acceptors such as P S (Cupertino et al., 1998), C S (Omrani
et al., 2015) and OAr (Ar = aryl) (Sabbaghi et al., 2016) groups.
Thus, the P O group usually dictates the hydrogen-bond
pattern as the best hydrogen-bond acceptor in the molecule.
On the other hand, if there is only one hydrogen-bond donor
in a molecule, it usually selects the P O as a partner to form a
hydrogen-bond interaction. In thiophosphoryl-based com-
pounds with a typical ester O atom (OCP in the C—OCP—P
fragment), there is competition between OCP, with a small
hydrogen-bond acceptor capability, and the P S group
(Sabbaghi et al., 2016).

(S)(OCH3)2, (II) (Scheme 1). The strengths of two kinds of
hydrogen bonds, namely N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀO P in (I) and N—
Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀOCP in (II), were investigated by quantum chemical
calculations. A Hirshfeld surface analysis was performed on
the newly determined structures in order to explore the
intermolecular interactions in the crystal networks.

2.1.1. Synthesis of (I). To a solution of diphenyl phosphoryl
chloride (2.2 mmol) in dry CH3CN (20 ml), a solution of trans-
1,4-diaminocyclohexane (1.1 mmol) and triethylamine
(2.2 mmol) in the same solvent was added and stirred at 273 K.
Stirring was continued for 4 h and then the solvent was
removed in a vacuum. The solid obtained was washed with
distilled water. Colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray
analysis were obtained at room temperature from a CH3OH/
CHCl3 (4:1 v/v) mixture.

Typical examples for a comparison between the hydrogen-
bond-acceptor capability of P Y (Y = O and S) and an ester
O atom, studied using the CSD, are compounds with the
(C—O)2–x(O)x(NH)P(S) and (C—O)2–x(O)x(NH)P(O) skele-
tons (x = 0 and 1). In P(S)-based structures, there is compe-
tition between OCP and P S, with the latter exhibiting a
better hydrogen-bond-acceptor capability, while in P(O)-
based structures, the N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀO P hydrogen bond is predo-
minant (Sabbaghi et al., 2016).
Quantum chemical calculations were also applied to an
evaluation of N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀY P (Y = O and S) hydrogen-bond
strengths, which in a typical N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀS P hydrogen bond
examined is about one-half with respect to N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀO P, e.g.
4.00 kcal molꢁ1 (1 kcal molꢁ1 = 4.184 kJ molꢁ1) in [2,4,6-
(CH3)3C6H2NH]P(S)[OCH2CH3]2 (Torabi Farkhani et al.,
2018) and 6.99 kcal molꢁ1 in [(4-CH3O)C6H4C(O)NH]-
P(O)[NHCH2C6H4(4-CH3)]2 (Taherzadeh et al., 2017).
Furthermore, Shainyan et al. (2010) reported the calculated
hydrogen-bond energies for N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀS and N—Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀO within
the ranges 3.8–6.0 and 4.8–8.6 kcal molꢁ1, respectively, for
some sulfonamide derivatives. The CSD-based analysis
showed the presence of only negligible exceptions for N—
Hꢀ ꢀ ꢀOCP hydrogen bonds in compounds with a (C—
O)2(NH)P(O) skeleton versus a competition between N—

2.1.2. Synthesis of (II). The synthesis of compound (II) has
been reported in the literature, together with IR and NMR
(31P, 1H, 13C) spectroscopic studies, electrochemical behaviour
and interactions with DNA, and this compound was also
proposed as a potential candidate for a DNA-sensing device
(Gholivand et al., 2016). Here, we report the single-crystal
X-ray diffraction analysis and some complementary spectro-
scopic features. Compound (II) was prepared by a procedure
similar to that reported in the literature from the reaction of
dimethyl chlorothiophosphate, 1,4-phenylenediamine and tri-
ethylamine (2:1:2 molar ratio, reaction time 4 h, ice-bath
temperature) in dry CH3CN. Colourless single crystals suitable
for X-ray analysis were obtained at room temperature from a
CH3OH/CHCl3 (4:1 v/v) mixture. The IR and NMR spectra
were re-investigated and the mass spectrum was also recorded.
In the NMR spectra, there are some differences, especially in
the coupling constants of some peaks in the 1H and 13C NMR
spectra. The differences may be due to the higher scan
numbers of experiments applied by us; thus, we report the new
data here. The phosphorus signal is equal to the reported value
(69.55 ppm in the literature, solvent DMSO-d6).
