The title compound, C21H15N3O3, crystallizes in two polymorphic forms. In the orthorhombic polymorph, (I), in Fdd2 with Z′ = 1, the molecules lie in general positions, while in the monoclinic polymorph, (II), in C2/c with Z′ = , the molecules lie across twofold rotation axes. In each polymorph, the molecules are linked by a single C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bond, forming chains in polymorph (I) and sheets in (II).
Comment
We report here the molecular and supramolecular structures at 120 K of two polymorphic forms of 1,3,5-triphenyl-1,3,5-perhydrotriazine-2,4,6-trione, the cyclic trimer of phenyl isocyanate, PhNCO. The orthorhombic polymorph, (I) (Fig. 1), crystallizes in Fdd2 with Z′ = 1, and the monoclinic polymorph, (II) (Fig. 2), crystallizes in C2/c, with Z′ = . The molecules in (II) lie across twofold rotation axes, with the reference molecule lying across the axis along (, y, ). The structure of (II) was reported from ambient-temperature data some years ago (Usanmaz, 1979) and it is clear from the cell dimensions and that this earlier structure was of the same phase as (II), thus suggesting that the monoclinic phase does not undergo any temperature-dependent change, at least within the range 120–300 K.
The bond lengths and angles in (I) and (II) (Tables 1 and 3) are very similar, and the distances show evidence of strong bond fixation. Within the heterocyclic rings, the internal bond angles at the N atoms are consistently some 10° larger than the internal angles at the C atoms. In polymorph (II), the heterocyclic ring is slightly puckered. The ring-puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) for the atom sequence N1—C2—N3—C4—N3i—C2i [symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, y, − z] of θ = 90.0 (7)° and φ = 270.0 (6)° indicate a twist-boat ring conformation (Boeyens, 1978), although the puckering amplitude Q is fairly small, at 0.104 (2) Å. The conformations defined by the phenyl rings (Figs. 1 and 2, and Tables 1 and 3) are very similar.
In the ), there are no C—H⋯O or C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and no aromatic π–π stacking interactions. However, the molecules are linked into chains by a single C—H⋯π(arene) interaction (Table 2). Aromatic atom C14 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to phenyl ring C31–C36 in the molecule at ( − x, y − , + z), while atom C14 at ( − x, y − , + z) in turn acts as donor to the C31–C36 ring at (x, y − , + z), so producing a chain running parallel to the [03] direction and generated by the d-glide plane at x = (Fig. 3). There are no direction-specific interactions between adjacent chains.
of (IThe original report (Usanmaz, 1979) on the monoclinic phase, (II), did not identify any direction-specific interactions between the molecules. However, the intermolecular interactions present in (II) are, in fact, very similar to those in orthorhombic phase (I). While C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are all absent, the molecules are linked by a single C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bond (Table 4), but now forming sheets as opposed to the simple chain in (I). The ring containing atom C11, which lies across a twofold rotation axis, acts as a double acceptor of C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds, one on each face. This ring in the reference molecule accepts such hydrogen bonds from atoms C33 at (x − , + y, z − 1) and ( − x, + y, − z), while atoms C33 at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, y, − z) in the reference molecule act as donors to the ring faces at ( − x, y − , − z) and (x − , y − , z − 1), respectively. Thus, with the reference molecule lying across the axis along (, y, ), the donor and acceptor molecules lie across the axes (0, y, ) and (1, y, ), so that each molecule is linked to four others, forming a (01) sheet (Fig. 4).
We have not investigated the relative thermodynamic stability of the two polymorphs. Their densities are almost identical, so that no useful deductions concerning stability (Burger & Ramberger, 1979) can be made here.
Experimental
The orthorhombic polymorph, (I), was obtained as an adventitious product from the attempted preparation of the heterocumulene Ph3P=C=C=O via reaction of Ph3P=CHCOOCH2CH3 with n-butyllithium and excess phenyl isocyanate (m.p. 544–545 K). The monoclinic polymorph, (II), was obtained from a methanol solution containing (I) and uranyl nitrate hexahydrate [m.p. > 550 K; literature m.p. for (II): 553–555 K (Usanmaz, 1979)]. However, similar crystallization from a methanol solution containing mercury(II) chloride gave polymorph (I) rather than polymorph (II).

For polymorph (I), the Fdd2 was uniquely assigned from the For polymorph (II), the permitted C2/c or Cc as possible space groups; C2/c was selected and confirmed by the All H atoms were located from difference maps and then treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). In the absence of significant the Flack (1983) parameter for (I) was indeterminate (Flack & Bernardinelli, 1999, 2000). Accordingly, the Friedel-equivalent reflections were merged prior to the final refinements. It was thus not possible to establish the correct orientation of the structure of (I) relative to the polar-axis direction (Jones, 1986).

We report here the molecular and supramolecular structures at 120 K of two polymorphic forms of 1,3,5-triphenyl-1,3,5-perhydrotriazine-2,4,6-trione, the cyclic trimer of phenyl isocyanate, PhNCO. The orthorhombic polymorph, (I) (Fig. 1), crystallizes in space group Fdd2 with Z' = 1, and the monoclinic polymorph, (II) (Fig. 2), crystallizes in space group C2/c, with Z' = 1/2. The molecules in (II) lie across twofold rotation axes, with the reference molecule lying across the axis along (1/2, y, 1/4). The structure of (II) was reported from ambient-temperature data some years ago (Usanmaz, 1979), and it is clear from the cell dimensions and space group that this earlier structure was of the same phase as (II), thus suggesting that the monoclinic phase does not undergo any temperature-dependent change, at least within the range 120–300 K. \sch
The bond lengths and angles in (I) and (II) (Tables 1 and 3) are very similar, and the distances show evidence of strong bond fixation. Within the heterocyclic rings, the internal bond angles at N are consistently some 10° larger than the internal angles at C. In polymorph (II), the heterocyclic ring is slightly puckered. The ring-puckering parameters (Cremer & Pople, 1975) for the atom sequence N1/C2—C4/N3i/C2i [symmetry code: (i) 1 − x, y, 1/2 − z] of θ = 90.0 (7)° and ϕ = 270.0 (6)° indicate a twist-boat ring conformation (Boeyens, 1978), although the puckering amplitude Q is fairly small, at 0.104 (2) Å. The conformations defined by the phenyl rings (Figs. 1 and 2, and Tables 1 and 3) are very similar.
In the crystal structure of (I), there are no C—H···O or C—H···N hydrogen bonds and no aromatic π–π stacking interactions. However, the molecules are linked into chains by a single C—H···π(arene) interaction (Table 2). The aromatic atom C14 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor to the phenyl ring C31—C36 in the molecule at (5/4 − x, y − 1/4, 3/4 + z), while atom C14 at (5/4 − x, y − 1/4, 3/4 + z) in turn acts as donor to the C31—C36 ring at (x, y − 1/2, 3/2 + z), so producing a chain running parallel to the [013] direction and generated by the d-glide plane at x = 5/8 (Fig. 3). There are no direction-specific interactions between adjacent chains.
The original report (Usanmaz, 1979) on the monoclinic phase, (II), did not identify any direction-specific interactions between the molecules. However, the intermolecular interactions present in (II) are, in fact, very similar to those in the orthorhombic phase, (I). While C—H···O and C—H···N hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions are all absent, the molecules are linked by a single C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bond (Table 4), but now forming sheets as opposed to the simple chain in (I). The ring containing atom C11, which lies across a twofold rotation axis, acts as a double acceptor of C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds, one on each face. This ring in the reference molecule accepts such hydrogen bonds from atoms C33 at (x − 1/2, 1/2 + y, z − 1) and (3/2 − x, 1/2 + y, 3/2 − z), while the atoms C33 at (x, y, z) and (1 − x, y, 1/2 − z) in the reference molecule act as donors to the ring faces at (3/2 − x, y − 1/2, 3/2 − z) and (x − 1/2, y − 1/2, z − 1), respectively. Thus, with the reference molecule lying across the axis along (1/2, y, 1/4), the donor and acceptor molecules lie across across the axes (0, y, −3/4) and (1, y, 5/4), so that each molecule is linked to four others forming a (201) sheet (Fig. 4).
We have not investigated the relative thermodynamic stability of the two polymorphs. Their densities are almost identical, so that no useful deductions concerning stability (Burger & Ramberger, 1979) can be made here.
