Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface and frontier mol-ecular orbital analysis of 10-benzyl-9-(4-hydroxy-3-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-3,4,6,7,9,10-hexa-hydro-acridine-1,8(2H,5H)-dione.

In the fused ring system of the title mol-ecule, C31H35NO4, the conformation of the central di-hydro-pyridine ring is inter-mediate between boat and envelope with the N and the opposite C atoms lying out of the basal plane. The conformations of terminal rings are close to envelope, with the atoms substituted by two methyl groups as the flaps. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into helical chains. The Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (63.2%), O⋯H/H⋯O (20.1%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (14.4%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations of the frontier mol-ecular orbitals were carried out to characterize the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface and frontier mol-ecular orbital analysis of 9-(3-bromo-4-hy-droxy-5-meth-oxy-phen-yl)-3,3,6,6-tetra-methyl-3,4,5,6,7,9-hexa-hydro-1H-xanthene-1,8(2H)-dione.

In the fused ring system of the title compound, C24H27BrO5, the mean plane and maximum deviations of the central pyran ring are 0.0384 (2) and 0.0733 (2) Å, respectively. The cyclo-hexenone rings both adopt envelope conformations with the tetra-substituted C atoms as flap atoms, whereas the central pyran ring adopts a flattened boat conformation. The central pyran and phenyl substituent rings are almost perpendicular to each other, making a dihedral angle of 89.71 (2)°. In the crystal, pairs of mol-ecules are linked via O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming inversion dimers with an R 2 2(20) ring motif. A Hirshfeld surface analysis indicates that the most important contributions to the crystal packing are from H⋯H (50.6%), O⋯H/H⋯O (22.9%) and C⋯H/H⋯C (11.1%) contacts. Quantum chemical calculations for the frontier mol-ecular orbitals were undertaken to determine the chemical reactivity of the title compound.

Synthesis of metal complexes involving Schiff base ligand with methylenedioxy moiety: spectral, thermal, XRD and antimicrobial studies.

Metal complexes of Zn(II), Cd(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Mn(II) Hg(II), and Ag(I) have been synthesized from Schiff base ligand, prepared by the condensation of 3,4-(methylenedioxy)aniline and 5-bromo salicylaldehyde. All the compounds have been characterized by using elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR, UV-Vis, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, mass spectra, powder XRD and thermal analysis (TG/DTA) technique. The elemental analysis suggests the stoichiometry to be 1:1 (metal:ligand). The FT-IR, (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR and UV-Vis spectral data suggest that the ligand coordinate to the metal atom by imino nitrogen and phenolic oxygen as bidentate manner. Mass spectral data further support the molecular mass of the compounds and their structure. Powder XRD indicates the crystalline state and morphology of the ligand and its metal complexes. The thermal behaviors of the complexes prove the presence of lattice as well as coordinated water molecules in the complexes. Melting point supports the thermal stability of all the compounds. The in vitro antimicrobial effects of the synthesized compounds were tested against five bacterial and three fungal species by well diffusion method. Antioxidant activities have also been performed for all the compounds. Metal complexes show more biological activity than the Schiff base.
