On the Many-Body Expansion of an Interaction Energy of Some Supramolecular Halogen-Containing Capsules.

ABSTRACT: A tetramer model was investigated of a remarkably stable iodine-containing supramolecular capsule that was most recently characterized by other authors, who described emergent features of the capsule's formation. In an attempt to address the surprising fact that no strong pair-wise interactions between any of the respective components were experimentally detected in condensed phases, the DFT (density-functional theory) computational model was used to decompose the total stabilization energy as a sum of two-, three- and four-body contributions. This model considers complexes formed between either iodine or bromine and the crucial D_4d-symmetric form of octaaryl macrocyclic compound cyclo[8](1,3-(4,6-dimethyl)benzene that is surrounded by arenes of a suitable size, namely, either corannulene or coronene. A significant enthalpic gain associated with the formation of investigated tetramers was revealed. Furthermore, it is shown that the total stabilization of these complexes is dominated by binary interactions. Based on these findings, comments are made regarding the experimentally observed behavior of related multicomponent mixtures.

Behavior of counterpoise correction in many-body molecular clusters of organic compounds: Hartree-Fock interaction energy perspective.

Project description:The counterpoise (CP) correction by Boys and Bernardi has been well accepted as a reliable strategy to account for basis set superposition error (BSSE) in intermolecular complexes. The behavior of the CP correction was thoroughly studied in individual molecules of molecular complexes. This work studies the performance of the CP correction in many-body clusters including three-body clusters of organic compounds in the 3B-69 dataset. Additionally, we used crystal structures of polymorphs of benzene, aspirin, and oxalyl dihydrazide (ODH) to construct a many-body cluster dataset, abbreviated as the MBC-36 dataset, consisting of two, four and eight molecules, and 16 molecules in the case of benzene. A series of Dunning's basis sets-cc-pXZ and aug-cc-pXZ (X = D and T)-were used to predict CP-corrected Hartree-Fock (HF) interaction energies of the 3B-69 and MBC-36 datasets. The CP-corrected interaction energies were found to be basis-set independent, whereas the non-CP corrected interaction energies were found not to a follow a smooth exponential fitting as previously found for electronic energies of individual molecules. This observation was attributed to the presence of non-additive induction forces in some clusters. Two 2 × 2 × 2 supercells of benzene polymorphs were constructed to explore the local nature of BSSE effects. A cut-off radius of 10 Å was demonstrated to be sufficient to fully recover these effects. Although the behavior of CP correction was found to be non-conventional in many-body clusters of organic compounds, the use of a small basis set such as cc-pVDZ showed excellent performance in the prediction of HF interaction energies.

Halogen bonding as a supramolecular dynamics catalyst.

Project description:Dynamic processes have many implications in functional molecules, including catalysts, enzymes, host-guest complexes, and molecular machines. Here, we demonstrate via deuterium NMR relaxation experiments how halogen bonding directly impacts the dynamics in solid 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine cocrystals, catalyzing the methyl group rotation. On average, we observe a reduction of 56% in the rotational activation energy of the methyl groups in the halogen bonded cocrystals, contrasting the reduction of 36% in the hydrogen bonded cocrystals, with respect to pure 2,3,5,6-tetramethylpyrazine. Density functional theory calculations attribute this superior catalytic ability of the halogen bond to the simultaneous destabilization of the staggered conformation and stabilization of the gauche conformation, overall reducing the rotational energy barrier. Furthermore, the calculations suggest that the catalytic ability of the halogen bond may be tuneable, with stronger halogen bond donors acting as superior dynamics catalysts. Thus, halogen bonding may play a role in both assembly and promoting dynamical processes.

Surprising solvent-induced structural rearrangements in large [N···I<sup>+</sup>···N] halogen-bonded supramolecular capsules: an ion mobility-mass spectrometry study.

Project description:Coordinative halogen bonds have recently gained interest for the assembly of supramolecular capsules. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations now reveal the well-defined gas-phase structures of dimeric and hexameric [N···I+···N] halogen-bonded capsules with counterions located inside their cavities as guests. The solution reactivity of the large hexameric capsule shows the intriguing solvent-dependent equilibrium between the hexamer and an unprecedented pentameric [N···I+···N] halogen-bonded capsule, when the solvent is changed from chloroform to dichloromethane. The intrinsic flexibility of the cavitands enables this novel structure to adopt a pseudo-trigonal bipyramidal geometry with nine [N···I+···N] bonds along the edges and two pyridine binding sites uncomplexed.

Electrostatically Embedded Many-Body Expansion for Neutral and Charged Metalloenzyme Model Systems.

Project description:The electrostatically embedded many-body (EE-MB) method has proven accurate for calculating cohesive and conformational energies in clusters, and it has recently been extended to obtain bond dissociation energies for metal-ligand bonds in positively charged inorganic coordination complexes. In the present paper, we present four key guidelines that maximize the accuracy and efficiency of EE-MB calculations for metal centers. Then, following these guidelines, we show that the EE-MB method can also perform well for bond dissociation energies in a variety of neutral and negatively charged inorganic coordination systems representing metalloenzyme active sites, including a model of the catalytic site of the zinc-bearing anthrax toxin lethal factor, a popular target for drug development. In particular, we find that the electrostatically embedded three-body (EE-3B) method is able to reproduce conventionally calculated bond-breaking energies in a series of pentacoordinate and hexacoordinate zinc-containing systems with an average absolute error (averaged over 25 cases) of only 0.98 kcal/mol.

Supramolecular blueprint approach to metal-coordinated capsules.

Project description:An important problem in designing any large network is the assembly of systems that are resilient to change. From a chemical point of view, an analogy can be used where one requires supramolecular assemblies to maintain their dimensionality combined with limited structural perturbation in response to variation in its intermolecular framework. The identification of hydrogen-bonded framework patterns within experimentally known supramolecular assemblies that are structurally robust to disruption and selective hydrogen substitution are envisioned to act as a supramolecular blueprint or template for metal-ion retroinsertion. Here, we report the formation of a large neutral discrete pseudo-spherical coordination capsule assembled from 6 pyrogallol[4]arene ligands and 24 Cu(II) metal ions. Amazingly, this coordination capsule is structurally analogous to its hydrogen-bonded counterpart. This result shows a robust ability of pyrogallol[4]arene molecules to self-assemble into large hexameric cage structures from either the hydrogen-bonding or metal-ligand coordination process. The identification of robust supramolecular assemblies that conserve their structure in response to interchangeability between hydrogen-bonded networks for metal coordination, or inversely, represents an important advancement in supramolecular design.

Fluorinated azobenzenes as supramolecular halogen-bonding building blocks.

Project description:ortho-Fluoroazobenzenes are a remarkable example of bistable photoswitches, addressable by visible light. Symmetrical, highly fluorinated azobenzenes bearing an iodine substituent in para-position were shown to be suitable supramolecular building blocks both in solution and in the solid state in combination with neutral halogen bonding acceptors, such as lutidines. Therefore, we investigate the photochemistry of a series of azobenzene photoswitches. Upon introduction of iodoethynyl groups, the halogen bonding donor properties are significantly strengthened in solution. However, the bathochromic shift of the ???* band leads to a partial overlap with the n??* band, making it slightly more difficult to address. The introduction of iodine substituents is furthermore accompanied with a diminishing thermal half-life. A series of three azobenzenes with different halogen bonding donor properties are discussed in relation to their changing photophysical properties, rationalized by DFT calculations.

Shape-Selective Supramolecular Capsules for Actinide Precipitation and Separation.

Project description:Improving actinide separations is key to reducing barriers to medical and industrial actinide isotope production and to addressing the challenges associated with the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. Here, we report the first example of a supramolecular anion recognition process that can achieve this goal. We have designed a preorganized triamidoarene receptor that induces quantitative precipitation of the early actinides Th(IV), Np(IV), and Pu(IV) from industrially relevant conditions through the formation of self-assembled hydrogen-bonded capsules. Selectivity over the later An(III) elements is shown through modulation of the nitric acid concentration, and no precipitation of actinyl or transition-metal ions occurs. The Np, Pu, and Am precipitates were characterized structurally by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and reveal shape specificity of the internal hydrogen-bonding array for the encapsulated hexanitratometalates. This work complements ion-exchange resins for 5f-element separations and illustrates the significant potential of supramolecular separation methods that target anionic actinide species.

Fragment-Based Local Coupled Cluster Embedding Approach for the Quantification and Analysis of Noncovalent Interactions: Exploring the Many-Body Expansion of the Local Coupled Cluster Energy.

Project description:Herein, we introduce a fragment-based local coupled cluster embedding approach for the accurate quantification and analysis of noncovalent interactions in molecular aggregates. Our scheme combines two different expansions of the domain-based local pair natural orbital coupled cluster (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) energy: the many-body expansion (MBE) and the local energy decomposition (LED). The low-order terms in the MBE are initially computed in the presence of an environment that is treated at a low level of theory. Then, LED is used to decompose the energy of each term in the embedded MBE into additive fragment and fragment-pairwise contributions. This information is used to quantify the total energy of the system while providing at the same time in-depth insights into the nature and cooperativity of noncovalent interactions. Two different approaches are introduced and tested, in which the environment is treated at different levels of theory: the local coupled cluster in the Hartree-Fock (LCC-in-HF) method, in which the environment is treated at the HF level; and the electrostatically embedded local coupled cluster method (LCC-in-EE), in which the environment is replaced by point charges. Both schemes are designed to preserve as much as possible the accuracy of the parent local coupled cluster method for total energies, while being embarrassingly parallel and less memory intensive. These schemes appear to be particularly promising for the study of large and complex molecular aggregates at the coupled cluster level, such as condensed phase systems and protein-ligand interactions.

Energy transfer in N-component nanosystems enhanced by pulse-driven vibronic many-body entanglement.

Project description:The processing of energy by transfer and redistribution, plays a key role in the evolution of dynamical systems. At the ultrasmall and ultrafast scale of nanosystems, quantum coherence could in principle also play a role and has been reported in many pulse-driven nanosystems (e.g. quantum dots and even the microscopic Light-Harvesting Complex II (LHC-II) aggregate). Typical theoretical analyses cannot easily be scaled to describe these general N-component nanosystems; they do not treat the pulse dynamically; and they approximate memory effects. Here our aim is to shed light on what new physics might arise beyond these approximations. We adopt a purposely minimal model such that the time-dependence of the pulse is included explicitly in the Hamiltonian. This simple model generates complex dynamics: specifically, pulses of intermediate duration generate highly entangled vibronic (i.e. electronic-vibrational) states that spread multiple excitons - and hence energy - maximally within the system. Subsequent pulses can then act on such entangled states to efficiently channel subsequent energy capture. The underlying pulse-generated vibronic entanglement increases in strength and robustness as N increases.
