A third polymorph of the title compound, C16H14N4, has been obtained. The molecule adopts a non-planar conformation with an E configuration at the two partially double exo C N bonds of the 2-pyridylamine units. Like in the triclinic form [Bensemann et al. (2002). New J. Chem. 26, 448–456], the recognition process between 2-pyridylamine units takes place through formation of a cyclic R22(8) hydrogen-bond motif, leading to the creation of tapes parallel to [001].

N,N'-Di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine was prepared according to the published procedure (Bensemann et al., 2002). N,N'-Di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine (0.03 g, 0.11 mmol) and pyrazine (0.01 g, 0.11 mmol) were dissolved in 5 ml of 2-butanone and placed in a glass vial. After a few days colourless, plate-shaped crystals with a melting point of 479 K were obtained.
H atoms of the N—H groups were located in difference electron-density maps. N—H bond lengths were standardized to 0.90 Å and Uiso(H) values were constrained to 1.2Ueq(N). All other H atoms were initially identified in difference maps but were placed at calculated positions with C—H = 0.93 Å, and were refined as riding on their carrier atoms with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

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. |

The compounds bearing two 2-pyridylamine groups separated by linkers can adopt either E,E, Z,Z or E,Z forms depending on the configuration of the partially double exo C≐ N bond of the 2-pyridylamine unit. In crystals the molecules in the E, E form tend to build one-dimensional networks via R22(8) synthons generated between self-complementary 2-pyridylamine groups. In turn, the Z,Z form generates the C(4) catemer motif that can lead to the formation of one-, two- and three-dimensional frameworks (Bensemann et al., 2002). These compounds are known to exhibit conformational polymorphism and for N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine two polymorphic forms were identified. In the orthorhombic form (Pbca, Z'=0.5), obtained by crystallization from acetonitrile, the molecules are nonplanar and adopt the Z,Z form. Hydrogen bonds between 2-pyridylamine groups generate catemeric motifs that assemble molecules into a two-dimensional framework. In the triclinic P1 polymorph, obtained by crystallization from methanol, there are two symmetry independent molecules, each in the E,E form and located around inversion center. These molecules form tapes via strongly nonplanar R22(8) motif generated by N—H···N hydrogen bonds (Bensemann et al., 2002).
Recently, during an attempt to cocrystallize N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine with pyrazine from 2-butanone, a new monoclinic polymorph of N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine was obtained. When crystallization was repeated from 2-butanone without addition of pyrazine the triclinic polymorph was formed.
In the new monoclinic polymorph the molecules adopt the E,E form and are assembled into tapes via strongly non-planar R22(8) hydrogen-bond motif. The overall shape of the tapes and their crystal packing are different from the arrangement found in the triclinic polymorph. As shown in Fig. 2a, the hydrogen-bonded tapes extended along [0 0 1] are grouped into pairs, with no specific interactions occurring between the two tapes, and these pairs of tapes are further arranged in a herring-bone manner (Fig. 2b).
The three polymorphs of N,N'-di(pyridin-2-yl)benzene-1,4-diamine have identical or very similar melting points: 478–479 K for the orthorhombic and triclinic polymorphs and 479 K for the monoclinic form. The calculated crystal densities are also similar: 1.335, 1.314 and 1.328 g cm-3 for orthorhombic, triclinic and monoclinic forms, respectively.
