Conformational dimorphism of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione)

A new monoclinic polymorph of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione) with Z′ = 1 is reported.

Abstract

In this study, a new monoclinic polymorph (space group C2/c) of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione), C₁₇H₁₀N₂O₄, is reported and compared to the previously reported triclinic polymorph (space group P ). Similarly, both polymorphs consist of a unique mol­ecule in the asymmetric unit (Z′ = 1). The mol­ecular conformations of the two polymorphs are very similar, as shown by the r.m.s. deviation of 0.368 Å (excluding all H atoms). The inter­molecular inter­actions of both polymorphs are described along with the Hirshfeld surface analysis, and the lattice energies are calculated.

Chemical context  

Phthalimide (or isoindoline-1,3-dione) derivatives with five-membered N-heterocycles have been proven to exhibit significant biological and pharmaceutical activities, and have also been used as dyes and heat-resistant polymers in industry (Chidan Kumar et al., 2015 ▸; Then et al., 2018 ▸). The first reported crystal structure of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione) (1α; Jiang et al., 2007 ▸) crystallizes in the centrosymmetric triclinic space group P [a = 7.6660 (9) Å, b = 9.5810 (8) Å, c = 10.2780 (6) Å, α = 104.325 (3)°, β = 99.768 (4)°, γ = 96.030 (3)°, Z = 2, Z′ = 1 and V = 712.23 (11) ų; Cambridge Structural Database (CSD; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) refcode SINDID]. In this article, we report the second polymorphic form (1β) of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione) with Z′ = 1 and compare its properties with those of 1α. According to the Online Dictionary of Crystallography, polymorphism is the phenomenon in which the same chemical compound exhibits different crystal structures (IUCr, 2018 ▸).

Structural commentary  

The asymmetric units of polymorphs 1α and 1β (Fig. 1 ▸) each contain a unique mol­ecule of 2,2′-methyl­enebis(isoindoline-1,3-dione), which consists of two phthalimide groups and a methyl­ene bridge. The phthalimide groups are nearly planar with maximum deviations of 0.029 (1) and 0.059 (1) Å for 1α, and 0.040 (4) and 0.064 (3) Å for 1β. There are two degrees of freedom to characterize the mol­ecular conformations of 1α and 1β: these are the torsion angles C1—N1—C9—N2 [106.7 (1) and 117.4 (3)°, respectively] and N1—C9—N2—C10 [109.2 (1) and 117.6 (3)°, respectively]. Generally, the mol­ecule of 1β deviates only slightly from that of 1α, as indicated by a r.m.s. deviation of 0.368 Å (excluding all H atoms) (Fig. 2 ▸). The mean planes of the phthalimide rings for 1β make a dihedral angle of 76.12 (8)°, which is smaller than that of 88.96 (4)° observed in polymorph 1α. The calculated density and Kitaigorodskii packing index (Spek, 2009 ▸) for 1β (1.469 Mg m⁻³ and 70.0%) are slightly higher than those observed for 1α (1.428 Mg m⁻³ and 69.0%).

Supra­molecular features  

The crystal packing of 1α features weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between neighboring phthalimide units. In the crystal structure of 1β (Fig. 3 ▸), the mol­ecules are connected by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1 ▸), forming a three-dimensional network. The crystal structure of 1β also features weak π–π inter­actions between two C2–C7 phenyl rings (symmetry code: −x, −y + 1, −z) and between N1/C1/C2/C7/C8 and C11–C16 rings (symmetry codes: −x + , y + , −z +  and −x + , y − , −z + ), with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.664 (3) and 3.938 (3) Å, respectively.

Hirshfeld surface analysis  

The Hirshfeld surface analysis and two-dimensional fingerprint plots were performed using CrystalExplorer version 17.5 (Spackman & Jayatilaka, 2009 ▸; Spackman & McKinnon, 2002 ▸; Turner et al., 2017 ▸). The H⋯O/O⋯H contact is the most populated contact and contributes 38.2 and 34.4% of the total inter­molecular contacts of 1α and 1β (Fig. 4 ▸), respectively. The large red spots on the Hirshfeld surface mapped over d _norm for 1β (Fig. 5 ▸) correspond to the inter­molecular C3—H3A⋯O3 and C15—H15A⋯O2 hydrogen-bonds. The tips of the pseudo-mirrored sharp spikes at d _e + d _i ≃ 2.32 Å represent the shortest H⋯O/O⋯H contacts, corresponding to the inter­molecular C3—H3A⋯O3 hydrogen-bond. The H⋯H contact is the second most populated contact and contributes 25.4 and 26.5% of the total inter­molecular contacts of 1α and 1β, respectively. The shortest H⋯H contacts of 1α (symmetry code: −x, −y, −z + 1) and 1β (symmetry code: −x, y, −z − ) are illustrated as two sharp tips along the diagonal of their two-dimensional fingerprint plots at de ≃ di ≃ 1.06 and 1.21 Å [Fig. 4 ▸(c)], respectively. The percentages of contribution of H⋯C/C⋯H, O⋯C/C⋯O and C⋯C contacts to the Hirshfeld surface are 20.6, 3.3 and 8.9%, respectively, for 1α, and 20.8, 7.9 and 6.7%, respectively, for 1β (Fig. 4 ▸). The absence of significant C—H⋯π inter­actions in the crystal structure of 1β is indicated by the absence of characteristic ‘wings’ in the fingerprint plot of H⋯C/C⋯H contacts [Fig. 4 ▸(d)]. The C⋯C contacts appear as a unique ‘triangle’ focused at d _e ≃ d _i ≃ 1.75 Å [Fig. 4 ▸(f)]. The inter­molecular π–π inter­actions are illustrated as unique patterns of red and blue ‘triangles’ on the shape-index surface (Fig. 6 ▸), and flat regions on the curvedness surface (Fig. 7 ▸), of the C2–C7, N1/C1/C2/C7/C8 and C11–C16 rings.

Lattice energy calculation  

The C—H bond lengths in 1α and 1β were normalized to 1.08 Å and the lattice energies were calculated by using the CLP-PIXEL software package (Gavezzotti, 2003 ▸, 2008 ▸). The calculated lattice energy of 1α (130.3 kJ mol⁻¹) is slightly larger than for 1β (128.5 kJ mol⁻¹), indicating that 1α is slightly more stable than 1β under ambient conditions.

Synthesis and crystallization  

Single crystals of 1β were obtained from an unsuccessful synthesis of 2-{[(3-iodo­pyridin-4-yl)amino]­meth­yl}isoindoline-1,3-dione by reacting N-(bromo­meth­yl)phthalimide (1 mmol) and 4-amino-3-iodo­pyridine (1 mmol) in N,N-di­methyl­formamide (8 ml) with the presence of a catalytic amount of anhydrous potassium carbonate. The reaction solution was stirred for about 2 h at room temperature. Once the reaction was complete, the resultant mixture was poured into a beaker of ice-cooled water to obtain a precipitate (Then et al., 2018 ▸), which was then filtered, washed with distilled water and dried. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of a methanol solution.

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details of 1β are summarized in Table 2 ▸. All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å) and refined using a riding model, with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C).

Special details

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