(Received 13 July 2004; accepted 26 July 2004; online 21 August 2004)

Molecules of 2-nitro­benz­aldehyde hydrazone, C7H7N3O2, where Z′ = 2, are linked by two N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds into isolated dimers, whereas in the isomeric 3-nitro­benz­aldehyde hydrazone, where Z′ = 1, the mol­ecules are linked by one N—H⋯O hydrogen bond and one N—H⋯N hydrogen bond into a three-dimensional framework structure.

Comment

We report here the structures of the isomeric title compounds, 2-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone, (I[link]) (Fig. 1[link]), and 3-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone, (II[link]) (Fig. 2[link]), and compare their supramolecular structures with that of the further isomer 4-­nitro­benz­aldehyde hydrazone, (III[link]), which was reported recently (Glidewell et al., 2004[Glidewell, C., Low, J. N., Skakle, J. M. S. & Wardell, J. L. (2004). Acta Cryst. C60, o33-o34.]).

[Scheme 1]

All three isomers crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups with unit cells having short a dimensions [in (III[link]), a = 3.7070 (2) Å in space group Pc], and in all three isomers the mol­ecules are essentially planar, with the E configuration at the C=N double bond. The bond lengths and angles are all normal for their types (Allen et al., 1987[Allen, F. H., Kennard, O., Watson, D. G., Brammer, L., Orpen, A. G. & Taylor, R. (1987). J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 2, pp. S1-19.]). However, the patterns of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds are all different, with N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds in (I[link]), N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in (III[link]), and both N—H⋯N and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in (II[link]). Moreover, the dimensionality of the resulting supramolecular structures is different for all three isomers, being finite (zero-dimensional) in (I[link]), three-dimensional in (II[link]) and two-dimensional in (III[link]).

In compound (I[link]), the mol­ecules are linked by two independent N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds (Table 1[link]) to form an R22(6) (Bernstein et al., 1995[Bernstein, J., Davis, R. E., Shimoni, L. & Chang, N.-L. (1995). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. Engl. 34, 1555-1573.]) dimer (Fig. 1[link]). The marked differences in the dimensions of the two hydrogen bonds are sufficient to preclude the possibility of any additional symmetry. There are four of these dimeric units in each unit cell, but there are no direction-specific interactions between these units. In view of the excess of potential hydrogen-bond acceptors in this system, in the form of the nitro-group O atoms, the non-participation in the hydrogen bonding of half of the N—H bonds is unexpected.

The mol­ecules of compound (II[link]) (Fig. 2[link]) are linked by two hydrogen bonds, one each of the N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N types (Table 2[link]), into a three-dimensional framework structure, the formation of which is most readily analysed in terms of three distinct one-dimensional substructures. Two of these substructures each utilize just one of the hydrogen bonds, whereas the third utilizes both hydrogen bonds. In the first of the substructures utilizing only one hydrogen bond, atom N12 in the mol­ecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H12A, to nitro atom O31 in the mol­ecule at ([{1 \over 2}] − x, 1 − y, [{1 \over 2}] + z), so forming a C(9) chain running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along ([{1 \over 4}], [{1 \over 2}], z) (Fig. 3[link]). In the second substructure of this type, atom N12 at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H12B, to atom N12 in the mol­ecule at (x − [{1 \over 2}], [{3 \over 2}] − y, 1 − z), so forming a C(2) chain parallel to the [100] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (x, [{3 \over 4}], [{1 \over 2}]) (Fig. 4[link]).

The third one-dimensional substructure in (II[link]) contains alternating N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds. Atom N12 in the mol­ecule at ([{1 \over 2}] − x, 1 − y, [{1 \over 2}] + z) acts as donor, via atom H12B, to atom N12 in the mol­ecule at (1 − x, y − [{1 \over 2}], [{3 \over 2}] − z), and atom N12 in this mol­ecule acts as donor, via atom H12A, to nitro atom O31 in the mol­ecule at ([{1 \over 2}] + x, [{1 \over 2}] − y, 1 − z). Finally, atom N12 at ([{1 \over 2}] + x, [{1 \over 2}] − y, 1 − z) acts as donor, via atom H12B, to atom N12 in the mol­ecule at (x, y − 1, z). This combination of the two hydrogen bonds thus generates a C22(11) chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 5[link]).

The pairwise combination of these one-dimensional substructures generates two-dimensional substructures. For example, the combination of the [010] and [001] chains generates a (100) sheet (Fig. 6[link]) in the form of a (6,3)-net (Batten & Robson, 1998[Batten, S. R. & Robson, R. (1998). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 37, 1460-1494.]) built from a single type of R66(40) ring, and the formation of this net in (II[link]) may be contrasted with the formation of a (4,4)-net parallel to (102) in compound (III[link]). The combination of all three of the one-dimensional motifs in (II[link]) suffices to generate a single three-dimensional framework.

Isomers (I[link])–(III[link]) can all be regarded as chain-extended analogues of the simple isomeric nitro­anilines (IV[link])–(VI[link]), and it is of interest to compare the supramolecular structures of (I[link])–(III[link]) with their aniline analogues. In (IV[link]), where Z′ = 2 in space group P21/n (Dhaneshwar et al., 1978[Dhaneshwar, N. N., Tavale, S. S. & Pant, L. M. (1978). Acta Cryst. B34, 2507-2509.]), the mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into simple C22(12) chains. In (V[link]) (Ploug-Sørensen & Andersen, 1986[Ploug-Sørensen, G. & Andersen, E. K. (1986). Acta Cryst. C42, 1813-1815.]), a combination of N—H⋯O and N—H⋯N hydrogen bonds generates a (4,4)-net of R44(18) rings, while in (VI[link]) (Tonogaki et al., 1993[Tonogaki, M., Kawata, T., Ohba, S., Iwata, Y. & Shibuya, I. (1993). Acta Cryst. B49, 1031-1039.]), the mol­ecules are linked by two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into (4,4)-nets of R44(22) rings. Hence, the patterns of the hydrogen bonds employed, as well as the resulting supramolecular structures, are different in each of (IV[link])–(VI[link]).

Much effort continues to be expended in attempts to predict the crystal structures of simple organic compounds (Lommerse et al., 2000[Lommerse, J. P. M., Motherwell, W. D. S., Ammon, H. L., Dunitz, J. D., Gavezzotti, A., Hofmann, D. W. M., Leusen, F. J. J., Mooij, W. T. M., Price, S. L., Schweizer, B., Schmidt, M. U., van Eijck, B. P., Verwer, P. & Williams, D. E. (2000). Acta Cryst. B56, 697-714.]; Motherwell et al., 2002[Motherwell, W. D. S., Ammon, H. L., Dunitz, J. D., Dzyabchenko, A., Erk, P., Gavezzotti, A., Hofmann, D. W. M., Leusen, F. J. J., Lommerse, J. P. M., Mooij, W. T. M., Price, S. L., Schweizer, B., Schmidt, M. U., van Eijck, B. P., Verwer, P. & Williams, D. E. (2002). Acta Cryst. B58, 647-761.]). Variations in supramolecular aggregation behaviour within a series of isomeric compounds, such as those of (I[link])–(III[link]) described here or of (IV[link])–(VI[link]), provide a keen test of computational methods for crystal structure prediction. The accurate prediction of behaviour, especially the correct prediction of space groups and the particular hydrogen bonds involved within such series of isomeric species, would generate real confidence in the efficacy of the predictive methods employed.

Experimental

Compounds (I[link]) and (II[link]) were prepared by heating under reflux for 1 h a solution of the appropriate nitro­benz­aldehyde (5 g) and hydrazine hydrate (10 g) in ethanol (50 ml). After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixtures were diluted with water (50 ml) and then extracted with CHCl3. These extracts were dried and evaporated, and the resulting solids were recrystallized from ethanol to yield (I[link]) (m.p. 348–349 K) and (II[link]) (m.p. 381–383 K). Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were selected directly from the prepared samples.

For each of compounds (I[link]) and (II[link]), the space group P212121 was uniquely assigned from the systematic absences. All H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and subsequently treated as riding. H atoms bonded to N atoms were allowed to ride at the N—H distances identified from the difference maps, namely 0.95 Å in (I[link]) and 0.88 Å in (II[link]), with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). H atoms bonded to C atoms were constrained to C—H distances of 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). In the absence of significant anomalous dispersion, the values of the Flack (1983[Flack, H. D. (1983). Acta Cryst. A39, 876-881.]) parameters were both indeterminate (Flack & Bernardinelli, 2000[Flack, H. D. & Bernardinelli, G. (2000). J. Appl. Cryst. 33, 1143-1148.]), and hence the correct absolute configuration for the crystals under study could not be established (Jones, 1986[Jones, P. G. (1986). Acta Cryst. A42, 57.]), although this has no chemical significance. Accordingly, Friedel-equivalent reflections were merged prior to the final refinements for both (I[link]) and (II[link]).

We report here the structures of the isomeric title compounds, (I) and (II) (Figs 1 and 2), and we compare their supramolecular structures with that of the further isomer 4-nitrobenzaldehyde hydrazone, (III), which was reported recently (Glidewell et al., 2004). \sch

All three isomers crystallize in non-centrosymmetric space groups with unit cells having short a dimensions [in (III), a = 3.7070 (2) Å in space group Pc], and in all three isomers the molecules are essentially planar, with the E configuration at the C═N double bond. The bond lengths and angles are all normal for their types (Allen et al., 1987). However, the patterns of the intermolecular hydrogen bonds are all different, with N—H···N hydrogen bonds in (I), N—H···O hydrogen bonds in (III), and both N—H···N and N—H···O hydrogen bonds in (II). Moreover, the dimensionality of the resulting supramolecular structure is different for all three isomers, being finite (zero-dimensional) in (I), three-dimensional in (II) and two-dimensional in (III).

In compound (I), the molecules are linked by two independent N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1) to form an R22(6) (Bernstein et al., 1995) dimer (Fig. 1). The marked difference in the dimensions of the two hydrogen bonds is sufficient to preclude the possibility of any additional symmetry. There are four of these dimeric units in each unit cell, but there are no direction-specific interactions between these units. In view of the excess of potential hydrogen-bond acceptors in this system, in the form of the nitro-group O atoms, the non-participation in the hydrogen bonding of half of the N—H bonds is unexpected.

The molecules of compound (II) (Fig. 2) are linked by two hydrogen bonds, one each of N—H···O and N—H···N types (Table 2), into a three-dimensional framework structure, the formation of which is most readily analysed in terms of three distinct one-dimensional sub-structures. Two of these sub-structures each utilize just one of the hydrogen bonds, whereas the third utilizes both hydrogen bonds. In the first of the sub-structures utilizing only one hydrogen bond, atom N12 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H12A, to nitro atom O31 in the molecule at (1/2 − x, 1 − y, 1/2 + z), so forming a C(9) chain running parallel to the [001] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (1/4, 1/2, z) (Fig. 3). In the second sub-structure of this type, atom N12 at (x, y, z) acts as hydrogen-bond donor, via atom H12B, to atom N12 in the molecule at (x − 1/2, 3/2 − y, 1 − z), so forming a C(2) chain parallel to the [100] direction and generated by the 21 screw axis along (x, 3/4, 1/2) (Fig. 4).

The third one-dimensional sub-structure in (II) contains alternating N—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen bonds. Atom N12 in the molecule at (1/2 − x, 1 − y, 1/2 + z) acts as donor, via atom H12B, to atom N12 in the molecule at (1 − x, y − 1/2, 3/2 − z), and atom N12 in this molecule acts as donor, via atom H12A, to nitro atom O31 in the molecule at (1/2 + x, 1/2 − y, 1 − z). Finally, atom N12 at (1/2 + x, 1/2 − y, 1 − z) acts as donor, via atom H12B, to N12 in the molecule at (x, y − 1, z). This combination of the two hydrogen bonds thus generates a C22(11) chain running parallel to the [010] direction (Fig. 5).

The pairwise combination of these one-dimensional sub-structures generates two-dimensional sub-structures. For example, the combination of the [010] and [001] chains generates a (100) sheet (Fig. 6) in the form of a (6,3) net (Batten & Robson, 1998) built from a single type of R66(40) ring, and the formation of this net in (II) may be contrasted with the formation of a (4,4) net parallel to (102) in compound (III). The combination of all three of the one-dimensional motifs in (II) suffices to generate a single three-dimensional framework.

The isomers (I)-(III) can all be regarded as chain-extended analogues of the simple isomeric nitroanilines (IV)-(VI), and it is of interest to compare the supramolecular structures of (I)-(III) with their aniline analogues. In (IV), where Z' = 2 in space group P21/n (Dhaneshwar et al., 1978), the molecules are linked by N—H···O hydrogen bonds into simple C22(12) chains. In (V) (Ploug-Sørensen & Andersen, 1986), a combination of N—H···O and N—H···N hydrogen bonds generates a (4,4) net of R44(18) rings, while in (VI) (Tonogaki et al., 1993), the molecules are linked by two N—H···O hydrogen bonds into (4,4) nets of R44(22) rings. Hence the patterns of the hydrogen bonds employed, as well as the resulting supramolecular structures, are different in each of (IV)-(VI).

Much effort continues to be expended in efforts to predict the crystal structures of simple organic compounds (Lommerse et al., 2000; Motherwell et al., 2002). Variations in supramolecular aggregation behaviour within a series of isomeric compounds, such as those of (I)-(III) described here, or of (IV)-(VI), provide a keen test of computational methods for crystal-structure prediction. The accurate prediction of behaviour, especially the correct prediction of space groups and the particular hydrogen bonds involved within such series of isomeric species, would generate real confidence in the efficacy of the predictive methods employed.

Experimental top

Compounds (I) and (II) were prepared by heating under reflux for 1 h a solution of the appropriate nitrobenzaldehyde (5 g) and hydrazine hydrate (10 g) in ethanol (50 ml). After cooling to ambient temperature, the mixtures were diluted with water (50 ml) and then extracted with CHCl3. These extracts were dried and evaporated, and the resulting solids were recrystallized from ethanol to yield (I) (m.p. 348–349 K) and (II) (m.p. 381–383 K). Crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction were selected directly from the prepared samples.

Refinement top

For each of compounds (I) and (II), the space group P212121 was uniquely assigned from the systematic absences. All H atoms were located from difference Fourier maps and subsequently treated as riding. H atoms bonded to N atoms were allowed to ride at the N—H distances identified from the difference maps, namely 0.95 in (I) and 0.88 Å in (II), with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N). H atoms bonded to C atoms were constrained to C—H distances of 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). In the absence of significant anomalous dispersion, the values of the Flack parameters (Flack, 1983) were both indeterminate (Flack & Bernardinelli, 2000), and hence the correct absolute configuration for the crystals under study could not be established (Jones, 1986), although this has no chemical significance. Accordingly, Friedel-equivalent reflections were merged prior to the final refinements for both (I) and (II).

Computing details top

Data collection: COLLECT (Nonius, 1998) for (I); KappaCCD Server Software (Nonius, 1997) for (II). Cell refinement: DENZO (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) and COLLECT for (I); DENZO-SMN (Otwinowski & Minor, 1997) for (II). Data reduction: DENZO and COLLECT for (I); DENZO-SMN for (II). For both compounds, program(s) used to solve structure: OSCAIL (McArdle, 2003) and SHELXS97 (Sheldrick, 1997); program(s) used to refine structure: OSCAIL and SHELXL97 (Sheldrick, 1997); molecular graphics: PLATON (Spek, 2003); software used to prepare material for publication: SHELXL97 and PRPKAPPA (Ferguson, 1999).
