Abstract
The VCD spectra of chiral 2,3-dihydro-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-1-one (8-substituted naphthalene-1-carboxamide, BIQ) were studied in KBr pellets. The X-ray diffractometry revealed that the Me, Ph, and pClPh BIQs crystalize in the monoclinic P21, while nBu, pMePh, and oMeOPh BIQs in the orthorhombic P212121 space group. Only the Me-BIQ crystal exhibits the presence of cyclic amide dimers, while the others contain chains of the amid group hydrogen bonds. For all BIQs, except pMePh, the most intense IR band in the 1750–1550 cm−1 region is located at ca. 1680 cm−1 and is accompanied by two weak ones at ca. 1618 and 1590 cm−1. For the pMePh derivative, four almost equally intense IR bands at 1662, 1639, 1614, and 1588 cm−1 are observed. This region of the IR spectra of BIQs, but pMePh, is well reproduced by calculations based on BIQ monomers. On the other hand, the complex IR pattern of pMePh is computationally reproduced when larger crystal fragments, like octamers, are considered. Registration of the VCD spectra enabled recognizing the complexity of IR contours at ca. 1680 cm−1 by the corresponding VCD motives. For (i) Me, Ph and pClPh (R)-enantiomers, two (+)(–) bands were distinguished and for (ii) nBu and pMePh ones, one VCD band with right-side asymmetry was found. For (iii) oMeOPh the VCD pattern cannot be unambiguously assigned. Thus, the VCD spectra in the ν(C=O) range diverse the studied compounds. Among the set of molecules, pMePh has exceptional crystal geometry. Therefore, its most intense ν(C=O) band position and shape can be connected with the geometry of the hydrogen bonds, interactions, and crystal packing. Interpretation of the VCD spectra is based on linear and packed BIQ octamers. This cluster model can reproduce the main features of the solid-state VCD of BIQs.
