    Abstract:
    The selenoanalogue of nicotine has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction methods. The crystals of selenonicotine are isomorphic with the thionicotine homologue and consist of molecules engaged in columnar π⋯π stacking interactions between antiparallely arranged pyridine moieties. These interactions, absent in other crystals containing nicotine fragments, seem to be induced by the presence of a lactam group. The molecular structures in the vacuum of the oxo-, thio- and selenonicotine homologues have been calculated by the DFT method and compared with the available X-ray data. The delocalized structure of thionicotine is stabilized by intramolecular C-H⋯S hydrogen bond, which becomes weaker in the partial zwitterionic resonance structure of selenonicotine in favor of multiple C-H⋯Se intermolecular hydrogen-bonds. The calculated data allow a complete assignment of vibration modes in the solid state FTIR spectra. The (1)H and (13)C NMR chemical shifts were calculated by the GIAO method with B3LYP/6-311G(3df) level. A comparison between experimental and calculated theoretical results indicates that the density functional B3LYP method provided satisfactory results for predicting FTIR, (1)H, (13)C NMR spectra properties.
