3-Formyl-2-furanboronic acid: X-ray and DFT studies
2004
The molecule of the title compound, C5H5BO4, is almost planar with the boronic acid group inclined to the furan ring by 3.7 (1)°. DFT (density functional theory) calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory (with no imaginary frequencies) were used to approximate the influence of hydrogen bonding on the molecular geometry and have confirmed the planarity of the molecule. No significant differences in geometrical parameters in the solid state and in the gas phase are associated with the presence of the O—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen-bonding network. The crystal packing is characterized by O—H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimers, which are additionally linked by O—H⋯O, as well as C—H⋯O interactio…
Folding and dimerization of resorcarene tetrasulfonates
2001
In the solid state and in CDCl3 resorcarene tetramesitylsulfonates fold by intramolecular SO⋯H–O hydrogen bonds and dimerise via intermolecular O–H⋯OH hydrogen bonding.
Structural and electronic contributions to hyperpolarizability in methyl p-hydroxy benzoate
2006
Abstract The single crystals of methyl p-hydroxy benzoate (MPHB) are grown from methanol solution by a low temperature solution growth technique. The SHG efficiency is tested using Q-switched Nd:YAG laser of wavelength λ at 1064 nm, which is approximately 1.2 times that of urea. Vibrational spectral analysis using NIR-FT Raman and FT-IR spectra is carried out to understand the structural and electronic contributions to hyperpolarizability in MPHB. The DFT computations are also performed at B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) level to derive equilibrium geometry, vibrational wavenumbers and intensities. The results of ab initio calculations at HF/6-311G(d,p) level show that the vibrational contribution for th…
Effect of hydrogen bonds on polarizability of a water molecule in (H2O)(N) (N = 6, 10, 20) isomers.
2010
Abstract: Polarizabilities of the low-lying isomers of (H2O)N (N = 6, 10, 20) clusters were computed by using Density Functional Theory. The global polarizabilities of the water isomers were found to depend mainly on the total number of water molecules rather than their cluster structures. We show that this result hides in fact a strong heterogeneity of the molecular polarizability within the different isomers. The global polarizability of a cluster was divided into a sum of molecular contributions by using the Hirshfeld partitioning scheme. We reveal that the value of the local polarizability of a molecule in the cluster is correlated with the number and type of the hydrogen bonds (HB) the…
Binding Modes of Nonspherical Anions to N-Alkylammonium Resorcinarenes in the Solid State
2012
A series of hydrogen bond stabilized N-alkylammonium resorcinarene salts with nitrate, triflate, and picrate as the counteranions were synthesized and characterized with 1H NMR and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. Together with electrostatic interactions, the binding of the anions with several hydrogen bond donor sites proceeds through a complex array of intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds, evidenced by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. These N-alkyl ammonium resorcinarenes bind the larger nonspherical anions into deformed cavitand-like structures and enforce a transformation of the resorcinarene conformation from almost symmetrical to extremely distorted.
The Role of Organic Fluorine in the Supramolecular Assembly of Halogenated β-Hydroxysulphoxides Diastereomers
2006
A series of optically pure γ-halogenated β-hydroxysulphoxides containing two stereogenic centers have been prepared, and the X-ray crystal structures have been determined. The conformational behavior in the solid state and the crystal packing of the different β-hydroxysulphoxide diastereoisomers have been determined. The intermolecular and intramolecular interactions present have been studied in both halogenated and nonhalogenated β-hydroxysulphoxides to establish the influence of the halogen atom in the supramolecular structure. The main intermolecular hydrogen bond OH···OS is always present and produces molecular chains. Self-assembly of these chains includes weak CH···F, C−F···F−C, and C…
N‐[tert‐Butoxycarbonylglycyl‐(Z)‐α,β‐dehydrophenylalanylglycyl‐(E)‐α,β‐dehydrophenylalanyl]glycine methyl ester dihydrate
2006
The title pentapeptide, Boc0—Gly1–ΔZPhe2—Gly3–ΔEPhe4—Gly5—OMe, C30H35N5O8·2H2O, adopts the type I β-turn conformation for the ΔZPhe2—Gly3 residues. It is stabilized by a 4\rightarrow1 intramolecular hydrogen bond between the ΔEPhe4 NH and Gly1 CO groups. All the amino acid residues in the pentapeptide sequence are linked trans to each other. The crystal structure is stabilized by intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
Why Do Chemically Similar Pharmaceutical Molecules Crystallize in Different Structures: A Case of Droperidol and Benperidol
2016
A detailed study of molecular conformation and intermolecular interactions in the experimental crystal structures and general trends observed in the Cambridge Structural Database as well as theoretical calculations were performed to identify the reason for the formation of different crystal structures of two chemically very similar pharmaceutical molecules benperidol and droperidol. The most important difference between both molecules was the weak intermolecular interactions formed by the central ring which therefore was responsible for the formation of different crystal structures. Cross-seeding experiments were performed to check the possibility for the formation of mutually isostructural…
The Nature of Transannular Interactions in E4N4 and E82+ (E = S, Se)
2015
The electronic structures of tetrachalcogen tetranitrides, E4N4, and octachalcogen dications, E8(2+), and the nature of their intramolecular E···E interactions (E = S, Se) was studied with high-level theoretical methods. The results reveal that the singlet ground states of both systems have a surprisingly large correlation contribution which functions to weaken and therefore lengthen the cross-ring E-E bond. The observed correlation effects are primarily static in E4N4, whereas in E8(2+) the dynamic part largely governs the total correlation contribution. The presented description of bonding is the first that gives an all-inclusive picture of the origin of cross-ring interactions in E4N4 an…
DFT study of polarizabilities and dipole moments of water clusters
2005
Density functional theory (DFT) calculations with different exchange- correlation functionals, Becke's three-parameter exchange functional and the gradient- corrected functional of Lee, Yang, and Paar (B3LYP) and Becke's three-parameter functional with Perdew-Wang correlational functional (B3PW91), are performed to study the dielectric properties of small and medium-sized water clusters. For these H- bonded systems, we optimize the geometries and compute the dipole moments and polarizabilities using a supermolecule approach. The corresponding properties of the individual water molecules in the clusters are extracted from the molecular properties using the Hirshfeld expansion of the electron…
