The crystal and molecular structures of 3-methyl-2,4-diphenyl-(1,3)-thiazolidine-5-spiro-2′-adamantane and 3-methyl-2,4,5,5-tetraphenyl-(1,3)-thiazolidine are investigated showing the existence of C(sp 2 )-H‚‚‚S and C(sp 2 )-H‚‚‚N intramolecular contacts. The use of the Bader theory shows that C-H...S interactions existing in crystal structures may be treated as weak H bonds. The C-H...N and C-H...S interactions are also analyzed here for simple modeled complexes of (1,3)-thiazolidine as the proton acceptor and simple proton donators: HF, H 2 O, C 2 H 4 , and C 2 H 2 molecules. The calculations for these complexes were performed within the DFT method, B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. The bond critical points (BCPs) were found for these modeled systems and the analysis of the electron densities and their Laplacians at BCPs was performed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
