Different orientations of C=O versus P=O in P(O)NHC(O) skeleton: the first study on an aliphatic diazaphosphorinane with a gauche orientation

Different orientations of P(O) versus C(O) in P(O)NHC(O) skeleton have been discussed in two new phosphorus(V)-nitrogen compounds with formula XP(O)Y and XP(O)Z₂ where X = NHC(O)C₆H₄(4-F) and Y = NHCH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂NH (1), Z = NHC₆H₄(4-CH₃) (2). Compound 1 is the first example of an aliphatic diazaphosphorinane with a gauche orientation which has been studied by X-ray crystallography; the P=O bond is in the equatorial position of the ring. Both compounds show ⁿ J(F,C) and ^m J(F,H) coupling constants (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4; m = 3 and 4) and ³ J(P,C) > ² J(P,C). Quantum chemical calculations were performed with HF and Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods using 6−31+G(d,p) basis set. A tentative assignment of the observed vibrational bands for these molecules is discussed. Compound 1 shows a deshielded C atom of the carbonyl moiety (in ¹³C NMR spectrum) relative to that of 2, which is supported by IR spectroscopy in which the considerably lower C=O frequency is observed for 1. Comparing the X-ray crystallography and IR spectra of 1 and 2 shows that the acyclic compound 2, containing P=O and C=O bonds in an anti position, are involving in a stronger N–H···O=P hydrogen bond in crystal network. This leads to a weaker P=O and N_C(O)NHP(O)–H bonds and stronger N···O interaction. The N_amide–H is involved in an intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bond.     

Two new XP(O)[NHC(CH3)3]2 phosphoramidates,with X = (CH3)2N and [(CH3)3CNH]2P(O)(O)

In N,N′‐di‐tert‐butyl‐N′′,N′′‐dimethylphosphoric triamide, C₁₀H₂₆N₃OP, (I), and N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐tetra‐tert‐butoxybis(phosphonic diamide), C₁₆H₄₀N₄O₃P₂, (II), the extended structures are mediated by P(O)...(H—N)₂ interactions. The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of six independent molecules which aggregate through P(O)...(H—N)₂ hydrogen bonds, giving R₂¹(6) loops and forming two independent chains parallel to the a axis. Of the 12 independent tert‐butyl groups, five are disordered over two different positions with occupancies ranging from to . In the structure of (II), the asymmetric unit contains one molecule. P(O)...(H—N)₂ hydrogen bonds give S(6) and R₂²(8) rings, and the molecules form extended chains parallel to the c axis. The structures of (I) and (II), along with similar structures having (N)P(O)(NH)₂ and (NH)₂P(O)(O)P(O)(NH)₂ skeletons extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database, are used to compare hydrogen‐bond patterns in these families of phosphoramidates. The strengths of P(O)[...H—N]_x (x = 1, 2 or 3) hydrogen bonds are also analysed, using these compounds and previously reported structures with (N)₂P(O)(NH) and P(O)(NH)₃ fragments.     

A new six-coordinate organotin(IV) complex of OP[NC5H10]3: A comparison with an analogous five-coordinate complex by means of X-ray crystallography,Hirshfeld surface analysis and DFT calculations

A new six-coordinate organotin(IV)-phosphoric triamide complex of OP[NC₅H₁₀]₃ = OP was synthesized ([Cl₂Sn(CH₃)₂(OP)₂], 1) and characterized by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods (FT-IR, UV–Vis, and ¹H/¹³C/³¹P-NMR). The crystal structures of 1 and the analogous previously reported five-coordinate complex [Cl₂Sn(CH₃)₂(OP)] (IZOVIE) were compared on a structural level and by computational means using Hirshfeld surface analysis, density functional theory calculations and the atom in molecule method. The investigation of intermolecular interactions in the crystal structures of the two complexes by the Hirshfeld surface method indicates that in the absence of normal hydrogen bonds, the chlorine-based interactions H?Cl/Cl?H (for 1 and IZOVIE) and Cl?Sn/Sn?Cl (for IZOVIE) play a determinant role in the molecular assemblies. However, the prominent contacts are of H?H type. From calculated electronic parameters such as bond order, Mulliken charge and electron delocalization energy, it was found that the Sn-OP contact has a lower strength in IZOVIE than in 1, suggesting more ionic character of the metal-oxygen contact in five-coordinate complex IZOVIE. Furthermore, we discuss the similarities and differences of the two complexes 1 and IZOVIE derived from the same ligand OP by density functional theory calculations to present an insight into the organotin(IV)-phosphoric triamide coordination chemistry affected by different geometries and coordination numbers.     

Syntheses and structures of four new mixed‐amide phosphoric triamides

Phosphoric triamides have extensive applications in biochemistry and are also used as O‐donor ligands. Four new mixed‐amide phosphoric triamide structures, namely rac‐N‐tert‐butyl‐N′,N′′‐dicyclohexyl‐N′′‐methylphosphoric triamide, C₁₇H₃₆N₃OP, (I), rac‐N,N′‐dicyclohexyl‐N′‐methyl‐N′′‐(p‐tolyl)phosphoric triamide, C₂₀H₃₄N₃OP, (II), N,N′,N′′‐tricyclohexyl‐N′′‐methylphosphoric triamide, C₁₉H₃₈N₃OP, (III), and 2‐[cyclohexyl(methyl)amino]‐5,5‐dimethyl‐1,3,2λ⁵‐diazaphosphinan‐2‐one, C₁₂H₂₆N₃OP, (IV), have been synthesized and studied by X‐ray diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Structures (I) and (II) are the first diffraction studies of acyclic racemic mixed‐amide phosphoric triamides. The P—N bonds resulting from the different substituent –N(CH₃)(C₆H₁₁), (C₆H₁₁)NH–, 4‐CH₃‐C₆H₄NH–, (tert‐C₄H₉)NH– and –NHCH₂C(CH₃)₂CH₂NH– groups are compared, along with the different molecular volumes and electron‐donor strengths. In all four structures, the molecules form extended chains through N—H…O hydrogen bonds.     

A novel amido–pyrophosphate MnII chelate complex with the synthetic ligand O{P(O)[NHC(CH3)3]2}2 (L): [Mn(L)2{OC(H)N(CH3)2}2]Cl2·2H2O

The title complex, trans‐bis(dimethylformamide‐κO)bis{N,N′‐N′′,N′′′‐tetra‐tert‐butyl[oxybis(phosphonic diamide‐κO)]}manganese(II) dichloride dihydrate, [Mn(C₁₆H₄₀N₄O₃P₂)₂(C₃H₇NO)₂]Cl₂·2H₂O, is the first example of a bis‐chelate amido–pyrophosphate (pyrophosphoramide) complex containing an O[P(O)(NH)₂]₂ fragment. Its asymmetric unit contains half of the complex dication, one chloride anion and one water molecule. The Mn^II atom, located on an inversion centre, is octahedrally coordinated, with a slight elongation towards the monodentate dimethylformamide ligand. Structural features of the title complex, such as the P=O bond lengths and the planarity of the chelate ring, are compared with those of previously reported complexes with six‐membered chelates involving the fragments C(O)NHP(O), (X)NP(O) [X = C(O), C(S), S(O)₂ and P(O)] and O[P(O)(N)₂]₂. This analysis shows that the six‐membered chelate rings are less puckered in pyrophosphoramide complexes containing a P(O)OP(O) skeleton, such as the title compound. The extended structure of the title complex involves a linear aggregate mediated by N—H...O and N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, in which the chloride anion is an acceptor in two additional O—H...Cl hydrogen bonds.     

Three new phosphoric triamides with a [C(O)NH]P(O)[N(C)(C)]2 skeleton: a database analysis of C—N—C and P—N—C bond angles

In N,N,N′,N′‐tetraethyl‐N′′‐(4‐fluorobenzoyl)phosphoric triamide, C₁₅H₂₅FN₃O₂P, (I), and N‐(2,6‐difluorobenzoyl)‐N′,N′′‐bis(4‐methylpiperidin‐1‐yl)phosphoric triamide, C₁₉H₂₈F₂N₃O₂P, (II), the C—N—C angle at each tertiary N atom is significantly smaller than the two P—N—C angles. For the other new structure, N,N′‐dicyclohexyl‐N′′‐(2‐fluorobenzoyl)‐N,N′‐dimethylphosphoric triamide, C₂₁H₃₃FN₃O₂P, (III), one C—N—C angle [117.08 (12)°] has a greater value than the related P—N—C angle [115.59 (9)°] at the same N atom. Furthermore, for most of the analogous structures with a [C(=O)NH]P(=O)[N(C)(C)]₂ skeleton deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database [CSD; Allen (2002). Acta Cryst. B 58 , 380–388], the C—N—C angle is significantly smaller than the two P—N—C angles; exceptions were found for four structures with the N‐methylcyclohexylamide substituent, similar to (III), one structure with the seven‐membered cyclic amide azepan‐1‐yl substituent and one structure with an N‐methylbenzylamide substituent. The asymmetric units of (I), (II) and (III) contain one molecule, and in the crystal structures, adjacent molecules are linked via pairs of N—H...O=P hydrogen bonds to form dimers.     

Different cyclic motifs in phosphoric triamides containing a C(O)NHP(O)(NH)2 skeleton and an R22(10) graph set in three new compounds: a database analysis of hydrogen‐bond strengths based on motifs

In the crystal networks of N,N′‐bis(2‐chlorobenzyl)‐N′′‐(2,6‐difluorobenzoyl)phosphoric triamide, C₂₁H₁₈Cl₂F₂N₃O₂P, (I), N‐(2,6‐difluorobenzoyl)‐N′,N′′‐bis(4‐methoxybenzyl)phosphoric triamide, C₂₃H₂₄F₂N₃O₄P, (II), and N‐(2‐chloro‐2,2‐difluoroacetyl)‐N′,N′′‐bis(4‐methylphenyl)phosphoric triamide, C₁₆H₁₇ClF₂N₃O₂P, (III), C=O...H—N_C(O)NHP(O) and P=O...H—N_amide hydrogen bonds are responsible for the aggregation of the molecules. This is the opposite result from that commonly observed for carbacylamidophosphates, which show a tendency for the phosphoryl group, rather than the carbonyl counterpart, to form hydrogen bonds with the NH group of the C(O)NHP(O) skeleton. This hydrogen‐bond pattern leads to cyclic R₂²(10) motifs in (I)–(III), different from those found for all previously reported compounds of the general formula RC(O)NHP(O)[NR¹R²]₂ with the syn orientation of P=O versus NH [R₂²(8)], and also from those commonly observed for RC(O)NHP(O)[NHR¹]₂ [a sequence of alternate R₂²(8) and R₂²(12) motifs]. In these cases, the R₂²(8) and R₂²(12) graph sets are formed through similar kinds of hydrogen bond, i.e. a pair of P=O...H—N_C(O)NHP(O) hydrogen bonds for the former and two C=O...H—N_amide hydrogen bonds for the latter. This article also reviews 102 similar structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database and with the International Union of Crystallography, with the aim of comparing hydrogen‐bond strengths in the above‐mentioned cyclic motifs. This analysis shows that the strongest N—H...O hydrogen bonds exist in the R₂²(8) rings of some molecules. The phosphoryl and carbonyl groups in each of compounds (I)–(III) are anti with respect to each other and the P atoms are in a tetrahedral coordination environment. In the crystal structures, adjacent molecules are linked via the above‐mentioned hydrogen bonds in a linear arrangement, parallel to [010] for (I) and (III) and parallel to [100] for (II). Formation of the N_C(O)NHP(O)—H...O=C instead of the N_C(O)NHP(O)—H...O=P hydrogen bond is reflected in the higher N_C(O)NHP(O)—H vibrational frequencies for these molecules compared with previously reported analogous compounds.
