SHINING A SPOTLIGHT ON AFRICAN RESEARCH

Synthesis, crystal structure at 219 K and Hirshfeld surface analyses of 1,4,6-trimethylquinoxaline-2,3(1H,4H)-dione monohydrate

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, Volume 76, Year 2020

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C11H12N2O2·H2O, contains a molecule of 1,4,6-trimethyl-1,4-dihydroquinoxaline-2,3-dione and a solvent water molecule. Four atoms of the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.706 (7):0.294 (7) ratio while the N-bound methyl groups are rotationally disordered with occupancy ratios of 0.78 (4):0.22 (4) and 0.76 (5):0.24 (5). In the crystal, molecules are linked by O-H..O and C-H..O hydrogen bonds into layers lying parallel to (10). The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the packing arrangement are due to H..H (51.3%) and O..H/H..O (28.6%) interactions. The molecular structure calculated by density functional theory is compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure, and the HOMO-LUMO energy gap has been calculated.
