Halogen bonding and host-guest chemistry between
2019
Single crystal X-ray structures of halogen-bonded assemblies formed between host N-hexylammonium resorcinarene bromide (1) or N-cyclohexylammonium resorcinarene chloride (2), and 1,4-diiodooctafluorobutane and accompanying small solvent guests (methanol, acetonitrile and water) are presented. The guests’ inclusion affects the geometry of the cavity of the receptors 1 and 2, while the divalent halogen bond donor 1,4-diiodooctafluorobutane determines the overall nature of the halogen bond assembly. The crystal lattice of 1 contains two structurally different dimeric assemblies A and B, formally resulting in the mixture of a capsular dimer and a dimeric pseudo-capsule. 1H and 19F NMR analyses …
Halogen bonding and host–guest chemistry between N-alkylammonium resorcinarene halides, diiodoperfluorobutane and neutral guests

Pressure- and temperature-induced valence tautomeric interconversion in a o-dioxolene adduct of a cobalt-tetraazamacrocycle complex
2001
An electronic switch at the molecular level has been realized by using a class of ionic compounds of the formula [Co(L)(diox)]Y (L = tetraazamacrocyclic ligand, Y = mononegative anion). Such compounds undergo temperature- and pressure-induced intramolecular one-electron transfer equilibria. The transition temperature of interconversion varies with the nature of the counterions Y (Y = PF6, BPh4, I). Surprisingly the effect of the anion on the transition temperature is not only governed by its volume but also by its coulombic interaction.
Crystal structure of a 1:1 salt of 4-aminobenzoic acid (vitamin B10) with pyrazinoic acid
2018
The paper reports the crystal structure of novel salt of 4-aminobenzoic acid (Vitamin B10) with pyrazinoic acid.
Crystal structure ofN-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl-(Z)-β-bromodehydroalanine methyl ester [Boc–Gly–(β-Br)(Z)ΔAla–OMe]
2014
In a dehydroamino acid with a C=C bond between the α- and β-C atoms, the amino acid residues are linked trans to each other and there are no strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The torsion angles indicate a non-helical conformation of the molecule.
Crystal structure of diethyl 2-amino-5-{4-[bis-(4-methyl-phen-yl)amino]-benzamido}-thio-phene-3,4-di-carboxyl-ate.
2019
The title compound forms a head-to-head centrosymmetric dimer, involving a pair of intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. It also forms two intramolecular bonds between its amine and amide and the ester carbonyl groups.
Reactivity of 4-Aminopyridine with Halogens and Interhalogens : Weak Interactions Supported Networks of 4-Aminopyridine and 4-Aminopyridinium
2019
The reaction of 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) with ICl in a 1:1 molar ratio in CH2Cl2 produced the expected charge-transfer complex [4-NH2-1λ4-C5H4N-1-ICl] (1·ICl) and the ionic species [(4-NH2-1λ4-C5H4N)2-1μ-I+][Cl–] (2·Cl–) in a 2:1 relation, as indicated by 1H NMR spectroscopy in solution. In contrast, only the ionic compound [(4-NH2-1λ4-C5H4N)2-1μ-I+][IBr2–] (2·IBr2–) was observed in the analogous reaction with IBr. The reaction between 4-AP and I2 in a 1:1 molar ratio also afforded two components, one of which was identified as the congeneric cation in [(4-NH2-1λ4-C5H4N)2-1μ-I+][I7–] (2·I7–) that contains a polyiodide anion as a result of transformation in a 1:2 molar ratio between the starti…
The Photocycle of Bacteriophytochrome Is Initiated by Counterclockwise Chromophore Isomerization.
2022
Photoactivation of bacteriophytochrome involves a cis–trans photoisomerization of a biliverdin chromophore, but neither the precise sequence of events nor the direction of the isomerization is known. Here, we used nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations on the photosensory protein dimer to resolve the isomerization mechanism in atomic detail. In our simulations the photoisomerization of the D ring occurs in the counterclockwise direction. On a subpicosecond time scale, the photoexcited chromophore adopts a short-lived intermediate with a highly twisted configuration stabilized by an extended hydrogen-bonding network. Within tens of picoseconds, these hydrogen bonds break, allowing the c…
Thiourea Based Tritopic Halogen Bonding Acceptors
2023
Series of thiourea based tritopic receptor molecules were synthesized to be used as building blocks for halogen-bonded assemblies. Here 16 new receptor molecules were synthesized from two different 2,4,6-trialkyl-1,3,5-tris(bromomethyl)benzene starting materials via tris(isothiocyanatomethyl)benzene intermediates. The alkyl substituents in the benzene ring showed to be important for isothiocyanate group formation instead of competing thiocyanate group. The synthesis route allowed us to synthesize the isothiocyanate intermediates and further the receptor molecules without typically used and highly toxic thiophosgene. Synthesized receptor molecules were used to study their halogen bond accept…
Iodine Clathrated : A Solid-State Analog of the Iodine-Starch Complex
2019
Co-crystallizing iodine with a simple dicationic salt (1,8- diammoniumoctane chloride) results in the clathration of the iodine (I2) molecules inside trigonal and hexagonal helical channels of the crystal lattice with 72 wt% overall I2 loading. The I2 inside the bigger trigonal channel forms a I-I•••I-I•••I-I halogen-bonded infinite helical chain, while the I2 in the smaller hexagonal channel is disordered. In both channels the I2 interaction with the channel wall happens through I-I•••Cl- halogen bonds. The helical channels in the crystal lattice are constructed via the strong charge-assisted H2N+ -H•••Cl- hydrogen bonds between the dications and the chloride anions. The structure shows a …
