Abstract
The correlation between the structure and the spectroscopic properties of N-methylcodeinium iodide ( 1) has been studied, using the methods of single crystal X-ray diffraction, IR-LD spectroscopy of oriented samples as a suspension in nematic liquid crystals, UV–vis spectroscopy and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. HPLC tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC ESI MS/MS) and thermal methods were also employed. Quantum chemical calculations have been performed with a view to obtaining the electronic structure and vibrational properties of the title compound. Compound ( 1) crystallizes in the space group P2 12 12 1 and its cations and anions are joined by moderate intermolecular OH…I − interaction of length 3.442 Å. The codeine molecule exhibits the classical T-shape for opiates. A dihedral angle value of 86.4(5)° between the A/B/C and D/E planes is obtained. Rings A and B are effectively coplanar with an interplanar angle of 3.6(3)°.
