The title compound, C16H14N8, is a new chiral ligand designed for applications in supra­molecular chemistry and Fe2+ spin-crossover complexes. The crystal structure shows a herring-bone arrangement of the mol­ecules, which are mutually linked via inter­molecular C—H⋯N inter­actions mainly donated by the alkyl and tetra­zole H atoms.

Comment top

Bifunctional molecules containing two 1H-tetrazol-1-yl groups at both ends of suitable spacer moieties like flexible alkanes or stiff arenes are of growing interest in supramolecular chemistry (Liu et al., 2008, 2009; Yu et al., 2008) and in the construction of new Fe2+-based spin-crossover complexes (Grunert et al., 2004; Quesada et al., 2007; Bialonska et al., 2008). In continuation of a previous study on the crystal structures and packing of α-ω-bis(tetrazol-1-yl)-alkanes (Grunert et al., 2005; Absmeier et al., 2006) the title compound, (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-di-(1H-tetrazol-1-yl)ethane, became of interest as an example for a chiral bis-tetrazolyl ligand. It was obtained by a standard reaction (Kamiya & Saito, 1973) from the chiral starting material (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine (cf. experimental).

The title compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic chiral space group P212121, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit (Fig. 1). Bond lengths and bond angles in the molecule are normal. The two tetrazole rings are attached to the central ethane group in a (-)-synclinal geometry [N1—C2—C3—N5 = -53.3 (1)°], the two phenyl rings in a (+)-synclinal geometry [N1—C2—C3—N5 = 60.6 (1)°]. The point group symmetry of the free molecule is C2. In the solid state state it deviates significantly from this symmetry by intermolecular forces, as can be seen particularly from the distinctly differing torsion angles angles [C2—C3—N5—C4 = 114.3 (1)° and C3—C2—N1—C1 = 157.8 (1)°] involving the tetrazolyl groups. The corresponding angles involving the phenyl rings differ less [C3—C2—C5—C6 = 76.0 (1)° and C2—C3—C11—C16 = 52.6 (2)°].

In the crystal the molecules are stacked in a typical herring-bone manner (Fig. 2). π-π-stacking is absent but adjacent molecules are linked by weak intermolecular C—H···N interactions (Table 1) between mainly the alkyl CH groups and the tetrazole nitrogen atoms. These are accompanied by somewhat longer C—H···N interactions of the tetrazole CH groups and some phenyl CH groups (Table 1).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to the general procedure given by (Kamiya & Saito, 1973). A solution of 2.0 g of (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine (9.42 mmol, Kanto Chemical), 1.41 g of sodium azide (21.7 mmol, Wako, min. 98.0%) and 4.19 g of triethyl orthoformate (28.3 mmol, Sigma-Aldrich, 98%) in 120 ml of glacial acetic acid (Kanto Chemical, 99.5%), was stirred for 2 h at a temperature of 343 - 353 K. After cooling down to rt the solvent was distilled off and 20 ml of distilled water were added, whereupon a yellow solid precipitated. The suspension was stored in the refrigerator overnight, then the product was obtained by suction filtration and was washed with distilled water. Drying under vacuum yielded 0.291 g (9.7%) of the title compound as a colourless microcrystalline powder. Crystals suitable for X-ray difraction were obtained by recrystallization from methanol. Elemental analysis (Micro Corder JM10, J-Science Lab): C (calculated 60.37%/found 59.96%), H (4.43/4.56), N (35.20/34.80). NMR (Bruker DPX-200): 1H (DMSO-d6): δ 7.26–7.37 (m, 3 H, Ph—H), 7.50 (s, 1 H, CH), 7.66–7.70 (m, 2 H, Ph—H), 9.55 (s, 1 H, tetrazole). 13C (DMSO-d6): δ 63.8 (CH); 128.5, 129.1, 129.5, 134.0 (Ph); 143.7 (tetrazole).

Refinement top

The absolute structure of the title compound could not be determined from the diffraction data but was known from the chiral precursor compound (1R,2R)-(+)-1,2-diphenyl-1,2-ethanediamine. In the final cycles of refinement, in the absence of significant anomalous scattering effects, Friedel pairs were merged and Δf " set to zero. All the H-atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding: C- H = 0.95 - 1.0 Å, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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.
