The H2C(X)–X•••X– (X = Cl, Br) Halogen Bonding of Dihalomethanes
2017
The dihalomethane–halide H2C(X)–X···X– (X = Cl, Br) halogen bonding was detected in a series of the cis-[PdX(CNCy){C(NHCy)═NHC6H2Me2NH2}]X•CH2X2 (X = Cl, Br) associates by single-crystal XRD followed by DFT calculations. Although ESP calculations demonstrated that the σ-hole of dichloromethane is the smallest among all halomethane solvents (the maximum electrostatic potential is only 2.6 kcal/mol), the theoretical DFT calculations followed by Bader’s QTAIM analysis (M06/DZP-DKH level of theory) confirmed the H2C(X)–X···X– halogen bond in both the solid-state and gas-phase optimized geometries. The estimated bonding energy in H2C(X)–X···X– is in the 1.9–2.8 kcal/mol range.
Neutral Organometallic Halogen Bond Acceptors: Halogen Bonding in Complexes of PCPPdX (X = Cl, Br, I) with Iodine (I(2)), 1,4-Diiodotetrafluorobenzen…
2012
The behavior of a sterically crowded neutral pincer {2,6-bis[(di-t-butylphosphino)methyl]-phenyl}palladium (PCPPd) halides, PCPPdX (X = Cl, Br or I), as XB acceptors with strong halogen bond (XB) donors, iodine (I2), 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (F4DIBz), and 1,4-diiodooctafluorobutane (F8DIBu) were studied in the solid state. The co-crystallization experiments afforded high-quality single crystals of XB complexes PCPPdCl–I2 (1a), PCPPdBr–I2 (2a), PCPPdI–I2(3a), PCPPdCl–F4DIBz (1b), PCPPdBr–F4DIBz (2b), and PCPPdBr–F8DIBu (2c). The 1:1 iodine complexes (1a, 2a, and 3a) all showed a strong halogen bonding interaction, the reduction of the sum of the van der Waals radii of halogen to iodine b…
Influence of Substituents in the Aromatic Ring on the Strength of Halogen Bonding in Iodobenzene Derivatives
2020
Halogen bonding properties of 3,4,5-triiodobenzoic acid (1, 2), 1,2,3-triiodobenzene (3), pentaiodobenzoic acid ethanol solvate (4), hexaiodobenzene (5a, 5b, 5c), 2,4-diiodoaniline (6), 4-iodoaniline (7), 2-iodoaniline (8), 2-iodophenol (9), 4-iodophenol (10), 3-iodophenol (11) and 2,4,6-triiodophenol (12) has been studied. The results suggested that substituents other than halogen in aromatic ring affect XB properties of iodine substituents in ortho-, meta- and para-positions. The effect depends on the electron-withdrawing/electron-donating properties of the substituent. Thus, electron-withdrawing substituents with negative mesomeric effect favor m-iodines to act as XB donors and o- and p-…
Strong N−X⋅⋅⋅O−N Halogen Bonds: A Comprehensive Study on N‐Halosaccharin Pyridine N ‐Oxide Complexes
2019
A study of the strong N-X⋅⋅⋅- O-N+ (X=I, Br) halogen bonding interactions reports 2×27 donor×acceptor complexes of N-halosaccharins and pyridine N-oxides (PyNO). DFT calculations were used to investigate the X⋅⋅⋅O halogen bond (XB) interaction energies in 54 complexes. A simplified computationally fast electrostatic model was developed for predicting the X⋅⋅⋅O XBs. The XB interaction energies vary from -47.5 to -120.3 kJ mol-1 ; the strongest N-I⋅⋅⋅- O-N+ XBs approaching those of 3-center-4-electron [N-I-N]+ halogen-bonded systems (ca. 160 kJ mol-1 ). 1 H NMR association constants (KXB ) determined in CDCl3 and [D6 ]acetone vary from 2.0×100 to >108 m-1 and correlate well with the calculat…

The half-lantern PdII2 complexes trans-(O,C)-[Pd(ppz)(μ-O∩N)]2 (1) and trans-(E,N)-[Pd(ppz)(μ-E∩N)]2 (E∩N is a deprotonated 2-substituted pyridine; E = S (2), Se (3); Hppz = 1-phenylpyrazole) were ...
A “nucleophilic” iodine in a halogen-bonded iodonium complex manifests an unprecedented I+···Ag+ interaction
2021
Summary When an electron is removed from a halogen atom, it forms a halenium ion X+ (X = I, Br, Cl). In halogen bonding (XB), X+ is considered as a strong XB donor, and when interacting with two XB acceptors (e.g., pyridine), it forms a halonium XB complex with a [N–I–N] three-center-four-electron bond with the two XB acceptors. An unprecedented I+···Ag+ interaction occurs between a [L1–I–L1]+ halogen-bonded complex and a [L2–Ag–L2]+ complex in which the iodonium ion acts like a nucleophile and donates electrons to the silver(I) cation. The X-ray diffraction analysis reveals a short contact [3.4608(3) A] between the I+ and Ag+ cations, and ITC measurements give a ΔG of −6.321 kcal/mol and K…
Interaction Between Amines and N-Haloimides: a New Motif for Unprecedentedly Short Br...N and I...N Halogen Bonds
2011
The complexes of N-bromosuccinimide or N-iodosuccinimide with a halogen bond acceptor, either 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO), hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) or 1,3,5-triazine (TRZ), led to an unprecedentedly strong (CO)2N–X⋯N halogen bond synthon (X = Br or I) determined from crystal structures of [DABCO]·[NBS]22, [HMTA]·[NBS]22, [TRZ]·[NIS]22 and [HMTA]·[NIS]44. The Br⋯N distances with DABCO and with HMTA donors were 2.347 A and 2.414 A being remarkably shorter (31% and 29%) than the sum of the VDW radii of nitrogen and bromide atoms, respectively. The corresponding I⋯N distances with HMTA and TRZ were 2.549 A and 2.596 A (27.8% and 26.4% less than the sum of the VDW radii of N and I…
Halogen bonds with coordinative nature: halogen bonding in a S–I+–S iodonium complex†
2015
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.
