Spectral Analysis and Crystal Structures of 4-(4-Methylphenyl)-6-Phenyl-2,3,3a, 4-Tetrahydro-1H-Pyrido[3,2,1-jk]Carbazole and 4-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-6-Phenyl-2,3,3a, 4-Tetrahydro-1H-Pyrido[3,2,1-jk]Carbazole.
The crystal structures of 4-(4-methylphenyl)-6-phenyl-2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (IIa) and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-phenyl-2,3,3a,4-tetrahydro-1H-pyrido[3,2,1-jk]carbazole (IIb) were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound (IIa), C28H25N, crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1, with a = 8.936(2) Å, b = 10.490(1) Å, c = 11.801(1) Å, α = 102.69(5) (°) ,  β = 103.27(3) (°) , γ = 93.80(1) (°) , and Z = 2. The compound (IIb), C28H25NO, crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/a, with a = 11.376(5) Å, b = 14.139(3) Å, c = 13.237(4) Å, β = 97.41(3) (°) , and Z = 4. In both the structures, the pyrido ring adopts a twist boat conformation and the carbazole molecule has the twisted envelope structure with C3 and C13 at the flap. No classical hydrogen bonds are observed in the crystal structures. Details of the preparation, structures, and spectroscopic properties of the new compounds are discussed.
