Synthesis and Crystal Structure of N-(1'-H-Pyrrol-2'-ylcarbonyl)-5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline

The title compound,N-(1'-H-pyrrol-2'-ylcarbonyl)-5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline,was synthesized by the reaction of a-pyrrolyl carbonyl chloride and 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline in pyridine.Determined by X-ray structure analysis,it crystallizes in triclinic system,space group P(1)with the following crystallographic data:C20H21N5O3,Mr=379.42,a=7.8559(4),b=9.1681(6),c =14.6818(9)(A),α=73.254(10),β=88.938(15),γ=68.080(10)°,V=934.66(10)(A)3,Z=2,F(000)=400.Dc=1.348 g/cm3 and μ=0.094 mm-1.The final R=0.0680 and wR=0.1419 for 2142observed reflections with I＞2σ(I),and R=0.1084 and wR=0.1643 for all reflections.Two aromatic ring planes(pyrrole and phenanthroline rings)are connected by the amide plane.Two title complex molecules are connected through hydrogen bonds and weak π-π stacking interactions to generate a 3-D supramolecule.
