Structural insight from intermolecular interactions and energy framework analyses of 2-substituted 6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-ones.

The crystal structures of three mackinazolinone derivatives (2-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one at room temperature, and 2-nitro-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-11H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-11-one and N-(11-oxo-6,8,9,11-tetrahydro-7H-pyrido[2,1-b]quinazolin-2-yl)benzamide at 100 K) are explored using X-ray crystallography. To delineate the different intermolecular interactions and the respective interaction energies in the crystal architectures, energy framework analyses were carried out using the CE-B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) method implemented in the CrystalExplorer software. In the structures the different molecules are linked by C-H.
