Structural Examination of Halogen-Bonded Co-Crystals of Tritopic Acceptors.

ABSTRACT: A series of tritopic N-heterocyclic compounds containing electrostatically and geometrically equivalent binding sites were synthesized and subjected to systematic co-crystallizations with selected perfluoroiodoarenes in order to map out their structural landscapes. More than 70% of the attempted reactions produced a co-crystal as indicated by IR spectroscopy. Four new crystal structures are reported and in all of them, at least one potential binding site on the acceptor is left vacant. The absence of halogen bonds to all sites can be ascribed primarily due to deactivation of the ?-hole on the iodo-arene donors and partially due to steric hindrance. The tritopic acceptors containing 5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole derivatives yield discrete tetrameric aggregates in the solid state, whereas the pyrazole and imidazole analogues assemble into halogen-bonded 1-D chains.

Halogen-bonded cocrystallization with phosphorus, arsenic and antimony acceptors.

Project description:The formation of non-covalent directional interactions, such as hydrogen or halogen bonds, is a central concept of materials design, which hinges on using small compact atoms of the 2nd period, notably nitrogen and oxygen, as acceptors. Heavier atoms are much less prominent in that context, and mostly limited to sulfur. Here, we report the experimental observation and theoretical study of halogen bonds to phosphorus, arsenic and antimony in the solid state. Combining 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene with triphenylphosphine, -arsine, and -stibine provides cocrystals based on I···P, I···As and I···Sb halogen bonds. The demonstration that increasingly metallic pnictogens form halogen bonds sufficiently strong to enable cocrystal formation is an advance in supramolecular chemistry which opens up opportunities in materials science, as shown by colossal thermal expansion of the cocrystal involving I···Sb halogen bonds.

2,2'-Bipyridine Derivatives as Halogen Bond Acceptors in Multicomponent Crystals.

Project description:In this work, we present a systematic study of the halogen bonding potential of different 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives in the synthesis of cocrystals by using selected perfluorinated iodobenzenes and N-haloimides as halogen bond donors. These halogen bond acceptor molecules were chosen to explore how different substituents on 2,2'-bipyridine affect halogen bond formation. Out of 24 combinations, we obtained only 8 cocrystals by using two methods, liquid-assisted grinding and crystallization from the solution. Of those 8 cocrystals, one has already been described in the literature. As expected, structural data revealed that 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives act as ditopic halogen bond acceptors in all structures. Dominant interactions in 7 of the cocrystals are I···N or Br···N halogen bonds, while in the one remaining cocrystal it is the I···C(π) halogen bond.

Efficient Light-Induced Phase Transitions in Halogen-Bonded Liquid Crystals.

Project description:Here, we present a new family of light-responsive, fluorinated supramolecular liquid crystals (LCs) showing efficient and reversible light-induced LC-to-isotropic phase transitions. Our materials design is based on fluorinated azobenzenes, where the fluorination serves to strengthen the noncovalent interaction with bond-accepting stilbazole molecules, and increase the lifetime of the cis-form of the azobenzene units. The halogen-bonded LCs were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, hot-stage polarized optical microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. Simultaneous analysis of light-induced changes in birefringence, absorption, and optical scattering allowed us to estimate that <4% of the mesogenic units in the cis-form suffices to trigger the full LC-to-isotropic phase transition. We also report a light-induced and reversible crystal-to-isotropic phase transition, which has not been previously observed in supramolecular complexes. In addition to fundamental understanding of light-responsive supramolecular complexes, we foresee this study to be important in the development of bistable photonic devices and supramolecular actuators.

Superfluorinated Ionic Liquid Crystals Based on Supramolecular, Halogen-Bonded Anions.

Project description:Unconventional ionic liquid crystals in which the liquid crystallinity is enabled by halogen-bonded supramolecular anions [Cn F2 n+1 -I⋅⋅⋅I⋅⋅⋅I-Cn F2 n+1 ](-) are reported. The material system is unique in many ways, demonstrating for the first time 1) ionic, halogen-bonded liquid crystals, and 2) imidazolium-based ionic liquid crystals in which the occurrence of liquid crystallinity is not driven by the alkyl chains of the cation.

Halogen-bonded shape memory polymers.

Project description:Halogen bonding (XB), a non-covalent interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom and a Lewis base, is widely adopted in organic synthesis and supramolecular crystal engineering. However, the roadmap towards materials applications is hindered by the challenges in harnessing this relatively weak intermolecular interaction to devise human-commanded stimuli-responsive soft materials. Here, we report a liquid crystalline network comprising permanent covalent crosslinks and dynamic halogen bond crosslinks, which possess reversible thermo-responsive shape memory behaviour. Our findings suggest that I···N halogen bond, a paradigmatic motif in crystal engineering studies, enables temporary shape fixation at room temperature and subsequent shape recovery in response to human body temperature. We demonstrate versatile shape programming of the halogen-bonded polymer networks through human-hand operation and propose a micro-robotic injection model for complex 1D to 3D shape morphing in aqueous media at 37 °C. Through systematic structure-property-performance studies, we show the necessity of the I···N crosslinks in driving the shape memory effect. The halogen-bonded shape memory polymers expand the toolbox for the preparation of smart supramolecular constructs with tailored mechanical properties and thermoresponsive behaviour, for the needs of, e.g., future medical devices.

Keggin-Type Anions as Halogen Bond Acceptors.

Project description:To study the potential of Keggin-type polyoxometalate anions to act as halogen bond acceptors, we have prepared a series of 10 halogen-bonded compounds starting from phosphomolybdic and phosphotungstic acid and halogenopyridinium cations as halogen (and hydrogen) bond donors. In all the structures, the cations and the anions were interconnected by halogen bonds, more often with terminal M=O oxygen atoms than with bridging oxygen atoms as acceptors. In four structures comprising protonated iodopyridinium cations capable of forming both hydrogen and halogen bonds with the anion, the halogen bond with the anion is apparently favored, whereas hydrogen bonds preferentially involve other acceptors present in the structure. In three obtained structures derived from phosphomolybdic acid, the corresponding oxoanion has been found in its reduced state [Mo12PO40]4-, which has also led to a decrease in halogen bond lengths as compared to the fully oxidated [Mo12PO40]3-. The electrostatic potential on the three types of anions involved in the study ([Mo12PO40]3-, [Mo12PO40]4-, and [W12PO40]3-) has been calculated for optimized geometries of the anions, and it has been shown that the terminal M=O oxygen atoms are the least negative sites of the anions, indicating that they act as halogen bond acceptors primarily due to their steric availability.

Uracil Derivatives for Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:Among non-covalent interactions, halogen bonding is emerging as a new powerful tool for supramolecular self-assembly. Here, along with a green and effective method, we report three new halogen-bonded cocrystals containing uracil derivatives and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene as X-bond donor coformer. These multicomponent solids were prepared both by solvent-drop grinding and solution methods and further characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermal methods (TGA-DSC). In order to study the relative importance of hydrogen versus halogen bonds in the crystal packing, computational methods were applied.

Conservation of the Hydrogen-Bonded Pyridone Homosynthon in Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:Seven cocrystals of pyridone and perfluorinated halocarbons have been prepared. In all cases pairs of pyridone molecules are connected into dimers by two N-H···O hydrogen bonds, forming the characteristic pyridone homosynthon of R2 2(8) topology. These dimers further act as acceptors of halogen bonds through the two pyridone oxygen atoms, forming two (in six cases) or three (in one case) halogen bonds with the donor molecules. The stoichiometry of the cocrystals obtained and the overall topology of the supramolecular architecture depend primarily on the topicity of the halogen bond donor, with the monotopic donor yielding a cocrystal of 1:1 stoichiometry comprising discrete supramolecular complexes, the ditopic donors cocrystals of 1:2 stoichiometry comprising chains, and the tritopic donor a cocrystal of 1:2 stoichiometry comprising hydrogen- and halogen-bonded layers. The results indicate that the pyridone homosynthon is a robust and reliable supramolecular synthon that is conserved in halogen-bonded cocrystals of pyridone.

Halogen-Bonded Guanine Base Pairs, Quartets and Ribbons.

Project description:Halogen bonding is studied in different structures consisting of halogenated guanine DNA bases, including the Hoogsteen guanine-guanine base pair, two different types of guanine ribbons (R-I and R-II) consisting of two or three monomers, and guanine quartets. In the halogenated base pairs (except the Cl-base pair, which has a very non-planar structure with no halogen bonds) and R-I ribbons (except the At trimer), the potential N-X•••O interaction is sacrificed to optimise the N-X•••N halogen bond. In the At trimer, the astatines originally bonded to N1 in the halogen bond donating guanines have moved to the adjacent O6 atom, enabling O-At•••N, N-At•••O, and N-At•••At halogen bonds. The brominated and chlorinated R-II trimers contain two N-X•••N and two N-X•••O halogen bonds, whereas in the iodinated and astatinated trimers, one of the N-X•••N halogen bonds is lost. The corresponding R-II dimers keep the same halogen bond patterns. The G-quartets display a rich diversity of symmetries and halogen bond patterns, including N-X•••N, N-X•••O, N-X•••X, O-X•••X, and O-X•••O halogen bonds (the latter two facilitated by the transfer of halogens from N1 to O6). In general, halogenation decreases the stability of the structures. However, the stability increases with the increasing atomic number of the halogen, and the At-doped R-I trimer and the three most stable At-doped quartets are more stable than their hydrogenated counterparts. Significant deviations from linearity are found for some of the halogen bonds (with halogen bond angles around 150°).
