3,3-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-(4-nitrobenzoyl)thiourea: crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and computational study.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: In the title compound, C12H15N3O5S, a trisubstituted thiourea derivative, the central CN2S chromophore is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018?Å) and the pendant hydroxyethyl groups lie to either side of this plane. While to a first approximation the thione-S and carbonyl-O atoms lie to the same side of the molecule, the S—C—N—C torsion angle of ?47.8?(2)° indicates a considerable twist. As one of the hydroxyethyl groups is orientated towards the thioamide residue, an intramolecular N—H?O hydrogen bond is formed which leads to an S(7) loop. A further twist in the molecule is indicated by the dihedral angle of 65.87?(7)° between the planes through the CN2S chromophore and the 4-nitrobenzene ring. There is a close match between the experimental and gas-phase, geometry-optimized (DFT) molecular structures. In the crystal, O—H?O and O—H?S hydrogen bonds give rise to supramolecular layers propagating in the ab plane. The connections between layers to consolidate the three-dimensional architecture are of the type C—H?O, C—H?S and nitro-O??. The nature of the supramolecular association has been further analysed by a study of the calculated Hirshfeld surfaces, non-covalent interaction plots and computational chemistry, all of which point to the significant influence and energy of stabilization provided by the conventional hydrogen bonds.
