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=Cdme] (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-CH<sub>3</sub> can be weakly directional in the solid state (<i>P</i> ≤ 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<sup>-1</sup>) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me<sub>3</sub>N-CH<sub>3</sub>···OH<sub>2</sub>] (<b>2a</b>).  ...[more]
