Bulk chemical shifts in hydrogen-bonded systems from first-principles calculations and solid-state-NMR

We present an analysis of bulk (1)H NMR chemical shifts for a series of biochemically relevant molecular crystals in analogy to the well-known solvent NMR chemical shifts. The term bulk shifts denotes the change in NMR frequency of a gas-phase molecule when it undergoes crystallization. We compute NMR parameters from first-principles electronic structure calculations under full periodic boundary conditions and for isolated molecules and compare them to the corresponding experimental fast magic-angle spinning solid-state NMR spectra. The agreement between computed and experimental lines is generally very good. The main phenomena responsible for bulk shifts are packing effects (hydrogen bonding and pi-stacking) in the condensed phase. By using these NMR bulk shifts in well-ordered crystalline model systems composed of biologically relevant molecules, we can understand the individual spectroscopic signatures of packing effects. These local structural driving forces, hydrogen bonding, pi-stacking, and related phenomena, stand as a model for the forces that govern the assembly of much more complex supramolecular aggregates. We show to which accuracy condensed-phase ab initio calculations can predict structure and structure-property relationships for noncovalent interactions in complex supramolecular systems.     

Accurate lattice energies of organic molecular crystals from periodic turbomole calculations

Accurate lattice energies of organic crystals are important i.e. for the pharmaceutical industry. Periodic DFT calculations with atom‐centered Gaussian basis functions with the Turbomole program are used to calculate lattice energies for several non‐covalently bound organic molecular crystals. The accuracy and convergence of results with basis set size and k‐space sampling from periodic calculations is evaluated for the two reference molecules benzoic acid and naphthalene. For the X23 benchmark set of small molecular crystals accurate lattice energies are obtained using the PBE‐D3 functional. In particular for hydrogen‐bonded systems, a sufficiently large basis set is required. The calculated lattice energy differences between enantiopure and racemic crystal forms for a prototype set of chiral molecules are in good agreement with experimental results and allow the rationalization and computer‐aided design of chiral separation processes. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

A partial proton transfer in hydrogen bond O-H···O in crystals of anhydrous potassium and rubidium complex chloranilates

Hydrogen bonding and proton transfer in the solid state are studied on the crystals of isostructural anhydrous potassium and rubidium complex chloranilates by variable-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction, solid state (1)H NMR and IR spectroscopies, and periodic DFT calculations of equilibrium geometries, proton potentials, and NMR chemical shifts. Their crystal structures reveal neutral molecules of chloranilic acid and its dianions connected into a chain by O-H···O hydrogen bond. A strong hydrogen bond with a large-amplitude movement of the proton with NMR shift of 13-17 ppm and a broad continuum in IR spectra between 1000 and 500 cm(-1) were observed. Periodic DFT calculations suggest that proton transfer is energetically more favorable if it occurs within a single pair of chloranilate dianion and chloranilic acid molecule but not continuously along the chains of long periodicity. The calculated chemical shifts confirm the assumption that the weak resonance signals observed at lower magnetic fields pertain to the case when the proton migrates to the acceptor side of the hydrogen bond. The detected situation can be described by a partial proton transfer.     

Theoretical investigations of candidate crystal structures for β-carbonic acid

Using multiple computational tools, we examine five candidate crystal structures for β-carbonic acid, a molecular crystal of environmental and astrophysical significance. These crystals comprise of hydrogen bonded molecules in either sheetlike or chainlike topologies. Gas phase quantum calculations, empirical force field based crystal structure search, and periodic density functional theory based calculations and finite temperature simulations of these crystals have been carried out. The infrared spectrum calculated from density functional theory based molecular dynamics simulations compares well with experimental data. Results suggest crystals with one-dimensional hydrogen bonding topologies (chainlike) to be more stable than those with two-dimensional (sheetlike) hydrogen bonding networks. We predict that these structures can be distinguished on the basis of their far infrared spectra.     

(13)C shielding tensors of crystalline amino acids and peptides: Theoretical predictions based on periodic structure models

Precise theoretical predictions of NMR parameters are helpful for the spectroscopic identification of complicated biological molecules, especially for the carbon shielding tensors in amino acids. The (13)C shielding tensors of various crystalline amino acids and peptides have been calculated using the gauge-including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) method based on two different periodic structure models, namely that deduced from available crystallographic data and that from theoretically optimized structures. The incorporation of surrounding lattice effects is found to be crucial in obtaining reliable predictions of (13)C shielding tensors that are comparable to the experimental data. This is accomplished by refining the experimental crystallographic data of the amino acids and peptides at the GGA/PBE level by which more accurate intramolecular C--H bond lengths and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are obtained. Accordingly, more accurate predictions of (13)C shielding tensors comparable to the experimental results (within a maximum deviation of +/-10 ppm) were achieved, rendering more explicit (13)C shielding tensors assignments for solid biological systems particularly for amino acids with multiple carboxyl carbons, such as asparagine, glutamine, and glutamic acid.

Ab initio investigation of the complexes between bromobenzene and several electron donors: some insights into the magnitude and nature of halogen bonding interactions

Halogen bonding, a specific intermolecular noncovalent interaction, plays crucial roles in fields as diverse as molecular recognition, crystal engineering, and biological systems. This paper presents an ab initio investigation of a series of dimeric complexes formed between bromobenzene and several electron donors. Such small model systems are selected to mimic halogen bonding interactions found within crystal structures as well as within biological molecules. In all cases, the intermolecular distances are shown to be equal to or below sums of van der Waals radii of the atoms involved. Halogen bonding energies, calculated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level, span over a wide range, from -1.52 to -15.53 kcal/mol. The interactions become comparable to, or even prevail over, classical hydrogen bonding. For charge-assisted halogen bonds, calculations have shown that the strength decreases in the order OH- > F- > HCO2- > Cl- > Br-, while for neutral systems, their relative strengths attenuate in the order H2CS > H2CO > NH3 > H2S > H2O. These results agree with those of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) since bond critical points (BCPs) are identified for these halogen bonds. The QTAIM analysis also suggests that strong halogen bonds are more covalent in nature, while weak ones are mostly electrostatic interactions. The electron densities at the BCPs are recommended as a good measure of the halogen bond strength. Finally, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis has been applied to gain more insights into the origin of halogen bonding interactions.
