Crystal structure and Hirshfeld surface analysis of 2,4,6,11-tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl)-9-oxa-1,5-diazatricyclo[5.3.1.03.8]undecane

Abstract

The title compound, C32H26F4N2O, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with four molecules in the unit cell. The compound was prepared by the NaBH4 reduction of 4,8,9,10-tetrakis(4-fluorophenyl)-1,3-diazaadamantan-6-one in chloroform and ethanol as solvent. The piperidine rings exhibit chair and boat conformations, and all four fluorophenyl groups are oriented in the equatorial direction. The crystal structure features C—H...F hydrogen bonds, C—H...π, N—H...π and π–π interactions. Hirshfeld surface and two-dimensional fingerprint analysis show that van der Waals interactions constitute a major contribution to the intermolecular interactions, with H...H contacts accounting for 37.9% of the surface.
