Infinite chains connected by N—H...N hydrogen bonding form the primary packing motif in two closely related 4-­nitro­imidazole derivatives, viz. 5-bromo-2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole, C4H4BrN3O2, (I), and 2-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole-5-carbonitrile, C5H4N4O2, (II). These chains are almost identical, even though in (II) there are two symmetry-independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The differences appear in the inter­actions between the chains; in (I), there are strong C—Br...O halogen bonds, which connect the chains into a two-dimensional grid, while in (II), the cyano group does not participate in specific inter­actions and the chains are only loosely connected into a three-dimensional structure.

Comment top

Nitroimidazoles have been intensively investigated as radiosensitizers of hypoxic tumor cells and as veterinary drugs (Smithen & Hardy, 1982). Moreover, the 5(4)-bromo and 5(4)-cyano derivatives of nitroimidazoles have been proved to be excelent starting materials for purine derivatives synthesis (e.g. Suwiński et al., 1996, and references therein). For some time, we have studied weak intermolecular interactions in 4-nitroimidazole derivatives (e.g. Kubicki et al., 2001, 2002). We decribe here the intermolecular interactions in two closely related 4(5)-nitroimidazole derivatives, viz. 5(4)-bromo-4(5)-nitro-2-methyl-1H-imidazole, (I), and 5(4)-cyano-4(5)-nitro-2-methylimidazole, (II). In the previously reported pair of 5-cyanoimidazoles with blocked N1 atom (Kubicki, 2004a), which differed by the presence of a Cl atom, we observed chloro–cyano halogen bonds or cyano–cyano interactions.

The conformation of the molecules can be defined by the dihedral angle between the planar imidazole ring [the maximum deviation from the plane is 0.001 (3) Å in (I) and 0.002 (1) Å in (II)] and the nitro group. The values of these angles are small [2.3 (6)° in (I), and 5.2 (3) and 2.3 (2)° in the two independent molecules of (II)]; therefore, the whole molecules are approximately planar.

In both crystal structures, N—H···N hydrogen bonds form the primary motif of crystal packing (Table 1). Such chains are often observed in the crystal structures of the N-unsubstituted nitroimidazole derivatives (e.g. De Bondt et al., 1993). The chains created by these hydrogen bonds are almost identical in both cases (Figs. 3 and 4), even though in the asymmetric part of the unit cell of (II) there are two symmetry-independent molecules. It has been shown (Kubicki, 2005) that the percentage of structures with Z' > 1 (i.e. more than one symmetry-independent molecule) for simple imidazole derivatives is above the average value for organic molecules. In the structue of (II), the symmetry- independent molecules are almost identical, and the intermolecular interactions in which they take part are also almost identical. The only difference is that one of these molecule is connected with its centrosymmetric partner by a very weak, in fact disputable, C—N···C—N interaction [N···C distances of 3.516 (3) Å].

The differences in crystal packing are clearly seen at the next level of analysis, in the interactions between the chains. In (I), relatively short C—Br···O(nitro) halogen bonds connect the neighbouring chains. It might be noted that the Br···O contact of 2.986 (4) Å is one of the shortest contacts of this type. The contact to the other O atom of the nitro group is relatively long [3.363 (4) Å]. Such an unsymmetrical situation is quite typical; examples of (almost) symmetrical halogen bonds of this type are rare (cf. Kubicki, 2004b, and references therein). In (I), additional weak ππ interactions between molecules related by a b-glide plane perpendicular to x can also contribute to the determination of the structure. The molecules are almost parallel, the dihedral angle between the mean planes is 1.3 (3)°, and the distance between these planes is 3.487 Å (taking into account the offset; the distance between the mid-points is 3.730 Å).

On the other hand, in (II), it is hard to indicate any specific, directional interactions that could act between the chains (the cyano–cyano distances are far too long to play any role in the determination of crystal packing). Therefore, it is probable that just van der Waals forces are the driving factor for the packing of the hydrogen-bonded chains.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was synthesized by N-bromosuccinimide bromination of 4(5)-nitro-2-methylimidazole according to a previously described procedure (Salgado-Zamora et al. 1999). Compound (II) was obtained by cine nucleophilic substitution of nitro group from 1,4-dinitro-2-methylimidazole (Suwiński & Świerczek, 1998).

Refinement top

In (I), H atoms were placed in ideal positions and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) set at 1.2 (NH) and 1.3 (CH) times Ueq of their carrier atoms. In (II), methyl H atoms were again treated as riding, as in (I). The remaining H atom was refined freely.

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.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
