Insight into supramolecular self-assembly directed by weak interactions in acetophenone derivatives: crystal structures and Hirshfeld surface analyses

Abstract: The crystallographic study of four acetophenone derivatives (1-4) is reported in the context of crystal engineering with a detailed analysis of Hirshfeld surfaces and fingerprint plots facilitating a comparison of intermolecular interactions in building different supramolecular self-assemblies. The X-ray study reveals that molecules of 1-4 are linked by cooperative weak C-H/O, C-H/p and p/p stacking interactions which are responsible for the formation and strengthening of molecular assembly. The substituting b… Show more

“…13a,17,18 The wings at the top left (d e > d i ) correspond to the points on the surface around the C-H donor, while those at the bottom right (d e < d i ) correspond to the surface around the π-acceptor. The shape of the surfaces clearly reflects this contact, 18,19 through a broad depression in the surface above the π-electron cloud of the aryl ring. The proportions of C π ···H/H···C π contacts comprise 20.3% and 20.1% of the total Hirshfeld surface areas of each molecule in 3 and 4, respectively.…”

“…where there is a small twist in the N1-N2-C1-O1 torsion angle, -8.03 (18)º. In 4, an intramolecular N1-H···O1 hydrogen bond is formed that closes an S(5) loop but this is not formed in the other molecules, based on the distance criteria incorporated in PLATON; 9 see Table 2 for geometric details.…”

“…The intermolecular interactions [31][32][33][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] in the crystal structure were quantified using Hirshfeld surface analysis and the associated 2D fingerprint plots [45][46][47] were calculated via the Crystal Explorer 3.0 [48] , which accepts a structure input file in the CIF format. This approach has been built on the electron distribution calculated as the sum of spherical atom electron densities [49,50] .…”

“…When the cif files of crystals 1 and 2 were read into the CrystalExplorer program for analysis, all bond lengths to hydrogen were automatically modified to typical standard neutron values (C-H = 1.083 Å and N-H = 1.009 Å ). The 2D fingerprint plots [33][34][35] were displayed by using the standard 0.5-2.5 Å view with the d e and d i distance scales were displayed on the graph axes.…”
