Abstract:

The crystal structures of two fused pyridine derivatives viz Ethyl 3-amino-6-phenyl-4-tolylfuro[2,3-b]pyridine-2-carboxylate (I) and Ethyl 3-amino-6-phenyl-4-tolylthieno[2,3-b] pyridine-2-carboxylate (II) were optimized by semi-empirical methods using MOPAC2009 program. The geometries optimized for both the structures from Austin Model 1 (AM1) and Parametrization Model 6 (PM6) describe the conformational discrepancy and crystal packing effects. The parametric molecular electrostatic potential (PMEP) calculated by AM1 semi-empirical method describe the involvement of nitrogen and oxygen atoms in the crystal packing interactions in both the structures. The frontier molecular orbitals highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) indicate the intramolecular charge transfer interactions. The HOMED indices computed for the phenyl rings in the structures describe the p-electron delocalization. The linear regression analysis shows good correlation between experimental and theoretical structures.
