Crystal Structure of [4-(Methylsulfanyl)Phenyl]Acetic Acid

Abstract  

The title compound, C₉H₁₀O₂S, (I), crystallizes in the triclinic space group, P − 1, with unit cell parameters a = 6.2249(3), b = 7.3733(5), c = 19.5708(12), Å, α = 86.746(5)°, β = 88.682(5)°, γ = 86.988(5)°, Z = 4. The molecule consists of a methyl sulfanyl group bonded to benzyl acetic acid at the 4 position crystallizing with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The carboxylic acid group from the acetic acid moiety in these two molecules forms a classic O–H···O hydrogen bonded dimer with O···O distances of 2.673(2) and 2.646(2) Å, in a R₂² (8) graph-set motif which link the molecules into pairs around inversion centers in the unit cell. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the R₂² (8) graph-set motif with the mean planes of the two nearby benzyl groups within the same dimer in the unit cell are 64.1(6)° and 71.3(4)°, respectively. Within the same dimer the dihedral angle between the two benzyl groups is 45.2(1)°. The structure is supported by a weak intermolecular C–H···Cg π-ring interaction and gives support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Comparison to a MOPAC AM1 computational calculation provides support to these observations.

In (I) the molecule consists of a 5-pyridine-4-yl group bonded to the carbon atom at the 5 position of (1, 3, 4) oxadiazole-2 thione hydrochloride monohydrate. The angle between the mean planes of the oxadiazole and pyridine rings is 9.6(6)°. Crystal packing in (I) is stabilized by strong N–H···O hydrogen bonds in concert with a solvent water molecule and weak O–H···Cl, O–H···S, N–H···Cl intermolecular interactions. The crystal structure of compound (II) consists of 4 [5-ethylsulfanyl)-(1, 3, 4) thiadiazole-2-yl]-pyridinium perchlorate, (C₉H₁₀N₃S₂)⁺(ClO₄)⁻, cation–anion pairs, containing strong intermolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds and weak C–H···O and N–H···O intermolecular interactions operating between the ionic species that form a cooperative hydrogen-bonded, infinite chain O–H···O–H···O–H network which generates a sheet motif structure in the unit cell. It is also supported by weak intermolecular Cg···Cg π–π and Cl–O···Cg π-ring interactions which gives additional support to molecular packing stability in the unit cell. Geometry optimized MOPAC AM1 computational calculations on each compound provides support to the structural features in their respective crystal structures.

Two Crystal Forms of 4-{(2<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis>)-2-[1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)ethylidene] hydrazinyl}-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline

Abstract  

The Schiff base, 4-{(2E)-2-[1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethylidene] hydrazinyl}-8-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline, crystallizes in two polymorphic forms depending on the solvent. One of these forms is monoclinic (1M), space group P2₁/c with a = 10.2906(10) ?, b = 8.9211(7) ?, c = 18.4838(15), β = 97.271(8)°, and the other is orthorhombic (1O), space group Pbca, unit-cell parameters: a = 13.6485(12) ?, b = 9.0588(9) ?, c = 27.400(2) ?. The molecules in either crystalline form have similar bond lengths and angles, but one is nearly planar while the other has a significant twist. In monoclinic form the dihedral angle between terminal ring planes is 17.26(8)° while in the orthorhombic one it is 26.11(5)°, and in this latter case the central chain is almost coplanar with the quinoline ring system while in the former these two planes are significantly twisted. The crystal structures of both forms are determined by the interplay of van der Waals forces and weak directional interactions C–H···F, π···π stacking, and—in the case of 1M—short intermolecular C–F···N contact. The crystals of 1M decomposes slowly into the powder while the other form is stable. The powder diffraction pattern of the product of decomposition of 1M is similar to that calculated for 1O. This suggests that the decomposition is a consequence of the phase transition of the less stable monoclinic into more stable orthorhombic form.

The coordination geometry around the Fe(III) ion is a distorted trigonal bipyramid with a O₂N₁Cl₂ donor set. In the crystal structure, N–H···Cl, C–H···O and C–H···Cl hydrogen bonds and π···π stacking interactions involving aromatic and unclosed π-systems link the molecules to form supramolecular double layers.     

Synthesis and X-Ray Crystallographic Analysis of 2-(2, 4-Dimethyl Pyrrolyl) Benzothiazole

Abstract  

Synthesis of 2- (2, 4-dimethyl pyrrolyl) benzothiazole by chemical means and molecular structure by X-ray crystallographic techniques is reported. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system with space group Pbca and unit cell parameters: a = 12.161(9), b = 0.787(1), c = 16.792(2) Ǻ, V = 2202.8(4) Ǻ³ and Z = 8. The final reliability index is 0.073 for 7,959 observed reflections. The benzothiazole and pyrrole rings exist in planar conformations. The dihedral angle between the least-squares planes of both these moieties is 13.31°. There exists an isolated C4–H4···N1 intermolecular interaction, besides two C–H···S and C–H···N intermolecular interactions. The presence of C–H···S and C–H···N intramolecular interactions make the present molecule look like a virtual two-six-membered and three-five-membered ring structure.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Two Ferrocenyl Dicarboximides

Abstract  

Reactions of 1,1′-ferrocenedicarboxylic chloride with 2-aminopyrimidine and 2-aminopyrazine produce organometallic dicarboximides I and II, respectively. They crystallize in space groups F dd2 and P2₁/c, respectively. The molecules of I lying on twofold rotation axes are linked into a B-faced sheet by a C–H···O=C hydrogen bond [H····O = 2.46, C···O = 3.163(7) ? and C–H···O = 132°]. The sheets are linked into a layered structure by two types of weak C–H···O=C hydrogen bonds [H···O = 2.71, C···O = 3.340(8) ? and C–H···O = 126°; H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.303(10) ? and C–H···O = 124°]. The molecules of II are linked into a centrosymmetric R ₂²(12) dimer by a C–H···O hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.40, C···O = 3.321(10) ? and C–H···O = 172°]. The dimers are further packed along the a axis by a C–H···O hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.416(9) ? and C–H···O = 135°] to give an [100] double-chain. The double-chain is packed in the [010] direction by a C–H···O=C hydrogen bond [H···O = 2.69, C···O = 3.532(9) ? and C–H···O = 150°]. Further the intermolecular C–H···N hydrogen bond involving the cyclopentadienyl group as a hydrogen-bond donor and pyrazine N atom as an acceptor [H···O = 2.71, C···N = 3.536(10) ? and C–H···N = 148°] leads to a three-dimensional framework structure.     

The Crystal Structure of Fluphenazinium Dipicrate Dimethylsulphoxide Solvate

Abstract  

The title compound, C₂₂H₂₈F₃N₃OS²⁺ × 2(C₆H₂N₃O₇ ⁻) × (CH₃)₂SO—the picrate salt of the potent antipsychotic drug, fluphenazine—crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group with unit cell parameters a = 10.6333(12) ?, b = 11.9696(12) ?, c = 17.7036(15) ?, α = 103.265(9)°, β = 98.414(9)°, γ = 102.702(10)°. The ionic fragments: the fluphenazinium dictation, and two picrate anions, are joined by means of strong N–H···O and weak C–H···O hydrogen bonds into the chains of alternating cations and anions, expanding along [010] direction. Within the chain, the picrates interact by means of short π···π interactions: the mean distance between the planes is 3.366 ?; additional interaction of the same type between one of the picrates and the phenyl ring of the phenothiazine ring system additionally strengthen the pattern. The phenothiazine ring exists in a typical, “butterfly-like” conformation, with two terminal rings planar and the central ring in a slightly flattened boat form. This conformation results in the dihedral angle between the terminal rings of 41.76(5)°. The aliphatic chain which substitutes phenothiazine at N-position is not in an extended conformation, the torsion angles along this chain are 75.95(14)° and −163.96(10)°. The structure contains also the solvent—dimethylsulphoxide molecules, which are connected with the cation–anion structure by means of strong O–H···O hydrogen bonds.

The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the planar naphthyl and morpholine (chair) rings with the planar oxadiazol ring is 50.1(8) and 76.8(6)°, respectively. The planar naphthyl ring is twisted 52.2(5)° with the mean plane of the morpholine ring. A group of four intermolecular close contacts are observed between a bromine atom and hydrogen atoms from the closely packed naphthyl, morpholine and oxy–methyl groups in the unit cell. These molecular interactions in concert with an additional series of π–π stacking interactions that occur between the center of gravity of the two 6-membered rings of the naphthalene group influence the twist angles of each of these three groups. A MOPAC AM1 calculation of the conformation energy of the crystal structure [226.0128(9) kcal] compared to that of the minimum energy structure after geometry optimization [29.9744(1) kcal] reveals a significantly reduced value. The twist angles of the three groups above also change after the AM1 calculation giving support to the influence of both intermolecular C–H···Br short-range interactions and Cg π–π stacking interactions on these angles which therefore play a role in stabilizing crystal packing.
