Vibrational spectra, crystal structure, DFT quantum chemical calculations and conformation of the hydrazo-bond in 6-methyl-3-nitro-2-(2-phenylhydrazinyl)pyridine.

The crystal and molecular structures of 6-methyl-3-nitro-2-(2-phenylhydrazinyl)pyridine (6-methyl-3-nitro-2-phenylhydrazopyridine) have been determined by X-ray diffraction and quantum chemical DFT analysis. The crystal is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with Z=8 formula units in the elementary unit cell of dimensions a=16.791(4), b=6.635(2), c=21.704(7)Å, ß=100.54(3)°. The molecule consists of two nearly planar pyridine subunits. A conformation of the linking hydrazo-bridge CNHNHC is bend and the dihedral angle between the planes of the phenyl and pyridine rings is 88.2(5)°. The hydrogen bonding of the type NH···N and possibly also CH···O favors a dimer formation in the crystal structure. The dimers are further linked by a NH···O hydrogen bond, so forming a layer parallel to the ab plane. The molecular structure of the studied compound has been determined using the DFT B3LYP/6-311G(2d,2p) approach and compared to that derived from X-ray studies. The IR and Raman wavenumbers have been calculated for the optimized geometry of a possible monomer structural model but the possibility of the dimer formation through the NH···N hydrogen bond has also been considered. The structural and vibrational properties of the intra-molecular NH···O interaction are described.

Molecular structure, IR and Raman spectra as well as DFT chemical calculations for alkylaminoacetylureas: vibrational characteristics of dicarbonylimide bridge.

The present work reports room temperature IR and Raman study of R-NH-CH2-CO-NH-CO-NH2 alkylaminoacetylureas (R=C3H7, C4H9, C5H11, C6H13, C7H15, C8H17, C9H19, C10H21, C12H25, C14H29, C16H33 and C18H37). The experimental energy levels have been compared to those obtained from DFT chemical quantum calculations performed with the use of B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) basis for the R=C3H7 derivative. Energies of 66 vibrational states have been calculated for this molecule. Its molecular symmetry was taken as C1 and was optimized in the both quantum models applied. The role of the hydrogen bond in the stabilization of the structure has been analyzed.

Structural and vibrational investigation of para-nitraminopyridine N-oxide. A combined experimental and theoretical studies.

The X-ray and vibrational spectroscopic analysis of para-nitraminopyridine N-oxide are reported. The crystals of investigated compound belong to P2(1) of the monoclinic system, Z=4, a=3.735 A, b=11.767 A, c=14.679 A and beta=93.27 degrees . Room temperature powder infrared and Raman spectra of the title compound and its deuterated analogue were measured. The molecular structure of p-nitraminopyridine N-oxide has been calculated with the aid of density functional (B3LYP) method with the extended 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. The calculated geometrical parameters of investigated molecule in gas phase were compared with experimental X-ray data. The harmonic frequencies, potential energy distribution (PED) and IR intensities of p-nitroaminopyridine N-oxide and its deuterated analogue were calculated with B3LYP method. The assignment of the experimental spectra has been made on the basis of the calculated PED. The time depend Hartree-Fock (TDHF) method was used for calculations of hyperpolarizability beta coefficient.
