Chirality at Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Sulfur

Chirality is most prevalent in carbon-based tetrahedral compounds, but this important facet of molecular symmetry extends to sp3-hybridized nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur centers, including trivalent molecules with lone pairs. Here, the lone pair behaves as a functional group in addition to the other three substituents to form an analogous tetrahedral center that can be chiral.
A consequence of chirality is the need for enantiomeric resolution. While this is theoretically possible for all...

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals I

The mathematical expression known as the wave function, ψ, contains information about each orbital and the wavelike properties of electrons in an isolated atom. When atoms are bound together in a molecule, the wave functions combine to produce new mathematical descriptions that have different shapes. This process of combining the wave functions for atomic orbitals is called hybridization and is mathematically accomplished by the linear combination of atomic orbitals. The new orbitals that...

Area of Science:

  • Inorganic Chemistry
  • Crystallography
  • Coordination Chemistry

Background:

  • Antimony complexes are of interest due to their diverse coordination geometries and potential applications.
  • Understanding the solid-state structure is crucial for predicting chemical and physical properties.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the molecular and crystal structure of the title antimony complex, [Sb(C11H14NO)3].
  • To investigate the coordination geometry around the antimony atom and identify key intermolecular interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the three-dimensional structure.
  • Analysis of bond lengths, angles, and non-covalent interactions was performed.

Main Results:

  • The compound exists as a monomer with the antimony atom on a threefold axis.
  • Distorted trigonal-antiprismatic geometry around the Sb atom is observed, influenced by intramolecular N-->Sb interactions.
  • Intermolecular H...phenyl interactions lead to dimer formation, with stacks along the c axis.
  • Morpholine rings adopt chair conformations, with no observed intermolecular interactions between them.

Conclusions:

  • The crystal structure of [Sb(C11H14NO)3] is characterized by unique coordination geometry and intermolecular interactions.
  • Intramolecular and phenyl stacking interactions play significant roles in the observed solid-state architecture.
