The structures of 3,5-bis[4-(diethylamino)benzylidene]-1-methyl-4-piperidone, C28H37N3O, (I), and 3,5-bis[4-(diethylamino)cinnamylidene]-1-methyl-4-piperidone, C32H41N3O, (II), have been characterized. Because of conjugation between donor and acceptor parts, the central heterocycles (including the carbonyl group) in (I) and (II) are flattened and exhibit a `sofa' conformation, with a deviation of the N atom from the planar fragment. The dihedral angles between the planar part of the heterocycle and the two almost flat fragments that include a phenyl ring and bridging atoms are 23.2 (1) and 11.2 (1)° in (I), and 11.8 (1) and 8.7 (2)° in (II). One- and two-photon absorption of light and the fluorescence of (I) and (II) have also been characterized.

Compounds (I) and (II) were obtained according to literature procedures (Dimmock et al., 1992a). The precipitates were isolated and recrystallized from tetrahydrofurane [m.p. 472 K and yield 76% for (I), and m.p. 449 K and yield 71% for (II)]. Crystals were obtained by isothermic evaporation of ethanol solutions of (I) and (II).
Data collection: Enraf–Nonius CAD-4 (Enraf–Nonuis, 1989) for (I); SMART (Bruker, 1998) for (II). Cell refinement: Enraf–Nonius CAD-4 for (I); SMART for (II). Data reduction: SHELXTL-Plus (Sheldrick, 1994) for (I); SAINT (Bruker, 1998) for (II). For both compounds, program(s) used to solve structure: SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1990); program(s) used to refine structure: SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997). Molecular graphics: SHELXTL-Plus for (I); SHELXTL (Bruker, 1998) for (II). Software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97 for (I); SHELXTL for (II).

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 > 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. All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H distances of 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms, 0.97 Å for CH2 and 0.96 Å for CH3 groups. |

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 > 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. All disordered C-atoms of diethylamino groups were refined anisotropically with constrained distances: C—N (1.450 Å) and C—C (1.520 Å), and with e.s.d.'s 0.007 Å. All H atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding model with C—H distances of 0.95 Å for aromatic H atoms, 0.99 Å for CH2 and 0.98 Å for CH3 groups. |

In the course of an investigation of non-linear optical organic compounds, in particular, those with two-photon absorption (TPA) properties, several compounds with the general structure D—π—A—π—D were synthesized. The structure, TPA properties and fluorescence activities of two of these compounds have been characterized. Comparison of these structures with analogous compounds found in the literature has shown that their molecules are very similar to the thoroughly investigated group of compounds used as anticancer agents (Jia et al., 1988; Jia et al., 1989; Dimmock et al., 1992a; Dimmock et al., 1992b; Dimmock et al., 1994a; Dimmock et al., 1994b; Dimmock et al., 2001). The combination of these two remarkable features suggests the prospect of their application as agents for localization of cancer cells with two-photon exited fluorescence and as potential agents for photodynamic treatment of cancer.
We describe here the synthesis, structure and properties of 3,5-bis(4'-diethylaminophenylidene)-1-methyl-4-piperidone, (I) (Fig. 1), and 3,5-bis(4'-diethylaminocinnamylidene)-1-methyl-4-piperidone, (II) (Fig. 2), which contain two diethylaminophenyl donor groups connected to a central acceptor 1-methylpiperidone ring via conjugated bridges of different lengths.
In both compounds, the central heterocycle adopts a `sofa' conformation (one atom deviates from the plane, which includes five other atoms). The mean deviation of atoms C2–C6 from the mean-square plane of these five atoms in (I) is 0.030 (1) Å, while the deviation of atom N1 from this plane is −0.724 (1) Å. In (II), the corresponding deviations are 0.015 (2) Å (C2–C6) and 0.681 (2) Å (N1). The positions of atoms C2–C6 in flattened fragments in (I) and (II) are a result of conjugation in the dienone fragments with donor groups. Atom N1 in the piperidone ring has a pyramidal coordination, with the sum of the bond angles equal to 331.1 (2)° for (I) and 330.8 (2)° for (II). In both compounds, the methyl group on atom N1 occupies an equatorial position. The bond-length distribution in the π-conjugated bridges definitely shows an alternation of single C—C and double C═C bond lengths (Tables 1 and 2) with standard values (Allen et al., 1987).
Both (I) and (II) can be formally divided into three almost planar fragments (see Scheme); the first includes the planar part of acceptor heterocycle A, while the second, B, and third, C, include almost planar fragments that consist of a Ph ring and bridging atoms. In (I), the dihedral angles between rings A and B, and between rings A and C, are 23.2 (1) and 11.2 (1)° respectively. The corresponding angles in (II) are 11.8 (1) (for A/B) and 8.7 (2)° (for A/C). Thus the molecule of (I) is slightly less planar than that of (II). This might be related to the presence in (I) of short intramolecular H2A···H24A and H6B···H13A contacts, with distances of 2.10 and 2.20 Å, respectively, that are somewhat shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii of the H atoms (Rowlend & Taylor, 1996).
In both compounds, one of the diethylamine substituents is disordered. In the molecule of (I), only one ethyl branch of this substituent is disordered, and occupancy refinement suggests a 2:1 ratio of atoms C25/C25A to C26/C26A. In (II), two branches of one diethylamine substituent are disordered, with a relative occupancy of 1:1 for atoms C29–C32 and C29A–C32A. According to the literature, such an effect is common for many molecules bearing a diethylamine group (Suchod & Baldeck, 1995; Kliegel et al., 1998).
Molecules in the crystal of (I) are organized in layers normal to the (1 0 − 4) direction, and within each layer, molecules are packed in a parquet-like manner (Fig. 3). In (II), all long molecular axes are parallel to the crystallographic c axis (Fig. 4). On the other hand, the relative orientations of the mean molecular planes are different; in the environment of a reference molecule, three neighboring molecules are approximately parallel and four molecules are approximately perpendicular to the reference molecule (Fig. 5).
Compound (I) demonstrated a relatively strong fluorescence, which is yellow in color, while being pumped with IR radiation. The coefficient of the two-photon absorption and the molecular cross section of TPA are 3.9 (1) cm GW_1 and 1490 (50) x 10−50 cm4 s photon−1 molecule−1. Compound (II) produced a weaker fluorescence. The TPA coefficient for (II) is 6.6 (2) cm GW−1 and the TPA cross section is 2550 (70) x 10−50 cm4 s photon−1 molecule−1. For both synthesized compounds, the TPA cross sections are one order of magnitude greater than those of Rhodamine B (Xu & Webb, 1996), the conventional dye used as a benchmark in evaluation of the efficiency of TPA absorbers. Detailed results of spectral properties and the structure–properties relations of these compounds will be published elsewhere. The present results indicate that the synthesized compounds can be potentially used as optical limiters and two-photon fluorescent labels in microscopy and bioresearch.
