Syntheses, Crystal Structures and Fluorescent Properties of Two New Imidazolidino Schiff Base Compounds

Two new imidazolidino Schiff base compounds, （E）-N-（（quinoxalin-2-yl）methylene）- 2-（2-（quinoxalin-3-yl）imidazolidin-1-yl）ethanamine 1 and 2-（1-（2-（2-（quinoxalin-3-yl）imidazolidin- 1-yl）ethyl）imidazolidin-2-yl）quinoxaline 2, have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ^1H NMR, IR, MS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic data for 1： C22H21N7, Mr = 383.46, monoclinic, space group P21, a = 7.0036（14）, b = 6.9151（14）, c = 19.701（4）A, β = 96.57（3）°, Z = 2, V = 947.9（3）A^3, Dc = 1.344 g/cm^3, F（000） = 404, μ = 0.085 mm^-1, Flack parameter = 0（2）, R = 0.0464 and wR = 0.1055; and those for 2： C24H26N8, Mr = 426.53, triclinic, space group PI, a = 9.6680（19）, b = 10.334（2）, c = 11.389（2）A, α= 104.12（3）, β = 102.95（3）, γ= 100.48（3）°, Z= 2, V = 1041.2（4）A3, Dc= 1.361 g/cm^3, F（000） = 452, μ = 0.086 mm^-1, R = 0.0373 and wR = 0.1155. For the two compounds, the five-membered imidazolidine rings all adopt envelope conformation. Moreover, the title compounds show one-dimensional layered and three-dimensional supramolecular chainlike structures, respectively. Fluorescent properties of the two compounds have been investigated in the solid state at room temperature. Compound 1 exhibits strong fluorescence and thus may serve as excellent candidates of green fluorescent materials.
