The crystallization of two dihydropyridyl molecules, 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)benzene ([C40H24N10]·2DMF, 1·2DMF; DMF = dimethylformamide) and 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)phenylbenzene ([C46H28N10]·2DMF, 3·2DMF), and their respective oxidized pyridyl analogues, 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)benzene ([C40H20N10], 2) and 1,4-bis(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)phenylbenzene ([C46H24N10]·DMF, 4·DMF), has been achieved under solvothermal conditions. The dihydropyridyl molecules are converted to their pyridyl products via in situ oxidative dehydrogenation in solution. The structures of the four molecules have been fully characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The oxidized pyridyl products, 2 and 4, are more elongated due to aromatization of the dihydropyridyl rings at each end of their parent molecules 1 and 3, respectively. The solid-state supramolecular structures of the pyridyl molecules are distinct from the dihydropyridyl molecules in terms of their hierarchical assembly via hydrogen bonding due to the loss of primary N–H hydrogen bond donors in the two electron oxidized tectons. Overall, the geometrically shorter molecules 1 and 3 display close-packed structures, whereas the more extended 2 and 4 assemble into more open supramolecular systems.
两种二氢吡啶分子的结晶,即 1,4-双(4-(3,5-二氰基-2,6-二吡啶基)二氢吡啶)苯([C40H24N10]-2DMF,1-2DMF;DMF=二甲基甲酰胺)和 1,4-双(4-(3,5-二氰基-2,6-二吡啶基)二氢吡啶基)苯([C46H28N10]-2DMF,3-2DMF),以及它们各自的氧化吡啶类似物 1,4-双(4-(3、2)和 1,4-双(4-(3,5-二氰基-2,6-二吡啶基)吡啶基)苯基苯([C46H24N10]-DMF,4-DMF)。二氢吡啶分子在溶液中通过原位氧化脱氢转化为吡啶产物。四种分子的结构已通过单晶和粉末 X 射线衍射得到了全面表征。由于母分子 1 和 3 两端的二氢吡啶环分别发生芳香化作用,氧化后的吡啶产物 2 和 4 更加细长。由于两个电子氧化结构体中失去了主要的 N-H 氢键供体,因此吡啶分子的固态超分子结构与二氢吡啶分子不同,它们是通过氢键进行分层组装的。总体而言,几何长度较短的分子 1 和分子 3 显示出紧密堆积的结构,而较长的分子 2 和分子 4 则组装成更为开放的超分子体系。
