The title compound, C21H24N3O4P, is a self-complementary hydrogen-bond (HB) building unit, with (P=)O as the primary HB acceptor and N-H as the HB donor. Each of the four crystallographically distinct and nearly parallel mol­ecules of the unit cell has a net dipole moment along the P=O bond direction and all of the dipoles are directed in the same general crystallographic direction. Head-to-tail N-H...O=P double-HB strands stack adjacent mol­ecules into one-dimensional infinite polar columns. Each polar column is a 21 helix and all columns are essentially parallel, resulting in polar order throughout the entire crystal.

Comment top

Realising polar order in organic systems has long been a goal in organic and material chemistry, due to applications that utilize non-linear optics, or piezo-, ferro- and pyroelectricity (Glaser & Kaszynski, 2001). Approaches to polar organic materials include the self-assembly of host–guest molecules (Hulliger et al., 1997), electric field poling of polymer films (Burland et al., 1994), Langmuir–Blodgett film multilayers (Ashwell, 1999) and grafted polymer brushes (Jaworek et al., 1998). However, spontaneous polar self-assembly potentially provides a pathway to the creation of polar order in thin organic films with a minimum number of processing steps (Stupp et al., 1997). By embracing supramolecular synthons as the critical design element for generating new organic materials (Desiraju, 1995), our efforts (Dyer et al., 2003) and those of others (Bushey et al., 2004; Facchetti et al., 2004) utilize hydrogen bond (HB) forces to direct spontaneous polar self-assembly, which requires the design of non-centrosymmetric building blocks with HB donors and acceptors incorporated in a single molecule. Such designed intermolecular HB interactions should favour head-to-tail molecular stacking and generate sheets, columns and three-dimensional polar domains. Nevertheless, nature's propensity for centrosymmetric aggregation of molecular dipole moments looms as a challenge for the design of polar order in organic materials (Hollingsworth, 2002). This communication details the crystal structure of N,N',N''-tris(p-methoxyphenyl)phosphoric triamide, (I), which represents one of our attempts at polar order through HB-directed spontaneous polar assembly. N,N',N''-tris(p-methyphenyl)phosphoric triamide has long been known (Audrieth & Toy, 1942). However, structural elucidation has been hindered by solvent inclusion (Cameron et al., 1976). Thus, our work represents the first crystal structure elucidation of an N,N',N''-triarylphosphoric triamide.

The molecule of (I) is composed of three aryloxy units bonded to the P atom via amide linkages, as shown in Fig. 1. Importantly, the amide H atoms should be capable of hydrogen bonding with neighbouring PO bonds in order to bias the orientation and induce polar order. Geometric parameters of interest are listed in Table 1. The P1—O1 bond length in (I) is slightly longer than those in triphenylphosphine oxide [(C6H5)3PO 1.487 Å; Thomas & Hamor, 1993] and tris(tert-butyl)phosphoric triamide [(tBu)NH]3PO 1.474 Å, hereinafter abbreviated as TBPA; Chivers et al., 2003]. This elongation reflects the generation of a more polar P+—O bond. The N3—P1—N1 angle in (I) is in good agreement with the N—P—N' angle (99.5°) in the crystal structure of tris(anilino)phosphine, (C6H5NH)3P, which consists of a trigonal arrangement of aniline groups around a central P atom in a C3 molecular symmetry (Tarassoli et al., 1982). It is noteworthy that both N1—H1 and N3—H3 point away from the P1—O1 bond vector, while N2—H2 is nearly parallel to it, in contrast with the three N—H bonds all directed below the N1—N2—N3 plane in (C6H5NH)3P (Tarassoli et al., 1982). This upward twisting of N2—H2 probably minimizes the molecule dipole moment, a feature also observed in the structure of (C6H5NH)3PSe, a homologue of (I) without HB interactions (Chivers et al., 2003).

Since each molecule of (I) contains both HB donors and acceptors it is not surprising that significant HB interactions occur. Fig. 2 shows that each molecule acts as both donor and acceptor, atoms N1 and N3 acting as H-atom donors to the same atom O1 of an adjacent molecule at (−x, 1 − y, 1/2 + z), and atom N2 twisting to donate its H atom to atom O21 of a second adjacent molecule at (x, y, z − 1). Simultaneously, atom O1 acts as an H-atom acceptor from atoms N1 and N3 of a third molecule at (−x, 1 − y, z − 1/2), and atom O21 accepts an HB from atom N2 of a fourth adjacent molecule at (x, y, 1 + z). Thus, each molecule is hydrogen-bonded to four surrounding molecules. Details of the HB geometry are given in Table 2.

The resultant molecular chain is stacked in a head-to-tail manner and forms a one-dimensional columnar suprastructure parallel to the c axis. Within the column, double-HB strands exist as a result of the N1/N3—O(P) interactions. There is a slight zigzag character to the column, due to the fact that the PO bond is at an angle of 5.23 (5)° to the c axis, and the column is symmetrically disposed about a twofold screw axis. It is important to note that all PO bonds are oriented in the same general direction; thus, the column is polar. Each polar column can be described as a 21 helix. Space-group symmetry generates additional parallel columns (Fig. 3) which are all oriented identically with respect to their polar axes, resulting in polar order and a net dipole moment along the c axis.

When compared with TBPA, the double-HB D···A distances in (I) are much shorter and the HB angles are significantly straighter. This indicates appreciably stronger HB interactions in (I) than in TBPA, the tripodal HB geometry of which is controlled by large steric factors (Chivers et al., 2003).

The N2—H2···O21 interaction seems fairly weak; however, the D—H···A bond is quite linear. A consequence of the upward twisting is that the N2—H2···O21 interaction reinforces the hydrogen-bonded molecular stacking inside a single column, and the upward-twisted phenyl ring encapsulates the double-HB strands inside the columnar core to avoid the formation of interpenetrating HBs. Concurrently, the encapsulation should also decrease the inter-columnar dipole interactions, therefore favouring the formation of polar order. Calculations indicate no intra- or intermolecular ππ or C—H···π(arene) interactions. The polar structure could be a consequence of the helical character of the columnar suprastructure.

Experimental top

Compound (I) was synthesized according to the literature procedure of Audrieth & Toy (1942). Rod-like single crystals of (I) were obtained by slow room-temperature evaporation of a dilute EtOH solution (m.p. 454.8 K). Spectroscopic analysis: RF = 0.30 (95:5, CH2Cl2/CH3OH); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 7.50 (d, J = 9.6 Hz, 1H), 7.10 (d, J = 8.7 Hz, 2H), 6.76 (d, J = 9.0 Hz, 2H), 3.67 (s, 3H); 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3, δ, p.p.m.): 154.00, 136.02, 119.41, 114.75, 55.90.

Refinement top

The three N-bound H atoms were refined isotropically. All other H atoms were treated as riding, with C—H distances ranging from 0.95 to 0.98 Å and with Uiso(H) values equal to 1.5 (methyl H atoms) or 1.2 (phenyl H atoms) times Ueq of the parent atom. The rotational orientations of the methyl H atoms were refined by the circular Fourier method available in SHELXTL (Bruker, 2005). Refinement of the N2 H atom improved the geometry of the N2—H2···O21 hydrogen bond significantly. The correct orientation of the structure with respect to the polar axis (Jones, 1986) in (I) was established from the value of 0.03 (7) for the Flack (1983) parameter.
