Tetraaza-macrocyclic pyridinophane L-Ts, decorated with a p-toluenesulfonyl (tosyl; Ts) group, appear to be a useful tool to provide evidence on how the interplay of various supramolecular forces can help stabilise exotic anionic species such as tribromide (Br3−) anions. Indeed, crystals of (H2L-Ts)(Br3)1.5(NO3)0.5 unexpectedly grew from an acidic (HNO3) aqueous solution of L-Ts in the presence of Br− anions. The crystal structure of this compound was determined by single crystal XRD analysis. Hydrogen bonds, salt-bridges, anion-π, π-π stacking, and van der Waals interactions contribute to stabilising the crystal lattice. The observation of two independent Br3− anions stuck over the π-electron densities of pyridine and tosyl ligand groups, one of them being sandwiched between two pyridine rings, corroborates the significance of anion-π interactions for N-containing heterocycles. We show herein the possibility of detecting anion-π contacts from fingerprint plots generated by Hirshfeld surface analysis, demonstrating the effective usage of this structural investigation technique to further dissect individual contributions of stabilising supramolecular forces.

A number of mono- and dioligosilanylated silocanes were prepared. Compounds included silocanes with 1-methyl-1-tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl, 1,1-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl], and 1,1-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)germyl] substitution pattern as well as two examples where the silocane silicon atom is part of a cyclosilane or oxacyclosilane ring. The mono-tris(trimethylsilyl)silylated compound could be converted to the respective silocanylbis(trimethylsilyl)silanides by reaction with KOtBu and in similar reactions the cyclosilanes were transformed to oligosilane-1,3-diides. However, the reaction of the 1,1-bis[tris(trimethylsilyl)silylated] silocane with two equivalents of KOtBu leads to the replacement of one tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl unit with a tert-butoxy substituent followed by silanide formation via KOtBu attack at one of the SiMe3 units of remaining tris(trimethylsilyl)silyl group. For none of the silylated silocanes, signs of hypercoordinative interaction between the nitrogen and silicon silocane atoms were detected either in the solid state. by single crystal XRD analysis, nor in solution by 29Si-NMR spectroscopy. This was further confirmed by cyclic voltammetry and a DFT study, which demonstrated that the N-Si distance in silocanes is not only dependent on the energy of a potential N-Si interaction, but also on steric factors and through-space interactions of the neighboring groups at Si and N, imposing the orientation of the pz(N) orbital relative to the N-Si-X axis.

The title compound, C18H16N2O2, consists of perimidine and methoxyphenol units, where the tricyclic perimidine unit contains a naphthalene ring system and a non-planar C4N2 ring adopting an envelope conformation with the NCN group hinged by 47.44 (7)° with respect to the best plane of the other five atoms. In the crystal, O—HPhnl...NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn...OPhnl (Phnl = phenol and Prmdn = perimidine) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into infinite chains along the b-axis direction. Weak C—H...π interactions may further stabilize the crystal structure. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (49.0%), H...C/C...H (35.8%) and H...O/O...H (12.0%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, the O—HPhnl...NPrmdn and N—HPrmdn...OPhnl hydrogen-bond energies are 58.4 and 38.0 kJ mol−1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.

The reaction of 1,5-dibromopentane with urotropine results in crystals of the title molecular salt, 5-bromourotropinium bromide [systematic name: 1-(5-bromopentyl)-3,5,7-triaza-1-azoniatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]decane bromide], C11H22BrN4 +·Br− (1), crystallizing in space group P21/n. The packing in compound 1 is directed mainly by H...H van der Waals interactions and C—H...Br hydrogen bonds, as revealed by Hirshfeld surface analysis. Comparison with literature examples of alkylurotropinium halides shows that the interactions in 1 are consistent with those in other bromides and simple chloride and iodide species.

Hydrogen Bond Energies

In the title molecule, C12H13N3O2S, the benzothiazine moiety is slightly non-planar, with the imidazolidine portion twisted only a few degrees out of the mean plane of the former. In the crystal, a layer structure parallel to the bc plane is formed by a combination of O—HHydethy...NThz hydrogen bonds and weak C—HImdz...OImdz and C—HBnz...OImdz (Hydethy = hydroxyethyl, Thz = thiazole, Imdz = imidazolidine and Bnz = benzene) interactions, together with C—HImdz...π(ring) and head-to-tail slipped π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distances = 3.6507 (7) and 3.6866 (7) Å] interactions between thiazole rings. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (47.0%), H...O/O...H (16.9%), H...C/C...H (8.0%) and H...S/S...H (7.6%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, C—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen-bond energies are 68.5 (for O—HHydethy...NThz), 60.1 (for C—HBnz...OImdz) and 41.8 kJ mol−1 (for C—HImdz...OImdz). Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state.

Ring Motif

The molecular conformation of the title compound, C17H14ClN3O4, is stabilized by an intramolecular C—H...O contact, forming an S(6) ring motif. In the crystal, the molecules are connected by N—H...O hydrogen-bond pairs along the b-axis direction as dimers with R 2 2(8) and R 2 2(14) ring motifs and as ribbons formed by intermolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonds. There are weak van der Waals interactions between the ribbons. The most important contributions to the surface contacts are from H...H (34.9%), O...H/H...O (19.2%), C...H/H...C (11.9%), Cl...H/H...Cl (10.7%) and N...H/H...N (10.4%) interactions, as concluded from a Hirshfeld surface analysis.

In the molecule of the title compound, C17H14BrFO3, the aromatic rings are tilted with respect to the enone bridge by 13.63 (14) and 4.27 (15)°, and form a dihedral angle 17.91 (17)°. In the crystal, centrosymmetrically related molecules are linked by pairs of C—H...O hydrogen bonds into dimeric units, forming rings of R 2 2(14) graph-set motif. The dimers are further connected by weak C—H...O hydrogen interactions, forming layers parallel to (10\overline{1}). Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that van der Waals interactions constitute the major contribution to the intermolecular interactions, with H...H contacts accounting for 29.7% of the surface.

Dimensional Structure

In the title molecule, C24H21N5O·H2O, the dihydrobenzodiazole moiety is not quite planar, while the whole molecule adopts a U-shaped conformation in which there is a close approach of the two benzyl groups. In the crystal, chains of alternating molecules and lattice water extending along [201] are formed by O—HUncoordW...ODhyr and O—HUncoordW...NTrz (UncoordW = uncoordinated water, Dhyr = dihydro and Trz = triazole) hydrogen bonds. The chains are connected into layers parallel to (010) by C—HTrz...OUncoordW hydrogen bonds with the dihydrobenzodiazole units in adjacent layers intercalating to form head-to-tail π-stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.5694 (11) Å] interactions between them, which generates the overall three-dimensional structure. Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (52.1%), H...C/C...H (23.8%) and O...H/H...O (11.2%) interactions. Hydrogen-bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/ 6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.
