Conformational analysis of two new organotin(IV) structures completed with a CSD survey.

The conformational flexibilities are studied in two new organotin(IV) complexes, namely, trans-dichloridodimethylbis[N,N',N''-tris(2-chlorobenzyl)phosphoric triamide]tin(IV), [Sn(CH3)2(C21H21Cl3N3OP)2Cl2] or Sn(CH3)2Cl2{OP[NHCH2C6H4(2-Cl)]3}2, (I), and bis(dipropylammonium) tetrachloridodimethylstannate(IV), [(CH3CH2CH2)2NH2]2[Sn(CH3)2Cl4], (II), and their analogous structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The conformations are considered based on the N-P=O-Sn torsion angles for (I) and the C-C-C-N, C-C-N-C, C-N-C-C and N-C-C-C torsion angles for the two symmetry-independent [CH3CH2CH2NH2CH2CH2CH3]+ cations in (II), and the ±ac±sp±ac (ac = anticlinal and sp = synperiplanar) and ±ap±ap±ap±ap (ap = antiperiplanar) conformations are observed, respectively. In both structures, the four atoms in the corners of the square-planar segment of the octahedral shape around the Sn atom participate in normal hydrogen-bonding interactions as acceptors, which include two O and two Cl atoms for (I), and four Cl atoms for (II). However, the phosphoric triamide ligands block the environment around the Sn atom and limit the hydrogen-bond pattern to form a supramolecular ribbon assembly, while in the presence of small organic cations in (II), a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded architecture is achieved. The weak interactions π-π, C-H...π and C-Cl...π in (I), and C-H...Cl in (II) do not change the dimensionality of the hydrogen-bond pattern. The 62 CSD structures analogous to (I), i.e. with an SnOPN3 segment (including 83 entries) fall into four categories of conformations based on the N-P=O-Sn torsion angles. The 132 [(CH3CH2CH2)2NH2]+ cations from 85 CSD structures are classified into seven groups based on the torsion angles noted for (II). Most of the CSD structures adopt the same associated conformations noted for (I) and (II). 15 [Sn(CH3)2Cl4]2- anions extracted from the CSD are compared with the structure of (II).

The first phosphoramide-mercury(II) complex with a Cl2Hg-OP[N(C)(C)]3 segment.

Mercury(II) exhibits a strong preference for linear coordination which has been attributed to relativistic effects splitting the 6p orbitals and promoting sp hybridization. If the two ligands attached to the mercury(II) ion are weak donors, the metal ion can act as a good Lewis acid and expand its coordination number. Moreover, mercury has a special affinity for softer bases, such as S and N atoms, and has much less affinity for hard bases, such as those including an O atom. The asymmetric unit of dichlorido[tris(piperidin-1-yl)phosphane oxide-κO]mercury(II)-dichloridomercury(II) (2/1), [HgCl2{(C5H10N)3PO}]2·[HgCl2], is composed of one HgCl2{(C5H10N)3PO} complex and one half of a discrete HgCl2 entity located on an inversion centre. The coordination environment around the Hg(II) centre in the complex component is a distorted T-shape. Bond-valence-sum calculations confirm the three-coordination mode of the Hg(II) atom of the complex molecule. The noncovalent nature of the Hg...Cl and Hg...O interactions in the structure are discussed.

Hirshfeld surface analysis of two new phosphorothioic triamide structures.

Hirshfeld surfaces and two-dimensional fingerprint plots are used to analyse the intermolecular interactions in two new phosphorothioic triamide structures, namely N,N',N''-tris(3,4-dimethylphenyl)phosphorothioic triamide acetonitrile hemisolvate, P(S)[NHC6H3-3,4-(CH3)2]3·0.5CH3CN or C24H30N3PS·0.5CH3CN, (I), and N,N',N''-tris(4-methylphenyl)phosphorothioic triamide-3-methylpiperidinium chloride (1/1), P(S)[NHC6H4(4-CH3)]3·[3-CH3-C5H9NH2](+)·Cl(-) or C21H24N3PS·C6H14N(+)·Cl(-), (II). The asymmetric unit of (I) consists of two independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules and one acetonitrile solvent molecule, whereas for (II), the asymmetric unit is composed of three components (molecule, cation and anion). In the structure of (I), the different components are organized into a six-molecule aggregate through N-H···S and N-H···N hydrogen bonds. The components of (II) are aggregated into a two-dimensional array through N-H···S and N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds. Moreover, interesting features of packing arise in this structure due to the presence of a double hydrogen-bond acceptor (the S atom of the phosphorothioic triamide molecule) and of a double hydrogen-bond donor (the N-H unit of the cation). For both (I) and (II), the full fingerprint plot of each component is asymmetric as a consequence of the presence of three fragments. These analyses reveal that H···H interactions [67.7 and 64.3% for the two symmetry-independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules of (I), 30.7% for the acetonitrile solvent of (I), 63.8% in the phosphorothioic triamide molecule of (II) and 62.9% in the 3-methylpiperidinium cation of (II)] outnumber the other contacts for all the components in both structures, except for the chloride anion of (II), which only receives the Cl···H contact. The phosphorothioic triamide molecules of both structures include unsaturated C atoms, thus presenting C···H/H···C interactions: 17.6 and 21% for the two symmetry-independent phosphorothioic triamide molecules in (I), and 22.7% for the phosphorothioic triamide molecule of (II). Furthermore, the N-H···S hydrogen bonds in both (I) and (II), and the N-H...Cl hydrogen bonds in (II), are the most prominent interactions, appearing as large red spots on the Hirshfeld surface maps. The N···H/H···N contacts in structure (I) are considerable, whereas for (II), they give a negligible contribution to the total interactions in the system.

Analysis of N-H···O hydrogen bonds in new C(O)-NH-P(O)-based phosphoric triamides and analogous structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database.

Five new compounds belonging to the phosphoric triamide family have been synthesized: two of them with the formula XC(O)NHP(O)Y [X = CF3 (1) and CClF2 (2), Y = NHCH2C(CH3)2CH2NH] involving a 1,3-diazaphosphorinane ring part, and three 2,6-Cl2C6H3C(O)NHP(O)Z2 phosphoric triamides [Z = NHC(CH3)3 (3), N(CH3)(C6H11) (4) and N(CH3)(CH2C6H5) (5)]. The characterization was performed by (31)P{(1)H}, (1)H, (13)C NMR, IR spectroscopy besides (19)F NMR for fluorine containing compounds (1) and (2), and X-ray single-crystal structure analysis for (1), (3), (4) and (5). In each molecule the P atom has a distorted tetrahedral environment. The N atoms bonded to P atom have mainly sp(2) character with a very slight tendency to a pyramidal coordination for some amido groups. Different types of N-H···O hydrogen bonds have been analyzed for (1), (3), (4) and (5) and 118 other structures (including 194 hydrogen bonds) deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database, containing either C(O)-NH-P(O)[N(C)(C)]2 or C(O)-NH-P(O)[NH(C)]2. The participation of N(CP)-H···O=P [N(CP) = the nitrogen atom of the C(O)-NH-P(O) fragment], N-H···O=P, N-H···O=C and N(CP)-H···O=C hydrogen bonds in different hydrogen-bonded motifs are discussed. Moreover, the involvement of the O atoms of C=O or P=O in the [N(CP)-H][N-H]···O=P, [N-H]2···O=P, [N-H]2···O=C and [N-H]3···O=C groups are considered. A histogram of N···O distances, the distribution of N-H···O angles and the scatterplot of N-H···O angles versus N···O distances are studied.

N-[Bis(morpholin-4-yl)phosphino-yl]-2-chloro-2,2-difluoro-acetamide.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(10)H(17)ClF(2)N(3)O(4)P, consists of two independent mol-ecules in each of which the P atom adopts a distorted tetra-hedral environment with the P=O and N-H units in a syn orientation with respect to one another. Both morpholine rings in one of the phospho-ramide mol-ecules are disordered over two sets of sites, with site occupancies of 0.766 (7) and 0.234 (7) for one ring and 0.639 (10) and 0.361 (10) for the other. In the second phospho-ramide mol-ecule, one of the NC(4)H(8)O moieties is disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.807 (6) and 0.193 (6). In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O(P) hydrogen bonds form two independent centrosymmetric dimers.

Different cyclic motifs in phosphoric triamides containing a C(O)NHP(O)(NH)2 skeleton and an R(2)(2)(10) graph set in three new compounds: a database analysis of hydrogen-bond strengths based on motifs.

In the crystal networks of N,N'-bis(2-chlorobenzyl)-N''-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)phosphoric triamide, C(21)H(18)Cl(2)F(2)N(3)O(2)P, (I), N-(2,6-difluorobenzoyl)-N',N''-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)phosphoric triamide, C(23)H(24)F(2)N(3)O(4)P, (II), and N-(2-chloro-2,2-difluoroacetyl)-N',N''-bis(4-methylphenyl)phosphoric triamide, C(16)H(17)ClF(2)N(3)O(2)P, (III), C=O···H-N(C(O)NHP(O)) and P=O···H-N(amide) hydrogen bonds are responsible for the aggregation of the molecules. This is the opposite result from that commonly observed for carbacylamidophosphates, which show a tendency for the phosphoryl group, rather than the carbonyl counterpart, to form hydrogen bonds with the NH group of the C(O)NHP(O) skeleton. This hydrogen-bond pattern leads to cyclic R(2)(2)(10) motifs in (I)-(III), different from those found for all previously reported compounds of the general formula RC(O)NHP(O)[NR(1)R(2)](2) with the syn orientation of P=O versus NH [R(2)(2)(8)], and also from those commonly observed for RC(O)NHP(O)[NHR(1)](2) [a sequence of alternate R(2)(2)(8) and R(2)(2)(12) motifs]. In these cases, the R(2)(2)(8) and R(2)(2)(12) graph sets are formed through similar kinds of hydrogen bond, i.e. a pair of P=O···H-N(C(O)NHP(O)) hydrogen bonds for the former and two C=O···H-N(amide) hydrogen bonds for the latter. This article also reviews 102 similar structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database and with the International Union of Crystallography, with the aim of comparing hydrogen-bond strengths in the above-mentioned cyclic motifs. This analysis shows that the strongest N-H···O hydrogen bonds exist in the R(2)(2)(8) rings of some molecules. The phosphoryl and carbonyl groups in each of compounds (I)-(III) are anti with respect to each other and the P atoms are in a tetrahedral coordination environment. In the crystal structures, adjacent molecules are linked via the above-mentioned hydrogen bonds in a linear arrangement, parallel to [010] for (I) and (III) and parallel to [100] for (II). Formation of the N(C(O)NHP(O))-H···O=C instead of the N(C(O)NHP(O))-H···O=P hydrogen bond is reflected in the higher N(C(O)NHP(O))-H vibrational frequencies for these molecules compared with previously reported analogous compounds.

N,N'-Dibenzyl-N''-(2-chloro-2,2-difluoro-acet-yl)-N,N'-dimethyl-phospho-ric triamide.

In the title mol-ecule, C(18)H(21)ClF(2)N(3)O(2)P, the P=O and N-H groups are syn to each other. The P atom adopts a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment and the N atoms of the tertiary amine groups are bonded in an essentially planar geometry. In the crystal, pairs of inter-molecular N-H⋯O(P) hydrogen bonds form centrosymmetric dimers.

N-(2-Chloro-2,2-difluoro-acet-yl)-N',N''-diisopropyl-phospho-ric triamide.

In the title compound, C(8)H(17)ClF(2)N(3)O(2)P, the phosphoryl group and the NH unit of the C(O)NHP(O) moiety adopt a syn conformation with respect to each other. The P atom is in a tetra-hedral coordination environment and the environment of the N atom of the C(O)NHP(O) moiety is essentially planar. In the crystal, adjacent mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O =P and N-H⋯O =C hydrogen bonds, building R(2) (2)(8) and R(2) (2)(12) rings in a linear arrangement parallel to [110].
