Modification of the supramolecular structure of [(thione)IY] (Y = Cl, Br) systems by cooperation of strong halogen bonds and hydrogen bonds
2015
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…

PyridiniumD(+)-10-camphorsulfonate hemihydrate
2002
In the crystal structure of pyridinium d(+)-10-camphorsulfonate hemihydrate, C5H6N+·C10H15O4S−·0.5H2O, a water molecule lying on a twofold axis serves as a donor of two hydrogen bonds, thus linking two camphorsulfonate anions. Each anion in its turn acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor for the NH group of a pyridinium cation.
Temperature-dependent polymorphism of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide 3-oxide: experimental and theoretical studies on int…
2014
X-ray analysis of N-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,5-dimethyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxamide 3-oxide reveals the temperature-dependent polymorphism associated with the crystallographic symmetry conversion. The observed crystal structure transformation corresponds to a symmetry reduction from I41 /a (I) to P43 (II) space groups. The phase transition mainly concerns the subtle but clearly noticeable reorganization of molecules in the crystal space, with the structure of individual molecules left almost unchanged. The Hirshfeld surface analysis shows that various intermolecular contacts play an important role in the crystal packing, revealing graphically the differences in spatial arrangements of the molecule…
3-Oxa-6,8-diaza-1,2:4,5-dibenzocycloocta-1,4-dien-7-one: a three-dimensional network assembled by hydrogen-bonding, pi-pi and edge-to-face interactio…
2003
The title compound, C(13)H(10)N(2)O(2), is the first structure in which the urea moiety is incorporated into an eight-membered ring. Two molecules are found in the asymmetric unit, which are almost identical in their conformation and their hydrogen-bond pattern. The carbonyl O atom acts as a double acceptor for the NH groups of two adjacent molecules. In this way, infinite tapes are formed, which are connected via pi-pi and edge-to-face interactions in the second and third dimension. This hierarchical order of interactions is confirmed by molecular mechanics calculations. Force-field and semi-empirical calculations for a single molecule did not find the envelope conformation present in the …
A computational and conceptual DFT study on the mechanism of hydrogen activation by novel frustrated Lewis pairs.
2015
A computational and conceptual density functional theory (DFT) study on the mechanism of molecular hydrogen activation by a set of three frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) was performed at the ωB97X-D/6-311G(d,p) level of theory. A reduced model and other two prototypes derived from experimental data, based on the donor nitrogen and acceptor boron atoms, were used. Analysis based on the energy results, geometries and the global electron density transfer at the TSs made it possible to obtain some interesting conclusions: (i) despite the well-known very low reactivity of molecular hydrogen, the catalytic effectiveness of the three FLPs produces reactions with almost unappreciable activation energi…
Fumarate respiration of Wolinella succinogenes: enzymology, energetics and coupling mechanism.
2002
Wolinella succinogenes performs oxidative phosphorylation with fumarate instead of O2 as terminal electron acceptor and H2 or formate as electron donors. Fumarate reduction by these donors ('fumarate respiration') is catalyzed by an electron transport chain in the bacterial membrane, and is coupled to the generation of an electrochemical proton potential (Deltap) across the bacterial membrane. The experimental evidence concerning the electron transport and its coupling to Deltap generation is reviewed in this article. The electron transport chain consists of fumarate reductase, menaquinone (MK) and either hydrogenase or formate dehydrogenase. Measurements indicate that the Deltap is generat…
Direct involvement of acid centers of polyaniline in charge transfer on organic acceptor
1996
Abstract Electrochemical behavior of hydroquinone and 4F-hydroquinone has been studied on Pt/polyaniline (PANI) electrodes in 1 M H 2 SO 4 solution. Redox transformation of quinone/hydroquinone systems takes place on PANI practically without overpotential and, probably, the two-electron charge transfer processes are realized in such systems. Reaction currents depend on PANI quantities deposited on the Pt electrode and the molecular complex is formed. There exists a great electronic exchange between acid centers of PANI and quinone/hydroquinone molecules, resulting in electronic conjugation of this surface state (adsorbed molecule) with the polymer. Existence of such complexes was confirmed …
New Internal-Charge-Transfer Second-Order Nonlinear Optical Chromophores Based on the Donor Ferrocenylpyrazole Moiety
2016
A series of new N-arylated ferrocenepyrazole structures, carrying different donor or acceptor substituents in the para position of the aryl ring, has been synthesized by the Chan-Lam cross-coupling reaction. The nonplanar geometric molecular structure of some of these chromophores together with their crystal packing was determined by X-ray diffraction, and the HOMO and LUMO energy levels were evaluated by electrochemical and optical measurements and by density functional theoretical (DFT) calculations. By the investigation of solvent effects and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations, the intense electronic absorption band around 270-310 nm was confirmed to be an internal-chargetransfer (…
Spectroscopic and theoretical study of push-pull chromophores containing thiophene-based quinonoid structures as electron spacers
2003
Donor−acceptor chromophores containing three different types of thiophene-based electron spacers and the same donor (1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene) and acceptor (dicyanomethylene) end groups have been investigated by infrared and vis-near-IR absorption spectroscopies with the aim of elucidating the ability of the heteroquinonoid spacers as electron transmitters. Density functional theory calculations have been carried out, both within the standard and the time-dependent formalisms, to assign the most relevant electronic and infrared features of these chromophores and to assess useful information about their molecular structures. Both theoretical calculations and vibrational spectra demonstrate the …
