The missing crystal structure in the series of N,N′,N′′-tris­(pyridinyl)benzene-1,3,5-tricarbox­amides: the 2-pyridinyl derivative

In the first reported crystal structure involving the potential ligand N,N′,N′′-tris­(2-pyridin­yl)-1,3,5-benzene­tricarboxamide, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules via their amide groups into slanted ladder-like chains. Only two of the three amide groups in the mol­ecule are involved in hydrogen bonding, which influences the degree of out-of-plane twisting at each amide group.

Abstract

In the first reported crystal structure involving the potential ligand N,N′,N′′-tris­(pyridin-2-­yl)benzene-1,3,5-­tricarboxamide, C₂₄H₁₈N₆O₃, inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol­ecules via their amide groups into slanted ladder-like chains, in which the uprights of the ladder are formed by the hydrogen-bonding inter­actions and the benzene ring cores of the mol­ecules act as the rungs of the ladder. Only two of the three amide groups in the mol­ecule are involved in hydrogen bonding and this influences the degree of out-of-plane twisting at each amide group, with the twist being more significant for those amide groups participating in hydrogen bonds.

Chemical context  

Branched coordinating ligands with potential donor atoms on each branch can be useful as spacers in the synthesis of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks. A frequently used starting material is benzene-1,3,5-tri­carb­oxy­lic acid (trimesic acid), which can act as a three-way planar node-connector. A related, less frequently employed, ligand system is N,N′,N′′-tris­(n-pyridin­yl)-1,3,5-benzene­tricarboxamide (n = 2, 3 or 4), which has potential donor atoms on each pyridinyl ring and at the amide function.

We are inter­ested in constructing bis­muth(III) coordination polymers (Senior & Linden, 2020a ▸,b ▸) and have synthesized the above three amides as potential spacer ligands, although, so far, experiments involving these have not produced any Bi^III coordination polymers. The crystal structure of the 2-pyridinyl derivative, N,N′,N′′-tris­(2-pyridin­yl)-1,3,5-benzene­tricarboxamide, C₂₄H₁₈N₆O₃, (I), has not previously been reported and is described here.

Structural commentary  

The asymmetric unit of (I), shown in Fig. 1 ▸, contains one mol­ecule, which, despite its chemical threefold symmetry, does not adopt any crystallographic symmetry, nor does it have a propeller-like conformation in which the orientations of the amide groups all lie with the same relative orientation as one progresses around the benzene ring. This may be related to the absence of any hydrogen-bonding inter­actions at one of the amide groups, while the other amide groups act as both hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors (see Supra­molecular features). The 2-pyridinyl rings all lie with the ring N atom approximately cis to the amide N—H group.

The bond lengths and angles in the mol­ecule have normal values and the bond lengths around the amide groups (Table 1 ▸) are not significantly influenced by the presence or absence of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions. Of more inter­est are the deviations from the central benzene ring plane of the amide and 2-pyridinyl groups. The torsion angles listed in Table 1 ▸ indicate that each of the amide C(O)—N bonds is twisted by approximately 27° out of the plane of the benzene ring. On the other hand, for the amide group not involved in hydrogen bonding, the amide C7(O1)—N1 bond is twisted by less than 8° from the plane of the 2-pyridinyl ring, while for the other two amide groups, the magnitude of the C(O)—N twist is in the range 25–34°. This suggests that the hydrogen-bonding inter­actions significantly influence the orientation of the adjacent 2-pyridinyl ring; where inter­actions occur, the ring is rotated more to accommodate the inter­molecular hydrogen bonds. The dihedral angles between the planes of the benzene ring and the 2-pyridinyl rings adjacent to the amide groups involving atoms N1, N3 and N5 are 20.41 (5), 3.11 (5) and 7.50 (5)°, respectively, which again highlights the difference attributable to the absence of hydrogen-bonding inter­actions at the amide group involving atom N1.

Supra­molecular features  

In the extended structure of (I), the mol­ecules are linked into slanted ladder-like chains by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which involve the amide groups as donors and acceptors (Table 2 ▸, Fig. 2 ▸). The 2-pyridinyl N atoms are not involved in these inter­actions. The ladders progress parallel to the [100] direction. The uprights of the ladder are formed by the hydrogen-bonding inter­actions and the benzene ring cores of the mol­ecules act as the rungs of the ladder. Considered separately, amide group N2—H inter­acts with the O atom of the N3—H amide group of an adjacent mol­ecule and continuing the same path brings one back to the original mol­ecule, thereby completing a loop that can be described by a graph-set motif (Bernstein et al., 1995 ▸) of (16). Similarly, the amide group N3—H inter­acts with the O atom of the N2—H amide group of the adjacent mol­ecule on the other side to give the same loop motif. These two loops alternate as one progresses along the ladder. The rungs of the ladder can be described by the chain graph-set motif of (8), because it involves the N2—H and N3—H amide groups in an alternating sequence.

The slanted stacking of the mol­ecules as the rungs of the hydrogen-bonded ladder only allow weak π–π inter­actions, which occur between the central benzene ring and the 2-pyridinyl ring containing atom N5 in the centrosym­metrically related adjacent mol­ecule on one side at 1 − x, 1 − y, 1 − z, and with the 2-pyridinyl ring containing atom N6 in the centrosymmetrically related adjacent mol­ecule on the other side at −x, 1 − y, 1 − z. These inter­actions reinforce the ladder structure, rather than linking adjacent ladders. For the inter­actions involving the 2-pyridinyl rings containing atoms N5 and N6, respectively, the distances between the centroids of the benzene and 2-pyridinyl rings are 3.8956 (6) and 3.8409 (6) Å, the perpendicular distances between the centroid of the benzene ring and the planes of the 2-pyridinyl rings are 3.4522 (5) and 3.4610 (4) Å, while the slippages of the centroids are 1.735 and 2.097 Å and the angles between the benzene and 2-pyridinyl ring planes are 3.11 (5) and 7.50 (5)°.

Database survey  

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, version 5.41, update of March 2020; Groom et al., 2016 ▸) has no entries for (I), its salts, nor for its use as a ligand. There are six crystal structures reported for the tris­(3-pyridin­yl) analogue; the pure ansolvate (Palmans et al., 1997 ▸), and five reports of the monohydrate, which occurs in two polymorphic forms with space groups Cc and Pbca (Rajput & Biradha, 2008 ▸, 2011 ▸; Jia et al., 2009 ▸; Zhang et al., 2016 ▸). In the ansolvate, the 3-pyridinyl rings all lie with the ring N atom approximately cis to the adjacent amide N—H group, as in (I), but is the only example among the 2- and 3-pyridinyl analogues where a propellor-like sequence of the three arms of the mol­ecule is observed. In the Cc polymorph of the monohydrate, two of the 3-pyridinyl rings lie approximately trans to their adjacent amide N—H groups, while in the Pbca polymorph, all three of the 3-pyridinyl rings have the trans arrangement. Surprisingly, there are only three crystal structures reported for the tris­(4-pyridin­yl) analogue; the monohydrate (Rajput & Biradha, 2011 ▸), its chloro­form solvate monohydrate (Luo et al., 2013 ▸) and its di­methyl­sulfoxide methanol solvate (Kumar et al., 2004 ▸). Only the latter two display a propeller-like sequence of the three arms of the mol­ecule

The CSD contains 28 entries for coordination complexes where the tris­(3-pridin­yl) analogue acts as a ligand. In most of these, the ligand coordinates through the pyridinyl N atom, although the amide O atom is involved in a few examples. The tris­(4-pyridin­yl) analogue occurs as a ligand in six coordination complexes, all of which involve coordination through the pyridinyl N atom. Given the propensity of the pyridinyl N atom to act as the coordinating atom in these examples, the steric congestion between the 2-pyridinyl ring and the adjacent amide group of (I) might indicate why it has not appeared as a ligand in any coordination complexes so far. Presumably for similar reasons, the CSD does not contain entries involving analogous mol­ecules or ligands where the 2-pyridinyl rings have been replaced by 2-benzoic acid or 2-benzoate substituents and there are no known reports of their synthesis. The CSD contains entries for seven and 19 complexes with the 3-and 4-benzoate ligands, respectively, but only one crystal structure involving a neutral acid, that of the tris­(4-benzoic acid) analogue, is known (Zhang et al., 2012 ▸).

Synthesis and crystallization  

A solution of 2-amino­pyridine (0.96 g) in di­chloro­methane (DCM) (12 ml) and tri­methyl­amine (TEA) (1.4 ml) was added dropwise to a solution of benzene-1,3,5-tri­carb­oxy­lic acid trichloride in DCM (3.4 ml) at 273 K. A further 1.5 ml of TEA were added and reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for approximately 5 days until the dark-brown–red slurry turned yellow–orange. The reaction mixture was filtered under vacuum and washed with DCM. It proved difficult to isolate a purified product until the product was washed with copious amounts of water, then collected as a precipitate via filtration through fluted filter paper and dried in air between filter papers. Crystals were grown by dissolving the product in warm methanol, filtering and allowing slow evaporation of solvent overnight. A small qu­antity of orange–yellow crystals was recovered from a yellow oil. ¹H NMR δ: 11.03 (s, 3H), 8.76 (s, 3H), 8.44 (d, 3H, J = 4.82), 8.28 (d, 3H, J = 8.48), 7.90 (t, 3H, J = 7.90), 7.22 (t, 3H, J = 6.16); ESI m/z: 438.14335 (predicted 438.14).

Refinement  

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 3 ▸. The amide H atoms were located in a difference-Fourier map and their positions were refined together with individual isotropic displacement parameters. All other H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms (C—H = 0.95 Å) with U _iso(H) = 1.2U _eq(C).

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.
