To compare the structural properties of oxalamide and thiooxalamide groups in the formation of hydrogen bonds suitable for supramolecular assemblies a series of retropeptides was studied. Some of them, having oxalamide bridges, are gelators of organic solvents and water. However, retropeptides with oxygen replaced by the sp
2 sulfur have not exhibited such properties. The crystal structures of the two title compounds are homostructural, i.e. they have similar packing arrangements. The monothio compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit arranged in a hydrogen-bond network with an approximate 41 axis along the crystallographic b axis. However, the dithio and dioxo analogues crystallize in the tetragonal space group P41 with similar packing patterns and hydrogen-bonding systems arranged in agreement with a crystallographic 41 axis. Thus, these two analogues are isostructural having closely related hydrogen-bonding patterns in spite of the different size and polarity of oxygen and sulfur which serve as the proton acceptors.
为了比较草酰胺基团和硫代草酰胺基团在形成适合超分子组装的氢键方面的结构特性,我们研究了一系列反肽。其中一些具有草酰胺桥的逆肽是有机溶剂和水的凝胶剂。然而,氧被 sp
2 硫所取代的逆肽却没有表现出这种特性。两种标题化合物的晶体结构是同结构的,即它们具有相似的堆积排列。一硫代化合物在正交空间群 P212121 中结晶,不对称单元中的两个分子排列成氢键网络,其近似的 41 轴沿晶体学 b 轴。然而,二硫代和二氧代类似物在四方空间群 P41 中结晶,具有类似的堆积模式和氢键系统,其排列与晶体学 41 轴一致。因此,尽管作为质子接受体的氧和硫的大小和极性不同,但这两种类似物结构相同,氢键模式密切相关。
