In the title compound, C8H6N4O3S, the dihedral angle between the pyrazine rings is 85.04 (1)°. In the crystal, mol­ecules are arranged along the a axis and are linked by C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and pyrazine–pyrazine ππ inter­actions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.800 (1) Å, forming an infinite chain array. The chains are connected by C—H⋯O(oxide) hydrogen bonds into layers lying parallel to the ab plane. Along the c axis, the layers are stacked and linked through C—H⋯O(sulfon­yl) inter­actions, forming a three-dimensional network.

Comment top

Pyridyl based sulfonyl derivatives were widely used in supramolecular assemblies of transition metal complexes (Wan & Mak, 2011). Pyridyl based N-oxide derivatives have also been demonstrated as versatile building blocks to construct supramolecular architectures of various metal complexes (Jia et al., 2008). In the present context, we report the structure of the title compound, a new N-oxide compound derived from 2,2'-sulfonyldipyrazine.

In the title compound, the value of the C1(sp2)—S1—C5(sp2) angle is 103.92 (1)° with two attached pyrazinyl rings exhibiting a dihedral angle of 85.04 (1)°, as shown in Fig. 1. The angular-shaped molecules are arranged along the a axis. As shown in Fig. 2, two adjacent molecules arranged with an inversion center are interconnected through C7—H7A···N1iii and π···π interactions (Cg···Cgiii = 3.800 (1) Å, Cg represents the C5-N3-C6-C7-N4-C8 ring; symmetry code: iii = 2 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z). The dimers are further interconnected through π···π interactions between Cg and Cgiv [Cg···Cgiv = 4.174 (2) Å, the distance between the closest ring atom and one Cg is 3.597 (2) Å; symmetry code = 1 - x, 1 - y, 1 - z]. The formed chains are further connected through C3—H3A···O3ii(oxynitride) hydrogen bonds to form a layer almost parallel to the ab plane (symmetry code: ii = 2 - x, - y, 1 - z). Along the c axis, the formed layers are stacked and interconnected through C2—H2A···O1i(sulfonyl) interactions to form a three-dimensional framework (Fig. 3, Table 1; symmetry code: i = x, -y + 1/2, z + 1/2).

Experimental top

The title compound was obtained as a serendipitous byproduct as the 2,2'-dipyrazine sulfide (0.022 g, 0.1 mmol) was dissolved in a mixture of methanol 2 ml and acetonitrile 2 ml to react with Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.036 g, 0.1 mmol) with constantly stirring at room temperature. After three hours, the clear solution was filtrated and kept in air for about one week to yield colourless block crystals (7 mg, 29% yield). We got the the title compound as a matter of the oxidability by perchlorate acid from Mn(ClO4)2.6H2O.

Refinement top

All hydrogen positions were calculated after each cycle of refinement using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The highest peak (0.8 e.Å-3) in the difference Fourier map is located at 1.1 Å from atom N4. The refinement of a model including one H atom at this position led to lower R1 and wR2 values but it is chemically meaningless since there is no counter ion in the crystal structure. A positional disorder of the oxo O atom (partially on atoms O4 and O2) is surely the best solution but in this case too many restraints had to be used in the final refinements to get an acceptable model (with an site-occupancy ratio greater than 0.9:0.1).

Special details top

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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.
