Modulation of N···I and +N−H···Cl−···I Halogen Bonding: Folding, Inclusion, and Self-Assembly of Tri- and Tetraamino Piperazine Cyclophanes
2010
The acidity of the crystallization conditions was successfully employed in modulating the balance between the robust intramolecular hydrogen bonding (HB) and intermolecular halogen bonding (XB) observed in large tri- (1) and tetraamino (2) piperazine cyclophanes. A careful crystallization of the title XB acceptor cyclophanes with a strong bidentate XB donor 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (F4DIB) from CHCl3:MeOH, dimethylformamide (DMF), or HCl:H2O:EtOH resulted in X-ray quality crystals of 1·F4DIB, 2@DMF, 2·2@F4DIB, [1H3]Cl3·(F4DIB)6, and [2H6]Cl6·(F4DIB)2. The intramolecular hydrogen bonding pattern in 1 and 2 was retained in neutral protic and aprotic solvents, and regular N−H···N hydrogen …
"Recognition of a Novel Type X=N-Hal•••Hal' (X = , S, P; Hal = F, Cl, Br, I) Halogen Bonding"
2013
The chlorination of the eight-membered platinum(II) chelates (PtCl2{NHC(NR2)N(Ph)C(NH)- N(Ph)C(NR2)NH}) (R = Me (1); R2 = (CH2)5 (2)) with uncomplexed imino group with Cl2 gives complexes bearing the N−Cl moiety (PtCl4{NHC(NR2)N(Ph)C(NCl)N- (Ph)C(NR2)NH}) (R = Me (3); R2 = (CH2)5 (4)). X-ray study for 3 revealed a novel type intermolecular halogen bonding N−Cl···Cl − , formed between the Cl atom of the chlorinated imine and the chloride bound to the platinum(IV) center. The processing relevant structural data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSDB) shows that this type of halogen bonding is realized in 18 more molecular species having XN−Hal moieties (X = C, P, S, V…
The Effect of Halogen Bonding on the Packing of Bromine Substituted Pyridine and Benzyl Functionalized Resorcinarene Tetrapodands in the Solid State
2012
The synthesis and characterization of new bromine-substituted pyridine and benzyl functionalized tetramethoxy resorcinarene tetrapodands are described and their solid-state structural properties and interactions were studied by single crystal X-ray crystallography. Three different crystal structures were obtained for the pyridine derivative and one for the benzyl derivative, which revealed that the interactions of the bromine substituent have an explicit effect on the crystal packing of the resorcinarene molecules. One of the structures obtained had very interesting halogen–halogen interactions with the same geometry as is generally found for compounds used in nonlinear optical studies.
Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: A Promoter of Carbon-Halogen Bond Heterolysis
2013

Polar protic solvents with high dielectric con-stants promote polar bond heterolysis by providing effectiveH-bonding and electron-pair donation interactions to theleaving group and the incipient carbocation, respectively.Then, the solvent captures the carbocation intermediate togive the corresponding S
Halogen bonding—a key step in charge recombination of the dye-sensitized solar cell
2011
The halogen bonding between [Ru(dcbpy)(2)(SCN)(2)] dye and I(2) molecule has been studied. The ruthenium complex forms a stable [Ru(dcbpy)(2)(SCN)(2)]···I(2)·4(CH(3)OH) adduct via S···I interaction between the thiocyanate ligand and the I(2) molecule. The adduct can be seen as a model for one of the key intermediates in the regeneration cycle of the oxidized dye by the I(-)/I(3)(-) electrolyte in dye sensitized solar cells.
Halogen bond directionality translates tecton geometry into self-assembled architecture geometry
2013
The structures of halogen-bonded infinite chains involving two diiodoperfluoroalkanes and a bent bis(pyrid-4′-yl)oxadiazole show that the geometry of the pyridyl pendant rings is translated into the angle between the formed halogen bonds.
Crystallography of encapsulated molecules.
2017
The crystallography of supramolecular host–guest complexes is reviewed and discussed as a part of small molecule crystallography. In these complexes, the host binds the guests through weak supramolecular interactions, such as hydrogen and halogen bonding, cation–π, anion–π, C–H–π, π–π, C–H–anion interactions and the hydrophobic effect. As the guest often shows severe disorder, large thermal motion and low occupancies, the reliable crystallographic determination of the guest can be very demanding. The analysis of host–guest interactions using tools such as Hirshfeld and cavity volume surface analysis will help to look closely at the most important host–guest interactions. The jewel in the cr…
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…
Fluorine Scan of Inhibitors of the Cysteine Protease Human Cathepsin L: Dipolar and Quadrupolar Effects in the π-Stacking of Fluorinated Phenyl Rings…
2016
The π-stacking of fluorinated benzene rings on protein backbone amide groups was investigated, using a dual approach comprising enzyme-ligand binding studies complemented by high-level quantum chemical calculations. In the experimental study, the phenyl substituent of triazine nitrile inhibitors of human cathepsin L (hCatL), which stacks onto the peptide amide bond Gly67-Gly68 at the entrance of the S3 pocket, was systematically fluorinated, and differences in inhibitory potency were measured in a fluorimetric assay. Binding affinity is influenced by lipophilicity (clog P), the dipole and quadrupole moments of the fluorinated rings, but also by additional interactions of the introduced fluo…
Synthesis of fluorinated oxadiazoles with gelation and oxygen storage ability
2012
A new family of fluorinated low molecular weight (LMW) gelators has been synthesized through SNAr substitution of 5-polyfluoroaryl-3-perfluoroheptyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with glycine ester. The obtained compounds give thermal and pH-sensitive hydrogels or thermo-reversible organogels in DMSO. Oxygen solubility studies showed the ability to maintain high oxygen levels in solution and in gel blend with plate counter agar (PCA).
