Efficient Synthesis, SC-XRD, and Theoretical Studies of -Benzenesulfonylated Pyrimidines: Role of Noncovalent Interaction Influence in Their Supramolecular Network.

Crystalline organic compounds, 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-yl benzenesulfonate (AMPBS) and 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4-yl benzenesulfonate (DAPBS), were prepared via -benzenesulfonylation of 2-amino-6-methylpyrimidin-4-ol 1 and 2,6-diaminopyrimidin-4-ol 2, respectively. The structural interpretations were achieved unambiguously by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) analysis. The Hirshfeld surface study showed that C-H···O, N-H···N, and especially C-H···C hydrogen bond interactions are the key contributors to the intermolecular stabilization in the crystal. Density functional theory (DFT) studies were used to obtain a better understanding of natural bond orbitals (NBOs) and nonlinear optical (NLO) analysis for AMPBS and DAPBS at the B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level. The time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT)/CAM-B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level was employed for frontier molecular orbital analysis of both compounds. DFT-based vibrations for C-H, C=N, N-H, and stretching for C-C were found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. Overall, the theoretical findings were acquired in correspondence to the SC-XRD-based parameters. Intracharge transfer occurred in AMPBS and DAPBS compounds, which was evaluated through FMO activity. Global reactivity indices had been acquired utilizing energies of HOMO-LUMO orbitals. Overall, the theoretical findings related to AMPBS and DAPBS consist of promising correspondence to experimental findings. The theoretical-based study also exhibited that both AMPBS and DAPBS compounds contain promising NLO features.
