Halogen Bonding or Hydrogen Bonding between 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-piperidine-noxyl Radical and Trihalomethanes CHX3 (X=Cl,Br, I)

The halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes between 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-noxyl and trihalomethanes (CHX₃, X=Cl, Br, I) are simulated by computational quantum chem-istry. The molecular electrostatic potentials, geometrical parameters and interaction energy of halogen and hydrogen bonding complexes combined with natural bond orbital analysis are obtained. The results indicate that both halogen and hydrogen bonding interactions obey the order Cl相似文献   

Hydrogen Bonding versus Halogen Bonding: Spectroscopic Investigation of Gas-Phase Complexes Involving Bromide and Chloromethanes

Hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding are important non-covalent interactions that are known to occur in large molecular systems, such as in proteins and crystal structures. Although these interactions are important on a large scale, studying hydrogen and halogen bonding in small, gas-phase chemical species allows for the binding strengths to be determined and compared at a fundamental level. In this study, anion photoelectron spectra are presented for the gas-phase complexes involving bromide and the four chloromethanes, CH₃Cl, CH₂Cl₂, CHCl₃, and CCl₄. The stabilisation energy and electron binding energy associated with each complex are determined experimentally, and the spectra are rationalised by high-level CCSD(T) calculations to determine the non-covalent interactions binding the complexes. These calculations involve nucleophilic bromide and electrophilic bromine interactions with chloromethanes, where the binding motifs, dissociation energies and vertical detachment energies are compared in terms of hydrogen bonding and halogen bonding.     

Hydrogen and halogen bonding in the haloetherification products in chalcone

Cooperative action of hydrogen and halogen bonding in the reaction of 3‐(3,5‐di‐tert‐butyl‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐1‐phenylprop‐2‐en‐1‐one with HCl or HBr in alcohol medium under microwave irradiation (20 W, 80 °C, 10 min) allows the isolation of the haloetherification products (2S,3S)‐3‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐chloro‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2‐chloro‐3‐ethoxy‐1‐phenylpropan‐1‐one, C₂₁H₂₄Cl₂O₃, (2S,3S)‐2‐bromo‐3‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐bromo‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐3‐methoxy‐1‐phenylpropan‐1‐one, C₂₀H₂₂Br₂O₃, and (2S,3S)‐2‐bromo‐3‐(3‐tert‐butyl‐5‐bromo‐4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐3‐ethoxy‐1‐phenylpropan‐1‐one, C₂₁H₂₄Br₂O₃, in good yields. Both types of noncovalent interactions, e.g. hydrogen and halogen bonds, are formed to stabilize the obtained products in the solid state.     

Measuring the Relative Hydrogen‐Bonding Strengths of Alcohols in Aprotic Organic Solvents

Voltammetric experiments with 9,10‐anthraquinone and 1,4‐benzoquinone performed under controlled moisture conditions indicate that the hydrogen‐bond strengths of alcohols in aprotic organic solvents can be differentiated by the electrochemical parameter ΔE_p^red=|E_p^red(1)?E_p^red(2)|, which is the potential separation between the two one‐electron reduction processes. This electrochemical parameter is inversely related to the strength of the interactions and can be used to differentiate between primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols, and even diols, as it is sensitive to both their steric and electronic properties. The results are highly reproducible across two solvents with substantially different hydrogen‐bonding properties (CH₃CN and CH₂Cl₂) and are supported by density functional theory calculations. This indicates that the numerous solvent–alcohol interactions are less significant than the quinone–alcohol hydrogen‐bonding interactions. The utility of ΔE_p^red was illustrated by comparisons between 1) 3,3,3‐trifluoro‐n‐propanol and 1,3‐difluoroisopropanol and 2) ethylene glycol and 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol.     

The intermolecular interaction in the charge-transfer complexes between amines and halogens: A theoretical characterization of the trends in halogen bonding

The trends in the properties of prereactive or charge-transfer complexes formed between the simple amines NH₃, CH₃NH₂, (CH₃)₂NH, and (CH₃)₃N and the halogens F₂, ClF, Cl₂, BrF, BrCl, and Br₂ were investigated by the ab initio restricted Hartree–Fock approach, the Møller–Plesset second-order method, and with several density functional theory variants using extended polarized basis sets. The most important structural parameters, the stabilization energies, the dipole moments, and other quantities characterizing the intermolecular halogen bond in these complexes are monitored, discussed, and compared. A wide range of interaction strengths is spanned in these series. Successive methyl substitution of the amine as well as increasing polarities and polarizabilities of the halogen molecules both systematically enhance the signature of charge-transfer interaction. These trends in halogen bonds of varying strength, in many aspects, parallel the features of hydrogen bonding.     

Synthesis of Densely Functionalised 5‐Halogen‐1,3‐oxazin‐2‐ones by Halogen‐Mediated Regioselective Cyclisation of N‐Cbz‐Protected Propargylic Amines: A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study

A very efficient synthesis of 5‐halogen‐1,3‐oxazin‐2‐ones has been accomplished by the halocyclisation reaction of chiral nonracemic N‐carbobenzyloxy (N‐Cbz)‐protected propargylic amines by using I₂, Br₂ and Cl₂ as electrophile sources. The nature of the halogen influences the reaction time and yield. However, in all cases the reaction is totally regioselective taking place through a 6‐endo‐dig process regardless of the nature of the halogen and of the substituents in the starting material. To rationalise the experimental results, theoretical studies at the B3LYP/6‐311G* level have been performed.     

Mono Halogen Substituted Calix[4]pyrroles: Fine-tuning the Anion Binding Properties of Calix[4]pyrrole

Abstract

Single halogen atom (i. e. I, Br, Cl and F) substituted calix[4]pyrroles, compounds 2, 3, 4 and 5, were synthesized. Studies of these systems reveal that replacement of a single β-pyrrolic hydrogen atom can increase the anion binding ability of calix[4]pyrroles for a variety of anions (e. g. Cl^?, Br^?, H₂PO₄ ^? and HSO^? ₄) relative to normal non-halogen substituted calix[4]pyrrole 1. In the case of chloride anion, the expected relative affinity sequence of 5 > 4 > 3 > 2 was observed. This was not found to be true for Br^?, H²PO^? ₄, and HSO^? ₄. Here, the chlorine substituted calix[4]pyrrole 4 was found to display a slightly higher affinity in the case of each anion than the fluorine-bearing derivative 5. This was rationalized in terms of intermolecular NH … F hydrogen bonding interactions being present in CD₂Cl₂ solutions of 5. Support for this latter conclusion came from concentration and temperature-dependent NMR spectroscopic studies.

A matched set of mono halogen substituted calix[4]pyrroles was used to study in detail, the extent to which halogen substituents may be used to fine-tune the anion binding properties of calix[4]pyrroles.     

Experimental and Computational Probes of the Nature of Halogen Bonding: Complexes of Bromine‐Containing Molecules with Bromide Anions

The nature of halogen bonding is examined via experimental and computational characterizations of a series of associates between electrophilic bromocarbons R? Br (R? Br=CBr₃F, CBr₃NO₂, CBr₃COCBr₃, CBr₃CONH₂, CBr₃CN, etc.) and bromide anions. The [R? Br, Br^?] complexes show intense absorption bands in the 200–350 nm range which follow the same Mulliken correlation as those observed for the charge‐transfer associates of bromide anions with common organic π‐acceptors. For a wide range of the associates, intermolecular R? Br???Br^? separations decrease and intramolecular C? Br bond lengths increase proportionally to the Br^?→R? Br charge transfer; and the energies of R? Br???Br^? bonds are correlated with the linear combination of orbital (charge‐transfer) and electrostatic interactions. On the whole, spectral, structural and thermodynamic characteristics of the [R? Br, Br^?] complexes indicate that besides electrostatics, the orbital (charge‐transfer) interactions play a vital role in the R? Br???Br^? halogen bonding. This indicates that in addition to controlling the geometries of supramolecular assemblies, halogen bonding leads to electronic coupling between interacting species, and thus affects reactivity of halogenated molecules, as well as conducting and magnetic properties of their solid‐state materials.     

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study of ClF in Water: Halogen Bonding Interaction in Liquid

Does the halogen bonding interaction co-exist in liquid when it competes with the hydrogen bonding interaction? The classical molecular dynamics simulations for the solvation properties of ClF molecule in water are performed with the Lennard-Jones plus Coulomb electrostatic potential parameters that are optimized with ab initio interaction energy calculations for the pre-reactive H₂O…ClF complex. We find that the halogen bonding interactions occur between O and Cl atoms and have the comparable strength and population with respect to the hydrogen bonding interactions of Cl…H.     

A computational study on the nature of the halogen bond between sulfides and dihalogen molecules

The characteristics and nature of the halogen bonding in a series of B···XY (B = H₂S, H₂CS, (CH₂)₂S; XY = ClF, Cl₂, BrF, BrCl, Br₂) complexes were analyzed by means of the quantum theory of “atoms in molecules” (QTAIM) and “natural bond orbital” (NBO) methodology at the second-order Møller-Plesset (MP2) level. Electrostatic potential, bond length, interaction energy, topological properties of the electron density, the dipole moment, and the charge transfer were investigated systematically. For the same electron donor, the interaction energies follows the B···BrF > B···ClF > B···BrCl > B···Br₂ > B···Cl₂ > B···ClBr order. For the same electron acceptor, the interaction energies increase in the sequence of H₂S, H₂CS, and (CH₂)₂S. Topological analyses show these halogen bonding interactions belong to weak interactions with an electrostatic nature. It was found that the strength of the halogen-bonding interaction correlates well with the electrostatic potential associated with halogen atom and the amount of charge transfer from sulfides to dihalogen molecules, indicating that electrostatic interaction plays an important role in these halogen bonds. Charge transfer is also an important factor in the halogen bonds involved with dihalogen molecules.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 5. The4 N-cyclohexyl derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone,⁴ N-cyclohexyl-2-[1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide (HL4CH), have been prepared and spectrally characterised. Both the size of the cyclohexyl-group attached at⁴N as well as the⁴N hydrogen affect the stoichiometry and stereochemistry of the isolated complexes. The large cyclohexyl-group evidently causes the isolation of [Fe(HL4CH) (L4CH)H₂O](ClO₄) instead of the expected [Fe(L4CH)₂]ClO₄[Co(L4CH)Br] instead of [Co(HL4CH)Br₂], and [Ni(L4CH)Br] instead of [Ni(HL4CH)₂Br₂]. The presence of the hydrogen at⁴N presumably hinders the deprotonation of HL4CH on complex formation since [Cu(HL4CH)Cl₂] was isolated rather than [CuLCl], which occurs when the thiosemicarbazone has⁴N with two alkyl groups or incorporated in a ring. Further, although we prepared [Ni(L4CH)Br], complexes of this stoichiometry are planar and diamagnetle when⁴N does not have a hydrogen(s) attached to it rather than tetrahedral and paramagnetic as has been found for the present complex.     

Secondary interactions in the iso­morphous compounds 2,6‐bis­(chloro­methyl)­pyridinium chloride and 2,6‐bis­(bromo­methyl)­pyridinium bromide

The title compounds, C₇H₈Cl₂N⁺·Cl⁻ and C₇H₈Br₂N⁺·Br⁻, are isomorphous. In the crystal packing, layers parallel to the ac plane are formed by a classical N⁺—H⋯X⁻ hydrogen bond (X = halogen) and two X⋯X contacts. A third X⋯X contact links the layers, and a fourth, which is however very long, completes a ladder‐like motif of halogen atoms. Hydro­gen bonds of the form C—H⋯X play at best a subordinate role in the packing.     

A Pronounced Halogen Effect on the Organogelation Properties of Peripherally Halogen Functionalized Poly(benzyl ether) Dendrons

An interesting halogen‐substituent effect on the organogelation properties of poly(benzyl ether) dendrons is reported. A new class of poly(benzyl ether) dendrons with halo substituents decorating their periphery was synthesized and fully characterized. A systematic study on the gelation abilities, thermotropic behaviors, aggregated microstructures, and mechanical properties of self‐assembled organogels was performed to elucidate the halogen‐substituent effects on their organogelation propensity. It was found that the exact halogen substitutions on the periphery of dendrons exert a profound effect on the organogelation propensity, and dendrons G _n ‐Cl (n=2, 3) and G₂‐I proved to be highly efficient organogelators. The cooperation of multiple π–π, dispersive halogen, CH–π, and weak C?H ??? X hydrogen‐bonding interactions were found to be the key contributor to forming the self‐assembled gels. Dendritic organogels formed from G _n ‐Cl (n=2, 3) in 1,2‐dichloroethane exhibited thixotropic‐responsive properties, and such thixotropic organogels are promising materials for future research and applications.     

Strong CH⋅⋅⋅Halide Hydrogen Bonds from 1,2,3‐Triazoles Quantified Using Pre‐Organized and Shape‐Persistent Triazolophanes

The structures associated with halide (F^?, Cl^?, Br^?) complexation inside CH hydrogen‐bonding macrocyclic receptors, called triazolophanes, are characterized using density functional theory (DFT). The associated binding energies in the gas and solution phases are evaluated. The ruffles in the empty triazolophane become smoothed‐out upon Cl^?‐ and Br^?‐ion binding directly into the middle of the cavity. The largely pre‐organized cavity morphs into an elliptical shape to facilitate shorter hydrogen bonds in the north and south regions and longer ones west and east. The smaller F^? ion sits in, and flattens‐out, only the north (or south) region. The 1,2,3‐triazoles show shorter CH???Cl^? contacts than for the phenylenes. Both Cl^? and Br^? show the same binding geometries but Cl^? has a larger binding energy consistent with its stronger Lewis basicity. Model triads were used to decompose the overall binding energy into those of its components. In the course of this triad analysis, anion polarization was identified and its contribution to the triad???Cl^? binding energy estimated. Consequently, the binding energies for the individual aryl units within the comparatively non‐polarized triazolophanes were estimated. The 1,2,3‐triazoles are twice as strong as the phenylenes thus contributing most of the interaction energy to Cl^?‐ion binding. Therefore, the 1,2,3‐triazoles appear to approach the hydrogen bond strengths of the NH donors of pyrrole units.     

Cooperativity between the Halogen Bond and the Hydrogen Bond in H3N⋅⋅⋅XY⋅⋅⋅HF Complexes (X,Y=F,Cl, Br)

Ab initio calculations are used to provide information on H₃N???XY???HF triads (X, Y=F, Cl, Br) each having a halogen bond and a hydrogen bond. The investigated triads include H₃N???Br₂‐HF, H₃N???Cl₂???HF, H₃N???BrCI???HF, H₃N???BrF???HF, and H₃N???ClF???HF. To understand the properties of the systems better, the corresponding dyads are also investigated. Molecular geometries, binding energies, and infrared spectra of monomers, dyads, and triads are studied at the MP2 level of theory with the 6‐311++G(d,p) basis set. Because the primary aim of this study is to examine cooperative effects, particular attention is given to parameters such as cooperative energies, many‐body interaction energies, and cooperativity factors. The cooperative energy ranges from ?1.45 to ?4.64 kcal mol^?1, the three‐body interaction energy from ?2.17 to ?6.71 kcal mol^?1, and the cooperativity factor from 1.27 to 4.35. These results indicate significant cooperativity between the halogen and hydrogen bonds in these complexes. This cooperativity is much greater than that between hydrogen bonds. The effect of a halogen bond on a hydrogen bond is more pronounced than that of a hydrogen bond on a halogen bond.     

Hydrogen and Halogen Bonding to Au(I) Fluorido Complexes

The hydrogen bonding in the Au(I) complex [Au(F ⋅ HF)(SPhos)] (SPhos=dicyclohexyl(2’,6’-dimethoxy[1,1’-biphenyl]-2-yl)phosphane) ( 1 a ⋅ HF) has been analysed by IR and NMR measurements, revealing the formation of an unsymmetrical bifluoride moiety. The data are in excellent agreement with DFT calculations. Comparisons to analogous complexes bearing NHC (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands demonstrated a comparable bonding situation. The identity of the halogen bond in the compound [Au(F ⋅ IC₆F₅)(SPhos)] ( 1 a ⋅ IC₆F₅) in CD₂Cl₂ has been estimated, and van't Hoff data for the equilibrium between [Au(F)(SPhos)] ( 1 a ) and IC₆F₅ with [Au(F ⋅ IC₆F₅)(SPhos)] are ΔH⁰=−8.1(3) kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔS⁰=−36(1) J (mol K)⁻¹. The latter are also in agreement with DFT calculations. For all calculations, comparisons between an explicit and implicit solvent model were drawn. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies were performed for [Au(F ⋅ 2IC₆F₅)(BrettPhos)] ⋅ 2IC₆F₅ (BrettPhos=2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)-3,6-dimethoxy-2’,4’,6’-triisopropyl-1,1’-biphenyl) ( 1 b ⋅ 4IC₆F₅) demonstrating the presence of halogen bonds to Au(I) fluorido complexes in the solid state.     

Comparative Study of Halogen‐ and Hydrogen‐Bond Interactions between Benzene Derivatives and Dimethyl Sulfoxide

The halogen bond, similar to the hydrogen bond, is an important noncovalent interaction and plays important roles in diverse chemistry‐related fields. Herein, bromine‐ and iodine‐based halogen‐bonding interactions between two benzene derivatives (C₆F₅Br and C₆F₅I) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) are investigated by using IR and NMR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. The results are compared with those of interactions between C₆F₅Cl/C₆F₅H and DMSO. First, the interaction energy of the hydrogen bond is stronger than those of bromine‐ and chlorine‐based halogen bonds, but weaker than iodine‐based halogen bond. Second, attractive energies depend on 1/rⁿ, in which n is between three and four for both hydrogen and halogen bonds, whereas all repulsive energies are found to depend on 1/r^8.5. Third, the directionality of halogen bonds is greater than that of the hydrogen bond. The bromine‐ and iodine‐based halogen bonds are strict in this regard and the chlorine‐based halogen bond only slightly deviates from 180°. The directional order is iodine‐based halogen bond>bromine‐based halogen bond>chlorine‐based halogen bond>hydrogen bond. Fourth, upon the formation of hydrogen and halogen bonds, charge transfers from DMSO to the hydrogen‐ and halogen‐bond donors. The CH₃ group contributes positively to stabilization of the complexes.     

Supramolecular Assembly of Bis(benzimidazole)pyridine: An Extended Anisotropic Ligand For Highly Birefringent Materials

Four new bis(benzimidazole)pyridine (BBP)‐containing compounds Zn(BBP)Cl[Au(CN)₂], Mn(BBP)[Au(CN)₂]₂?H₂O, Mn(BBP)Br₂(MeOH) and Mn(BBP)Cl₂(MeOH)?MeOH have been synthesized and structurally characterized and their birefringence values (Δn) determined. The structure of Zn(BBP)Cl[Au(CN)₂] contains a hydrogen‐bonded dimer of Zn(BBP)Cl[Au(CN)₂] units which propagate into a 1D chain through Au–Au interactions, although the crystals are of poor optical quality. The supramolecular structure of Mn(BBP)[Au(CN)₂]₂?H₂O forms a 1D coordination polymer through chains of Mn(BBP)[Au(CN)₂]₂ units, each containing one bridging Au(CN)₂ and one forming a 2D sheet through Au–Au interactions. The supramolecular structures of Mn(BBP)Br₂(MeOH) and Mn(BBP)Cl₂(MeOH)?MeOH are very similar, consisting of a complex hydrogen‐bonded network between NH imidazole, methanol and halide groups to align BBP building blocks. In the plane of the primary crystal growth direction, the birefringence values of the three Mn‐containing materials were Δn=0.08(1), 0.538(3) and 0.69(3), respectively. The latter two birefringence values are larger than in the related 2,2′;6′2′′‐terpyridine systems, placing them among the most birefringent solids reported. These compounds illustrate the utility of extending the π‐system of the building block and incorporating hydrogen‐bonding sites as design elements for highly birefringent materials and also illustrates the effect on the measurable birefringence of the crystal quality, growth direction and structural alignment of the anisotropic BBP building blocks.     

含硫脲和酰胺单元的新型杯［4］芳烃中性氟离子受体

Two-armed neutral anion receptors (4,5), calix[4]arenes beating thiourea and amide binding sites, were prepared and examined their anion-binding ability by the UV-vis spectra. The results of non-linear curve fitting and Job plot indicate that 4 or 5 forms 1：1 stoichiometry complex with fluoride by hydrogen bonding interactions. Receptors 4 and 5 have an excellent selectivity for fluoride but have no binding ability with acetate, dihydrogen phosphate and the halogen anions (Cl^-,Br^-,I^-).
