Two polymorphs of N,N'-diphenyl-2-[1-(propyl-amino)-ethyl-idene]propanedi-amide

Abstract:
Two polymorphs of the title compound, C20H23N3O2, have been isolated. Polymorph (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1/n and polymorph (II) in the tetra-gonal space group I4 1/a. The main difference between the two polymorphs on the mol-ecular level is the orientation of the n-propyl group. This group is anti-periplanar in (I) and synclinal in (II). The core of the mol-ecule consists of two carbamoyl units bound to an enamine unit. The most prominent features are intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds in both polymorphs. Both polymorphs form dimers with graph set R 2 2(12) via inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Adjacent dimers of (I) are connected via a weak C-H⋯O inter-action, resulting in a chain parallel to the crystallographic a-axis. The dimers of (II) are connected by weak C-H⋯π inter-actions, forming inter-molecular chains along the c-axis direction.

Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...

Stereoisomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula.
Transition metal complexes often exist as geometric isomers, in which the same atoms are connected through the same types of bonds but with differences in their orientation in space. Coordination complexes with two different ligands in the cis and trans positions from a ligand of interest form isomers. For example, the octahedral [Co(NH3)4Cl2]+ ion has two isomers (Figure 1) In the cis...
