A polar/π model of interactions explains face-to-face stacked quinoid rings: a case study of the crystal of potassium hydrogen chloranilate dihydrate

2015

International audience; The nature of interactions between face-to-face staggered stacked quinoid rings with pi-systems, observed with a short inter-ring centroid. centroid distance, is analyzed by experimental and theoretical methods. Charge density studies based on X-ray diffraction and DFT calculations, complemented by impedance spectroscopy, were employed to define the electronic and structural characteristics of the quinoid rings responsible for their interactions within the crystal packing. The crystal packing is mainly stabilized by strong electrostatic interactions between the K+ cation and the hydrogen chloranilate anion. The proximity and orientation of the stacked quinoid rings i…

Equipping metallo-supramolecular macrocycles with functional groups: Assemblies of pyridine-substituted urea ligands

2012

A series of di-(m-pyridyl)-urea ligands were prepared and characterized with respect to their conformations by NOESY experiments and crystallography. Methyl substitution in different positions of the pyridine rings provides control over the position of the pyridine N atoms relative to the urea carbonyl group. The ligands were used to self-assemble metallo-supramolecular M(2)L(2) and M(3)L(3) macrocycles which are generated in a finely balanced equilibrium in DMSO and DMF according to DOSY NMR experiments and ESI FTICR mass spectrometry. Again, crystallography was used to characterize the assemblies. Methyl substitution in positions next to the pyridine nitrogen prevents coordination, while …

A family of heterotetrameric clusters of chloride species and halomethanes held by two halogen and two hydrogen bonds

2016

Two previously reported 1,3,5,7,9-pentaazanona-1,3,6,8-tetraenate (PANT) chloride platinum(II) complexes [PtCl{HNC(R)NCN[C(Ph)C(Ph)]CNC(R)NH}] (R = tBu 1, Ph 2) form solvates with halomethanes 1·1¼CH2Cl2, 1·1⅖CH2Br2, and 2·CHCl3. All these species feature novel complex-solvent heterotetrameric clusters, where the structural units are linked simultaneously by two C–X⋯Cl–Pt (X = Cl, Br) halogen and two C–H⋯Cl–Pt hydrogen bonds. The geometric parameters of these weak interactions were determined using single-crystal XRD, and the natures of the XBs and HBs in the clusters were studied for the isolated model systems (1)2·(CH2Cl2)2, (1)2·(CH2Br2)2, and (2)2·(CHCl3)2 using DFT calculations and Bad…

Cooperative H-bonds, π⋯π and anion⋯π interactions as driving forces in the construction of novel Cu(II) bis(imidazol-2-yl) supramolecular 3D framewor…

2019

Abstract Two new Cu(II) complexes with bis(2-imidazolyl) based ligands, with the formula [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2]·2H2O (BIM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methane) and [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2](BF4)4·2H2O (BIMAM = bis(2-imidazol-2-yl)methylaminomethane) have been synthesized and characterized. Both compounds contain mononuclear entities as molecular building blocks (MBBs); neutral [Cu(BIM)2(SCN)2] in compound 1 and cationic [Cu(HBIMAM)2(OH2)2]4+ in compound 2. The coordination around the metal atoms shows a tetragonally-elongated octahedral geometry (CuN4S2 and CuN4O2 chromophores). The Q-band EPR spectra of both compounds are indicative of an essentially d x 2 - y 2 ground state for copper(II) ions. The analysis…

A water molecule in the interior of a 1H-pyrazole Cu2+ metallocage

2016

Water has a great tendency to associate through hydrogen bonding with water molecules or other hydrogen bond donor or acceptor groups. Here the case of a water molecule encapsulated in the interior of a metallocage receptor is presented. The association of four copper(II) ions and two aza-macrocyclic receptors in which two 1H-pyrazole units are connected by cadaverine diamines leads to the inclusion of a water molecule into the cage, as proved by X-ray analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The included water molecule shows no hydrogen bonding with any component of the cage presenting only a weak hydrogen bond with an oxygen atom of a perchlorate counter-anion. The IR stretching vibrations pre…

Synthesis, Structural and Spectroscopic Characterization of Cr III , Fe III , Co III , Ni II and Cu II Complexes with an Asymmetric 1,3,4‐Thiadiazole…

2016

The reaction of the new asymmetric 1,3,4-thiadiazole-based ligand 2-[(5-ethylthio-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)hydrazonomethyl]phenol (H1ETHP) with various third-row transition metal salts resulted in the formation of six new mononuclear complexes [Cr(ETHP)2]ClO4 (1), [Fe(ETHP)2][FeCl4] (2), [Co(ETHP)(ETHP–H)] (3), [Ni(ETHP)(H1ETHP)]Cl (4), [Ni(ETHP)(H1ETHP)](ClO4) (5), [Ni(ETHP)(H1ETHP)]Br (6), and one tetranuclear complex [Cu2Cl3(ETHP)(H1ETHP)]2 (7). H1ETHP and all complexes have been analyzed by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analysis of 1–6 reveals complexes of the [ML2]n+-type (n = 0,1), in which the mono anionic ligand ETHP coordinates in a tridentate NNO fashion via its imine,…

The title compound, which crystallized as a methanol and water solvate, C24H41NO5·CH4O·H2O, was obtained by heterologous expression of the brasilicardin gene cluster in the bacterium Amycolatopsis japonicum. In the crystal, the components are linked by numerous hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.

Solution Conformation and Self‐Assembly of Ferrocenyl(thio)ureas

2016

Conformations and (dis)assembly processes of ureas and thioureas are of fundamental importance in supramolecular chemistry, anion binding, or crystal engineering, both in solution and in the solid state. For sensing and switching processes a redox-active unit, such as the ferrocene/ferrocenium couple, is especially suitable. Here, self-assembly processes of redox-active ferrocenyl(thio)ureas FcNHC(X)NHR [X = O, R = Fc (1), Ph (2), 1-naphthyl (3), Me (4), Et (5); X = S, R = Fc (6), 1-anthracenyl (7)] through hydrogen bonds – both in the solid state and in THF and CH2Cl2 solution – are reported. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of nonclassical intramolecular NH···Fe hydrogen bonds in …

The title compound, C12H9BrN2O3, was prepared in two steps from 2-chloro-3-nitropyridine. The nitrobiaryl unit is twisted, with dihedral angles of 35.4 (5)° between the nitro substituent and the pyridine ring to which it is bound, and 51.0 (5)° between the nitro group and the benzene ring. In the crystal, the molecules are connectedviaC—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming strands along theb-axis direction.

Reversible O–H bond activation by an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair

2019

The interactions of the O-H bonds in alcohols, water and phenol with dimethylxanthene-derived frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) have been probed. Within the constraints of this backbone framework, the preference for adduct formation or O-H bond cleavage to give the corresponding zwitterion is largely determined by pKa considerations. In the case of the PPh2/B(C6F5)2 system and p-tBuC6H4OH, an equilibrium is established between the two isomeric forms which allows the thermodynamic parameters associated with zwitterion formation via O-H bond cleavage to be probed.
