Comparison of N···I and N···O Halogen Bonds in Organoiodine Cocrystals of Heterocyclic Aromatic Diazine Mono- N-oxides. CRYSTAL GROWTH & DESIGN 2024; 24:2425-2438. [PMID: 38525103 PMCID: PMC10958445 DOI: 10.1021/acs.cgd.3c01344] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2023] [Revised: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/26/2024]
Abstract
A series of cocrystals of halogen bond donors 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (p-F4DIB) and tetraiodoethylene (TIE) with five aromatic heterocyclic diazine mono-N-oxides based on pyrazine, tetramethylpyrazine, quinoxaline, phenazine, and pyrimidine as halogen bonding acceptors were studied. Structural analysis of the mono-N-oxides allows comparison of the competitive occurrence of N···I vs O···I interactions and the relative strength and directionality of these two types of interactions. Of the aromatic heterocyclic diazine mono-N-oxide organoiodine cocrystals examined, six exhibited 1:1 stoichiometry, forming chains that utilized both N···I and O···I interactions. Two cocrystals presented 1:1 stoichiometry with exclusive O···I interactions. Two cocrystals displayed a 2:1 stoichiometry-one characterized solely by O···I interactions and the other solely by N···I interactions. We have also compared these interactions to those present in the corresponding diazines, some of which we report here and some which have been previously reported. In addition, a computational analysis using density functional theory (M062X/def2-SVPD) was performed on these two systems and has been compared to the experimental results. The calculated complex formation energies were, on average, 4.7 kJ/mol lower for the I···O halogen bonding interaction as compared to the corresponding N···I interaction. The average I···O interaction distances were calculated to be 0.15 Å shorter than the corresponding I···N interactions.

Enhancing Effects of the Cyano Group on the C-X∙∙∙N Hydrogen or Halogen Bond in Complexes of X-Cyanomethanes with Trimethyl Amine: CH3−n(CN)nX∙∙∙NMe3, (n = 0–3; X = H, Cl, Br, I). Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms231911289. [PMID: 36232589 PMCID: PMC9570363 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231911289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/23/2022] [Revised: 09/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/20/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022] Open
Abstract
In this paper, density functional theory and wave function theory calculations are carried out to investigate the strength and nature of the intermolecular C-X∙∙∙N bond interaction as a function of the number of cyano groups, CN, in the X-bond donor while maintaining the X-bond acceptor as fixed. Specifically, complexes of X-cyanomethanes with trimethyl amine CH3−n(CN)nX∙∙∙NMe3 (n = 0–3; X = H, Cl, Br, I) are used as model systems. Geometrical parameters and vibrational C-X-stretching frequencies as well as interaction energies are used as relevant indicators to gauge hydrogen or halogen bond strength in the complexes. Additional characteristics of interactions that link these complexes, i.e., hydrogen or halogen bonds, are calculated with the use of the following theoretical tools: the atoms in molecules (AIM) approach, the natural bond orbital (NBO) method, and energy decomposition analysis (EDA). The results show that, for the specified X-center, the strength of C-X∙∙∙N interaction increases significantly and in a non-additive fashion with the number of CN groups. Moreover, the nature (noncovalent or partly covalent) of the interactions is revealed via the AIM approach.

Abstract
The interplay between hydrogen bonds (HBs) and halogen bonds (XBs), has been addressed by co-crystallizing two halogen bond donors, 1,4-diiodotetrafluorbenzene(DITFB) and 1,3,5-trifluoro-2,4,6-triiodobenzene(TITFB) with four series of targets; N-(pyridin-2-yl)benzamide (Bz-X), N-(pyridin-2-yl)picolinamides (2Pyr-X), N-(pyridin-2-yl)nicotinamides (3Pyr-X), N-(pyridin-2-yl)isonicotinamides (4Pyr-X); X=H/Cl/Br/I. The structural outcomes were compared with interactions in the targets themselves. 13 co-crystals were analysed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). In all three co-crystals from the 2Pyr series, the intramolecular HB remained intact while the XB donors engaged with the N(pyr) or O=C sites. In the ten co-crystals from the other three series, the intermolecular HBs present in the individual targets were disrupted in 9/10 cases. Overall, the acceptor sites selected by the halogen-bond donors in these targets were distributed as follows; N(pyr)=81 %, O=C (15 %) or π (4 %).

Abstract
Bifurcated halogen bonds are constructed with FBr and FI as Lewis acids, paired with NH3 and NCH bases. The first type considered places two bases together with a single acid, while the reverse case of two acids sharing a single base constitutes the second type. These bifurcated systems are compared with the analogous H-bonds wherein FH serves as the acid. In most cases, a bifurcated system is energetically inferior to a single linear bond. There is a larger energetic cost to forcing the single σ-hole of an acid to interact with a pair of bases, than the other way around where two acids engage with the lone pair of a single base. In comparison to FBr and FI, the H-bonding FH acid is better able to participate in a bifurcated sharing with two bases. This behavior is traced to the properties of the monomers, in particular the specific shape of the molecular electrostatic potential, the anisotropy of the orbitals of the acid and base that interact directly with one another, and the angular extent of the total electron density of the two molecules.

Abstract
Chalcogen bonds are σ hole interactions and have been used in recent years as an alternative to hydrogen bonds. In general, the electrostatic potential at the chalcogen atom and orbital delocalization effects are made responsible for the orientation of the chalcogen bond. Here, we were able to show by means of SAPT calculations that neither the induction (orbital delocalization effects) nor the electrostatic term is causing the spatial orientation of strong chalcogen bonds in tellurium-containing aromatics. Instead, steric interactions (Pauli repulsion) are responsible for the orientation. Against chemical intuition the dispersion energies of the examined tellurium-containing aromatics are far less important for the net attractive forces compared to the energies in the corresponding sulfur and selenium compounds. Our results underline the importance of often overlooked steric interactions (Pauli repulsion) in conformational control of σ hole interactions.

Abstract
The fundamental underpinnings of noncovalent bonds are presented, focusing on the σ-hole interactions that are closely related to the H-bond. Different means of assessing their strength and the factors that control it are discussed. The establishment of a noncovalent bond is monitored as the two subunits are brought together, allowing the electrostatic, charge redistribution, and other effects to slowly take hold. Methods are discussed that permit prediction as to which site an approaching nucleophile will be drawn, and the maximum number of bonds around a central atom in its normal or hypervalent states is assessed. The manner in which a pair of anions can be held together despite an overall Coulombic repulsion is explained. The possibility that first-row atoms can participate in such bonds is discussed, along with the introduction of a tetrel analog of the dihydrogen bond.

Abstract
A central pnicogen Z atom (Z = Sb, As) is covalently attached to the O atom of three -O(CH2)nX chains where X represents either an aldehyde or amine group. The chain can fold around so that the basic X group can engage in a noncovalent pnicogen bond with the central Z. The formation of up to three pnicogen bonds is energetically favored. The amine appears to engage in stronger pnicogen bonds than does the aldehyde, and bonds to Sb are favored over As, but there is little dependence on the length of the chain. The formation of each successive pnicogen bond reduces the magnitude of the σ-holes surrounding the Z atom, which tends to weaken the attraction for the basic end of the chain.
