The single crystal belongs to monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 13.538(1), b = 3.912(1), c = 23.778(1)A°, β = 105.232(5)o, Mr = 857.08, V = 1214.9(1) A°^3, Z = 2, Dc = 2.343 g/cm^3, F(000) = 824, μ = 8.375 mm^–1, R = 0.0566, and w R = 0.1610.

The title compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, space group C2/c with a = 31.87(3), b = 7.705(9), c = 12.591(14) A°, b = 106.06(2)°, V = 2971(6) A°^3, Z = 8, Dc=1.530 g·cm^-1, F(000) = 1392, m = 0.266 mm^–1, S = 1.06, the final R = 0.070 and w R(I 〉 2s(I)) = 0.249. The crystal structure revealed that the carbonyl thiourea unit in the determined compound was mostly planar due in part to the formation of intramolecular N–H···O=C and C–H···S=C hydrogen bonds that form two S(6) rings. The intermolecular contacts of the crystal structure have been preformed based on the Hirshfeld surface and their associated 2D fingerprint plots. In the packing diagram of the synthesized compound, the C=S group formed two types of intermolecular hydrogen bonds by the H–N(C=O) group and the H–C of the phenyl ring, respectively, and they formed R2^2(8) and R2^2(14) ring motifs, respectively. The crystal packing form was also stabilized by the intermolecular hydrogen bonds C–H···O(1–x, y, 0.5–z) with the R2^2(10) ring motifs. In addition, supramolecular layers sustained by π-π stacking interactions(between the C(2)~C(7) rings with the C(10)~C(15) rings) are formed in the crystal structure of the title compound. The electronic and reactivity were assessed by the natural bond orbital(NBO) analysis in this study.展开更多

Thus, the complex was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, spectroscopic techniques(Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman) and 19F MAS NMR. The elemental analysis of the sample was also carried out. The chiral inorganic sheets, which stacked along [100] showed the presence of FeF2O4 as well as FeF2O3H2O octahedra, PO4 besides HPO4 tetrahedra, hydronium ions(H3O+) and isolated water molecules. Hirshfeld surface analysis, especially dnom surface and fingerprint plots, were used for decoding the intermolecular interactions in the crystal network and the contribution of component units for the construction of the 3D architecture. From the Hirshfeld surfaces and 2D fingerprint analysis, it was found that the subtle interactions, such as H...H associating the third intense interaction of all intercontacts, provide extra stabilization in addition to the presence of the strong hydrogen bonds mentioned above.展开更多
