Abstract
The title compound N,N′-bis(p-tolylsulfonyl)diethylenetriamine (1) was synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray diffraction. Adjacent molecules of 1, symmetrically related through a c-glide, are linked by alternating hydrogen bonds that form molecular chains along [0 0 1]. Two molecular chains occur in each unit cell and pack to form alternating layers in a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The compound crystallizes in the Pca21 space group stabilized by the inclusion of solvent dichloromethane molecules in structural voids between molecules of 1. The dichloromethane molecules are related through a twofold screw rotation axis and are not disordered.
Index Abstract
Intermolecular hydrogen bonds involving sulfonamide moieties of title compound afford a supramoleular structure that accommodates the inclusion of dichloromethane in alternating layers.
