Main Results:

  • The molecule lies on an inversion center, indicating high symmetry.
  • The ethyl oxamate group is non-planar, with carbonyl groups exhibiting a near-perpendicular orientation (torsion angle of -111.34 degrees).
  • Infinite supramolecular tapes were observed, formed by centrosymmetric R(2)2(12) motifs through C-H...O interactions propagating along the b-axis.

Conclusions:

  • The crystal structure of diethyl N,N :N,N -bis(ethylene)dioxamate is characterized by non-planar ethyl oxamate units.
  • Soft C-H...O interactions play a significant role in organizing molecules into extended supramolecular tapes.
  • The findings contribute to the understanding of crystal engineering and the design of functional organic materials.
