Intermolecular Non-Covalent Carbon-Bonding Interactions with Methyl Groups: A CSD, PDB and DFT Study.

ABSTRACT: A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X-CH₃ can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ? 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (? -1.5 kcal·mol^-1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me₃N-CH₃···OH₂] (2a). The interaction energy is enhanced to ?-5 kcal·mol^-1 when X is more electron withdrawing such as in [O₂N-CH₃··O=C^dme] (20b) and to ?18 kcal·mol^-1 in cationic species like [Me₃O⁺-CH₃···OH₂]⁺ (8a).

A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X-CH3 can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ≤ 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (≤ -1.5 kcal·mol-1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me3N-CH3···OH2] (2a). ...[more]

Tetrel Bonding Interactions in Perchlorinated Cyclopenta- and Cyclohexatetrelanes: A Combined DFT and CSD Study.

Project description:In this manuscript, we combined DFT calculations (PBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) and a Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) survey to evaluate the ability of perchlorinated cyclopenta- and cyclohexatetrelanes in establishing tetrel bonding interactions. For this purpose, we used Tr?Cl10 and Tr?Cl12 (Tr = Si and Ge) and HCN, HF, OH- and Cl- as electron donor entities. Furthermore, we performed an Atoms in Molecules (AIM) analysis to further describe and characterize the interactions studied herein. A survey of crystal structures in the CSD reveals that close contacts between Si and lone-pair-possessing atoms are quite common and oriented along the extension of the covalent bond formed by the silicon with the halogen atom.

Intermolecular noncovalent interactions with carbon in solution.

Project description:One of the most familiar carbon-centered noncovalent interactions (NCIs) involving an antibonding π*-orbital situated at the Bürgi-Dunitz angle from the electron donor, mostly lone pairs of electrons, is known as n → π* interactions, and if it involves a σ* orbital in a linear fashion, then it is known as the carbon bond. These NCIs can be intra- or inter-molecular and are usually weak in strength but have a paramount effect on the structure and function of small-molecular crystals and proteins. Surprisingly, the experimental evidence of such interactions in the solution phase is scarce. It is even difficult to determine the interaction energy in the solution. Using NMR spectroscopy aided with molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and high-level quantum mechanical calculations, herein we provide the experimental evidence of intermolecular carbon-centered NCIs in solution. The challenge was to find appropriate heterodimers that could sustain room temperature thermal energy and collisions from the solvent molecules. However, after several trial model compounds, the pyridine-N-oxide:dimethyltetracyanocyclopropane (PNO-DMTCCP) complex was found to be a good candidate for the investigation. NBO analyses show that the PNO:DMTCCP complex is stabilized mainly by intermolecular n → π* interaction when a weaker carbon bond gives extra stability to the complex. From the NMR study, it is observed that the NCIs between DMTCCP and PNO are enthalpy driven with an enthalpy change of -28.12 kJ mol-1 and dimerization energy of ∼-38 kJ mol-1 is comparable to the binding energies of a conventional hydrogen-bonded dimer. This study opens up a new strategy to investigate weak intermolecular interactions such as n → π* interaction and carbon bonds in the solution phase.

Au3-to-Ag3 coordinate-covalent bonding and other supramolecular interactions with covalent bonding strength.

Project description:An efficient strategy for designing charge-transfer complexes using coinage metal cyclic trinuclear complexes (CTCs) is described herein. Due to opposite quadrupolar electrostatic contributions from metal ions and ligand substituents, [Au(μ-Pz-(i-C3H7)2)]3·[Ag(μ-Tz-(n-C3F7)2)]3 (Pz = pyrazolate, Tz = triazolate) has been obtained and its structure verified by single crystal X-ray diffraction - representing the 1st crystallographically-verified stacked adduct of monovalent coinage metal CTCs. Abundant supramolecular interactions with aggregate covalent bonding strength arise from a combination of M-M' (Au → Ag), metal-π, π-π interactions and hydrogen bonding in this charge-transfer complex, according to density functional theory analyses, yielding a computed binding energy of 66 kcal mol-1 between the two trimer moieties - a large value for intermolecular interactions between adjacent d10 centres (nearly doubling the value for a recently-claimed Au(i) → Cu(i) polar-covalent bond: Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 2017, 114, E5042) - which becomes 87 kcal mol-1 with benzene stacking. Surprisingly, DFT analysis suggests that: (a) some other literature precedents should have attained a stacked product akin to the one herein, with similar or even higher binding energy; and (b) a high overall intertrimer bonding energy by inferior electrostatic assistance, underscoring genuine orbital overlap between M and M' frontier molecular orbitals in such polar-covalent M-M' bonds in this family of molecules. The Au → Ag bonding is reminiscent of classical Werner-type coordinate-covalent bonds such as H3N: → Ag in [Ag(NH3)2]+, as demonstrated herein quantitatively. Solid-state and molecular modeling illustrate electron flow from the π-basic gold trimer to the π-acidic silver trimer with augmented contributions from ligand-to-ligand' (LL'CT) and metal-to-ligand (MLCT) charge transfer.

Mapping intermolecular bonding in C??.

Project description:The formation of intermolecular bonds in C?? has been investigated in detail at pressures below 2.2?GPa and up to 750?K. Fullerene samples were heated in a temperature gradient to obtain data on the formation of dimers and low-dimensional polymers along isobars. Intermolecular bonding was analyzed ex situ by Raman scattering, using both intramolecular modes and intermolecular stretching modes. Semi-quantitative reaction maps are given for the formation of dimers and chains. The activation energy for dimer formation decreases by 0.2?meV pm(-1) when intermolecular distances decrease and dimer formation is noticeably affected by the rotational state of molecules. Above 400-450?K larger oligomers are formed; below 1.4?GPa most of these are disordered, with small domains of linear chains, but above this the appearance of stretching modes indicates the existence of ordered one-dimensional polymers. At the highest pressures and temperatures two-dimensional polymers are also observed.

Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) clusters dataset: DFT relative energies, non-covalent interactions, and cartesian coordinates.

Project description:Theoretical understanding of dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) liquid depends on the understanding of the DMSO clusters. In this work, we provide the structures and the energetics of the DMSO clusters. The structures have been generated using ABCluster and further optimized at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory. The final structures have been optimized at two different levels of theory: PW6B95D3/aug-cc-pVDZ and ω B97XD/aug-cc-pVDZ. The Cartesian coordinates of the structures optimized at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory are also reported. The relative energies of the structures can be used to locate the most favorable structures of the DMSO clusters. The Cartesian coordinates of the structures can be used for further investigations on DMSO clusters. In addition, we report the data related to the quantum theory of atoms in molecule (QTAIM) analysis of the investigated clusters. The QTAIM data reported in this work can be used to understand and determine the nature of non-covalent interactions in DMSO clusters. For further reading and discussion on the data reported here, please report to the original manuscript Malloum and Conradie (2022) [1].

Non-covalent synthesis of supermicelles with complex architectures using spatially confined hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Project description:Nature uses orthogonal interactions over different length scales to construct structures with hierarchical levels of order and provides an important source of inspiration for the creation of synthetic functional materials. Here, we report the programmed assembly of monodisperse cylindrical block comicelle building blocks with crystalline cores to create supermicelles using spatially confined hydrogen-bonding interactions. We also demonstrate that it is possible to further program the self-assembly of these synthetic building blocks into structures of increased complexity by combining hydrogen-bonding interactions with segment solvophobicity. The overall approach offers an efficient, non-covalent synthesis method for the solution-phase fabrication of a range of complex and potentially functional supermicelle architectures in which the crystallization, hydrogen-bonding and solvophobic interactions are combined in an orthogonal manner.

Methyl groups as widespread Lewis bases in noncovalent interactions.

Project description:It is well known that, under certain conditions, C(sp3) atoms behave, via their σ-hole, as Lewis acids in tetrel bonding. Here, we show that methyl groups, when bound to atoms less electronegative than carbon, can counterintuitively participate in noncovalent interactions as electron density donors. Thousands of experimental structures are found in which methyl groups behave as Lewis bases to establish alkaline, alkaline earth, triel, tetrel, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen bonds. Theoretical calculations confirm the high directionality and significant strength of the interactions that arise from a common pattern based on the electron density holes model. Moreover, despite the absence of lone pairs, methyl groups are able to transfer charge from σ bonding orbitals into empty orbitals of the electrophile to reinforce the attractive interaction.

Weakening the Interchain Interactions in One Dimensional Cobalt(II) Coordination Polymers by Preventing Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonding.

Project description:The reaction of Co(NCS)2 with N-methylaniline leads to the formation of [Co(NCS)2(N-methylaniline)2]n (1), in which the cobalt(II) cations are octahedrally coordinated and linked into linear chains by pairs of thiocyanate anions. In contrast to [Co(NCS)2(aniline)2]n (2) reported recently, in which the Co(NCS)2 chains are linked by strong interchain N-H···S hydrogen bonding, such interactions are absent in 1. Computational studies reveal that the cobalt(II) ions in compound 1 show an easy-axis anisotropy that is lower than in 2, but with the direction of the easy axis being similar in both compounds. The high magnetic anisotropy is also confirmed by magnetic and FD-FT THz-EPR spectroscopy, which yield a consistent gz value. These investigations prove that the intrachain interactions in 1 are slightly higher than in 2. Magnetic measurements reveal that the critical temperature for magnetic ordering in 1 is significantly lower than in 2, which indicates that the elimination of the hydrogen bonds leads to a weakening of the interchain interactions. This is finally proven by FD-FT THz-EPR experiments, which show that the interchain interaction energy in the N-methylaniline compound 1 is nine-fold smaller than in the aniline compound 2.

The importance of tetrel bonding interactions with carbon in two arrestive iso-structural Cd(ii)-Salen coordination complexes: a comprehensive DFT overview in crystal engineering.

Project description:In this article, we describe the serendipitous synthesis of two remarkable iso-structural Cd(ii)-Salen complexes [L2Cd4(OAc)2(NCS)2] in the presence of H2L and NaSCN {where L = L1 (N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,2-diaminopropane) and L = L2 (N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-ethylenediamine) in 1 and 2, respectively}. The complexes were characterized by using elemental analysis, SEM-EDX, PXRD, spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. The X-ray crystal structure revealed that both complexes crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn, with unit cell parameters: a = 20.758(6), b = 11.022(3), c = 21.396(6) Å, V = 4895(2) Å3, and Z = 4. The inner N2O2 and outer O4 compartments are essentially occupied by two different Cd(ii) metal ions resulting from the de-protonated form of the ligand (L2-) with the Cd(1) metal ions adopting a capped octahedral geometry. At the same time, Cd(2) assumes a distorted trigonal prismatic geometry. The solid-state crystal structure involves various non-covalent supramolecular interactions delineated by Hirshfeld Surface and 2D fingerprint plot analysis. Noteworthily, interesting S⋯H, O⋯H, and N⋯H contacts were observed, which have identical percentages in both complexes. The sparse tetrel bonding interactions in the complex, involving the CH3 group, were evaluated in a new dimension of DFT. We observed this privileged bonding landscape that leads to the formation of self-assembled dimers in the crystal complexes. DFT-based MEP, RDG surface, NBO, and QTAIM/NCI plot investigation quantified such unique tetrel bonding interactions.

Covalent and Non-covalent Noble Gas Bonding Interactions in XeF n Derivatives (n = 2-6): A Combined Theoretical and ICSD Analysis.

Project description:A noble gas bond (also known in the literature as aerogen bond) can be defined as the attractive interaction between any element of group-18 acting as a Lewis acid and any electron rich atom of group of atoms, thus following the IUPAC recommendation available for similar ?,?-hole interactions involving elements of groups 17 (halogens) and 16 (chalcogens). A significant difference between noble gas bonding (NgB) and halogen (HaB) or chalcogen (ChB) bonding is that whilst the former is scarcely found in the literature, HaB and ChB are very common and their applications in important fields like catalysis, biochemistry or crystal engineering have exponentially grown in the last decade. This article combines theory and experiment to highlight the importance of non-covalent NgBs in the solid state of several xenon fluorides [XeFn]m+ were the central oxidation state of Xe varies from +2 to +6 and the number of fluorine atoms varies from n = 2 to 6. The compounds with an odd number of fluorine atoms (n = 3 and 5) are cationic (m = 1). The Inorganic Crystal Structural Database (ICSD) strongly evidences the relevance of NgBs in the solid state structures of xenon derivatives. The ability of Xe compounds to participate in ?,?-hole interactions has been studied using different types of electron donors (Lewis bases and anions) using DFT calculations (PBE1PBE-D3/def2-TZVP) and the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces.
