Intermolecular interaction energies and magnetic properties of spin-isolated multinuclear CuII complexes

2020

Dinuclear CuII complexes with 3,5-dinitrobenzoates and 2,2′-bipyridine (2) or 1,10-phenanthroline (3) were synthesized and characterized. A complete energy framework analysis using the HF/3-21G energy model was performed which found that dispersion forces and C—H...O interactions are responsible for the crystal structure features. The magnetic properties of the complexes show a weak magnetic exchange between spins, resulting in low exchange constants of −2.72 (1) cm−1 and −1.10 (1) cm−1 for complexes (2) and (3), respectively. This results from the low overlap between magnetic orbitals induced by 3,5-dinitrobenzoate bridges and the arrangement of the magnetic orbitals. Consequently, the din…

Prediction of Solid Solution Formation among Chemically Similar Molecules Using Calculation of Lattice and Intermolecular Interaction Energy

2020

Several 2-substituted 4-nitrobenzoic acid (NBA) derivatives such as 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid (2C4NBA), 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzoic acid (2CH34NBA) and 2-hydroxy-4-nitrobenzoic acid (2OH4NBA) were selected as model compounds because of their availability and chemically similar structures, in which the different group/atom (R) does not significantly affect the dominant intermolecular interactions – hydrogen bonds formed by the carboxylic group [1]. Quantum chemical calculations of lattice and intermolecular interaction energy were carried out to identify possible factors, which could be, used in prediction of the formation of solid solutions (SS) in binary systems of chemically similar molecu…

Crystal structure, Hirshfeld surface analysis and HOMO–LUMO analysis of (E)-N′-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzylidene)nicotinohydrazide monohydrate

2019

The title Schiff base compound displays an E configuration with respect to the C=N double bond. The pyridine and benzene rings subtend a dihedral angle of 29.63 (7)°. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are linked by N—H⋯O, C—H⋯O, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen-bonding inter­actions.

Self-assembly mechanism based on charge density topological interaction energies

2017

The packing interactions have been evaluated in the context of the self-assembly mechanism of crystal growth and also for its impacts on the aromaticity of the trimesate anion. The structure of ethylammonium trimesate hydrate (1) measured at 100 K and a charge density model, derived in part from theoretical structures, is reported. Theoretical structure factors were obtained from the geometry-optimized periodic wave function. The trimesic acid portion of 1 is fully deprotonated and participates in a variety hydrogen bonding motifs. Topological analysis of the charge density model reveals the most significant packing interactions and is then compared to a complementary analysis performed by …

Complexes of HXeY with HX (Y, X = F, Cl, Br, I) : Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory Study and Anharmonic Vibrational Analysis

2023

A comprehensive analysis of the intermolecular interaction energy and anharmonic vibrations of 41 structures of the HXeY· · · HX (X, Y = F, Cl, Br, I) family of noble-gas-compound complexes for all possible combinations of Y and X was conducted. New structures were identified, and their interaction energies were studied by means of symmetry-adapted perturbation theory, up to secondorder corrections: this provided insight into the physical nature of the interaction in the complexes. The energy components were discussed, in connection to anharmonic frequency analysis. The results show that the induction and dispersion corrections were the main driving forces of the interaction, and that their…

Intramolecular 1,5-S...N σ-hole interaction in (E)-N′-(pyridin-4-ylmethylidene)thiophene-2-carbohydrazide

2020

The hydrazide-hydrazone forms inverse dimers via hydrogen bonding, but its conformation is defined by the presence of an intra­molecular chalcogen bond. Electrostatic forces dominate in the crystal packing and give rise to a layered supra­molecular structure.

Similarities and differences between crystal and enzyme environmental effects on the electron density of drug molecules

2021

Abstract The crystal interaction density is generally assumed to be a suitable measure of the polarization of a low‐molecular weight ligand inside an enzyme, but this approximation has seldomly been tested and has never been quantified before. In this study, we compare the crystal interaction density and the interaction electrostatic potential for a model compound of loxistatin acid (E64c) with those inside cathepsin B, in solution, and in vacuum. We apply QM/MM calculations and experimental quantum crystallography to show that the crystal interaction density is indeed very similar to the enzyme interaction density. Less than 0.1 e are shifted between these two environments in total. Howeve…

Halogen Bonds in Square Planar 2,5-Dihalopyridine-Copper(II) Bromide Complexes

2018

Halogen bonding in self-complementary 1:2 metal–ligand complexes obtained from copper(II) bromide (CuBr2) and seven 2,5-dihalopyridines were analyzed using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. All presented discrete complexes form 1D polymeric chains connected with C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds (XB). In (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) only the C5-halogen and in (2-bromo-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 (X = Cl, Br, and I) both C2- and C5-halogens form C–X···Br–Cu halogen bonds with the X acting as the XB donor and copper-coordinated bromide as the XB acceptor. The electron-withdrawing C2-chloride in (2-chloro-5-X-pyridine)2·CuBr2 complexes has only a minor effect on the C5–X5···Br–Cu XBs, a…
