Abstract
The terpyridine group of the title compound, C31H27N4O, assumes an all-transoid conformation and is essentially planar with the dihedral angles between the mean planes of the central pyridine and the two outer rings amounting to 3.87 (5) and 1.98 (5)°. The pyrroline-N-oxyl group commonly seen in such nitroxyls is found in the title structure and the mean plane of the pyrroline ring subtends a dihedral angle of 88.44 (7)° to the mean plane of the central pyridine ring. The intramolecular separation between the nitrogen atom of the central pyridine unit of the terpyridine group and the nitroxyl group is 14.120 (2) Å. In the crystal, the molecules are arranged in layers stacked along [001]. Slipped face-to-face π–π interactions between the pyridine rings are observed along this direction with the shortest centroid–centroid distances amounting to 3.700 (1) and 3.781 (1) Å. Furthermore, edge-on C—H⋯π interactions between the phenylene rings of neighbouring molecules are observed along this direction. A two-dimensional C—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded network is formed within the (010) plane. The shortest O⋯O separation between neighbouring molecules is 5.412 (3) Å.
Chemical context
The title compound, (1), was synthesized as a ligand for 3d metal ions as part of a pulsed EPR study on metal–nitroxyl model systems. The molecule contains a paramagnetic nitroxyl group and a terpyridine group. Nitroxyls have been the subject of magnetic studies in which exchange interactions have been detected (see, for example, Rajca et al., 2006 ▸; Fritscher et al., 2002 ▸). Furthermore, nitroxyls are used as spin labels for structural investigations of biological macromolecules (Reginsson & Schiemann, 2011 ▸). The structures of terpyridines have been investigated by Fallahpour et al. (1999 ▸), Eryazici et al. (2006 ▸), Bessel et al. (1992 ▸) and Grave et al. (2003 ▸) to name a few examples. The terpyridine moiety is known to form complexes with various metals. Numerous studies on metal complexes of terpyridine have been conducted, examples include those by Hogg & Wilkins (1962 ▸), Constable et al. (1999 ▸), Narr et al. (2002 ▸) and Folgado et al. (1990 ▸).
Structural commentary
The structure of the title compound (1) is shown in Fig. 1 ▸. The terpyridine group of (1) assumes an all-transoid conformation and is essentially planar with angles between the mean planes of the central pyridine (N1, C1–C5, r.m.s deviation from the mean plane = 0.006 Å) and the two outer rings amounting to 3.87 (5)° (N4, C27–C31, r.m.s. deviation from the mean plane = 0.003 Å) and 1.98 (5)° (N2, C6–C10, r.m.s deviation from the mean plane = 0.006 Å), respectively. The pyrroline-N-oxyl unit commonly found for such nitroxyls is seen in the structure and its mean plane (N3, C19–C22, r.m.s deviation from the mean plane = 0.006 Å) subtends a dihedral angle of 88.44 (7)° to the mean plane of the central pyridine ring (for similar structural motifs, see Margraf et al., 2009 ▸ and Schuetz et al., 2010 ▸). The subunits are linked by a 4-ethinylenephenylene group. The mean plane of the phenylene group (C11–C16, r.m.s deviation from the mean plane < 0.001 Å) is tilted with respect to both the central pyridine ring [dihedral angle of 51.36 (5)°] and the pyrroline-N-oxyl [dihedral angle of 37.62 (7)°]. The angles C18—C17—C14 [177.35 (19)°] and C17—C18—C19 [175.64 (18)°] are slightly lower than the 180° expected for a strictly linear shape of the molecular backbone. Two short intramolecular hydrogen–nitrogen distances are observed between the two meta-protons of the central pyridine subunit and the nitrogen atoms of the external pyridine rings (Table 1 ▸). Murguly et al. (1999 ▸) propose weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds for these atoms. The intramolecular separation between the terpyridine group and the nitroxyl amounts to 14.120 (2) Å (measured between O1 and N1).

Supramolecular features
The packing within the crystal structure is shown in Figs. 2 ▸–4 ▸ ▸. The molecules are stacked in layers along [001] (Fig. 2 ▸.) The oxygen atom of the nitroxyl group forms weak hydrogen bonds to the protons of the para-C—H group and the pyrroline C—H group of neighbouring molecules (Table 1 ▸). These hydrogen bonds span a two-dimensional network within the (010) plane (Figs. 3 ▸ and 4 ▸). π–π interactions are observed along [001] between the terpyridine subunits of neighbouring molecules (Figs. 3 ▸ and 5 ▸). These terpyridine subunits are arranged in a slipped face-to-face alignment (Janiak, 2000 ▸) with the shortest intermolecular distances between the pyridine rings amounting to 3.700 (1) Å (measured from the centroid of N2, C6–C10 to the centroid of N4, C27–C31) and 3.781 (1) Å (centroid of N1, C1–C5 to the centroid of N4, C27–C31, see Fig. 5 ▸). Furthermore, the phenylene rings of neighbouring molecules show an edge-on C—H⋯π interaction along the same axis (Table 1 ▸ and Fig. 5 ▸). The nitroxyl groups are arranged in an alternating manner pointing in opposite directions. The shortest oxygen–oxygen separation between neighbouring molecules amounts to 5.412 (3) Å. The oxygen–oxygen distance is an important factor determining the strength of through space exchange interactions of nitroxyls (Rajca et al. 2006 ▸).

Database survey
The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, Version 5.36; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) has been queried to find other terpyridine or 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-N-oxyl-3-pyrroline derivatives. The terpyridine query revealed 3473 entries in the CSD if metal complexes of terpyridine were included. For purely organic terpyridine compounds, the number of hits was reduced to 348. Only 33 results for 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-N-oxyl-3-pyrroline derivatives were found in the CSD. A combined query for structures which include both terpyridine and 2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-N-oxyl-3-pyrroline derivatives did not result in any hit. However, the authors are aware of at least one published crystal structure of a compound which contains both structural motifs (Ackermann et al., 2015 ▸).
Synthesis and crystallization
The title compound (1) is formed from 3-ethinyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl and 4′-(4-bromophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine using a Sonogashira–Hagihara cross-coupling reaction, as shown in Fig. 6 ▸. 222 mg (0.57 mmol) of 4′-(4-bromophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine, 100 mg (0.61 mmol) of 3-ethinyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl, 20 mg (0.076 mmol) of PPh3 and 40 mg (0.035 mmol) of Pd(PPh3)4 were dissolved in 17 ml of i-Pr2NH and stirred at 313 K, yielding a yellow solution which turned orange over the course of 5 min. Additionally, an orange precipitate was formed simultaneously. After 5.5 h, 2 ml of dimethylformamide were added to the orange suspension. The stirring at 313 K was continued for 16 h, after which time the solvents were removed under reduced pressure. The orange residues were suspended in a mixture of dichloromethane and cyclohexane (1:2) and subsequently subjected to column chromatography using aluminum oxide as stationary phase. A mixture of dichloromethane and cyclohexane was used as eluent. The volumetric ratio of both solvents was changed stepwise during the purification (from 1:8 to 8:1). The desired product was obtained in a yellow fraction and could be isolated by removing the eluents under reduced pressure (yield 80%). The crystallization of (1) was achieved by slow evaporation of a solution of (1) in a 1:1 mixture of acetonitrile and dichloromethane. 4′-(4-Bromophenyl)-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine was purchased from TCI Europe. 3-Ethinyl-2,2,5,5-tetramethyl-3-pyrroline-N-oxyl was synthesized as described by Schiemann et al. (2007 ▸).

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. |
