Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Intermolecular Interactions of Cu（II） Complexes with Methyl- benzoic Acid （MBA） and 1,10-Phenanthroline

Two cupric complexes containing methylbenzoic acid have been prepared and crystallized by solvent evaporation method in DMF. The single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that they are dicaryon complexes. Complex I with formula of [Cu2（m- MBA）4DMF2] crystallizes in monoclinic with space group of P21/c and complex 2 with formula of [Cuz（o-MBA）ffo-phen）2]·NO3·H2O crystallizes in triclinic with space group of P I. The weak interactions including C-H...O hydrogen bonds, C-H…π interactions and π-π stacking in the structures of two complexes are observed from the X-ray crystallographic data. In addition, there are still classical hydrogen bonds in 2. The different strength of intermolecular interaction in the structure is reflected on their different thermal stability measured by thermal gravimetric analysis and 2D-1R correlation spectroscopy of two complexes. The study of weak interactions is meaningful to provide supporting data for supramolecular chemistry theory and potential applications in molecular biology.

Unraveling weak interactions in aniline-pyrrole dimer clusters

Weak intermolecular interactions in aniline-pyrrole dimer clusters have been studied by the dispersion-corrected density functional theory(DFT) calculations. Two distinct types of hydrogen bonds are demonstrated with optimized geometric structures and largest interaction energy moduli. Comprehensive spectroscopic analysis is also addressed revealing the orientation-dependent interactions by noting the altered red-shifts of the infrared and Raman activities. Then we employ natural bond orbital(NBO)analysis and atom in molecules(AIM) theory to have determined the origin and relative energetic contributions of the weak interactions in these systems. NBO and AIM calculations confirm the V-shaped dimer cluster is dominated by N.H···N and C.H···π hydrogen bonds, while the J-aggregated isomer is stabilized by N.H···π, n→π* and weak π···π* stacking interactions.The noncovalent interactions are also demonstrated via energy decomposition analysis associated with electrostatic and dispersion contributions.
