The complete molecule of the title compound, C24H22N4O2, is generated by a crystallographic inversion centre located at the mid-point of the central C—C bond. The quinoline ring system and the hexyl chain are both essentially planar, and the dihedral angle between them is 46.30 (2)°. Intra­molecular N—H⋯N and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds form five- and six-numbered rings, respectively. The crystal packing is stabilized by short C—H⋯O inter­actions.

Comment top

Recently, Chen et al. (2007) reported the syntheses and crystal structures of the flexible ligand N,N'-di(2-pyridyl)adipamide and its several Ag(I) complexes. Theses complexes form topologically promising zigzag, helical or sinusoidal chain architectures because the flexible ligand can adopt three different conformations. To investigate the influence of the terminal groups on crystal structure, and to obtain a more topologically promising coordination framework, we synthesized and carried out the structure determination of the title compound, (I) (Fig. 1).

The molecule sits on a center of symmetry passing through the central C12—C12ii bond [symmetry code: (ii): -x, -y, -z] (Fig. 1). All bond lengths and angles in (I) show normal values and are comparable to those of the related compounds, N,N'-di(2-pyridyl)adipamide (Chen et al., 2007), and N-(quinolin-8-yl)-2-(quinolin-8-yloxy)acetamide (Wen et al., 2006). The quinoline group is essentially planar, with a dihedral angle of 1.70 (3)° between the benzene ring (C4—C9) and pyridine ring (C1—C4/C9/N1). The C10—C12/C10A—C12A unit is also planar, with the dihedral angle to the quinoline system of 46.30 (2)°. Two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, viz. N2—H2A···N1 and C7—H7···O1 (Fig. 1 and Table 1), form five- and six-membered rings, respectively, and affect the conformation of the molecule. The crystal packing is stabilized by short C11—H11B···O1 interactions (Fig. 2 and Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was synthesized by a reaction of adipoyl chloride and 8-aminoquinoline according to literature method (Chen et al., 2007). Colourless single cystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by slow evaporation from a methanol solution over a period of 7 d.

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically, with N—H = 0.86 Å and C—H = 0.95–0.99 Å, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C,N).

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.
