Synthesis, Crystal Structure, Hirshfeld Surface Analysis, and Computational Study of a Novel Organic Salt Obtained from Benzylamine and an Acidic Component.

A novel Schiff base compound named as phenylmethanaminium (E)-4-((benzylimino)methyl)benzoate C7H10N+. C15H12NO2 - (A) is synthesized by the chemical reaction of benzylamine and 4-carboxybenzaldehyde in ethanol, and the structure of the titled compound is verified using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Structural investigation inferred that the crystal packing is mainly stabilized by N-H···O and comparatively weak C-H···O bonding between the cation and anion and further stabilized by weak C-H···π and C-O···π interactions. Hirshfeld surface analysis is employed to explore the noncovalent interactions that are responsible for crystal packing quantitatively. Furthermore, we have used state-of-the-art quantum chemical calculations to get comprehensive insights into the structure-optoelectronic property relationship for the entitled compound. The molecular geometry of compound A is optimized at the M06/6-311G* level of theory. The linear polarizability, third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) polarizability, total and partial density of states, and UV-visible spectrum are calculated through quantum chemical calculations. We believe that compound A is not only a new addition to crystallographic data but also possesses good optical and NLO properties for its potential use in lasers and frequency-converting applications.

Concentration effects on optical properties, DFT, crystal characterization and α-glucosidase activity studies: Novel Zn(II) complex.

A novel Zn(II) complex of 6-ClpicH and picH was synthesized and its structure was determined by XRD technique. The detailed experimental optical susceptibility and band gap, refractive index, linear polarizability, optical and electrical conductivity parameters in various concentrations were investigated by means of the UV-Vis spectroscopic data. The optical band gap, refractive index (n), linear optical susceptibility (χ(1)), third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ(3)), second- and third-order nonlinear optical (ß and γ) parameters were examined by using DFT/M06-L and ωB97XD/6-311++G(d,p) levels. The IC50 value of Zn(II) complex against α-glucosidase was also obtained at 0.44 mM. The experimental band gap of the Zn(II) complex at 13, 33, 44 and 94 µM concentrations in ethanol were found to be 4.38, 4.37, 4.35 and 4.28 eV, respectively. The third-order NLO susceptibility χ(3) parameter at 94 µM concentration corresponding to the photon energies of 4.6 and 5.7 eV in the UV-Vis region were observed at 206.6 × 10-13 and 294.3 × 10-13 esu, respectively. Besides, the theoretical χ(3) values were obtained at 50.58 × 10-13 and 20.37 × 10-13 esu by using M06-L level. These results indicate that Zn(II) complex could be an effective third-order NLO candidate material. In brief, the detailed theoretical and experimental structural, spectral and optical properties of the Zn(II) complex were presented comparatively.

Hirshfeld surface analysis and crystal structure of N-(2-meth-oxy-phen-yl)acetamide.

The title compound, C9H11NO2, was obtained as unexpected product from the reaction of (4-{2-benz-yloxy-5-[(E)-(3-chloro-4-methyl-phen-yl)diazen-yl]benzyl-idene}-2-phenyl-oxazol-5(4H)-one) with 2-meth-oxy-aniline in the presence of acetic acid as solvent. The amide group is not coplanar with the benzene ring, as shown by the C-N-C-O and C-N-C-C torsion angles of -2.5 (3) and 176.54 (19)°, respectively. Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (53.9%), C⋯H/H⋯C (21.4%), O⋯H/H⋯O (21.4%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (1.7%) inter-actions.

Synthesis, crystal structure, spectroscopic features and Hirshfeld surfaces of 2-methyl-3-[(2-methyl-phen-yl)carbamo-yl]phenyl acetate.

The title compound, C17H17NO3, was synthesized, characterized by IR spectroscopy and its crystal structure was determined from single-crystal diffraction data. The asymmetric unit contains two mol-ecules, which adopt different conformations. In one mol-ecule, the acet-oxy and the terminal 2-methyl-phenyl groups are positioned on opposite sides of the plane formed by the central benzene ring, whereas in the other mol-ecule they lie on the same side of this plane. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked through strong N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into chains along [010]. Hirshfeld surface analysis and fingerprint plots were used to investigate the inter-molecular inter-actions in the solid state.

The title compound, C13H8Br2FN3O3, is nearly planar with a dihedral angle of 10.6 (4)° between the two benzene rings. Intra-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Br hydrogen bonds. The roles of the inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing were clarified using Hirshfeld surface analysis.

In the title compound, C15H14N2O5, the benzene rings are nearly coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 4.89 (8)°. An intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs between the imino and meth-oxy groups. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into supra-molecular chains propagating along the a-axis direction. π-π stacking is observed between parallel benzene rings of neighbouring chains, the centroid-to-centroid distance being 3.6491 (10) Å. Three-dimensional Hirshfeld surface analyses and two-dimensional fingerprint plots have been used to analyse the inter-molecular inter-actions present in the crystal.
