The intermolecular π‐hole···π‐electrons interactions between F2ZO (Z = C, Si, Ge) molecules and unsaturated hydrocarbons including acetylene, ethylene, 1,3‐butadiene and benzene were constructed to reveal the differences of tetrel bonds forming by carbon and heavier tetrel atoms. The ab initio computation in association with topological analysis of electron density, natural bond orbital, and energy decomposition analysis demonstrate that the strength of Si···π and Ge···π tetrel bonds is much stronger than that of C···π tetrel bonds. The Si···π and Ge···π tetrel bonds exhibit covalent or partially covalent interaction nature, while the weak C···π tetrel bonds display the hallmarks of noncovalent interaction, the electrostatic interaction is the primary influencing factor. The Si···π and Ge···π interactions are determined by both the σ‐ and π‐electron densities, while the C···π interactions are dominated mainly by the π‐electron densities. The π‐hole···π‐electrons tetrel bonds are dominated by electrostatic interaction, and polarization has a comparable contribution in the Si···π and Ge···π tetrel bonds. 相似文献

The potential applications of tetrel bonds involving π‐molecules in crystal materials and biological systems have prompted a theoretical investigation of the strength of π···σ‐hole tetrel bond in the systems with acetylene and its derivatives of CH3, AuPH3, Li, and Na as well as benzene as the π electron donors. A weak tetrel bond (ΔE < 15 kJ/mol) is found between acetylene and tetrel donor molecule TH3F (T = C, Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb). All substituents strengthen the π tetrel bond, but the electron‐donating sodium atoms have the largest enhancing effect and the interaction energy is up to about 24 kJ/mol in C2Na2‐CH3F. The electron‐donating ability of the AuPH3 fragment is intermediate between the methyl group and alkali metal atom. The origin of the stability of the π tetrel‐bonded complex is dependent on the nature of the tetrel donor and acceptor molecules and can be regulated by the substituents. 相似文献

Using ferrocenecarboxylic acid (FcCOOH) as organometallic ligand in the synthesis of heterometallic complexes led to the isolation of the compound [(FcCOO)Cu(bpy)2](BF4) · bpy · CH3OH. It was characterized by IR spectroscopy, EA, powder XRD, UV, and TGA measurements. Single‐crystal X‐ray structural analysis revealed that a unique 2D supramolecular network purely formed by aromatic π ··· π stacking interactions was observed, namely, {[(FcCOO)Cu(bpy)2](BF4) · bpy · CH3OH}∞ ( 1 ). The solid UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum revealed the optical energy gap of 1 to be 3.54 eV, which is dramatically blue shifted compared with the value of ferrocene. Experimental results of thermal analysis and electrochemical analysis show that 1 has good thermal and better electrochemical stability. 相似文献

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, such as π···π stacking, CH···π are very essential for supramolecular carbon nanostructures. Graphite is a typical homogenous carbon matter based on π···π stacking of graphene sheets. Even in systems not involving aromatic groups, the stability of diamondoid dimer and layer‐layer graphane dimer originates from C − H···H − C noncovalent interaction. In this article, the structures and properties of novel heterogeneous layer‐layer carbon‐nanostructures involving π···H‐C‐C‐H···π···H‐C‐C‐H stacking based on [n ]‐graphane and [n ]‐graphene and their derivatives are theoretically investigated for n = 16–54 using dispersion corrected density functional theory B3LYP‐D3 method. Energy decomposition analysis shows that dispersion interaction is the most important for the stabilization of both double‐ and multi‐layer‐layer [n ]‐graphane@graphene. Binding energy between graphane and graphene sheets shows that there is a distinct additive nature of CH···π interaction. For comparison and simplicity, the concept of H‐H bond energy equivalent number of carbon atoms (noted as NHEQ), is used to describe the strength of these noncovalent interactions. The NHEQ of the graphene dimers, graphane dimers, and double‐layered graphane@graphene are 103, 143, and 110, indicating that the strength of C‐H···π interaction is close to that of π···π and much stronger than that of C‐H···H‐C in large size systems. Additionally, frontier molecular orbital, electron density difference and visualized noncovalent interaction regions are discussed for deeply understanding the nature of the C‐H···π stacking interaction in construction of heterogeneous layer‐layer graphane@graphene structures. We hope that the present study would be helpful for creations of new functional supramolecular materials based on graphane and graphene carbon nano‐structures. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Halogen bonds involving an aromatic moiety as an acceptor, otherwise known as R?X???π interactions, have increasingly been recognized as being important in materials and in protein–ligand complexes. These types of interactions have been the subject of many recent investigations, but little is known about the ways in which the strengths of R?X???π interactions vary as a function of the relative geometries of the interacting pairs. Here we use the accurate CCSD(T) and SAPT2+3δMP2 methods to investigate the potential energy landscapes for systems of HBr, HCCBr, and NCBr complexed with benzene. It is found that only the separation between the complexed molecules have a strong effect on interaction strength while other geometric parameters, such as tilting and shifting R?Br???π donor relative to the benzene plane, affect these interactions only mildly. Importantly, it is found that the C6v (T‐shaped) configuration is not the global minimum for any of the dimers investigated. 相似文献

Noncovalent interactions involving aromatic rings, such as π‐stacking and CH/π interactions, are central to many areas of modern chemistry. However, recent studies proved that aromaticity is not required for stacking interactions, since similar interaction energies were computed for several aromatic and aliphatic dimers. Herein, the nature and origin of π/π, σ/σ, and σ/π dispersion interactions has been investigated by using dispersion‐corrected density functional theory, energy decomposition analysis, and the recently developed noncovalent interaction (NCI) method. Our analysis shows that π/π and σ/σ stacking interactions are equally important for the benzene and cyclohexane dimers, explaining why both compounds have similar boiling points. Also, similar dispersion forces are found in the benzene???methane and cyclohexane???methane complexes. However, for systems larger than naphthalene, there are enhanced stacking interactions in the aromatic dimers adopting a parallel‐displaced configuration compared to the analogous saturated systems. Although dispersion plays a decisive role in stabilizing all the complexes, the origin of the π/π, σ/σ, and σ/π interactions is different. The NCI method reveals that the dispersion interactions between the hydrogen atoms are responsible for the surprisingly strong aliphatic interactions. Moreover, whereas σ/σ and σ/π interactions are local, the π/π stacking are inherently delocalized, which give rise to a non‐additive effect. These new types of dispersion interactions between saturated groups can be exploited in the rational design of novel carbon materials. 相似文献

We have designed and utilized a simple molecular recognition system to study the substituent effects in aromatic interactions. Recently, we showed that 3‐ and 3,5‐disubstituted benzoyl leucine diethyl amides with aromatic rings of varying electronic character organized into homochiral dimers in the solid state through a parallel displaced π–π interaction and two hydrogen bonds, but no such homochiral dimerization was observed for the unsubstituted case. This phenomenon supports the hypothesis that substituents stabilize π–π interactions regardless of their electronic character. To further investigate the origin of substituent effects for π–π interactions, we synthesized and crystallized a series of 4‐substituted benzoyl leucine diethyl amides. Surprisingly, only two of the 4‐substituted compounds formed homochiral dimers. A comparison among the 4‐substituted compounds that crystallized as homochiral dimers and their 3‐substituted counterparts revealed that there are differences in regard to the geometry of the aromatic rings with respect to each other, which depend on the electronic nature and location of the substituent. The crystal structures of the homochiral dimers that showed evidence of direct, local interactions between the substituents on the aromatic rings also displayed nonequivalent dihedral angles in the individual monomers. The crystallographic data suggests that such “flexing” may be the result of the individual molecules orienting themselves to maximize the local dipole interactions on the respective aromatic rings. The results presented here can potentially have broad applicability towards the development of molecular recognition systems that involve aromatic interactions. 相似文献

Eight complexes of various aromatic molecules with water have been studied theoretically at the local Møller–Plesset 2nd order theory (LMP2)/aug‐cc‐pVTZ(‐f)//LMP2/6‐31+G* level of theory. Two types of complexes can be formed, depending on the electronic structure of aromatic molecules. Donor hydrocarbons form A‐type complexes, while aromatics bearing electron‐withdrawing substituents form B‐type complexes. A‐type complexes are stabilized due to π–H interactions with the OH bond pointing to the aromatic molecule plane, while B‐type complexes have geometry with the oxygen atom pointing to the aromatic molecule plane stabilized by the interaction of highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of water molecule with π* orbitals of the aromatics. It has been found that a (? HOMO–lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO)/2 value of aromatic molecule, which can be called “molecular electronegativity,” is useful to predict the type of complex formed by aromatic molecule and water. Aromatic hydrocarbons with “molecular electronegativity” of <0.15 tend to form A‐type complexes, while aromatic molecules with “molecular electronegativity” of <0.15 a.u. form B‐type complexes. The binding energy of water–aromatic complexes undergoes a minimum in the area of switching from A‐type to B type complexes, which can be rationalize in terms of frontier orbital interactions. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The peptide N‐benzyloxycarbonyl‐L‐valyl‐L‐tyrosine methyl ester or NCbz‐Val‐Tyr‐OMe (where NCbz is N‐benzyloxycarbonyl and OMe indicates the methyl ester), C23H28N2O6, has an extended backbone conformation. The aromatic rings of the Tyr residue and the NCbz group are involved in various attractive intra‐ and intermolecular aromatic π–π interactions which stabilize the conformation and packing in the crystal structure, in addition to N—H...O and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. The aromatic π–π interactions include parallel‐displaced, perpendicular T‐shaped, perpendicular L‐shaped and inclined orientations. 相似文献

The behavior of N,N′‐bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene)benzene‐1,4‐diamine (L) towards zinc(II), cadmium(II), and mercury(II) chlorides was studied in methanol solutions. In the presence of metal ions, the organic molecule was decomposed to N‐(pyridin‐2‐ylmethylene)benzene‐1,4‐diamine (L′), and complexes of general formula M(L′)Cl2 were isolated from the mixture. The complexes were identified by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR, and 13C NMR spectra, and their structures were further confirmed by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction analysis of Zn(L′)Cl2 and Hg(L′)Cl2. In the solid state of both complexes, the molecules are stabilized by N–H ··· Cl hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions. 相似文献

The possible noncovalent lone pair‐π/halogen bond (lp···π/HaB) complexes of perhalogenated unsaturated C2ClnF4?n (n = 0–4) molecules with four simple molecules containing oxygen or nitrogen as electron donor, formaldehyde (H2CO), dimethyl ether (DME), NH3, and trimethylamine (TMA), have been systematically examined at the M062X/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level. Natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis at the same level is used for understanding the electron density distributions of these complexes. The progressive introduction of Cl atom on C2ClnF4?n influences more on the lp···π complexes over the corresponding HaB ones. Within the scope of this study, gem‐C2Cl2F2 is the best partner molecule for lp···π interaction with the simple molecules, coupled with the greatest interaction energy (IE) and second‐order orbital interaction [E(2) value], whereas C2F4 is the poorest one. The C2Cl3F·H2CO and C2Cl4·H2CO complexes exhibit reverse lp···π bonding, while the Z/E‐C2Cl2F2·NH3, C2Cl3F·NH3 and C2Cl4·NH3 complexes perform half‐lp···π bonding according to the NBO analysis. The lp···π interaction involving the oxygen/nitrogen and the π‐hole of C2ClnF4?n overwhelms the HaB involving the oxygen/nitrogen and the σ‐hole of the Cl atom. The electron‐donating methyl groups contribute significantly to the two competitive interactions, therefore, DME and TMA engage stronger in the partner molecules than H2CO and NH3. Our theoretical study would be useful for future experimental investigation on noncovalent complexes. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

In this study, several lone pair–π and aerogen–π complexes between XeO3 and XeF4 and aromatic rings with different electronic natures (benzene, trifluorobenzene, and hexafluorobenzene) are optimized at the RI‐MP2/aug‐cc‐pVTZ level of theory. All complexes are characterized as true minima by frequency analysis calculations. The donor/acceptor role of the ring in the complexes is analyzed using the natural bond orbital computational tool, showing a remarkable contribution of orbital interactions to the global stabilization of the aerogen–π complexes. Finally, Bader's AIM analysis of several complexes is performed to further characterize the lone pair–π and aerogen–π interactions. 相似文献

The properties of complexes formed by phenol and K+, Na+, Li+ and Mg2+ in the presence of up to four water molecules have been studied by means of computational methods. The interaction becomes stronger as the size of the cation decreases, showing almost no preference between coordinating to the aromatic ring or to the hydroxyl oxygen. As water molecules are introduced, a variety of stable structures arise, where water molecules establish hydrogen bonds among themselves and with the hydroxyl group of phenol. For the most polarizing cations, the strong cation···water interaction gives most stable minima corresponding to arrangements with water molecules and phenol coordinated directly to the cation, with no significant hydrogen bonds among them. However, in Na+ complexes and especially in K+ ones, the interaction with the cation is weaker, so hydrogen bond formation starts to be competitive as more water molecules are included, the most stable minima corresponding to structures where not all water molecules or phenol are directly bound to the cation. This behavior is also reflected on the predicted vibrational spectra, which agree with those determined experimentally. Up to three water molecules, only for K+ and to a less extent Na+, stable minima are found showing red-shifted O–H stretching bands corresponding to water···water and water···phenol hydrogen bonds. With four water molecules, at least one water molecule is located in a second solvation shell, all cations exhibiting red-shifted bands. 相似文献

We report the synthesis and X‐ray characterization of the N6‐benzyl‐N6‐methyladenine ligand (L) and three metal complexes, namely [Zn(HL)Cl3]·H2O ( 1 ), [Cd(HL)2Cl4] ( 2 ) and [H2L]2[Cd3(μ‐L)2(μ‐Cl)4Cl6]·3H2O ( 3 ). Complex 1 consists of the 7H‐adenine tautomer protonated at N3 and coordinated to a tetrahedral Zn(II) metal centre through N9. The octahedral Cd(II) in complex 2 is N9‐coordinated to two N6‐benzyl‐N6‐methyladeninium ligands (7H‐tautomer protonated at N3) that occupy apical positions and four chlorido ligands form the basal plane. Compound 3 corresponds to a trinuclear Cd(II) complex, where the central Cd atom is six‐coordinated to two bridging μ‐L and four bridging μ‐Cl ligands. The other two Cd atoms are six‐coordinated to three terminal chlorido ligands, to two bridging μ‐Cl ligands and to the bridging μ‐L through N3. Essentially, the coordination patterns, degree of protonation and tautomeric forms of the nucleobase dominate the solid‐state architectures of 1 – 3 . Additionally, the hydrogen‐bonding interactions produced by the endocyclic N atoms and NH groups stabilize high‐dimensional‐order supramolecular assemblies. Moreover, energetically strong anion–π and lone pair (lp)–π interactions are important in constructing the final solid‐state architectures in 1 – 3 . We have studied the non‐covalent interactions energetically using density functional theory calculations and rationalized the interactions using molecular electrostatic potential surfaces and Bader's theory of atoms in molecules. We have particularly analysed cooperative lp–π and anion–π interactions in 1 and π+–π+ interactions in 3 . 相似文献

A theoretical analysis of linear and bifurcate halogen‐oxygen bonds is presented in this work. B3LYP/6‐311++G(d,p) and MP2/6‐311++G(d,p) calculations were used to determine the optimized geometries of intermolecular systems formed by CFCl3 and O3. Molecular properties often analyzed in hydrogen‐bonded complexes were used here to describe the interaction between chlorine (CFCl3) and oxygen (O3). The halogen‐oxygen bond in the CFCl3···O3 complex was characterized using the topological parameters derived from the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The synthesis and structural characterization of 2‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐1‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazole [C16H12N2O2, (I)], 2‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐1‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium chloride monohydrate [C16H13N2O2+·Cl−·H2O, (II)] and the hydrobromide salt 5,6‐dimethyl‐2‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐1‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl)‐1H‐benzimidazol‐3‐ium bromide [C18H17N2O2+·Br−, (III)] are described. Benzimidazole (I) displays two sets of aromatic interactions, each of which involves pairs of molecules in a head‐to‐tail arrangement. The first, denoted set (Ia), exhibits both intermolecular C—H...π interactions between the 2‐(furan‐2‐yl) (abbreviated as Fn) and 1‐(furan‐2‐ylmethyl) (abbreviated as MeFn) substituents, and π–π interactions involving the Fn substituents between inversion‐center‐related molecules. The second, denoted set (Ib), involves π–π interactions involving both the benzene ring (Bz) and the imidazole ring (Im) of benzimidazole. Hydrated salt (II) exhibits N—H...OH2...Cl hydrogen bonding that results in chains of molecules parallel to the a axis. There is also a head‐to‐head aromatic stacking of the protonated benzimidazole cations in which the Bz and Im rings of one molecule interact with the Im and Fn rings of adjacent molecules in the chain. Salt (III) displays N—H...Br hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions involving inversion‐center‐related benzimidazole rings in a head‐to‐tail arrangement. In all of the π–π interactions observed, the interacting moieties are shifted with respect to each other along the major molecular axis. Basis set superposition energy‐corrected (counterpoise method) interaction energies were calculated for each interaction [DFT, M06‐2X/6‐31+G(d)] employing atomic coordinates obtained in the crystallographic analyses for heavy atoms and optimized H‐atom coordinates. The calculated interaction energies are −43.0, −39.8, −48.5, and −55.0 kJ mol−1 for (Ia), (Ib), (II), and (III), respectively. For (Ia), the analysis was used to partition the interaction energies into the C—H...π and π–π components, which are 9.4 and 24.1 kJ mol−1, respectively. Energy‐minimized structures were used to determine the optimal interplanar spacing, the slip distance along the major molecular axis, and the slip distance along the minor molecular axis for 2‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐1H‐benzimidazole. 相似文献

The water/aromatic parallel alignment interactions are interactions where the water molecule or one of its O? H bonds is parallel to the aromatic ring plane. The calculated energies of the interactions are significant, up to ΔECCSD(T)(limit) = ?2.45 kcal mol?1 at large horizontal displacement, out of benzene ring and CH bond region. These interactions are stronger than CH···O water/benzene interactions, but weaker than OH···π interactions. To investigate the nature of water/aromatic parallel alignment interactions, energy decomposition methods, symmetry‐adapted perturbation theory, and extended transition state‐natural orbitals for chemical valence (NOCV), were used. The calculations have shown that, for the complexes at large horizontal displacements, major contribution to interaction energy comes from electrostatic interactions between monomers, and for the complexes at small horizontal displacements, dispersion interactions are dominant binding force. The NOCV‐based analysis has shown that in structures with strong interaction energies charge transfer of the type π → σ*(O? H) between the monomers also exists. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Non‐covalent interactions involving multicenter multielectron skeletons such as boron clusters are rare. Now, a non‐covalent interaction, the nido‐cage???π bond, is discovered based on the boron cluster C2B9H12? and an aromatic π system. The X‐ray diffraction studies indicate that the nido‐cage???π bonding presents parallel‐displaced or T‐shaped geometries. The contacting distance between cage and π ring varies with the type and the substituent of the aromatic ring. Theoretical calculations reveal that this nido‐cage???π bond shares a similar nature to the conventional anion???π or π???π bonds found in classical aromatic ring systems. This nido‐cage???π interaction induces variable photophysical properties such as aggregation‐induced emission and aggregation‐caused quenching in one molecule. This work offers an overall understanding towards the boron cluster‐based non‐covalent bond and opens a door to investigate its properties. 相似文献

Lanthanoid Peroxo Complexes with μ3‐η2:η2:η2‐(O22—) Coordination. Crystal Structures of [Ln4(O2)2Cl8(Py)10] · Py mit Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd The four‐nuclear peroxo complexes [Ln4(O2)2Cl8(Py)10]·py (py = pyridine) with Ln = Sm ( 1 ·py), Eu ( 2 ·py) und Gd ( 3 ·py) are formed as pale yellow ( 1 ·py) and colourless ( 2 ·py and 3 ·py) crystals by action of atmospheric oxygen on heated solutions of the anhydrous trichlorides LnCl3 in pyridine/ diacetone alcohol (4‐hydroxy‐4‐methyl‐2‐pentanone). According to the X‐ray structural analyses the three complexes crystallize isostructural in the triclinic space group PP1¯ with two formula units per unit cell. 1—3 form centrosymmetrical molecular structures, in which the four lanthanoid atoms in coplanar array are linked via the two peroxo groups in a hitherto unobserved μ3‐η2:η2:η2 coordination. Additionally, they are bonded by four �μchloro bridges. Two of the Ln atoms complete their coordination sphere by three pyridine molecules each, the other two by two chlorine atoms and two pyridine molecules. The gadolinium compound is additionally characterized by its complete vibrational spectrum (i.r. and Raman). 相似文献
