2, (I), and 2,5-dimethylphenyl acridine-9-carboxylate, C
22H
17NO
2, (II), form triclinic and monoclinic crystals, respectively. Related by a centre of symmetry, adjacent molecules of (I) are linked in the lattice
via a network of C—H
π and non-specific dispersive interactions. As a result, acridine moieties and independent phenyl moieties of (I) are parallel in the lattice. The molecules of (II), arranged in a `head-to-tail' manner and related by a centre of symmetry, form pairs stabilized
via C—H
π interactions. These are linked in the crystal
via dispersive interactions. Acridine and independent phenyl moieties lie parallel within the pairs, while adjacent pairs are perpendicular, forming a herring-bone pattern.

Compounds (I) and (II) were synthesized by conversion of commercially available acridine-9-carboxylic acid to acid chloride, and by the reaction of the latter with 2-ethylphenol for (I) or 2,5-dimethylphenol for (II) (Sato, 1996). The crude products were purified chromatographically (SiO2, cyclohexane/ethyl acetate, 3:2 (v/v). Elemental analyses (% found/calculated): for (I): C 81.07/80.71, H 5.07/5.23, N 4.34/4.28; for (II): C 80.49/80.71, H 5.09/5.23, N 4.22/4.28. In both cases, pale-yellow crystals suitable for X-ray investigations were grown from cyclohexane [m.p. 387–389 K for (I) and 452–454 K for (II)].
All H atoms were placed geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H distances of 0.96 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Please check added text.

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. |

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. |

Phenyl esters of acridine-9-carboxylic acids are precursors of practically important chemi-luminescent indicators and chemi-luminogenic fragments of chemi-luminescent labels (Dodeigne et al., 2000; Zomer & Jacquemijns, 2001). This is because 9-carboxy-10-methylacridinium phenyl esters react efficiently with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline media, which leads to electronically excited 10-methyl-9-acridinones emitting radiation (Rak et al., 1999). Among other things, this effect is utilized in quantitative assays of macromolecules present in living matter, that is, in immunological, medical, environmental and biochemical analyses (Adamczyk et al., 1999; Dodeigne et al., 2000; Razawi & McCapra, 2002; Smith et al., 2000; Zomer & Jacquemijns, 2001). Despite the long-standing interest shown in this group of compounds, there is only one publication to date -our own - on the crystallography of 2-methylphenyl 2-methoxyacridine-9-carboxylate (Meszko et al., 2002). It is thus important to extend investigations of further representatives of this group, especially since information on the structure, crystal packing and other features may help in the design of very stable compounds that are nevertheless highly reactive towards oxidizing agents (hydrogen peroxide). This paper presents the crystal structure of two isomers, (I) and (II), alkyl-substituted in the phenyl ester group, of phenylacridine-9-carboxylate.
The acridine and phenyl moieties in (I), with average deviations from planarity of 0.0123 and 0.0033 Å, respectively, are oriented at an angle of 62.1 (2)° (defined as γ, the angle between the mean planes delineated by all the non-H atoms of the acridine and phenyl nuclei; Fig. 1, Table 1). The carboxyl group is twisted relative to the acridine skeleton, at an angle of 67.3 (2)° (defined as δ, the angle between the mean planes delineated by all the non-H atoms of the acridine nucleus and atoms C15, O16 and O17).
In the crystalline phase, adjacent molecules of (I), related by a centre of symmetry, are linked via a network of C—H···π interactions and non-specific dispersive interactions (Fig. 2, Table 2). As a result, the acridine moieties and independent phenyl moieties are parallel in the lattice.
The planes of the acridine and phenyl moieties in (II), with average deviations from planarity of 0.0013 and 0.0056 Å, respectively, have a γ angle of 35.7 (2)° (Fig.3, Table 3). The carboxyl group is twisted relative to the acridine skeleton, with a δ angle of 68.1 (2)°.
Arranged in a `head-to-tail' manner, the molecules of (II) form pairs stabilized through C—H···π interactions (Table 4). These pairs of molecules, related by a centre of symmetry, are linked in the crystal via dispersive interactions. The acridine moieties and independent phenyl moieties within the pairs are parallel, while adjacent pairs, which form a herring-bone pattern in the crystal, lie perpendicular to each other (Fig. 4).
