Crystal structures of 1-(4-chloro­phen­yl)-2-(di­phenyl­phosphor­yl)ethan-1-one and 1-(di­phenyl­phosphor­yl)-3,3-di­methyl­butan-2-one

The title compounds were synthesized via an Arbuzov reaction between an α-bromo­ketone and isopropoxydi­phenyl­phosphane. In the crystals of both compounds, mol­ecules are linked via bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100] and along [010].

Abstract

The title compounds, C₂₀H₁₆ClO₂P, (I), and C₁₈H₂₁O₂P, (II), were synthesized via an Arbuzov reaction between an α-bromo­ketone and isopropoxydi­phenyl­phosphane. In the crystals of both compounds, mol­ecules are linked via bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100] for (I) and along [010] for (II). The chains are linked via C—H⋯π inter­actions, leading to the formation of sheets lying parallel to (010) for (I) and (001) for (II). The absolute structure of compound (II) was determined by resonant scattering [Flack parameter = 0.088 (14)].

Chemical context  

The luminescent properties of lanthanide metals continue to gain attention from researchers inter­ested in the coordination chemistry of f-block elements. Direct excitation of lanthanides is difficult due to the parity forbidden f–f transitions required and relatively low molar absorptivities, but fortunately this excitation can be sensitized with an appropriate organic ligand. The ligand acts as an antenna by harvesting the excitation energy and transferring this energy to the metal emitting state (Weissman, 1942 ▸). The resulting emission bands have peak widths less than 10 nm, with a color characteristic of each lanthanide ion. As such, lanthanide metals have found uses in both material and biological applications (de Bettencourt-Dias, 2007 ▸; Thibon & Pierre, 2009 ▸; Eliseeva & Bünzli, 2010 ▸).

Recently, the carbamoyl­methyl­phosphane oxide (CMPO) group has been shown to be an effective ligand for the sensitization of lanthanide luminescence (Sharova et al., 2012 ▸; Rosario-Amorin et al., 2013 ▸; Sartain et al., 2015 ▸). We undertook this work to investigate the role of the aryl carbonyl group on the ability of the CMPO moiety to act as an antenna in this process. Tuning the structure of these organic ligands may be tantamount to potential improvements in the absorption, transfer, and emission of energy by the resultant lanthanide–ligand complex. We report herein on the synthesis and crystal structure of two new CMPO ligands.

Structural commentary  

The mol­ecular structures of compounds (I) and (II) are shown in Figs. 1 ▸ and 2 ▸, respectively. While compound (I) crystallized in the ortho­rhom­bic centrosymmetric space group Pbca, compound (II) crystallized in the chiral monoclinic space group P2₁. In compound (I), the two phenyl rings (C9–C14 and C15–C20) are inclined to one another by 75.53 (8)°, and to the chloro­benzene ring (C3–C8) by 47.98 (8) and 62.16 (8)°, respectively. Atom P1 has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry with the C—P=O bond angles varying from 112.02 (7) to 114.35 (7)°, while the C—P—C angles vary from 105.04 (7) to 106.60 (7)°. The carbonyl group (C1=O1) and the phosphoryl group (P1=O2) are anti to one another, most probably to minimize unfavourable dipole–dipole inter­actions. In compound (II), the two phenyl rings (C7–C12 and C13–C18) are inclined to one another by 86.4 (2)°. Atom P1 also has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry with the C—P=O bond angles varying from 111.47 (16) to 115.06 (16)°, while the C—P—C bond angles vary from 101.84 (15) to 109.21 (16)°. Here the carbonyl group (C1=O1) and the phosphoryl group (P1=O2) are syn to one another.

Supra­molecular features  

In the crystal of (I), the phosphoryl groups are aligned with the a axis, and as the individual mol­ecules stack in this direction they appear to rotate around the chlorine atom that lies close to the twofold screw axis, creating a pinwheel arrangement of mol­ecules (Fig. 3 ▸). The mol­ecules are linked via bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [100]; see Fig. 3 ▸ and Table 1 ▸. The chains are linked via C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 1 ▸), forming sheets lying parallel to (010).

Compound (II) packs in a similar arrangement to (I) in the solid state, although subtle differences result in the formation of a chiral crystal from an achiral compound (Fig. 4 ▸). For compound (II), the phosphoryl groups are again aligned in one direction (along the b axis), but in this case, the P1—C2 bond in the center of the mol­ecule lies about a twofold screw axis and acts as the pivot point for the pinwheel arrangement rather than the terminal chlorine atom as seen in the crystal of compound (I). The absence of an inversion center or mirror plane results in a chiral twist to the packing within this crystal. Here, mol­ecules are also linked via bifurcated C—H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bonds, forming chains propagating along [010] (see Table 2 ▸ and Fig. 4 ▸) and the chains are linked via C—H⋯π inter­actions (Table 2 ▸), forming sheets parallel to (001).

Database Survey  

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.36, November 2014; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) contains 11 structures with a β-ketodi­phenyl­phosphoryl moiety. Three of these structures are related to the title compounds, but have either an alkyl group bonded to the keto function or branching at the α-carbon, viz. E-(5SR,6SR)-3,6-dimethyl-5-di­phenyl­phos­phinoyl-7-tri­phenyl­meth­oxy­hept-2-en-4-one acetone solvate (SUGWOG; Doyle et al., 1993 ▸), anti-(2S,4S)-2-(N,N-dibenzyl­amino)-4-di­phenyl­phosphinoyl-1-phenyl­pentan-3-one monohydrate (RIZCEI; O’Brien et al., 1997 ▸) and (4R,5R)-4,5-dihy­droxy-1,5-diphenyl-2-(di­phenyl­phosphino­yl)pentan-1-one) (FODBUW: Boesen et al., 2005 ▸). The last compound (FODBUW) crystallizes in a chiral space group (P2₁2₁2₁), as does compound (II). The phenyl rings of the di­phenyl­phosphinoyl group in each of these three compounds are inclined to one another by ca 67.97, 73.25 and 68.24°, respectively, similar to the arrangement in compound (I).

Synthesis and crystallization  

The title compounds, (I) and (II), were prepared following slightly modified literature procedures (Arnaud-Neu et al., 1996 ▸; Schuster et al., 2009 ▸) by the Arbuzov reaction of isopropoxydi­phenyl­phosphane (Shintou et al., 2003 ▸) with 2-bromo-4′-chloro­aceto­phenone for (I) and 1-bromo­pinacolone for (II). For both compounds, crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction analysis were grown by slow evaporation of a solution of the compound in CDCl₃.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3 ▸. The hydrogen atoms were placed in calculated positions and refined as riding atoms: C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å with U _iso(H)= 1.5U _eq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2U _eq(C) for other H atoms.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

(II) 1-(Diphenylphosphoryl)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one. Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
