerized 1,3‐diazaazulene derivative, namely 1,4‐bis(1,3‐diazaazulen‐2‐yl)benzene [or 2,2′‐(1,4‐phenylene)bis(1,3‐diazaazulene)], C₂₂H₁₄N₄, (I), has been synthesized successfully through the condensation reaction between 2‐methoxytropone and benzene‐1,4‐dicarboximidamide hydrochloride, and was characterized by ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies, and ESI–MS. X‐ray diffraction analysis reveals that (I) has a nearly planar structure with good π‐electron delocalization, indicating that it might serve as a π building block. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system. One‐dimensional chains were formed along the a axis through π–π interactions and adjacent chains are stabilized by C—H…N interactions, forming a three‐dimensional architecture. The solid emission of (I) in the crystalline form exhibited a 170 nm red shift compared with that in the solution state. The observed optical bandgap for (I) is 3.22 eV and a cyclic voltammetry experiment confirmed the energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). The calculated bandgap for (I) is 3.37 eV, which is very close to the experimental result. In addition, the polarizability and hyperpolarizability of (I) were appraised for its further application in second‐order nonlinear optical materials.     

A half‐sandwich TaV dichlorido complex containing an O,N,O′‐tridentate Schiff base ligand: synthesis,crystal structure and in vitro cytotoxicity

A new electroneutral half‐sandwich tantalum(V) dichlorido complex containing pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) and the double‐deprotonated version of the Schiff base 2‐ethoxy‐6‐{(E)‐[(2‐hydroxyphenyl)imino]methyl}phenol (H₂L) as ligands, namely cis‐dichlorido(2‐ethoxy‐6‐{(E)‐[(2‐oxidophenyl)imino]methyl}phenolato‐κ³O,N,O′)(η⁵‐pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)tantalum(V), [Ta(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₁₅H₁₃NO₃)Cl₂] or [Ta(η⁵‐Cp*)(L)Cl₂], has been prepared and thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The molecular structure revealed that the Ta^V centre is coordinated by a η⁵‐Cp* ligand, two monodentate chlorido ligands and one O,N,O′‐tridentate L^2? ligand. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H…C, C—H…Cl and C…C intermolecular interactions. Moreover, the complex shows notable in vitro cytotoxicity against the A2780 human ovarian carcinoma cell line, with IC₅₀ = 14.4 µM, which is higher than that of the conventional platinum‐based anticancer drug cisplatin (IC₅₀ = 20.1 µM).     

Bis{μ‐2,2′‐[(butane‐2,3‐diylidene)bis(azanylylidene)]dibenzenethiolato}dizinc(II)–dimethyl sulfoxide–methanol (2/0.18/0.82)

The asymmetric unit in the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn₂(C₁₆H₁₄N₂S₂)₂]₂·0.18C₂H₆OS·0.82CH₃OH, consists of two ordered bis{μ‐2,2′‐[(butane‐2,3‐diylidene)bis(azanylylidene)]dibenzenethiolato}dizinc(II) molecules and a disordered solvent combination at the same location which refined to 18.1 (7)% dimethyl sulfoxide and 81.9 (7)% methanol. The compound has a metallic cluster structure formed by the joining together of two zinc(II) complex molecules, forming a rhomboidal Zn₂S₂ arrangement. This complex was previously suggested on the basis of nonstructural evidence to be a monomer [Jadamus, Fernando & Freiser (1964). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86 , 3056–3059]. Each Zn^II atom is five‐coordinated and exhibits distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. The structure may be of interest with respect to zinc–thiolate bonds, the coordination chemistry of Schiff bases and the folding of proteins. The structure displays weak intermolecular C—H...S, C—H...O and C—H...N interactions, and contains a unique bonding arrangement of the ligands around the Zn₂S₂ rhomboid.     

The search for formal electrostatic effects on molecular conformation and crystal packing: crystal structure of 2,2′′‐disubstituted (H versus PPh2) 1,1′‐(1,2‐phenylene)bis(3‐methyl‐1H‐imidazol‐3‐ium) bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate)

Electrostatic interactions between localized integral charges make the stability and structure of highly charged small and rigid organics intriguing. Can σ/π‐electron delocalization compensate reduced conformational freedom by lowering the repulsion between identical charges? The crystal structure of the title salt, C₁₄H₁₆N₄²⁺·2CF₃SO₃⁻, (2), is described and compared with that of the 2,2′′‐bis(diphenylphosphanyl) derivative, (4). The conformations of the dications and their interactions with neighbouring trifluoromethanesulfonate anions are first analyzed from the standpoint of formal electrostatic effects. Neither cation exhibits any geometrical strain induced by the intrinsic repulsion between the positive charges. In contrast, the relative orientation of the imidazolium rings [i.e. anti for (2) and syn for (4)] is controlled by different configurations of the interactions with the closest trifluoromethanesulfonate anions. The long‐range arrangement is also found to be specific: beyond the formal electrostatic packing, C—H…O and C—H…F contacts have no definite `hydrogen‐bond' character but allow the delineation of layers, which are either pleated or flat in the packing of (2) or (4), respectively.     

A three‐dimensional ZnII coordination framework: poly[[μ2‐(E)‐1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene][μ4‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato][μ2‐(E)‐2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoato]dizinc(II)]

In the title coordination polymer, [Zn₂(C₁₄H₈N₂O₄)₂(C₁₂H₁₀N₂)]_n, the asymmetric unit contains one Zn^II cation, two halves of 2,2′‐(diazene‐1,2‐diyl)dibenzoate anions (denoted L²⁻) and half of a 1,2‐bis(pyridin‐4‐yl)ethene ligand (denoted bpe). The three ligands lie across crystallographic inversion centres. Each Zn^II centre is four‐coordinated by three O atoms of bridging carboxylate groups from three L²⁻ ligands and by one N atom from a bpe ligand, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. Two Zn^II atoms are bridged by two carboxylate groups of L²⁻ ligands, generating a [Zn₂(CO₂)₂] ring. Each loop serves as a fourfold node, which links its four equivalent nodes via the sharing of four L²⁻ ligands to form a two‐dimensional [Zn₂L₄]_n net. These nets are separated by bpe ligands acting as spacers, producing a three‐dimensional framework with a 4⁶6⁴ topology. Powder X‐ray diffraction and solid‐state photoluminescence were also measured.     

Evaluation of N—H…S and N—H…π interactions in O,O′‐diethyl N‐(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)thiophosphate: a combination of X‐ray crystallographic and theoretical studies

In the crystal structure of O,O′‐diethyl N‐(2,4,6‐trimethylphenyl)thiophosphate, C₁₃H₂₂NO₂PS, two symmetrically independent thiophosphoramide molecules are linked through N—H…S and N—H…π hydrogen bonds to form a noncentrosymmetric dimer, with Z′ = 2. The strengths of the hydrogen bonds were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) at the M06‐2X level within the 6‐311++G(d,p) basis set, and by considering the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). It was found that the N—H…S hydrogen bond is slightly stronger than the N—H…π hydrogen bond. This is reflected in differences between the calculated N—H stretching frequencies of the isolated molecules and the frequencies of the same N—H units involved in the different hydrogen bonds of the hydrogen‐bonded dimer. For these hydrogen bonds, the corresponding charge transfers, i.e. lp (or π)→σ*, were studied, according to the second‐order perturbation theory in natural bond orbital (NBO) methodology. Hirshfeld surface analysis was applied for a detailed investigation of all the contacts participating in the crystal packing.     

Reaction of 2‐[(2‐aminoethyl)amino]ethanol with pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde and complexation of the products with CuII and CdII along with docking studies

The reaction between 2‐[2‐(aminoethyl)amino]ethanol and pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde in a 1:2 molar ratio affords a mixture containing 2‐({2‐[(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylidene)amino]ethyl}amino)ethanol (PMAE) and 2‐[2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)oxazolidin‐3‐yl]‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylidene)ethanamine (POPME). Treatment of this mixture with copper(II) chloride or cadmium(II) chloride gave trichlorido[(2‐hydroxyethyl)({2‐[(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylidene)amino]ethyl})azanium]copper(II) monohydrate, [Cu(C₁₀H₁₆N₃O)Cl₃]·H₂O or [Cu(HPMAE)Cl₃]·H₂O, 1 , and dichlorido{2‐[2‐(pyridin‐2‐yl)oxazolidin‐3‐yl]‐N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylidene)ethanamine}cadmium(II), [CdCl₂(C₁₆H₁₈N₄O)] or [CdCl₂(POPME)], 2 , which were characterized by elemental analysis, FT–IR, Raman and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. PMAE is potentially a tetradentate N₃O‐donor ligand but coordinates to copper here as an N₂ donor. In the structure of 1 , the geometry around the Cu atom is distorted square pyramidal. In 2 , the Cd atom has a distorted octahedral geometry. In addition to the hydrogen bonds, there are π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings in the crystal packing of 1 and 2 . The ability of PMAE, POPME and 1 to interact with ten selected biomolecules (BRAF kinase, CatB, DNA gyrase, HDAC7, rHA, RNR, TrxR, TS, Top II and B‐DNA) was investigated by docking studies and compared with doxorubicin.     

Synthesis,structural characterization and computational studies of catena‐poly[chlorido[μ3‐(pyridin‐1‐ium‐3‐yl)phosphonato‐κ3O:O′:O′′]zinc(II)]

Coordination polymers are constructed from two basic components, namely metal ions, or metal‐ion clusters, and bridging organic ligands. Their structures may also contain other auxiliary components, such as blocking ligands, counter‐ions and nonbonding guest or template molecules. The choice or design of a suitable linker is essential. The new title zinc(II) coordination polymer, [Zn(C₅H₅NO₃P)Cl]_n , has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and vibrational spectroscopy (FT–IR and FT–Raman). Additionally, computational methods have been applied to derive quantitative information about interactions present in the solid state. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/c . The four‐coordinated Zn^II cation is in a distorted tetrahedral environment, formed by three phosphonate O atoms from three different (pyridin‐1‐ium‐3‐yl)phosphonate ligands and one chloride anion. The Zn^II ions are extended by phosphonate ligands to generate a ladder chain along the [001] direction. Adjacent ladders are held together via N—H…O hydrogen bonds and offset face‐to‐face π–π stacking interactions, forming a three‐dimensional supramolecular network with channels. As calculated, the interaction energy between the neighbouring ladders is −115.2 kJ mol⁻¹. In turn, the cohesive energy evaluated per asymmetric unit‐equivalent fragment of a polymeric chain in the crystal structure is −205.4 kJ mol⁻¹. This latter value reflects the numerous hydrogen bonds stabilizing the three‐dimensional packing of the coordination chains.

The title molecule, N‐[4‐(3‐Methyl‐3‐phenyl‐cyclobutyl)‐thiazol‐2‐yl]‐N′‐pyridin‐3ylmethylene‐ hydrazine (C₂₀ H₂₀ N₄ S₁), was characterized by ¹H‐NMR, ¹³C‐NMR, IR, UV‐visible, and X‐ray determination. In addition to the molecular geometry from X‐ray experiment, the molecular geometry, vibrational frequencies and gauge including atomic orbital ¹H‐ and ¹³C‐NMR chemical shift values of the title compound in the ground state have been calculated using the Hartree‐Fock and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6‐31G(d, p) basis set. The calculated results show that optimized geometries can well reproduce the crystal structural parameters. By using time‐dependent density functional theory method, electronic absorption spectrum of the title compound has been predicted. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The title molecule, 3‐{[4‐(3‐methyl‐3‐phenyl‐cyclobutyl)‐thiazol‐2‐yl]‐hydrazono}‐1,3‐dihydro‐indol‐2‐one (C₂₂H₂₀N₄O₁S₁), was prepared and characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, UV–visible, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21 with a = 8.3401(5), b = 5.6976(3), c = 20.8155(14) Å, and β = 95.144(5)°. Molecular geometry from X‐ray experiment and vibrational frequencies of the title compound in the ground state has been calculated using the Hartree–Fock with 6‐31G(d, p) and density functional method (B3LYP) with 6‐31G(d, p) and 6‐311G(d, p) basis sets, and compared with the experimental data. The calculated results show that optimized geometries can well reproduce the crystal structural parameters, and the theoretical vibrational frequencies values show good agreement with experimental data. Density functional theory calculations of the title compound and thermodynamic properties were performed at B3LYP/6‐31G(d, p) level of theory. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2012
