ChemInform Abstract: Halogen-Bonded Supramolecular Complexes and Networks

2009

In spite of some controversy of the true nature of the interaction between polarized halogen atoms and neutral or charged Lewis bases, termed “halogen bonding”, as a primary interaction, it is a very useful new tool/way to construct supramolecular complexes and networks. This is especially true in solid state supramolecular chemistry where utilization of weak intermolecular interactions such as halogen bonding opens up new insights to materials design and supramolecular synthesis.

Ab initio study of the tautomeric forms of some quinolinediones

1995

Abstract 7,8-dihydroquinoline-4,5 (1 H ,6 H )-dione ( 1 ) and 7,8-dihydroquinoline-2,5-(1 H ,6 H )-dione ( 2 ) in their tautomeric oxo and hydroxy forms have been studied by ab initio Hartree-Fock calculations; tautomerization energies predict a more stable hydroxy structure having an intramolecular hydrogen bond for compound 1, whereas the oxo form is slightly-preferred for compound 2. Fourier Transform-Infra Red (FT-IR) spectra in CHCl 3 solution indicate that the predicted most stable tautomers in the vapour phase remain as such.

Conformational equilibrium and intramolecular hydrogen bond of 4′X and 4X substituted 2′(OH)chalcones

1999

Abstract By using the AM1 method on 4X and 4′X substituted 2′(OH)chalcones (X=H, OH, F, Cl, CH 3 , CH 3 O, N(CH 3 ) 2 , and NO 2 ), certain currently unclear structural characteristics, conformational equilibria, intramolecular hydrogen bonds and UV spectroscopic properties had been clarified. The compounds studied have non-planar structures. The 2′(OH),4′Xchalcones only present the trans - s - cis conformation. trans - s - cis and trans - s - trans conformers of 2′(OH),4X-chalcones have a comparable thermodynamic stability. For these chalcones, a conformational equilibrium at 298 K exists, with 91% of the trans - s - cis form. The proposal of analyzing the intramolecular hydrogen bond of 2…

Molecular association in low-temperature and high-pressure polymorphs of 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane

2010

Interactions and aggregation of 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane molecules, Cl3CCH2Cl, have been investigated at low temperature and high pressure. Isobaric and isochoric crystallizations led to two polymorphs, characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The low-temperature polymorph α is monoclinic, space group C2/c, with molecules orientationally disordered in two sites at the temperature independent 70:30 rate. In isothermal conditions (295 K) 1,1,1,2-tetrachloroethane freezes at 0.73 GPa. The high-pressure polymorph β is monoclinic, space group P21/c, with the molecules fully ordered. The molecular aggregation at varied thermodynamic conditions results from the interplay of halogen inte…

Unravelling the fine structure of stacked bipyridine diamine-derived C-3-discotics as determined by X-ray diffraction, quantum-chemical calculations,…

2011

An in depth investigation of the fine structure adopted by the helical stacks of C3-discotics 1 incorporating three 3,3'-diamino-2,2'-bipyridine units is described. In the bulk the molecules display liquid crystalline behaviour in a temperature window of >300 K and an ordered rectangular columnar mesophase (Colro) with an inter-disc distance of 3.4 Å is assigned. X-Ray diffraction on aligned samples has also revealed a helical superstructure in the liquid crystalline state, and a rotation angle of 13–16° between consecutive discs. The proposed superstructure in the bulk phase has been further substantiated by a combination of quantum-chemical calculations and solid-state NMR spectroscopy…

Coexistence of spin-crossover and antiferromagnetic coupling phenomena in the novel dinuclear Fe(II) complex [Fe(dpa)(NCS)2]2bpym

2003

Abstract The iron(II) spin crossover dinuclear compound [Fe(dpa)(NCS) 2 ] 2 bpym where dpa = 2,2 ′ -dipyridylamine and bpym = 2,2 ′ -bipyrimidine has been synthesized and characterized. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and 57 Fe Mossbauer spectroscopy data provide evidence for a rather complete and continuous S=2 ( HS )↔S=0 (LS) spin-crossover behavior taking place in the temperature range 400–50 K (T 1/2 =245 K ) without the presence of a plateau at 50% of conversion. The absence of such plateau, which is characteristic of all dinuclear compounds so far studied, is interpreted in terms of synergetic effect between intramolecular and intermolecular interactions.

Syntheses, crystal structures and magnetic properties of di- and trinuclear croconato-bridged copper(ii) complexes

2002

The new croconato-bridged copper(II) compounds [Cu2(terpy)2(H2O)2(C5O5)](NO3)2·H2O (1) and [Cu3(phen)5(C5O5)2](CF3SO3)2 (2) (C5O52− = croconate, dianion of 4,5-dihydroxycyclopent-4-ene-1,2,3-trione; terpy = 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) have been prepared, and their crystal structures and variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities determined. The structure of complex 1 consists of croconato-bridged dinuclear [Cu2(terpy)2(H2O)2(C5O5)]2+ complex ions, nitrate counter ions and water of hydration. The croconato ligand exhibits an asymmetrical bis-bidentate coordination mode through four of its five oxygen atoms. The two crystallographically independent copper atoms hav…

Ring inversion pathways of exo- and endo-calix[4]arenes studied by means of the MM3 force field

1995

Abstract The ring inversion pathways of an exo-calix[4]arene 1a and of p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene 2a were investigated by means of the dihedral driver option of the MM3(92) force field. The calculated activation energies of 14.0 and 6.7 kcal mol−1 are in excellent agreement with the experimentally determined value for p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene and the observed flexibility of the exo-calix[4]arene on the NMR timescale.
