N,N'-Bis(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)oxalamide benzene monosolvate: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study.

The asymmetric unit of the title 1:1 solvate, C14H14N4O2·C6H6 [systematic name of the oxalamide mol-ecule: N,N'-bis-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)ethanedi-amide], comprises a half mol-ecule of each constituent as each is disposed about a centre of inversion. In the oxalamide mol-ecule, the central C2N2O2 atoms are planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0006 Å). An intra-molecular amide-N-H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bond is evident, which gives rise to an S(5) loop. Overall, the mol-ecule adopts an anti-periplanar disposition of the pyridyl rings, and an orthogonal relationship is evident between the central plane and each terminal pyridyl ring [dihedral angle = 86.89 (3)°]. In the crystal, supra-molecular layers parallel to (10) are generated owing the formation of amide-N-H⋯N(pyrid-yl) hydrogen bonds. The layers stack encompassing benzene mol-ecules which provide the links between layers via methyl-ene-C-H⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C-H⋯π(pyrid-yl) inter-actions. The specified contacts are indicated in an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces. The energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonding (approximately 40 kJ mol-1; electrostatic forces) is just over double that by the C-H⋯π contacts (dispersion forces).

Chemical context

With a combination of centrally located amide and terminal pyridyl functional groups, the isomeric mol­ecules related to the title compound of the general formula (n class="Chemical">n-C5H4N)CH2N(H)C(=O)C(=O)N(H)CH2(C5H4N-n), for n = 2, 3 and 4, abbreviated as H2, have long attracted the attention of structural chemists and their structural chemistry has been reviewed very recently (Tiekink, 2017 ▸). Taking the 3 LH2 species as an exemplar, its 1:1 co-crystal with N,N′-di­carb­oxy­methyl­urea, HO2CCH2N(H)C(=O)N(H)CH2CO2H, features two distinct supra­molecular tapes sustained by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The first of these arises from amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonding between the amide groups, on both sides of the 3 LH2 mol­ecule, through ten-membered amide synthons {⋯HNC2O}2 (Nguyen et al., 2001 ▸). Parallel tapes comprising N,N′-di­carb­oxy­methyl­urea mol­ecules, sustained by six-membered {⋯O⋯HNCNH} synthons, are also formed. The links between the tapes leading to a two-dimensional array are of the type hy­droxy-O—H⋯N(pyrid­yl). Mol­ecules of H2 also featured prominently in early, systematic studies of halogen bonding. An illustrative example is found in the 1:1 co-crystal formed between 3 LH2 and 1,4-di-iodo­buta-1,3-diyne, I—C≡C—C≡C—C—I (Goroff et al., 2005 ▸). A two-dimensional array is also found in this co-crystal whereby supra­molecular tapes between 3 LH2 mol­ecules are formed as for the previous example and these are connected by N⋯I halogen bonding. In the crystals of both polymorphs of pure 3 LH2 (Jotani et al., 2016 ▸), similar supra­molecular tapes mediated by amide hydrogen bonding are formed. However, that this mode of supra­molecular association is not all pervasive in the H2 systems is seen the structures of the two polymorphs of pure 4 LH2 (Lee & Wang, 2007 ▸; Lee, 2010 ▸). In one of the polymorphs of this isomer, supra­molecular dimers are formed via amide-N—H⋯O(amide) hydrogen bonding and these are linked into a two-dimensional array via amide-N–H⋯N(pyrid­yl) hydrogen bonds (Lee & Wang, 2007 ▸). In the second polymorph, all potential amide-N—H and pyridyl-N donors and acceptors associate via amide-N–H⋯N(pyrid­yl) hydrogen bonds to generate a two-dimensional array. In this context, and in the context of recent work on 4 LH2 in co-crystals (Syed et al., 2016 ▸) and adducts of zinc 1,1-di­thiol­ates (Arman et al., 2018 ▸; Tan, Chun et al., 2019 ▸), it was thought of inter­est to conduct a polymorph screen for 4 LH2. From a series of crystallizations of 4 LH2 taken in di­methyl­formamide and layered with benzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, toluene, pyridine and cyclo­hexane in separate experiments, only crystals of the title benzene solvate, (I), were isolated. Herein, the crystal and mol­ecular structures of (I) are described along with a further evaluation of the supra­molecular association via an analysis of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces as well as a computational chemistry study.

Structural commentary

The title co-crystal (I) is the result of crystallization of 4 LH2, taken in di­methyl­formaide, with n class="Chemical">benzene. The crystallographic asymmetric unit comprises half a mol­ecule each of 4 LH2 and benzene, Fig. 1 ▸, each being disposed about a crystallographic centre of inversion. The central C2N2O2 plane is strictly planar with the r.m.s. deviation of the fitted atoms being 0.0006 Å; the C7 atoms lie 0.0020 (16) Å to either side of the plane. An intra­molecular amide-N—H⋯O(amide)i hydrogen bond, occurring between the symmetry related amide groups, gives rise to an S(5) loop, Table 1 ▸; symmetry operation (i) 1 − x, 1 − y, − z. The crystallographic symmetry also implies an anti­periplanar disposition of the pyridyl rings. The dihedral angle between the central plane and terminal pyridyl ring is 86.89 (3)°, indicating an orthogonal relationship.

Supra­molecular features

The geometric parameters characterizing the inter­atomic contacts identified in the crystal of (I) are given in Table 1 ▸. The key feature of the mol­ecular packing is the formation of amide-N—H⋯n class="Chemical">N(pyrid­yl) hydrogen bonding. This generates a two-dimensional, rectangular grid lying parallel to (10), Fig. 2 ▸(a), with dimensions defined by O10⋯O10 and N8⋯N8 separations of 9.6770 (11) and 12.3255 (11) Å, respectively. The other notable contacts in the crystal are of the type C—H⋯π, Table 1 ▸. Thus, methyl­ene-C7—H⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C11—H⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions are formed. From sym­metry, each benzene mol­ecule forms four, i.e. two (as acceptor) and two (as donor), such inter­actions, Fig. 2 ▸(b). The side-on view of Fig. 2 ▸(b) shown in Fig. 2 ▸(c) indicates the amide-N—H and pyridyl-N project in all directions around the five-mol­ecule aggregate. Indeed, it is the C—H⋯π inter­actions that connect the layers into a three-dimensional architecture, Fig. 2 ▸(d).

Upon removing the benzene mol­ecules within a 2 × 2 × 2 set of unit cells, the packing was subjected to a calculation of solvent-accessible void space in n class="Chemical">Mercury (Macrae et al., 2006 ▸) with a probing radius of 1.2 Å. The results showed that the packing devoid of benzene comprises approximately 25.8% of the volume which is equivalent to 227.3 Å3 of void space, as illustrated in Fig. 3 ▸.

Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study

To gain a better understanding of the nature of the inter­molecular inter­actions identified in (I), the overall structure of (I) as well as the individual 4 LH2 and n class="Chemical">benzene mol­ecules were subjected to a Hirshfeld surface analysis using Crystal Explorer 17 (Turner et al., 2017 ▸) based on the procedures as described in the literature (Tan, Jotani et al., 2019 ▸).

The Hirshfeld surface mapped over d norm map of 4 LH2 displays several red spots, that range from intense to weak, which reflect the inter­actions identified in the crystal (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009 ▸). The intense red spots arise from n class="Chemical">amide-N—H⋯N(pyrid­yl) hydrogen bonds while the diminutive spots originate from methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) inter­actions, Fig. 4 ▸(a), with both indicative of contact distances shorter than the respective sum of the van der Waals radii. Reflecting the relatively long separation, the benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­action is reflected as only a white spot as the contact distance is only just within the sum of van der Waals radii, as shown in Fig. 4 ▸(b).

Figure 4

The d norm maps within the range of −0.0567 to 0.9466 arbitrary units for the 4 LH2 (left) and benzene (right) mol­ecules: (a) highlighting the amide-N—H⋯N(pyrid­yl) (intense red) and methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) (faint red) contacts with the intensity relative to the contact distance and (b) highlighting the connections between mol­ecules mediated by benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions.

The C—H⋯π inter­actions were subjected to electrostatic potential mapping for verification purposes. The result shows that the methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) contact is indeed electrostatic in nature as revealed by the distinct blue (i.e. electropositive) and red (i.e. electronegative) colour scheme on the surface of the contact points, Fig. 5 ▸(a). In contrast, the n class="Chemical">benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) contact displays pale colouration around the contact zone suggesting that the inter­action could be attributed to weak dispersion forces, Fig. 5 ▸(b).

Figure 5

The calculated electrostatic potential mapped onto the Hirshfeld surfaces with the isosurface value range of −0.0257 to 0.0389 atomic unit for the 4LH2 (left) and benzene (right) mol­ecules showing the charge complementarity for the (a) methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) and (b) benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions.

The two-dimensional fingerprint plots were generated for overall (I) as well as its individual mol­ecules to qu­antify the close contacts identified through the Hirshfeld surface analysis, see Fig. 6 ▸(a)–(e). As shown in the overall fingerprint plot in Fig. 6 ▸(a), (I) exhibits a bug-like profile with distinctive symmetrical spikes which are similar to those exhibited by the individual 4 LH2 mol­ecule, therefore indicating that the inter­molecular inter­actions in (I) are mainly sustained by 4 n class="Chemical">LH2 mol­ecules. Decomposition of the overall fingerprint plots of (I) shows that the contacts are mainly dominated by H⋯H (45.1%; d i + d e ∼2.42 Å), H⋯C/C⋯H (26.6%; d i + d e ∼2.66 Å), H⋯O/O⋯H (14.4%; d i + d e ∼2.58 Å), H⋯N/N⋯H (13.1%; d i + d e ∼1.88 Å) and other contacts (0.8%). Except for the H⋯H contacts, to differing extents, the remaining major contacts are shorter than the corresponding sum of van der Waals radii for H⋯C (∼2.90 Å), H⋯O (∼2.72 Å) and H⋯N (∼2.75 Å).

The individual 4 LH2 mol­ecule exhibits at similar distribution of the major contacts compared to overall (I). However, some distinctions are observed on the external and inter­nal contacts upon further delineation of the corresponding decomposed fingerprint plots. While the distribution is rather symmetric in overall (I), for 4 n class="Chemical">LH2 these are either inclined towards the external or inter­nal contacts presumably due to inter­action with the solvent benzene mol­ecule. For instance, the H⋯C/C⋯H contact in the individual 4 LH2 mol­ecule comprises 9.9% (inter­nal)-H⋯C-(external) and 14.6% (inter­nal)-C⋯H-(external) contacts as compared to 12.0 and 14.6% for the equivalent contacts in overall (I), Fig. 6 ▸(c). Similar observations pertain for the H⋯O/ O⋯H and H⋯N/ N⋯H inter­actions, Fig. 6 ▸(d)–(e).

As for the benzene mol­ecule, an irregular fingerprint profile is noted with the distribution dominated by H⋯H (46.4%) and H⋯C/ C⋯H (41.9%) surface contacts. The latter are almost equally distributed between the inter­nal and external contacts, i.e. 20.5% for (inter­nal)-H⋯C-(external) and 21.4% for (inter­nal)-C⋯H-(external) contacts. In addition, the solvent mol­ecules are sustained in the mol­ecular architecture through minor contributions from H⋯O (5.6%) and H⋯n class="Chemical">N (5.9%) contacts, respectively. These inter­actions are at distances of ∼2.52 Å (H⋯H), ∼2.92 Å (H⋯C/C⋯H), ∼2.98 Å (H⋯O) and ∼2.79 Å (H⋯N), which are greater than the corresponding sum of van der Waals radii, indicating the identified C—H⋯π(benzene and pyrid­yl) inter­actions can largely be considered as localized inter­actions.

Computational chemistry study

The calculation of inter­action energy was performed using Crystal Explorer 17 based on the procedures as described previously (Tan, Jotani et al., 2019 ▸). As expected, the greatest inter­action energy in the crystal of (I) is found for the amide-N—H⋯n class="Chemical">N(pyrid­yl) contact having a total energy (E int) of −38.1 kJ mol−1, Table 2 ▸. This is followed by methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) and benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) contacts with a very similar E int values of −18.9 and −16.9 kJ mol−1, respectively, despite the d norm contact distance being significantly greater for the latter. The calculation results reveal that the repulsion energy is greater in methyl­ene-C7—H7B⋯π(benzene) compared with the benzene-C11—H11⋯π(pyrid­yl) contact, which contributes to the slight variation in their E int values. In short, the N—H⋯N inter­action is stabilized largely by electrostatic forces while the C—H⋯π inter­actions are stabilized largely by dispersion forces. Overall, the crystal of (I) is dominated by electrostatic forces that form a cross-shaped energy framework that encompasses the void space in the unit cell. This framework is further stabilized by dispersion forces that co-exist within the void owing to the weaker inter­actions between the solvent mol­ecules with the host, Fig. 7 ▸(a)–(c).

The cylindrical radii are proportional to the relative strength of the corresponding energies and they were adjusted to the same scale factor of 120 with a cut-off value of 5 kJ mol−1 within 2 × 2 × 2 unit cells.

Calculations were also performed to compare the mol­ecular packing similarity of (I) with the two polymorphic forms of 4 LH2 available in the literature (Lee & Wang, 2007 ▸; Lee, 2010 ▸). Mol­ecular clusters of (I), Form I and Form II containing 20 4 n class="Chemical">LH2 mol­ecules each were subjected to mol­ecular packing analysis using Mercury (Macrae et al., 2006 ▸), with the geometric tolerances being set to 20% (i.e. only molecules within the 20% tolerance for both distances and angles were included in the calculation and molecules with a variation >20% were discarded); molecular inversions were enabled during calculation. The result shows that out of the 20 mol­ecules in the cluster, only one 4 LH2 mol­ecule in each polymorph resembled the reference packing in (I) with an r.m.s. deviation of 0.587 and 0.403 Å, respectively, Fig. 8 ▸(a) and (b). The result clearly demonstrates the influence of solvent mol­ecule upon the mol­ecular packing in (I).

Finally, and referring to Fig. 9 ▸, (I) and the two polymorphic forms of 4 LH2 exhibit a close similarity in the distribution of mol­ecular contacts as judged from the percentage contribution of the corresponding contacts on the Hirshfeld surface. The maximum variation in the distribution of H⋯H, H⋯C/C⋯H, H⋯O/O⋯H and H⋯n class="Chemical">N/N⋯H contacts ranged from 7.1, 4.9, 2.2 and 3.8%, respectively among the three crystals.

Database survey

As mentioned in the Chemical Context, there are two polymorphs available for 4 LH2 (Lee & Wang, 2007 ▸; Lee, 2010 ▸). In Form I (Lee & Wang, 2007 ▸), two independent mol­ecules comprise the asymmetric unit whereas in Form II (Lee, 2010 ▸), half a centrosymmetric mol­ecule comprises the asymmetric unit. Selected geometric parameters for the polymorphs and (I) are given in Table 3 ▸. To a first approximation, the mol­ecular structures present the same geometric features, i.e. a planar central region and an anti­periplanar relationship between the pyridyl rings. It is noted that the central C—C bond is relatively long, a consistent observation traced to the influence of electronegative n class="Chemical">carbonyl-O and amide-N substituents and confirmed by DFT calculations in the case of polymorphic 3 LH2 (Jotani et al., 2016 ▸) and in the sulfur analogues of 3 LH2, i.e. (n-C5H4N)CH2N(H)C(=S)C(=S)N(H)CH2(C5H4N-n), for n = 2, 3 and 4 (Zukerman-Schpector et al., 2015 ▸). The similarity between the four mol­ecules of 4 LH2 in its polymorphs and benzene solvate are highlighted in Fig. 10 ▸.

Synthesis and crystallization

The precursor, N,n class="Chemical">N′-bis­(pyridin-4-ylmeth­yl)oxalamide, was prepared in accordance with the literature procedure (m.p. 486.3–487.6 K; lit. 486–487 K; Nguyen et al., 1998 ▸): it (0.0015 g) was dissolved in DMF (0.5 ml) and then carefully layered in different experiments with 2 ml of benzene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, toluene, pyridine and cyclo­hexane. Among these solvent systems, only the DMF–benzene mixture resulted in colourless crystals of the benzene solvate, (I); m.p. 411.4–413.7 K. IR (cm−1): 3322 ν(N—H), 3141–2804 ν(C—H), 1696–1661 ν(C=O), 1563–1515 ν(C=C), 1414 ν(C—N), 794 δ(C=C).

Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 4 ▸. The carbon-bound n class="Disease">H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å) and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with U iso(H) set to 1.2U eq(C). The nitro­gen-bound H atom was located from difference-Fourier maps and refined with N—H = 0.88±0.01 Å, and with U iso(H) set to 1.2U eq(N).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.
