MOLECULAR AND CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF O-6-DIMETHYLAMINO-4-(TRICYCLO[3.3.1.13,7]DEC-1-YL) METHYL-1,3,5-TRIAZINE

The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound has been det ermined by X-ray crystallographic studies. The compound crystallizes i n the triclinic space group P1BAR with a = 10.777(8) angstrom, b = 13. 003(9) angstrom, c = 13.045(8) angstrom, alpha = 72.26-degrees-(4), be ta = 104.25-degrees-(5), gamma = 108.87-degrees-(5) and Z = 4. The str ucture was solved by direct methods and full-matrix least-squares refi nement converged to a final R = 0.083 for 2656 observed reflections. T he two independent molecules differ only in orientation of the adamant yl moiety. Both of them utilize the two hydrogens of the amine nitroge n N(7) to make hydrogen bonds linking the molecules into infinite chai ns which are held together by van der Waals interactions. The conforma tion of the substituents at position 6 of the triazine ring is such th at the torsion angle is close to 0-degrees for both independent molecu les of the asymmetric unit.
