The title coumarin derivative, C20H14N2O3, displays intramolecular N—H...O and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which probably contribute to the approximate planarity of the molecule [dihedral angle between the coumarin and quinoline ring systems = 6.08 (6)°]. The supramolecular structures feature C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions, as confirmed by Hirshfeld surface analyses.

Three coumarin derivatives, viz. 6-methyl-N-(3-methylphenyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO3 (1), N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO4 (2), and 6-methoxy-N-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide, C18H15NO5 (3), were synthesized and structurally characterized. The molecules display intramolecular N—H...O and weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds, which probably contribute to the approximate planarity of the molecules. The supramolecular structures feature C—H...O hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions, as confirmed by Hirshfeld surface analyses.

The crystal structures of five 6-mercaptopurine derivatives, viz. 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(3-methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (1), C16H14N4O3S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethan-1-one (2), C16H14N4O3S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethan-1-one (3), C15H11ClN4O2S, 2-[(9-acetyl-9H-purin-6-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(4-bromophenyl)ethan-1-one (4), C15H11BrN4O2S, and 1-(3-methoxyphenyl)-2-[(9H-purin-6-yl)sulfanyl]ethan-1-one (5), C14H12N4O2S. Compounds (2), (3) and (4) are isomorphous and accordingly their molecular and supramolecular structures are similar. An analysis of the dihedral angles between the purine and exocyclic phenyl rings show that the molecules of (1) and (5) are essentially planar but that in the case of the three isomorphous compounds (2), (3) and (4), these rings are twisted by a dihedral angle of approximately 38°. With the exception of (1) all molecules are linked by weak C—H...O hydrogen bonds in their crystals. There is π–π stacking in all compounds. A Cambridge Structural Database search revealed the existence of 11 deposited compounds containing the 1-phenyl-2-sulfanylethanone scaffold; of these, only eight have a cyclic ring as substituent, the majority of these being heterocycles.

The energetic and structural study of three diphenylpyridine isomers is presented in detail. The three isomers, 2,6-, 2,5-, and 3,5-diphenylpyridines, were synthesized via Suzuki−Miyaura methodology based on palladium catalysis, and the crystal structures of the isomers were obtained by X-ray diffraction. The relative energetic stabilities in the condensed and gaseous phases as well as volatilities and structures of the three studied isomers were evaluated, regarding the position of the phenyl groups relative to the nitrogen atom of the pyridine ring. The temperature, standard molar enthalpies, and entropies of fusion were measured and derived by differential scanning calorimetry. The vapor pressures of the considered isomers were determined by a static apparatus based on a MKS capacitance diaphragm manometer. The standard molar enthalpies, entropies, and Gibbs energies of sublimation, at T= 298.15 K, were derived, and the phase diagram near the triple point coordinates were determined for all isomers. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of combustion of all crystalline isomers were determined, at T= 298.15 K, by static bomb combustion calorimetry. The standard molar enthalpies of formation, in the crystalline and gaseous phases, at T= 298.15 K, were derived. The experimental results for the energetics in the gaseous phase of the three compounds were compared and assessed with the values obtained by ab initio calculations at different levels of theory (DFT and MP2) showing that, at this level of theory, the computational methods underestimate the energetic stability, in the gaseous phase, for these molecules. In order to understand the aromaticity in the central ring of each isomer, calculations of NICS (B3LYP/6-311G++(d,p) level of theory) values on the pyridine ring were also performed.

The standard (p00.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of combustion of six aminomethylbenzoic acids were measured at T298.15 K by static bomb calorimetry. With these values, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the crystalline state were obtained. Combining these results with the standard molar enthalpies of sublimation, the standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gaseous phase were derived. For the 10 possible isomers, the obtained experimental results were compared to and correlated with the relative stability obtained by ab initio calculations at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. Seeking a better understanding of the aromatic behavior and energetics of aminomethylbenzoic acids in the gas phase, calculations of NICS values, HOMA indices, and dihedral angles between the aromatic carbon and the amino group, (Ar−NHH), were also performed computationally. The significant differences observed in the energetics, as well as in the NICS values, HOMA indices, and (Ar−NHH) dihedral angles for these 10 isomers suggest a strong dependency on the identity and relative position of the three substituents on the benzene ring. This study points out a marked tendency for a decrease of the ring aromaticity, accompanied by an increase in the respective system stability, as the conjugation between the substituents becomes more extensive.
