Tunable Interaction Strength and Nature of the S···Br Halogen Bonds in [(Thione)Br2] Systems
The strength and nature of the S···Br and Br···Br interactions were systematically tuned by altering the electron donor properties of the thione group. Three new halogen-bonded compounds, [(N-methylbenzothiazole-2-thione)Br2]·0.5CH2Cl2 (1), [(2(3H)-benzothiazolethione)Br2] (2), and [(2-benzimidazolethione)Br]·[Br3] (3), were synthesized and studied structurally by using X-ray crystallography and computationally by using charge density analysis based on QTAIM calculations. Analysis of the interaction strength indicated a formation of surprisingly strong S···Br halogen bonds in 1 (−104 kJ mol–1, and RBrS = 0.64) and 2 (−116 kJ mol–1, and RBrS = 0.63) with a substantial covalent contribution. …
Inter- and intramolecular non-covalent interactions in 1-methylimidazole-2-carbaldehyde complexes of copper, silver, and gold
Abstract Three new imidazole compounds, [CuBr2(mimc)2] (1), [Ag(mimc)2][CF3SO3] (2), and [AuCl3(mimc)] (3) (mimc = 1-methylimidazole-2-carbaldehyde), have been synthesized, structurally characterized, and further analyzed using the QTAIM analysis. The compounds exhibit self-assembled 3D networks arising from intermolecular non-covalent interactions such as metallophilic interactions, metal-π contacts, halogens–halogen interactions, and hydrogen bonds. These weak interactions have a strong impact on the coordination sphere of the metal atoms and on the packing of compounds 1, 2, and 3.
Role of C–H···Au and Aurophilic Supramolecular Interactions in Gold–Thione Complexes
The role of noncovalent gold–hydrogen and aurophilic interactions in the formation of extended molecular systems of gold complexes was studied. Three new gold compounds with a heterocyclic thione ligand N-methylbenzothiazole-2-thione (mbtt), namely, [AuCl(mbtt)] (1), [AuBr(mbtt)] (2), and [Au(mbtt)2][AuI2]1–n[I3]n (3), were synthesized and characterized. The halide ligand had a considerable effect on the complex structures and thus to noncovalent contacts. Intermolecular C–H···Au and aurophilic Au···Au contacts were the dominant noncovalent interactions in structures 1–3 determining the supramolecular arrays of the gold complexes. In 1 and 2, unusual intermolecular C–H···Au gold–hydrogen co…
Persistence of oxidation state III of gold in thione coordination
Ligands N,N'-tetramethylthiourea and 2-mercapto-1-methyl-imidazole form stable Au(III) complexes [AuCl3(N,N'-tetramethylthiourea)] (1) and [AuCl3(2-mercapto-1-methyl-imidazole)] (2) instead of reducing the Au(III) metal center into Au(I), which would be typical for the attachment of sulfur donors. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by spectroscopic methods and by X-ray crystallography. The spectroscopic details were explained by simulation of the UV-Vis spectra via the TD-DFT method. Additionally, computational DFT studies were performed in order to find the reason for the unusual oxidation state in the crystalline materials. The preference for Au(III) can be explained via various weak in…
Modification of the supramolecular structure of [(thione)IY] (Y = Cl, Br) systems by cooperation of strong halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds
Four interhalogen complexes of heterocyclic thione ligands N-methylbenzothiazole-2-thione (mbtt) and 2(3)H-benzothiazole-thione (btt) with strong and tunable S⋯I halogen bonds were synthesized and characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction. The study of the strength and nature of the interactions was supported by computational analysis using the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). Halogen bond and hydrogen bond directed self-assemblies of thione compounds were efficiently modified by the changes in the halogen bond donor and acceptor structures. In structures [(mbtt)ICl] (1) and [(mbtt)IBr] (2) the interplay of halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds between the thione hydrogens a…
Benzothiazolethione complexes of coinage metals: from mononuclear complexes to clusters and polymers
Abstract The reactions of 2(3H)-benzothiazolethione (Hbtt) with [AuCl(tetrahydrothiophene)] and CuBr2 were studied, and found to yield a tetranuclear cluster compound [Au(btt)]4 [1] and a polymeric structure [CuBr(btt-btt)]n.nTHF (2). Crystallographic and spectroscopic methods were used for the characterization. In 1, the monoanionic ligand acted as a bidentate bridging N,S-donor giving a molecular cluster structure of an asymmetric coordination isomer. In the formation of 2, the ligand was dimerized by forming a S–S bond after deprotonation, and coordination via nitrogen donors to metal atoms took place leading to a polymeric structure. To clarify the diversity of reactions of Hbtt with co…
Halogen bonds with coordinative nature: halogen bonding in a S–I+–S iodonium complex†
A detailed study of unexpectedly strong iodonium–sulfur halogen bonds in [I(2-imidazolidinethione)2]+ is presented. The interactions are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, charge density analysis based on QTAIM calculations, mass spectrometry, and NMR spectroscopy. The results, small RIS = 0.7 and high interaction energy of −60 kJ mol−1, support a coordinative nature of the halogen bond between the iodonium ion and the sp2 hybridized sulfur atoms.
