The title compound, C10H10Cl3N3, features a delocalized unsaturated N C N C N chain and strong intramolecular N—H⋯N hydrogen bonding across the chelate ring and also intramolecular N—H⋯Cl contacts to a CCl3-group Cl atom. The only intermolecular contacts in the lattice are non-classical hydrogen bonds between methyl and CCl3 groups. The pseudo-six-membered ring is distinctly non-planar by virtue of rotation about the N—C bond between the carboximidamide and imine components [C—N—C—N torsion angle = −23.6 (2) °].

The title compound was prepared as were those described in Boeré, Roemmele, Suduweli Kondage et al. (2011) by addition of trichloroacetonitrile to N,N,N'-4-methylbenzamidine in acetonitrile. Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were grown by vacuum
(m.p. 315–317 K).C-bound H atoms were treated as riding, with C–H = 0.98 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl and C–H = 0.95–0.96 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for all other H atoms. The three N-bound H-atom positions were refined using a distance restraint of 0.88 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(N).
The title compound (Figure 1), commonly known as an imidoylamidine, was prepared as part of our continuing interest in C,N,S based heterocycles (Boeré, Roemmele & Yu, 2011). The molecular structure is very similar to seven independent molecules from our prevous study (Boeré, Roemmele, Suduweli Kondage et al., 2011), with only a single tautomeric form being evidenced in the ≐ C≐N≐C≐N core are nearly identical within the s.u. values to the comparison group. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between N1—H2···N3 at 2.683 (2) Å to form a pseudo six membered ring. This hydrogen bond is slightly longer (just outside the s.u. values) than the previously reported average of 2.638 (14) Å, which is likely due to a slight rotation of the core (C1—N2—C2—N3 torsion angle = 23.6 (2) °) which causes N3 to be twisted out of the plane of the other four atoms (N1,C1,N2,C2) compared to a range of 4.2 (5) to 16.0 (2) ° for this torsion angle in the comparison group. Also noteworthy is a short intramolecular N3—H3···Cl1 contact at 2.9993 (15) Å, which is within s.u. values of the other known trichloromethyl imidoylamidines. The most surprising feature is the complete lack of intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the NH or NH2 groups, which was previously observed only in the structure of 4-trifluormethyl-N'-(2,2,2-trichloroethanimidoyl)benzene-1-carboximidamide. In fact, the only short contacts are non-classical hydrogen bonds between the methyl and CCl3 groups, specifically from H10A to Cl2i and H10C to Cl3ii at 2.9272 (5) and 2.9245 (5) Å (Figure 2).

Experimental. A crystal coated in Paratone oil was mounted on the end of a thin glass capillary and cooled in the gas stream of the diffractometer Kryoflex device. |
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 title compound (Figure 1), commonly known as an imidoylamidine, was prepared as part of our continuing interest in C,N,S based heterocycles (Boeré, Roemmele & Yu, 2011). The molecular structure is very similar to seven independent molecules from our prevous study (Boeré, Roemmele, Suduweli Kondage et al., 2011), with only a single tautomeric form being evidenced in the crystal lattice. The bond lengths and angles for the N≐ C≐N≐C≐N core are nearly identical within the s.u. values to the comparison group. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding occurs between N1—H2···N3 at 2.683 (2) Å to form a pseudo six membered ring. This hydrogen bond is slightly longer (just outside the s.u. values) than the previously reported average of 2.638 (14) Å, which is likely due to a slight rotation of the core (C1—N2—C2—N3 torsion angle = 23.6 (2) °) which causes N3 to be twisted out of the plane of the other four atoms (N1,C1,N2,C2) compared to a range of 4.2 (5) to 16.0 (2) ° for this torsion angle in the comparison group. Also noteworthy is a short intramolecular N3—H3···Cl1 contact at 2.9993 (15) Å, which is within s.u. values of the other known trichloromethyl imidoylamidines. The most surprising feature is the complete lack of intermolecular hydrogen bonding involving the NH or NH2 groups, which was previously observed only in the structure of 4-trifluormethyl-N'-(2,2,2-trichloroethanimidoyl)benzene-1-carboximidamide. In fact, the only short contacts are non-classical hydrogen bonds between the methyl and CCl3 groups, specifically from H10A to Cl2i and H10C to Cl3ii at 2.9272 (5) and 2.9245 (5) Å (Figure 2).
