Manifestation of Intermolecular Interactions in the IR Spectra of 2- and 4-Methylmethcathinones Hydrochlorides: DFT Study and Hirshfeld Surfaces Analysis

Abstract

This paper reports a Hirshfeld surfaces analysis of crystalline 2- and 4-methylmethcathinone 
(2-MMC and 4-MMC) hydrochlorides to analyze NH∙Cl and CH∙∙∙Cl intermolecular interactions and 
approve the formation of the NН2+–Cl– salt fragment in both 2-MMC∙HCl and 4-MMC∙HCl crystals. 
Two isomeric dimers were separated from the corresponding crystal packing to model IR spectra of the 
crystalline 2-MMC∙HCl and 4-MMC∙HCl species within the framework of density functional theory 
(DFT) and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) approach. All observed IR bands were assigned and interpreted in the 
experimental spectra of the 2-MMC∙HCl and 4-MMC∙HCl standard crystal samples representing an 
important aspect of the forensic problem solvation. A detailed analysis of the nature of IR spectra for 
both isomers has shown that intermolecular interactions between the NН2+ and Cl– ionic moieties occur 
in two crystalline samples. The presence of the ionized form of the 2- and 4-MMC∙HCl compounds 
with the NН2+Cl– fragment is a key condition for the correct reproduction of the IR spectra when 
calculating the corresponding dimer structures as a model of a crystalline sample.
