From small structural modifications to adjustment of structurally dependent properties: 1-methyl-3,5-bis[(E)-2-thienylidene]-4-piperidone and 3,5-bis[(E)-5-bromo-2-thienylidene]-1-methyl-4-piperidone.

ABSTRACT: The molecules of the title compounds, C(16)H(15)NOS(2), (I), and C(16)H(13)Br(2)NOS(2), (II), are E,E-isomers and consist of an extensive conjugated system, which determines their molecular geometries. Compound (I) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c. It has one thiophene ring disordered over two positions, with a minor component contribution of 0.100 (3). Compound (II) crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric orthorhombic space group Pca2(1) with two independent molecules in the unit cell. These molecules are related by a noncrystallographic pseudo-inversion center and possess very similar geometries. The crystal packings of (I) and (II) have a topologically common structural motif, viz. stacks along the b axis, in which the molecules are bound by weak C-H...O hydrogen bonds. The noncentrosymmetric packing of (II) is governed by attractive intermolecular Br...Br and Br...N interactions, which are also responsible for the very high density of (II) (1.861 Mg m(-3)).
