The nature of multiple boron-nitrogen bonds studied using electron localization function (ELF), electron density (AIM), and natural bond orbital (NBO) methods.

ABSTRACT: Local nature of the boron-nitrogen (BN) bonding with different formal multiplicities (B?N, B=N, B-N) have been investigated for 25 experimentally established organoboron molecules in both real and the Hilbert space, using topological analysis of electron localization function (ELF), electron density (AIM), and natural bond orbital (NBO) method. Each BN bond has been represented (ELF) by the bonding disynaptic attractor V(B,N), with the basin electron population between 5.72e and 1.83e, confirming possible existence of all the three bond types. A covalent character of bonding can be associated with the dative mechanism due to the V(B,N) bonding basin formed mainly (91-96%) by the N electron density. Similarly, the NBO method shows 2-center natural orbitals, consisting largely of the hybrids from the N atom. The AIM analysis yields the features typical for shared (H(3,-1)(r)??0) interactions. The delocalization indices, describing electron exchanges between B and N quantum atoms, are smaller than 1.5, even for formally very short triple B?N bonds. Graphical abstract .

Project description:Theoretical research on the keto-enol tautomerization of 2-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-1-aza azulene (2HPhAZ) and its thiol-thione (2MPhAZ) analouge has been performed using the density functional B3LYP method with the 6-311 + + G(2d,2p) basis set in gas and ethanol phases. The findings of the MO computation on the energy scale and the prediction of the frontier molecular orbital (FMO) energies demonstrate that the tautomeric structures exist in a static mixture in the ground state, with the enol and thiol structure being more stable than the keto and thione structures in gas phase. The ethanol solvent causes some reordering of the relative stability of 2HPhAZ and 2MPhAZ conformers. The geometries created at the B3LYP/6-311 + + G(2d,2p) level of theory were used for NBO analysis. In the tautomerization of 2HPhAZ and its mercapto analogue 2-(2-Mercaptophenyl)-1-azaazulene (2MPhAZ), it has been found that the O(S)-C sigma bond is weak due to nO(S) -> σ*C25-O26(S26) and nO(S) -> σ*C15-N16 delocalization. It is also noted that the resulting p character of the corresponding oxygen (sulfur) natural hybrid orbital (NHO) of σO(S)-C bond orbital is related to the decreased occupancy of the localized σO(S)-C orbital in the idealized Lewis structure or the increased occupancy of σ*O(S)-C of the non-Lewis orbital and their subsequent impact on molecular stability and geometry (bond lengths) in gas phase and ethanol. Additionally, the energy of charge transfer decreases as the potential rotamers' Hammett constants (R1-R3 for O(S) atoms) increase. The partial charge distribution on the skeleton atoms demonstrates that the intra- and intermolecular interactions can be significantly influenced by the electrostatic attraction or repulsion between atoms. Lastly, the currently applied NBO-based HB strength indicator enables a fair prediction of the frequency of the proton donor NH stretching mode, but this simple picture is hidden by abundant hype conjugative effects.

Project description:The computational modeling supported with experimental results can explain the overall structural packing by predicting the hydrogen bond interactions present in any cocrystals (active pharmaceutical ingredients + coformer) as well as salts. In this context, the hydrogen bonding synthons, physiochemical properties (chemical reactivity and stability), and drug-likeliness behavior of proposed nicotinamide-oxalic acid (NIC-OXA) salt have been reported by using vibrational spectroscopic signatures (IR and Raman spectra) and quantum chemical calculations. The NIC-OXA salt was prepared by reactive crystallization method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques were used for the characterization and validation of NIC-OXA salt. The spectroscopic signatures revealed that (N7-H8)/(N23-H24) of the pyridine ring of NIC, (C═O), and (C-O) groups of OXA were forming the intermolecular hydrogen bonding (N-H⋯O-C), (C-H⋯O═C), and (N-H⋯O═C), respectively, in NIC-OXA salt. Additionally, the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) showed that (C10-H22⋯O1) and (C26-H38⋯O4) are two unconventional hydrogen bonds present in NIC-OXA salt. Also, the natural bond orbital analysis was performed to find the charge transfer interactions and revealed the strongest hydrogen bonds (N7-H8⋯O5)/(N23-H24⋯O2) in NIC-OXA salt. The frontier molecular orbital (FMO) analysis suggested more reactivity and less stability of NIC-OXA salt in comparison to NIC-CA cocrystal and NIC. The global and local reactivity descriptors calculated and predicted that NIC-OXA salt is softer than NIC-CA cocrystal and NIC. From MESP of NIC-OXA salt, it is clear that electrophilic (N7-H8)/(N23-H24), (C6═O4)/(C3═O1) and nucleophilic (C10-H22)/(C26-H38), (C6-O5)/(C3-O2) reactive groups in NIC and OXA, respectively, neutralize after the formation of NIC-OXA salt, confirming the presence of hydrogen bonding interactions (N7-H8⋯O5-C6) and (N23-H24⋯O2-C3). Lipinski's rule was applied to check the activeness of salt as an orally active form. The results shed light on several features of NIC-OXA salt that can further lead to the improvement in the physicochemical properties of NIC.
