The stepwise symmetry-allowed cycloaddition reactions of [SNS]+ with the dinitriles NC–X–CN (X = CCl2, CO) were investigated. The reaction of [SNS]+ and dinitrile in 2:1 ratio yielded the dicycloaddition product quantitatively after 2 weeks (in situ 13C NMR). At a 1:1 ratio, mixtures of mono- and dicycloaddition products were obtained that could not be completely separated from one another. The energetics of the reaction were estimated in the gas phase, in solution (SO2 and CH2Cl2), and solid phases using DFT calculations (PBE0/6-311G*) and a "volume-based thermodynamics" approach for lattice enthalpies. Monocycloaddition products are stable in the gas phase and in solution with respect to disproportionation reactions, but in the solid state the disproportionation of 2 [NC–X–(CNSNS)][AsF6] into [X(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and NC–X–CN is strongly favored because of the higher lattice enthalpy of the 1:2 salt. In the gas phase, the second cycloaddition is endothermic because of the charge repulsion of the two positive charges, but in the solid state the reaction is strongly favored because of the lattice enthalpy gain on the formation of the 1:2 ([X(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2) from two 1:1 salts ([NC–X–(CNSNS)][AsF6] and [SNS][MF6]). The crystal structures of the dicycloaddition products [Cl2C(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and [OC(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and the monocycloaddition product [Cl2C(CNSNS)CN][AsF6] were obtained. In [Cl2C(CNSNS)CN][AsF6], the free nitrile groups interact with neighboring heterocycles further demonstrating that potential of free nitrile groups for introducing intermolecular interactions. [OC(CNSNS)2]2+ is a planar dication, which adopts the conformation with Sδ+···Oδ– contacts to optimize intramolecular electrostatic interactions.Key words: crystal structure, sulfur-nitrogen, 1,3,2,4-dithiadiazolyium, nitriles, cycloaddition, DFT calculations, thermodynamics, energetics.

The single crystal X-ray structure of new 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 1, is triclinic P I–, a = 7.7113(8), b = 12.3926(14), c = 12.9886(12) Å, α = 92.008(8), β = 102.251(8), γ = 99.655(9)°. The structural arrangement is compared to that of 5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 5, whose single crystal structure is found tetragonal I41/a, a = b = 11.684(1), c = 19.158(1) Å. The comparison is also extended to the structures previously determined for 1,1’-bis(2-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-propyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 2, 1,1’-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 3, and 1,1’-bis(benzyl)-5,5’-diisopropyl-3,3’-bipyrazole, 4. Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are used to investigate the molecular geometries and to determine the global reactivity parameters. The geometry of isolated molecules and the molecular arrangements in the solid state are analyzed according to the nature of the groups connected to the bipyrazole core.

Different Types

Supramolecular interactions in the solid state attract much attention. Different experimental and computational approaches are used, to predict and to design crystal structures, to predict the properties based on molecular and crystal structures, to range different types of intermolecular interactions. Analysis of the crystal structures at fixed (e.g. ambient) temperature and pressure conditions is most common for experiments, whereas most DFT calculations are limited to 0 K, to minimize computational costs. At the same time, evolution of a crystal structure as a function of experimental conditions can contribute significantly to understanding the structure-forming role and relative energies of different types of intermolecular interactions in the same crystal structure and of similar interactions in a series of different but structurally or chemically related compounds. In the present invited contribution I attempt to illustrate this using several selected examples from my own practice and from the papers published by other research groups. I consider, in particular, the results of variable-temperature and variable-pressure studies of continuous lattice strain and phase transitions in small-molecule organic compounds, the results of variable-temperature and variable-pressure crystallization, the results of comparing the dissolution profiles of mono- and multi-component small-molecule organic crystals. I shall also discuss how variable-temperature and variable-pressure experimental diffraction data can assist in optimizing the calculations aimed at comparing the relative stability of polymorphs and predicting polymorph transitions. The study was supported by Russian Ministry of Science and Education and Russian Academy of Sciences.

Abstract The crystal structure of new conformation of the CyMe4-BTBP ligand (ttc) has been presented. The ttt conformer of this compound in a form of THF solvate has been also crystallized. The geometries of six possible conformations (ttt, ttc, tct, tcc, ctc and ccc) of the CyMe4-BTBP ligand have been modeled in the gas phase and in solutions (MeOH and H2O) by DFT calculations using B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method. According to the calculations, in the three different media the conformers with trans orientation of the N atoms in the bipyridyl moiety are the most stable.

AbstractThe bulky phenols 2,6-Ad2C6H3OH (Ad=adamantyl), A, (2,6-Ph2CH)2-4-Me-C6H2OH, B, and (2,6-Tol2CH)2-4-iPr-C6H2OH, C, react with one equivalent of Et3M (M=Al, Ga), Bu2Mg and Et2Zn to afford well-defined mono-phenolate complexes (ArOMRn)m. The aluminum and gallium phenolates derived from the very bulky phenol A are likely monomeric in the solid state. The other compounds are dimeric with bridging phenolates. Crystal structures of compounds with phenols B and C display the dimeric M2O2 cores of the phenolates and illustrate some deviations for the magnesium and zinc compounds. The former possesses stabilizing Mg···C contacts with one of the flanking arene groups of the phenolate substituent, and the latter may be viewed as an intermediate between a symmetric dimer and two monomers. All compounds were characterized by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, and their solution spectra are in agreement with the crystal structure data.

Flexible Molecules

A new approach to the crystal structure prediction of flexible molecules is presented. It is applied to piracetam, whose conformational polymorphs exhibit a variety of hydrogen-bond motifs but lack the intramolecular hydrogen bond found in the gas-phase ab initio optimized conformer. Stable crystal packing can result when favourable intermolecular interactions are made possible when the molecule distorts from the gas-phase conformation. If the resulting intermolecular lattice energy is sufficiently favourable to compensate for the intramolecular energy penalty associated with the suboptimal gas-phase conformation, then the crystal structure may be experimentally feasible. The new approach involves searching for low-energy crystal structures using a large number of rigid conformers, firstly to systematically explore which regions of conformational space could give rise to low-energy hydrogen-bonded crystal structures, and then to refine the search using crystallographic insight to optimize particular intermolecular interactions. The timely discovery of a new polymorph (form IV) by an independent experimental team allowed this approach to be validated by way of a `blind test' of crystal structure prediction. Form IV was successfully identified as the most favourable computed crystal structure with a conformation very distinct from that in the previously known polymorphs.

The title complex is asymmetric in the crystal due to the spatial orientation of the NCS function. The space group has been determined to be P21 with a = 9.496(3), b = 8.736(3), c = 9.676(3) Å, β = 117.859(5)°, and Z = 2. The solid state 13C NMR spectrum is consistent with the lack of symmetry in the crystal and there is little evidence for large amplitude motion in the macrocycle as determined from the dipolar dephased spectrum.Key words: macrocyclic crown ether, lithium complex.

One Pot

We report here the preparation (in "one-pot") of a tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrin in about 80% yield by using an optimized modification of Lindsey's variant of the Adler–Longo approach. The Zn ( II )-, Cu ( II )- and Ni ( II )-complexes of the symmetrical porphyrin were prepared and characterized spectroscopically. Crystal structures of the fluorescent Zn ( II )- and of the non-fluorescent Ni ( II )-tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrinates showed the highly substituted porphyrin ligands to be nearly perfectly planar. The Zn ( II )-complex of this porphyrin has been used as a thermal precursor of a reactive diene, and — formally — of lateral and diagonal bis-dienes, of a tris-diene and of a tetra-diene, which all underwent [4 + 2]-cycloaddition reactions in situ with a range of dienophiles. Thus, the tetra-β″-sulfoleno-meso-aryl-porphyrin and its metal complexes represent reactive building blocks, "programmed" for the syntheses of symmetrical and highly functionalized porphyrins.

AbstractThe crystal structure and an improved synthesis of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane are reported. The solid state structure is compared with the reported structure determined in the gas phase by gas electron diffraction (GED). 1,3,5-Trisilacyclohexane adopts a chair conformation in the solid state. The Si–C bond lengths as well as all angles of 1,3,5-trisilacyclohexane in the solid state have similar dimensions compared to the structure in the gaseous phase.
