The title compound was prepared and purified using a previously published procedure (Black et al., 1993). A small amount of this compound was dissolved in ~1 ml of CHCl3 and one drop of 95% ethanol was added to the mixture. The vial containing this mixture was placed in a beaker with ~1 ml of hexane and the beaker was loosely sealed. In 14 days, yellow crystals, suitable for data collection, were observed on the sides of the vial.
H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.95, 0.96 and 1.00 Å, for aromatic, methyl and methine H atoms, respectively, and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)[Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups].
We first reported the synthesis of the title compound as part of our effort to study the pH-dependent
reactions of transition metal complexes of riboflavin mimics (Black et al., 1993). Since that time, others have investigated metal complexes of this ligand as possible DNA probes (see, for example, Gao et al., 2007; Lawrence et al., 2006). The title compound is only slightly soluble in many common solvents; it appears at least moderately soluble in CHCl3. We have grown crystals by vapor diffusion of hexane into a CHCl3/95% EtOH solution. As shown in Figure 1, the revealed interesting H-bonding interactions involving the H-atom on CHCl3 and the N-atoms in the 1,10-phenanthroline portion of the ligand (C19—H···N1: 3.188 (2) Å, 136° and C19—H···N6: 3.181 (2) Å, 152°). This type of interaction has been reported previously (Ton & Bolte, 2005) for a of CHCl3 and 1,10-phenanthroline(Cl3C—H···N: 3.175 (3) Å, 146° and 3.225 (3) Å, 141°). Ab initio calculations on the interaction between CHCl3 and pyridine (Li & Wang, 2007) predict a range of Cl3C—H···N distances (3.13–3.25 Å) and angles (156–167°), depending on the basis sets used. Fan et al. (2009) reported very weak Cl3C—H···N interaction in pyridine/chloroform solutions as measured by anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The interplanar distance between inversion-related molecules in I (viewed along the a-axis) is 3.241 (2) Å. The molecular planes in alternating stacks are oriented at 12.46 (2)° to each other; this could at least partially be due to packing constraints imposed by the slightly out-of-plane C18-methyl group (see packing diagram in Figure 2). Studies involving the non-methylated analog of the title compound have also been reported (Chen et al., 2010; Dalton et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2007; Ozawa et al., 2006) although, to our knowledge, no crystal structures of this analog have been reported.For the synthesis, see: Black et al.

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. |

We first reported the synthesis of the title compound as part of our effort to study the pH-dependent electron transfer reactions of transition metal complexes of riboflavin mimics (Black et al., 1993). Since that time, others have investigated metal complexes of this ligand as possible DNA probes (see, for example, Gao et al., 2007; Lawrence et al., 2006). The title compound is only slightly soluble in many common solvents; it appears at least moderately soluble in CHCl3. We have grown crystals by vapor diffusion of hexane into a CHCl3/95% EtOH solution. As shown in Figure 1, the crystal structure revealed interesting H-bonding interactions involving the H-atom on CHCl3 and the N-atoms in the 1,10-phenanthroline portion of the ligand (C19—H···N1: 3.188 (2) Å, 136° and C19—H···N6: 3.181 (2) Å, 152°). This type of interaction has been reported previously (Ton & Bolte, 2005) for a co-crystal of CHCl3 and 1,10-phenanthroline(Cl3C—H···N: 3.175 (3) Å, 146° and 3.225 (3) Å, 141°). Ab initio calculations on the interaction between CHCl3 and pyridine (Li & Wang, 2007) predict a range of Cl3C—H···N distances (3.13–3.25 Å) and angles (156–167°), depending on the basis sets used. Fan et al. (2009) reported very weak Cl3C—H···N interaction in pyridine/chloroform solutions as measured by anti-Stokes Raman scattering. The interplanar distance between inversion-related molecules in I (viewed along the a-axis) is 3.241 (2) Å. The molecular planes in alternating stacks are oriented at 12.46 (2)° to each other; this could at least partially be due to packing constraints imposed by the slightly out-of-plane C18-methyl group (see packing diagram in Figure 2). Studies involving the non-methylated analog of the title compound have also been reported (Chen et al., 2010; Dalton et al., 2008; Gao et al., 2007; Ozawa et al., 2006) although, to our knowledge, no crystal structures of this analog have been reported.
