Molecular and crystal properties of ethyl 4,6-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate from experimental and theoretical electron densities

Abstract: The electron density and electronic energy densities in ethyl 4,6-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate have been studied from accurate X-ray diffraction measurements at 110 K and theoretical single-molecule and periodic crystal calculations. The Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules and Crystals (QTAMC) was applied to analyze the electron-density and electronic energy-density features to estimate their reproducibility in molecules and crystals. It was found that the local electron-densit… Show more

“…Unfortunately, the uncertainty of 1% is too large to allow determination of intermolecular interaction energies in crystalline -N 2 O 4 . This conclusion is in agreement with other QTAIMC estimates of electronic energy in crystals (Tsirelson et al, 2006;Zhurova, Stash et al, 2006).…”

“…A similar observation has been previously reported for N-O and C-O bonds (Flaig et al, 1998;Wagner & Luger, 2001;Zhurova, Stash et al, 2006;Zhurova, Matta et al, 2006). The disagreement is a consequence of insufficient flexibility of the Hansen-Coppens multipole model in describing the covalent bonds formed by atoms with more than half-filled valence electron subshells (Tsirelson et al, 2006(Tsirelson et al, , 2007Volkov et al, 2000;Dominiak & Coppens, 2006). At the same time, the theoretical ED presented in terms of the Hansen-Coppens multipole model yields BCP parameters which are very close to the experimental ones (see line 2 of Table 2).…”

“…As there is satisfactory agreement in the trend in the properties at the CP from theory and experiment, the following discussion is based on the experi-mentally determined values. The only significant differences are between values of the Laplacian obtained from the multipole model and theory, as has been previously discussed (Bianchi et al, 1996;Spackman et al, 1999;Flaig et al, 2002;Volkov et al, 2004;Zhurova et al, 2004;Henn et al, 2004;Tsirelson et al, 2006).…”

“…Indeed, the similarities of the properties of the N-N, C-N and C-C bonds in terms of the electron density and ellipticity suggest total conjugation. However, when calculating topological bond orders from the electron density values () and the principle electron-density curvatures ( 1 , 2 , 3 ) at the bond critical points (Table 3a) (Bartashevich et al, 2006;Tsirelson et al, 2006;Howard & Lamarche, 2003), the C-N bonds are seen to have significantly lower order that the others in the five-membered rings. Although Butcher et al (2003c) noted small differences in bond lengths in the five-membered rings, there is no obvious correlation with the properties of the bond-critical points.…”

“…The experimental values of the electron density and its Laplacian are in good agreement with their theoretical values for single molecule and the dimers obtained by the wave function calculations by AIM2000. The di erences between the experimental and theoretical values of r 2 (r) in some cases are related to the de ciency of the multipole model description of the electron density [21,22]. The experimental properties of the strongly polarized bond are di erent from the results derived by ab initio calculations.…”
