| Summary: | The title compound, C15H14N2O2, consists of pyrrole and benzodiazepine units linked to a propargyl moiety, where the pyrrole and diazepine rings adopt half-chair and boat conformations, respectively. The absolute configuration was assigned on the the basis of l-proline, which was used in the synthesis of benzodiazepine. In the crystal, weak C—HBnz...ODiazp and C—HProprg...ODiazp (Bnz = benzene, Diazp = diazepine and Proprg = propargyl) hydrogen bonds link the molecules into two-dimensional networks parallel to the bc plane, enclosing R44(28) ring motifs, with the networks forming oblique stacks along the a-axis direction. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H...H (49.8%), H...C/C...H (25.7%) and H...O/O...H (20.1%) interactions. Hydrogen bonding and van der Waals interactions are the dominant interactions in the crystal packing. Computational chemistry indicates that in the crystal, C—H...O hydrogen-bond energies are 38.8 (for C—HBnz...ODiazp) and 27.1 (for C—HProprg...ODiazp) kJ mol−1. Density functional theory (DFT) optimized structures at the B3LYP/6–311 G(d,p) level are compared with the experimentally determined molecular structure in the solid state. The HOMO–LUMO behaviour was elucidated to determine the energy gap.
