Compound (II) was prepared by the literature method of Cortright, Huffman et al. (2004). Crystals of (II) suitable for X-ray diffraction studies were grown from a concentrated dichloromethane solution.
All H atoms were treated as riding, with C—H distances of 0.95 (aromatic), 0.98 (methyl) or 1.00 Å (aliphatic CH) and N—H = 0.88 Å, and with Uiso(H) = kUeq(carrier), where k = 1.5 for methyl groups and 1.2 otherwise. The isopropyl group C26/C27/C28 was disordered over two sites. The anisotropic displacement parameters for corresponding partial occupancy atoms were constrained to be the same. The corresponding bonded distances and 1,3 non-bonded distances in the two disorder components were restrained to be the same; the final site occupancies were 0.73 (3) and 0.27 (3).
CASTEP geometry optimization was performed using the generalized gradient corrected (GGA) exchange-correlation function of Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) (Perdew et al., 1996). Ultrasoft pseudopotentials were used for all elements. The plane-wave basis set cutoff used was 310 eV. A single Γ point was used for Brillouin zone sampling; this setting is sufficiently accurate for such a large unit cell of an insulating material. The Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno (BFGS) algorithm was used for the geometry optimization of the internal degrees of freedom. Calculations were considered converged when the maximum force on atoms was less than 0.01 eV Å-1, the energy change was less than 5 × 10 -6 eV per atom and the maximum atomic displacement was less than 5 × 10 -4 Å.
DMol3 geometry optimization also used the GGA PBE function with an all-electron core treatment and the double numerical plus polarization (DNP) basis set for atomic orbitals. Calculations were considered converged when the maximum force on atoms was less than 0.002 Ha Å-1, the energy change was less than 1 × 10-5 Ha per atom and the maximum atomic displacement was less than 0.005 Å.

Geometry. All s.u.'s (except the s.u. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell s.u.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of s.u.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between s.u.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell s.u.'s is used for estimating s.u.'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 > 2σ(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 1-isoquinolyl-2-aminonaphthalene (IAN) ligands were developed by Johnston and co-workers (Cortright & Johnston, 2002; Cortright, Yoder & Johnston, 2004). Ligands of this type are bidentate, having one amine and one imine-equivalent coordinating group, and they are axially chiral, as in the classic BINOL-derived family [Define BINOL?], since rotation about the naphthyl–isoquinolyl linkage is restricted by the H atoms β to this bond. Formation of a metal complex from an IAN ligand leads to the formation of a six-membered chelate ring with the metal in the centre.
These IAN ligands have been applied to the coordination of zirconium and aluminium with the resulting complexes used in a variety of transformations, including olefin polymerisation and addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde (Cortright, Huffman et al., 2004; Cortright, Coalter et al., 2004). However, most of this work was carried out with ligands in which the R group of the amine N atom (Fig. 1) was small, for example methyl [ligand (I)]. Intrigued by the possibility that increasing the bulk of the R group could improve catalytic activity, we have investigated the use of the title compound, (II), containing the bulky 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group on the amine N atom. This molecule has been reported by Johnston and co-workers (Cortright, Huffman et al., 2004) but not pursued in a catalytic context.
Synthesis of (II) followed the literature route, after which X-ray quality crystals could be obtained from a concentrated dichloromethane solution. The structure of (II) (Fig. 2) reveals that the molecule exists as a monomer in the solid state with a single intramolecular hydrogen bond. This is in sharp contrast with the reported structure for (I) (Cortright, Huffman et al., 2004), which exists a hydrogen-bonded dimer in the solid state. The dimer contains two non-symmetry-related molecules, and exhibits one shorter and one longer hydrogen bond (N···H distances 2.051 and 2.246 Å, respectively). The intramolecular N···H distance in (II) (2.51 Å) is significantly longer, suggesting a much less favourable interaction. Presumably, the additional steric requirement of the bulky aryl group prevents the formation of an intermolecular hydrogen bond.
Reaction of (II) with BuLi followed by MeMgCl in tetrahydrofuran yields a material which gives satisfactory spectroscopic data to confirm the loss of methane and formation of a mono-ligand complex. At present, we have been unable to grow X-ray quality crystals of this material to confirm this assignment. However, a similar reaction with AlEt3 does not lead to the loss of an alkyl group, although the spectroscopic data do suggest that an adduct is formed. It therefore seems that the additional bulk of the aryl group severely hinders deprotonation of the amine group in (II) compared with the more reactive (I).
H atoms have low scattering power, the electron density associated with the atom is not usually centred at the nucleus, and H atoms tend to have higher librational amplitudes than other nuclei (Sheldrick, 1997). As a result, the placement of H atoms in X-ray structures is usually carried out by applying a riding model based on established geometric parameters. The combination of structural data from X-ray diffraction with ab initio calculations can be used to provide reliable H-atom positions (Milman & Winkler, 2001). Compound (II) was an attractive target to investigate the application of this approach to the location of the H atoms, as it presents H atoms with a number of different bonding modes, including hydrogen-bonding, in a well defined structure.
The density functional theory (DFT) programs CASTEP (Clark et al., 2005) and DMol3 (Delley, 2000), as implemented in Materials Studio (Accelrys, 2009), were used to perform these calculations. The lattice parameters were not varied as the experimentally determined parameters are sufficiently accurate. A comparison of an all-electron (DMol3) and a pseudopotential (CASTEP) approach provides additional confidence that the DFT results for this crystal structure do not depend on the implementation details of a particular DFT technique.
Initial comparison of the fractional coordinates of selected heavy atoms indicates the high accuracy of their experimentally determined positions (Table 3). Overlaying the experimentally determined structure (light shading/green) with the DMol3 (dark shading/blue) and CASTEP (mid-shading/red) optimized structures illustrates the accuracy of the heavy-atom positions and the displacement of the H atoms (Fig. 3). Analysis of the lengths of bonds to H atoms shows that, as expected, both theoretical methods calculate the positions of the H atoms at greater distances from the heavy atoms than the riding-model positions (Table 4). Looking at the average differences between the experimental and calculated values (Table 5), it is clear that both DFT methods give very similar results. Both methods show the greatest variation between computation and experiment for aromatic C—H positions, with the single N—H (which was located experimentally and restrained) giving the closest agreement between DFT and X-ray locations.
By combining DFT methods with experimental locations for non-H atoms, a model for (II) which locates the H atoms accurately is available. This provides a useful alternative to more difficult to access methods for accurate H-atom location in solids for which X-ray quality single crystals are available.
