Crystal structures of five 1-alkyl-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium halide salts

To investigate the predominant inter­molecular inter­actions in 1-alkyl-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium halide salts, five salts were prepared and crystallographically characterized. The halide ions generally inter­act with the H atoms of the triazolium cation forming extended sheets. When the aryl ring lies on the plane of the triazolium cation, the cationic core formed two-dimensional networks that lead into layer-like assembled structures. The triazolium core exhibits π–π inter­actions with the iodide and/or the aryl ring of another layer. The melting-point temperatures of each salt were also determined.

S1. Chemical context

Literature syntheses of asymmetric 1,2,4-triazolium cations have increased in recent years due to their utility as cations in ionic liquids (ILs) and as precursors to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) (Dwivedi et al., 2014; Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Mochida et al., 2011; Nelson, 2015; Porcar et al., 2013; Strassner et al., 2013). Most structural analyses of these cations have been performed to understand how the inter­molecular features of ILs affect their physical properties. (Porcar et al., 2013).

Most recently, Strassner has introduced a new group of ionic liquids called `TAAILs' (tunable aryl–alkyl ionic liquids) (Ahrens et al., 2009). The idea is to tune the properties of the ionic liquids through modification of the aryl and alkyl substituents of an imidazole cation (Scheme 1). The new cations can still be combined with the previously used anions in ILs. These workers have demonstrated that electron-donating para- substituents on the aryl group lower the melting point, while electron-withdrawing para- substituents raise the melting point. Thus one can tune the IL properties through the introduction of an electronic variation through para- substitution on the aryl rings. This group has also extended the concept to the 1,2,4-triazolium cation core (Meyer & Strassner, 2011).

Our group became inter­ested in learning how the aryl/alkyl substituents on the triazole ring affect the solid-state structures of the salts because strategic choice of substituents should allow tailorable π–π inter­actions as predicted by Strassner's group (Meyer & Strassner, 2011). Herein, the preparation and crystal structure analyses of salts (1)–(5) are discussed (Scheme 2). Cations (1)–(3) compare the inductive effects of the electronic para-substituents in the aryl group, while cations (3)–(5) contrast the steric bulk of the alkyl substituents. None of the compounds presented here are ILs because we used iodide or bromide counter-anions to facilitate crystal formation. Understanding inter­actions in the solid state may help better design systems where the triazolium cations are needed.

S2. Structural commentary

Salts (1) and (2) crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pccn, salt (3) in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n, and salt (5) in the monoclinic space group C2/c. Salt (4) crystallized in the non-centrosymmetric space group Cc with a Flack parameter of -0.01 (2) indicating the absolute structure is well determined.

The asymmetric unit for all salts contains one cation and one iodide or bromide ion, except for salt (5), where there is an additional single water molecule. The bond lengths in the triazolium rings for all salts indicate aromaticity with C—N and N—N bond distances in the narrow range of 1.292 (6)–1.365 (5) Å for (1), 1.304 (5)–1.365 (4) Å for (2), 1.301 (3)–1.374 (3) Å for (3), 1.297 (6)–1.370 (5) Å for (4), and 1.299 (4)–1.375 (4) Å for (5); with N—C—N bond angles of 107.7 (4)° for (1), 107.5 (3)° for (2), 107.3 (2)° for (3), 107.5 (3)° for (4), and 107.2 (2)° for (5). These values are very similar to those reported for 4-phenyl-1-ethyl-4H-1,2,4-triazolium bromide, in which the C—N and N—N bond distances range is 1.301 (3)–1.469 (4) Å and the N—C—N bond angle is 107.8 (2)° (Meyer & Strassner, 2011). The phenyl ring for these salts lies in almost the same plane as the triazole ring with torsion angles of 6.5 (7)° for (1), 24.1 (5)° for (2), 12.9 (4)° for (4), and 3.1 (4)° for (5); except for salt (3) where the phenyl ring is almost perpendicular to the triazole ring with a torsion angle of 65.1 (3)°. The torsion angle between the phenyl and triazole rings for the reported triazolium bromide is 5.8 (4)° (Meyer & Strassner, 2011). There are no significant intra­molecular inter­actions found in any of the salts.

S3. Supra­molecular features

For all five salts, there is a predominant C—H···halide inter­molecular inter­action between the hydrogen atoms in the triazolium ring and the counter ions, forming an extended network (Fig.s 1–5, Tables 1–5). For the asymmetric unit in salt (1), there are a total of four C—H···I^- inter­molecular inter­actions with two neighboring molecules (Fig. 1, Table 1). Each iodide ion inter­acts with two C—H moieties from the triazolium ring and two from the ortho C—H moieties of the aryl group. There is an additional C—H···N inter­action between the meta C—H of the aryl ring and the triazolium nitro­gen. The fluorine substituent in the para- position of the aryl ring is not an acceptor in any of the C—H inter­actions in salt (1). The asymmetric unit of salt (2) shows a total of three C—H···I^- inter­molecular inter­actions with two neighboring molecules (Fig. 2, Table 2). Two C—H moieties from the triazolium ring and one ortho C—H of the aryl ring inter­act with one iodide ion. In the asymmetric unit of salt (3) (Fig. 3, Table 3), there are a total of three C—H···I^- inter­molecular inter­actions, two from the triazolium C—H moieties, and one methine hydrogen from the iso­propyl group because the aryl ring does not lie on the plane of the triazolium ring. For salts (4) and (5) (Figs. 4 and 5, Tables 4 and 5), there are only a total of two C—H···I/Br^- inter­molecular inter­actions, both from the triazole ring's C—H groups. However, in salt (5), a water molecule is in the asymmetric unit along the plane of the triazole and phenyl rings and is also inter­acting with the Br^- ion and the ortho C—H of the phenyl ring. A square-shaped hydrogen-bonding network is formed between two bromide ions and water molecules (Fig. 6 and Table 5). Thus, each bromide ion has two acceptor inter­actions with water hydrogen atoms and one acceptor inter­action with the C—H of the triazolium ring, and each water molecule has two donor inter­actions with the bromide ions and one acceptor inter­action with the ortho C—H of the aryl ring (Figs. 5 and 6, Table 5).

Salts (1), (2), and (4) pack as layered sheets as shown in Fig. 7. In salt (1), there is an additional inter­molecular inter­action between the triazolium carbon and the iodide ion (C1···I1) with a distance of 3.546 (4) Å between layers along the unit cell c-axis (Fig. 8). While an anion–π inter­action is not common, similar inter­actions have been reported in the literature, especially in supra­molecular systems (Chifotides & Dunbar, 2013). Each cation in the sheet is further stabilized by an F···F inter­action with a distance of 2.889 (5) Å between neighboring cations (Fig. 8). C—F···F—C contacts are reported in the literature to be weak but still relevant for crystal packing (Chopra, 2012). In salt (2), the iodide ion between layers is inter­acting with both the triazolium carbon (C1···I1 distance of 3.532 (4) Å, Fig. 9) and the methine hydrogen atom of the iso­propyl group (C3—H3···I1, Fig. 9, Table 2), in addition to the three hydrogen-bonding inter­actions with the ortho hydrogen atom and triazolium hydrogen atom of a cation within the sheet (Figs. 2 and 9, Table 2). Salt (4) also demonstrates iodide ion inter­action with both the triazolium carbon [C1···I1 distance of 3.503 (3) Å, Fig. 10] and the methyl hydrogen atom (C3—H3···I1; Fig. 10, Table 4) in alternating layers, in addition to the hydrogen bonding with the neighboring cation's triazolium hydrogen atoms (Fig. 3, Table 4). The structure is stabilized further by π–π inter­actions between aryl carbons in alternating layers [C6···C9 with a distance of 3.384 (5) Å] and an aryl carbon with a triazolium carbon [C1···C8 with a distance of 3.282 (4) Å], also in alternating layers (Fig. 10). In salt (5) there are π-inter­actions [C11···C11 with a distance of 3.220 (5) Å and C1···C12 with a distance of 3.335 (4) Å] between triazolium and aryl rings in alternating layers which are closely associated with the donor–acceptor inter­actions of the bromide ions and water molecules (Figs. 6 and 11). Extending the layers further reveals another π–π inter­action [C1···C13 with a distance of 3.370 (4) Å] between the triazolium cation and aryl rings (Fig. 12), and a π–π inter­action [C2···O1, 3.143 (5) Å] between the carbon atom of the triazole ring and the oxygen atom of the water molecule (Fig. 12a). This triazole–phenyl π stacking is parallel with the c axis (Fig. 12b). The extended sheet network in salt (3) passes diagonally through the cell, but there are no significant inter­molecular inter­actions between cations, as shown in Fig. 13.

Inter­estingly, when there is para-substitution on the aryl ring [salts (1) and (2)], there are no observed π–π inter­actions between the phenyl­ene and triazole rings. The observed inter­actions are predominantly from the triazolium carbon atom with the iodide ion. The absence of the para-substitutents allows π–π inter­actions between the phenyl and triazole rings as demonstrated in salts (4) and (5). However, to facilitate π–π inter­action, the aryl ring needs to be co-planar with the triazolium ring; thus there are no π–π inter­actions in salt (3). Salt (5) exhibited the lowest melting-point temperature, possibly due to the presence of water in the crystal lattice, and thus will not be included in the discussion here. The higher melting points of salts (1), (2) and (4) compared to salt (3) may reflect the layering of the triazolium-aryl cation core sheets and the resulting inter-layer inter­actions. As predicted by Strassner, the electron-withdrawing substituent in the aryl ring found in salt (1) increased the melting point when compared to salt (2), which contains an electron-donating substituent on the aryl ring (Meyer & Strassner, 2011). The π–π inter­actions between the phenyl and triazole rings in salt (4) likely facilitate the increase in melting-point temperature.

In summary, for 1-alkyl-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium halide salts, the predominant inter­molecular inter­action is the C—H···halide hydrogen bond between the hydrogen atoms in the triazolium cation and the halide ions forming extended sheets. For salts with para-substitution on the aryl ring, π–π inter­actions between the triazolium carbon and the halide are present. The melting points of these salts agree with substituent inductive effects predictions. For salts without the para-substitution on the aryl ring, π–π inter­actions displayed by the layers are between the triazolium and aryl rings.

S4. Database survey

Salt (3) is one of the azolium salts that was utilized by Abdellah in the direct electrochemical reduction of the salt to form the N-heterocyclic carbene (Abdellah et al., 2011). Salt (4) is a carbene-precursor to phospho­rescent platinum(II)–NHC complexes; the crystal structure as a carbene ligand is also reported (Tenne et al., 2013). Triazolium cation (5) was used in the investigation of kinetics and mechanism of azocoupling (Becker et al., 1991).

S5. Synthesis and crystallization

General Methods. All salts were synthesized in two steps. The first step is an intra­molecular transamination pathway similar to literature methods (Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Naik et al., 2008; Holm et al., 2010). The products of this transamination step are 4-(4-fluoro­phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole as the salt (1) precursor, 4-(4-methyl­phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole as the salt (2) precursor, and 4-(phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole as salts (3), (4) and (5) precursor. In our attempts, we utilized a microwave reactor to shorten the reaction time from 24 hrs to roughly 15–30 mins with 20–70% yields (Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Naik et al., 2008; Holm et al., 2010). The second step is a nucleophilic substitution between the first-step products, 4-aryl-1,2,4-triazoles, and an alkyl halide (2-iodo­propane, iodo­methane, and benzyl bromide). This synthetic approach was used in the literature (Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Holm et al., 2010), but in our attempts we again used the microwave reactor to shorten the reaction time from 48 hrs to 10-30 mins with 10-70% yields (Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Holm et al., 2010).

N,N-di­methyl­formamide azine di­hydro­chloride (DMFA·2HCl) was synthesized following literature methods (Naik et al., 2008; Holm et al., 2010). All other reagents and solvents were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Tetra­hydro­furan (THF) and iso­propanol were dried with molecular sieves (4Å). A Biotage microwave reactor was used for all synthetic preparations. All NMR spectra were recorded on a JEOL 400 MHz spectrometer. ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts were determined by reference to residual ¹H and ¹³C solvent peaks. All thermal analysis experiments were performed on a TA model TGA Q500 thermal gravimetric analyzer and TA model DSC Q100 differential scanning calorimeter. For TGA experiments, crystal samples with masses between 0.4 to 1.4 mg were loaded onto platinum pans. Dry grade nitro­gen gas was used for all samples with a balance purge rate of 40.00 mL/min and a sample purge rate of 60.00 mL/min. The temperature was ramped at 20.00 K per minute until a final temperature of 673.00 or 773.00 K was reached. For DSC experiments, crystal samples with masses between 3 and 9 mg were loaded onto platinum pans. Dry grade nitro­gen gas was used for all samples with a sample purge range of 50.00 mL/min. The samples were subjected to a heat/cool/heat cycle with a temperature ramp rate of 10.00 K per minute until a final temperature of 473–523 K was reached for the heating cycle, and a temperature ramp rate of 5.00 K per minute until a final temperature of 273 or 248 K was reached for the cooling cycle.

Step 1: synthesis of 4-aryl-1,2,4-triazoles. A 20 mL microwave reaction vessel with a stir bar was charged with 1:1 molar equivalents of N,N-di­methyl­formamide azine di­hydro­chloride (DMFA·2HCl), and a para-substituted aryl amine (4-fluoro­aniline or p-toluidine), or aniline. The microwave was set to 443 or 453 K at normal absorbance, and run for 10–30 mins. Once completed, the mixture was washed with THF, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was removed in vacuo, and the remaining solid was washed with di­ethyl ether. Salt (1) precursor: 4-(4-fluoro­phenyl)-1,2,4-triazole.

The proton and carbon spectra are the same as the literature values (Meyer & Strassner, 2011; Holm, et al., 2010).

Step 2: synthesis of 1-alkyl-4-aryl-1,2,4-triazole halides. A 20 mL microwave reaction vessel with a stir bar was charged with 1:2 molar equivalents of 4-aryl-1,2,4-triazole, a halide-substituted alkyl group (2-iodo­propane, iodo­methane, and benzyl bromide), and THF (5 mL). The microwave was set to 393–433 k at high absorbance for 10–30 mins. The resulting mixture was vacuum filtered, and washed with di­ethyl ether (3 × 10 mL). The solid product was recrystallized from hot iso­propanol and placed in the refrigerator for several days. Salt (1): 1-iso­propyl-4-(4-fluoro­phenyl)-1,2,4-triazol-1-ium iodide.

S6. Refinement

Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 6. H atoms for salts (1)–(4) were placed in calculated positions and allowed to ride on their parent atoms at C—H distances of 0.95 Å for the triazolium and aryl rings, 0.98 Å for the methyl groups, and 1.00 Å for the methine group. H atoms for salt (5) were treated with a mixture of independent and constrained refinement. The C—H distances are 0.95 Å for the triazolium and aryl rings, 0.99 Å for the methyl­ene group, and 0.95 (6) Å and 0.92 (7) Å for water. Salt (4) crystallized in the non-centrosymmetric space group Cc with a Flack parameter of -0.01 (2) indicating the absolute structure is well determined.

Special details

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.

Special details

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.
