The crystal structure of the title compound, C32H32N2, reveals a dimeric association of α-diimine units into centrosymmetric dimers via inter­molecular non-classical C—H...N hydrogen bonds. There is also intra­molecular non-classical C—H...N bonding between the methyl groups and the N atoms of the α-diimine unit. In addition, the crystal packing indicates π–π inter­actions between acenaphthyl­ene rings [3.888 (7) Å]. The deviation from a planar arrangement of the mol­ecule can be attributed to both inter- and intra­molecular non-classical hydrogen bonding.

Comment top

The present report describes the main structural features of a novel α-diimine, as given in Scheme 1 and Figure 1. This molecule is bis(N-2-tert-butylphenyl)imineacenaphthene, in which the two tert-butyl substituents on the aromatic rings are cis to each other.

In addition, another strong feature of this molecular structure is the presence of molecular interactions via non-classical hydrogen bonds (Jeffrey et al., 1985), represented as C—H···N. Each α-diimine unit presents two intermolecular interactions, generating a dimeric structure with an inversion center, as shown in Figure 2. The geometric parameters of all non-classical interactions are listed in Table 1.

The dimers are related by translation along the crystallographic axis a. The cell packing shows that the dimers present π-π interactions between the acenaphthenequine rings [C4=C9···C9ii=C4ii=3.880 (7) Å; symmetry code: (ii) 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z] (Fig. 3), in agreement with results found in the literature (Aoki & Salam, 2001).

Lastly, it is believed that both the inter- as well as the intramolecular interactions are partly responsible for the large deviation of planarity shown between the aromatic rings and the tert-butyl substituents, C13—C14—C15—C16—C17—C18 (r.m.s. = 0.0118) and C19—C20—C21—C22—C23—C24 (r.m.s. = 0.0030), of 28.84 (7)°. In addition, the torsion angles formed by the atoms C5—C1—N1—C13, of -7.7 (4)°, and C3—C2—N2—C19, of 10.8 (4)°, are also ascribed to the aforementioned deviation.

Experimental top

0.5465 g (3 mmole) of acenaphthenequinone was placed in a 100 ml round bottom flask, as well as 0.935 ml (6 mmole) of 2-tert-butylaniline, with MeOH (30 ml) as the solvent and glacial acetic acid as catalyst (5 drops). The flask was connected to a Liebig condenser and the reaction mixture was kept under reflux for 3 h, after which heating was stopped. After cooling to room temperature, a red solid precipitated. The mixture was filtered and the solid washed with MeOH (20 ml). The red precipitate was recrystallized from MeOH, giving small red crystals suitable for X ray crystallography. (Yield: 85%, Melting point: 485 K)

Refinement top

The hydrogen atoms of phenyl rings and acenaphthene ring were fixed geometrically to a distance 0.93 Å; the carbon rings and its respective atoms have been dealt with Uiso(H) 1.2 Ueq (Csp2). The hydrogen atom H23 was located in the Fourier map and refined. The hydrogen atoms of methyl group were fixed geometrically to a distance 0.96 Å; the carbon methyl and its respective atoms have been dealt with Uiso(H) 1.5 Ueq (Csp3).

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.
