5-amino-1-(phenyl/p-halophenyl)imidazole-4-carboxamides (N-phenyl AICA) (2a-e) and 5-amino-1-(phenyl/p-halophenyl)imidazole-4-carbonitriles (N-phenyl AICN) (3a-e) had been synthesized. X-ray crystallographic studies of 2a-e and 3a-e had been performed to identify any distinct change in stacking patterns in their crystal lattice. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of 2a-e revealed π-π stack formations with both imidazole and phenyl/p-halophenyl units in anti and syn parallel-displaced (PD)-type dispositions. No π-π stacking of imidazole occurred when the halogen substituent is bromo or iodo; π-π stacking in these cases occurred involving phenyl rings only. The presence of an additional T-stacking had been observed in crystal lattices of 3a-e. Vertical π-π stacking distances in anti-parallel PD-type arrangements as well as T-stacking distances had shown stacking distances short enough to impart stabilization whereas syn-parallel stacking arrangements had got much larger π-π stacking distances to belie any syn-parallel stacking stabilization. DFT studies had been pursued for quantifying the π-π stacking and T-stacking stabilization. The plotted curves for anti-parallel and T-stacked moieties had similarities to the ‘Morse potential energy curve for diatomic molecule’. The minima of the curves corresponded to the most stable stacking distances and related energy values indicated stacking stabilization. Similar DFT studies on syn-parallel systems of 2b corresponded to no π-π stacking stabilization at all. Halogen-halogen interactions had also been observed to stabilize the compounds 2d, 2e and 3d. Nano-structural behaviour of the series of compounds 2a-e and 3a-e were thoroughly investigated.
