Theoretical study on two types of weak interactions between methylenecyclopropane and XY (X,Y = H,F, Cl,and Br)

We present theoretical evidence that the two types of interactions exist in the complexes formed between methylenecyclopropane (MECP) and XY (X, Y = H, F, Cl, and Br). Two seats of XY interacted with MECP are located: (a) is via the pseudo‐π bonding electron pair associated with a C? C bond of the cyclopropane ring and (b) is via the typical‐π bonding of electron pair of the C?C bond of MECP. These two types of weak interactions are compared based on the calculated geometries, interaction energies, frequency changes, and topological properties of electron density. The integration of electron density over the interatomic surface is found to be a good measure for the strength of weak interaction. Furthermore, the total electron density and separated σ and π electron densities are also computed and discussed in this article. The separated electron density shows σ electron density determined the strength and π electron density influenced the direction of the hydrogen/halogen bond. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Single‐electron halogen bond: Ab initio study

Ab initio calculations have been performed on single‐electron halogen bonds between methyl radical and bromine‐containing molecules to gain a deeper insight into the nature of such noncovalent interactions. Bader's atoms in molecules (AIM) theory have also been applied to the analysis of the linking of the single‐electron halogen bond. Various characteristics of the R? Br…CH₃ interaction, i.e., binding energies, geometrical parameters and topological properties of the electron density have been determined. The presence of the bond critical points (BCPs) between the bromine atom and methyl radical and the values of electron density and Laplacian of electron density at these BCPs indicate the closed‐shell interactions in the complexes. The single‐electron halogen bonds, which are significantly weaker than the normal halogen bonds, exhibit equally bond strength as compared to the single‐electron hydrogen bond. It has been also found that plotting of the binding energies versus topological properties of the electron density at the BCPs gives two straight lines. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The structure and chemical bonding in the N(2)-CuX and N(2)...XCu (X = F, Cl, Br) systems studied by means of the molecular orbital and Quantum Chemical Topology methods

Ab initio studies carried out at the MP2(full)/6-311+G(2df) and MP2(full)/aug-cc-pVTZ-PP computational levels reveals that dinitrogen (N(2)) and cuprous halides (CuX, X = F, Cl, Br) form three types of systems with the side-on and end-on coordination of N(2): N[triple bond]N-CuX (C(infinity v)), N(2)-CuX (C(2v)) stabilized by the donor-acceptor bonds and weak van der Waals complexes N(2)...XCu (C(2v)) with dominant dispersive forces. An electron density transfer between the N(2) and CuX depends on type of the N(2) coordination and a comparison of the NPA charges yields the [N[triple bond]N](delta+)-[CuX](delta-) and [N(2)](delta-)-[CuX](delta+) formula. According to the NBO analysis, the Cu-N coordinate bonds are governed by predominant LP(N2)-->sigma*(Cu-X) "2e-delocalization" in the most stable N[triple bond]N-CuX systems, meanwhile back donation LP(Cu)-->pi*(N-N) prevails in less stable N(2)-CuX molecules. A topological analysis of the electron density (AIM) presents single BCP between the Cu and N nuclei in the N[triple bond]N-CuX, two BCPs corresponding to two donor-acceptor Cu-N bonds in the N(2)-CuX and single BCP between electron density maximum of the N[triple bond]N bond and halogen nucleus in the van der Waals complexes N(2)...XCu. In all systems values of the Laplacian nabla(2)rho(r)(r(BCP)) are positive and they decrease following a trend of the complex stability i.e. N[triple bond]N-CuX (C(infinity v)) > N(2)-CuX (C(2v)) > N(2)...XCu (C(2v)). A topological analysis of the electron localization function (ELF) reveals strongly ionic bond in isolated CuF and a contribution of covalent character in the Cu-Cl and Cu-Br bonds. The donor-acceptor bonds Cu-N are characterized by bonding disynaptic basins V(Cu,N) with attractors localized at positions corresponding to slightly distorted lone pairs V(N) in isolated N(2). In the N[triple bond]N-CuX systems, there were no creation of any new bonding attractors in regions where classically the donor-acceptor bonds are expected and there is no sign of typical covalent bond Cu-N with the bonding pair. Calculations carried out for the N[triple bond]N-CuX reveal small polarization of the electron density in the N[triple bond]N bond, which is reflected by the bond polarity index being in range of 0.14 (F) to 0.11 (Cl).     

Can QTAIM topological parameters be a measure of hydrogen bonding strength?

The block-localized wave function (BLW) method, which is the simplest variant of ab initio valence bond (VB) theory, together with the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) approach, have been used to probe the intramolecular hydrogen bonding interactions in a series of representative systems of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonds (RAHBs). RAHB is characteristic of the cooperativity between the π-electron delocalization and hydrogen bonding interactions and is identified in many biological systems. While the deactivation of the π resonance in these RAHB systems by the use of the BLW method is expected to considerably weaken the hydrogen bonding strength, little change on the topological properties of electron densities at hydrogen bond critical points (HBCPs) is observed. This raises a question of whether the QTAIM topological parameters can be an effective measure of hydrogen bond strength.     

Electronic structures, intramolecular interactions, and aromaticity of substituted 1-(2-iminoethylidene) silan amine: a density functional study

The intramolecular hydrogen bond, molecular structure, π electrons delocalization, and vibrational frequencies in 1-(2-iminoethylidene) silan amine and its derivatives have been investigated by means of density functional method with 6-311++G** basis set, in gas phase, water, and carbon tetrachloride solutions. The obtained results showed that the hydrogen bond strength is mainly governed by resonance variations inside the chelate ring induced by the substituent groups. Furthermore, the topological properties of the electron density distributions for N–H···N intramolecular hydrogen bond were analyzed in terms of the Bader's theory of atoms in molecules. On the other hand, the aromaticity of the ring formed is measured using several well-established indices of aromaticity such as nucleus-independent chemical shift, harmonic oscillator models of the aromaticity, para-delocalization index, average two-center indices, aromatic fluctuation index, and π-fluctuation aromatic index. Natural population analysis data, the electron density and Laplacian properties, as well as γ(NH) and ν(NH) were further used for estimation of the hydrogen bonding interactions and the forces driving their formation.     

The many flavours of halogen bonds – message from experimental electron density and Raman spectroscopy

Experimental electron‐density studies based on high‐resolution diffraction experiments allow halogen bonds between heavy halogens to be classified. The topological properties of the electron density in Cl…Cl contacts vary smoothly as a function of the interaction distance. The situation is less straightforward for halogen bonds between iodine and small electronegative nucleophiles, such as nitrogen or oxygen, where the electron density in the bond critical point does not simply increase for shorter distances. The number of successful charge–density studies involving iodine is small, but at least individual examples for three cases have been observed. (a) Very short halogen bonds between electron‐rich nucleophiles and heavy halogen atoms resemble three‐centre–four‐electron bonds, with a rather symmetric heavy halogen and without an appreciable σ hole. (b) For a narrow intermediate range of halogen bonds, the asymmetric electronic situation for the heavy halogen with a pronounced σ hole leads to rather low electron density in the (3,?1) critical point of the halogen bond; the properties of this bond critical point cannot fully describe the nature of the associated interaction. (c) For longer and presumably weaker contacts, the electron density in the halogen bond critical point is only to a minor extent reduced by the presence of the σ hole and hence may be higher than in the aforementioned case. In addition to the electron density and its derived properties, the halogen–carbon bond distance opposite to the σ hole and the Raman frequency for the associated vibration emerge as alternative criteria to gauge the halogen‐bond strength. We find exceptionally long C—I distances for tetrafluorodiiodobenzene molecules in cocrystals with short halogen bonds and a significant red shift for their Raman vibrations.
