Comment top

The objective of our research were measurements and a theoretical interpretation of the polarized IR–spectra of the hydrogen bond in N–(m–tolyl)thioacetamide crystals. The spectral studies were preceded by determination of the crystal X–ray structure of this compound. We interpret spectroscopic effects, which are observed in the frequency ranges of the proton and deuteron stretching vibrations for the associated molecules, see: Flakus & Miros, 2001; Flakus & Pyzik, 2006; Flakus et al. (2002, 2003, 2007).

The structure of N–(m–tolyl)thioacetamide with the atomic numbering scheme is presented on Fig. 1. The molecules of (I) form an intermolecular N—H···S hydrogen bonds. These intermolecular hydrogen bonds link the molecules of N–(m–tolyl)thioacetamide giving infinite zigzag chains parallel to the c axis (Fig. 2). The values of the H···S (2.520 (16) Å) and N···S (3.3233 (14) Å) distances and N—H···S (173.0 (15)°) angle characterize this bond as a weak hydrogen bond: Desiraju & Steiner, (1999). The strength of the hydrogen bond in (I) was investigated by IR. The band of the isolated N—H stretching vibration, νN—H, is located in the 3200–2850 cm-1 frequency range.

Experimental top

Phosphorus pentasulfide (0.31 g, 0.1 mol) was added small portions to m–acetotoluidide (1.03 g, 0.5 mol) in toluene (3.45 ml) at 343–353 K with stirring. The reaction mixture was then brought to reflux for 2.5 h. After heating the hot reaction mixture was decanted and the solution was concentrated to give a yellow precipitate. The precipitate was dissolved in ethanol and the solution was left for crystallization at room temperature. After one month, the deposited yellow crystals were collected and recrystallized from acetone and petroleum ether, giving needle–shaped crystals of quality suitable for X–ray measurement. Yeld: 0.78 g (69.57%). M.p. 316–317 K [literature m.p. 315–316 K, see: Hopkins & Hunter (1942)].

The IR–spectra of (I) crystals were measured by a transmission method, with the help of the FT–IR Nicolet Magna spectrometer, for two different, mutually perpendicular polarizations of IR–beam. The spectra were measured for the νN—H and νN—D band frequency ranges at temperatures of 298 and 77 K.

Refinement top

The amide H atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined freely; The hydrogen atoms attached on C atoms were introduced in geometrically idealized positions and refined with an appropriate riding model, with C—H = 0.95 Å (for aromatic C) or 0.98 Å (for methyl C). Their isotropic displacement parameters were constrained with Uiso(H) values of 1.2Ueq (C) for H atoms in CH groups and 1.5Ueq(C) for the methyl H atoms.

Special details top

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 > 2σ(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.
