Abstract:
In the title compound, C13H13FN2O2S, the pyrimidine ring adopts a twist-boat conformation with the MeCN and methine-C atoms displaced by 0.0938 (6) and 0.2739 (3) Å, respectively, from the mean plane through the other four atoms of the ring. The 2-fluoro-benzene ring is positioned axially and forms a dihedral angle of 89.13 (4)° with the mean plane through the pyrimidine ring. The crystal structure features N-H⋯O, N-H⋯S and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds that link mol-ecules into supra-molecular chains along the b axis. These chains are linked into a layer parallel to (10-1) by C-H⋯π inter-actions; layers stack with no specific inter-actions between them.

Predicting Molecular Geometry
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 the dxy,...

Radicals: Electronic Structure and Geometry
Accordingly, the structure of a trivalent radical lies between the geometries of carbocations and carbanions. An sp2-hybridized carbocation is trigonal planar, while an sp3-hybridized carbanion is trigonal pyramidal. Here, the difference in geometry is...
Structures of Carboxylic Acid Derivatives
Carboxylic acid derivatives contain an acyl group attached to a heteroatom such as chlorine, oxygen, or nitrogen. The carbonyl carbon and oxygen are both sp2-hybridized with an unhybridized p orbital.
The three sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl carbon form three σ bonds, one each with the carbonyl oxygen, the α carbon, and the heteroatom, whereas the other two sp2 orbitals of the carbonyl oxygen are occupied by the lone pairs. Further, the unhybridized p...
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...
