Two new metastable forms of 6-chloroquinolin-2(1H)-one: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surfaces and spectroscopic

Abstract:
Two new metastable crystalline forms of 6-chloroquinolin-2(1H)-one (forms II and III), which were induced by two kinds of 3D inorganic anions (ClO4- and BF4-), have been prepared and characterized in this work. We performed single-crystal diffraction, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Hirshfeld surfaces, solid-state vibrational spectroscopy (IR) and thermal analysis (DSC, TGA) to these two new forms as well as the original one (form I). Form I featured with 1D chain, while form II and III featured with dimeric unit with stronger π⋯π and hydrogen bonds interactions. The 3D inorganic anions force the self-assemble behavior of 6-chloroquinolin-2(1H)-one molecules from 1D chain structure (form I) to dimeric unit (forms II and III) due to their large steric hindrance, and different anions induced different orientations for dimeric unit. These transformations lead to the increase of N-H⋯O, π⋯π, and Cl-Cl intermolecular interactions, which lead to blue shift of IR spectra in 1700-1500 cm(-1) region as well as luminescence peaks, while red shift of IR spectra in 650-550 cm(-1) region.

Stability of Substituted Cyclohexanes
The two chair conformations of cyclohexanes undergo rapid interconversion at room temperature. Both forms have identical energies and stabilities, each comprising equal amounts of the equilibrium mixture. Replacing a hydrogen atom with a functional group makes the two conformations energetically non-equivalent.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than...
Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
