The title compounds, C18H22Cl2N2O2 and C20H28N2O2, respectively, are isomorphous. The mol­ecules lie at general positions in the unit cell. In each structure, chemically equivalent but crystallographically inequivalent amine N atoms exhibit different degrees of pyramidalization. The structures exhibit weak N—H...N hydrogen bonding, which is influenced by the differences in hybridization around the amine N atoms. The torsion angles across the bi­phenyl linkage for the two compounds are 67.2 (2) and 68.3 (3)°.

Colorants based on non-mutagenic highly twisted benzidine congeners are expected to be more soluble in organic solvents than the planar derivatives, and produce different color gamuts (Hinks et al., 2000, 2001; Sokolowska et al., 2001). The variety of colors obtained is due to varying degrees of delocalization in the conjugated π system and can be of considerable commercial importance. We have previously reported the structure of 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidene (El-Shafei et al., 2003), which has a negligible twist about the biphenyl linkage. We undertook the X-ray structural investigation of two 2,2'-substituted dipropoxybenzidines to investigate the structural changes induced by the steric hindrance caused by the substituted ortho positions. In this paper, we report the structures of two isomorphous 2,2'-substituted benzidines, 2,2'-dichloro-5,5'-dipropoxybenzidine, (I), and 2,2'-dimethyl-5,5'-dipropoxybenzidine, (II). \sch

Views of (I) and (II), with their atom-labelling schemes, are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. Selected bond lengths and angles are shown in Tables 1 and 2. The molecules lie on general positions in the unit cell. As expected, both diamines show appreciable twist across the biphenyl linkage. The C2—C1—C1'-C2' torsion angles are 67.2 (2)° in (I) and 68.3 (3)° in (II). According to the rules stated by Kitaigorodskii (1965, 1973), chloro-methyl exchange does not change the crystal structure, since the two substituents have nearly the same volume (Cl 20 and Me 24 Å3). As this exchange rule appears to be active in the structures of (I) and (II), it is not surprising that the values of the torsion angles across the biphenyl linkage are similar. In addition, because (I) and (II) are isomorphous, the `chloro effect' cannot be considered an important packing interaction in (I). It is interesting to note, however, that 2,2'-dichlorobenzidine (Smare, 1948) and 2,2'-dimethylbenzidine (Fowweather, 1952) are not isomorphous, crystallize with different site symmetries and have appreciably different torsion angles across the biphenyl linkage.

In (I), the C4—N1 bond is significantly shorter than the C4'-N1' bond and this is consistent with delocalization of the lone pair on N1 into the aromatic π system. The same numeric trend is observed in (II), but the greater standard uncertainties associated with those bond lengths preclude making a definitive statement. It is interesting to note that the difference in hybridization between atoms N1 and N1' is also manifest in their respective hydrogen-bonding properties (see below).

The structures of (I) and (II) show a number of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds. These have been tabulated on Tables 2 and 4, respectively, where the geometries are based on N—H bond lengths which have been normalized to 1.01 Å. *FOOTNOTE[The normalized N—H length was obtained by searching the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002) for structures obtained by single-crystal neutron diffraction at 100 K or lower of compounds containing aryl-bound amino groups, and taking the mean of the N—H lengths.]*ENDFOOTNOTE As with the structure of 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidine, the present two structures show intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the n-propoxyl O atom and one of the amino H atoms. Unlike the structure of 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidine, these structures show no N—H···π interactions. However, (I) and (II) show a number of long-range intermolecular interactions involving the amino H atoms and N acceptor atoms. The individual N—H···N motifs form an R42(8) ring, which lies across a crystallographic centre of symmetry (Fig. 3). The R42(8) pattern acts as a linkage between molecules, which form an extended two-dimensional network parallel to (101).

A structural correlation study (Allen et al., 1995) has indicated that N—H···N contacts with H···N 2.75 Å, which have χN 35° and the N—H···N donor angle > 130°, can be considered true hydrogen bonds. These criteria were used to assess the long-range N—H···N interactions in (I) and (II). The values of χN and τ for (I) and (II), as well as those for 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidene, are listed in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, the N—H···N interactions for (I) and (II) fulfill these criteria. The more highly pyramidalized amino groups (N1') act as hydrogen-bond acceptors, whereas the less pyramidal amino groups (N1) act as hydrogen-bond donors. Both H atoms on N1 participate in the hydrogen bonding. This is an interesting instance where chemically equivalent amino groups differ in their degree of pyramidalization and adopt different crystallographic functions in the structure.

Finally, it is worth pointing out that the structures of (I) and (II), as well as that of 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidine, highlight the competition between N—H···π and long-range (weak) N—H···N hydrogen bonds. Slight changes in the pyramidalization of the N atoms, as evidenced in the χN values, lead to completely different types of intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. The χN values listed in Table 5 vary from a minimum of 36.4° in 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidine to a maximum of 53.4° in (II). The N atoms in 3,3'-dipropoxybenzidine are ineffective as hydrogen-bond acceptors, due to their relatively small degree of pyramidalization, and consequently the N—H donors use the aromatic π clouds as acceptors. In contrast, the more highly pyramidalized N atoms in (I) and (II) make marginally acceptable hydrogen-bond acceptors, and the crystal packing takes advantage of this greater basicity.

Experimental top

Benzidine analogs (I) and (II) were prepared as previously reported by Hinks et al. (2000). Suitable single crystals were produced by dissolving (I) (0.45 g) in ethanol (40 ml) and (II) (0.4 g) in methanol (40 ml), stirring at the boiling point for 2 min, filtering while hot into an Erlenmeyer flask, and covering the flask opening with perforated Parafilm. The filtrates were then allowed to cool slowly and stand undisturbed for 5 d.

Experimental. The solutions were checked after 3 d to monitor crystal growth. Appropriate single crystals of (I) and (II) were selected for X-ray analysis by examining them under a microscope.

The samples were mounted on the end of a glass fiber using a small amount of silicone grease and transferred to the diffractometer. The sample was maintained at a temperature of 148 K using a nitrogen cold stream. All X-ray measurements were made on an Enraf–Nonius CAD-4 MACH diffractometer. The unit-cell dimensions were determined by a fit of 25 well centered reflections and their Friedel pairs, with an angular range of 32° [for (II)] and 34° [for (I)] < 2θ < 36°. A quadrant of unique data was collected using the ω scan mode in a non-bisecting geometry. The adoption of a non-bisecting scan mode was accomplished by offsetting ψ by 20° for each data point collected. This was done to minimize the interaction of the goniometer head with the cold stream. Three standard reflections were measured every 4800 s of X-ray exposure time. Scaling the data was accomplished using a five-point smoothed curved routine fit to the intensity check reflections. The intensity data were corrected for Lorentz and polarization effects. No absorption correction was made.
