Abstract:
In the title compound, C28H21N3O, the 1,2-di-hydro-pyridine ring of the 1,2,7,8-tetra-hydro-iso-quinoline ring system is planar as expected, while the cyclo-hexa-1,3-diene ring has a twist-boat conformation, with Cremer-Pople parameters Q T = 0.367 (2) A, θ = 117.3 (3)° and φ = 327.3 (4)°. The dihedral angles between the best planes through the iso-quinoline ring system and the three phenyl rings are 81.69 (12), 82.45 (11) and 47.36 (10)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via N-H⋯O and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network. Furthermore, the crystal packing is dominated by C-H⋯π bonds with a strong inter-action involving the phenyl H atoms. The role of the inter-molecular inter-actions in the crystal packing was clarified using Hirshfeld surface analysis, and two-dimensional fingerprint plots indicate that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (46.0%), C⋯H/H⋯C (35.1%) and N⋯H/H⋯N (10.5%) contacts.

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 the dxy,...

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...
