Verma P, Srivastava A, Tandon P, Shimpi MR. Insights into structural, spectroscopic, and hydrogen bonding interaction patterns of nicotinamide-oxalic acid (form I) salt by using experimental and theoretical approaches. Front Chem 2023; 11:1203278. [PMID: 37476653 PMCID: PMC10354448 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1203278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2023] [Accepted: 06/20/2023] [Indexed: 07/22/2023] Open
Abstract
In the present work, nicotinamide-oxalic acid (NIC-OXA, form I) salt was crystallized by slow evaporation of an aqueous solution. To understand the molecular structure and spectroscopic properties of NIC after co-crystallization with OXA, experimental infrared (IR), Raman spectroscopic signatures, X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques were used to characterize and validate the salt. The density functional theory (DFT) methodology was adopted to perform all theoretical calculations by using the B3LYP/6-311++G (d, p) functional/basis set. The experimental geometrical parameters were matched in good correlation with the theoretical parameters of the dimer than the monomer, due to the fact of covering the nearest hydrogen bonding interactions present in the crystal structure of the salt. The IR and Raman spectra of the dimer showed the red (downward) shifting and broadening of bands among (N15-H16), (N38-H39), and (C13=O14) bonds of NIC and (C26=O24), (C3=O1), and (C26=O25) groups of OXA, hence involved in the formation of NIC-OXA salt. The atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis revealed that (N8-H9···O24) is the strongest (conventional) intermolecular hydrogen bonding interaction in the dimer model of salt with the maximum value of interaction energy -12.1 kcal mol-1. Furthermore, the natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis of the Fock matrix showed that in the dimer model, the (N8-H9···O24) bond is responsible for the stabilization of the salt with an energy value of 13.44 kcal mol-1. The frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs) analysis showed that NIC-OXA (form I) salt is more reactive and less stable than NIC, as the energy gap of NIC-OXA (form I) salt is less than that of NIC. The global and local reactivity descriptor parameters were calculated for the monomer and dimer models of the salt. The electrophilic, nucleophilic, and neutral reactive sites of NIC, OXA, monomer, and dimer models of salt were visualized by plotting the molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) surface. The study provides valuable insights into combining both experimental and theoretical results that could define the physicochemical properties of molecules.

The Ultrashort Spike-Ring Interaction in Substituted Iron Maiden Molecules. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28052244. [PMID: 36903489 PMCID: PMC10004599 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28052244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2023] [Revised: 02/23/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/06/2023] Open
Abstract
The in forms of molecular iron maidens are known for their unique ultrashort interaction between the apical hydrogen atom or its small substituent and the surface of the benzene ring. It is generally believed that this forced ultrashort X⋯π contact is associated with high steric hindrance, which is responsible for specific properties of iron maiden molecules. The main aim of this article is to investigate the influence of significant charge enrichment or depletion of the benzene ring on the characteristics of the ultrashort C-X⋯π contact in iron maiden molecules. For this purpose, three strongly electron-donating (-NH2) or strongly electron-withdrawing (-CN) groups were inserted into the benzene ring of in-[34,10][7]metacyclophane and its halogenated (X = F, Cl, Br) derivatives. It is shown that, despite such extremely electron-donating or electron-accepting properties, the considered iron maiden molecules surprisingly reveal quite high resistance to changes in electronic properties.

Abstract
The so-called 'iron maiden' molecules belong to one of the most interesting subgroups of cyclophanes due to the presence of the ultrashort interaction between the CX apical bond and the benzene ring. This article presents an in-depth theoretical study of 16 'iron maiden' molecules, in which X = H, F, Cl or Br and the side chains are of various lengths and types: CSC, CSCC, CCC, and CCCC. It is shown that the H → F → Cl → Br substitution leads to a significant expansion of the 'iron maiden' molecule. Shorter chains lead to more pronounced effects, while insertion of sulfur atoms into the side chains lowers them. Structural changes are associated with an increase in energetic destabilization of X. Moreover, unlike for H, in the case of X = halogen, the out → in isomerization is energetically disadvantageous. The 'iron maiden' molecules are characterized by the presence of only three X⋯CAr bond paths. Particularly noteworthy are unusually large (even up to 32) values of the X⋯CAr bond ellipticity, which results from flat electron density distribution. The X⋯π interaction in each of the investigated 'iron maiden' molecule turned out to be multi-center, stabilizing and almost purely covalent in nature as indicated by the definitely dominant percentage (94.8%-101.6%) of the exchange-correlation energy. The spatial hindrance within the 'iron maiden' molecules appears to be not so much due to the X⋯π repulsion, but due to unfavorable steric interactions between X and the CC side bonds. It is also confirmed that some CH⋯HC interactions in aliphatic chains can be very weakly stabilizing.

Abstract
![]()
The antioxidative
nature of chemicals is now routinely studied
using computational quantum chemistry. Scientists are constantly proposing
new approaches to investigate those methods, and the subject is evolving
at a rapid pace. The goal of this review is to collect, consolidate,
and present current trends in a clear, methodical, and reference-rich
manner. This paper is divided into several sections, each of which
corresponds to a different stage of elaborations: preliminary concerns,
electronic structure analysis, and general reactivity (thermochemistry
and kinetics). The sections are further subdivided based on methodologies
used. Concluding remarks and future perspectives are presented based
on the remaining elements.

Abstract
This article discusses the properties of as many as 30 carbene–ZnX2 (X = H, Me, Et) complexes featuring a zinc bond C⋯Zn. The group of carbenes is represented by imidazol-2-ylidene and its nine derivatives (labeled as IR), in which both hydrogen atoms of N-H bonds have been substituted by R groups with various spatial hindrances, from the smallest Me, iPr, tBu through Ph, Tol, and Xyl to the bulkiest Mes, Dipp, and Ad. The main goal is to study the relationship between type and size of R and X and both the strength of C⋯Zn and the torsional angle of the ZnX2 plane with respect to the plane of the imidazol-2-ylidene ring. Despite the considerable diversity of R and X, the range of dC⋯Zn is quite narrow: 2.12–2.20 Å. On the contrary, D0 is characterized by a fairly wide range of 18.5–27.4 kcal/mol. For the smallest carbenes, the ZnX2 molecule is either in the plane of the carbene or is only slightly twisted with respect to it. The twist angle becomes larger and more varied with the bulkier R. However, the value of this angle is not easy to predict because it results not only from the presence of steric effects but also from the possible presence of various interatomic interactions, such as dihydrogen bonds, tetrel bonds, agostic bonds, and hydrogen bonds. It has been shown that at least some of these interactions may have a non-negligible influence on the structure of the IR–ZnX2 complex. This fact should be taken into account in addition to the commonly discussed R⋯X steric repulsion.

Abstract
An analysis of the effects induced by F, Cl, and Br-substituents at the α-position of both, the hydroxyl or the amino group for a series of amino-alcohols, HOCH2(CH2)nCH2NH2 (n = 0-5) on the strength and characteristics of their OH···N or NH···O intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IMHBs) was carried out through the use of high-level G4 ab initio calculations. For the parent unsubstituted amino-alcohols, it is found that the strength of the OH···N IMHB goes through a maximum for n = 2, as revealed by the use of appropriate isodesmic reactions, natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis and atoms in molecules (AIM), and non-covalent interaction (NCI) procedures. The corresponding infrared (IR) spectra also reflect the same trends. When the α-position to the hydroxyl group is substituted by halogen atoms, the OH···N IMHB significantly reinforces following the trend H < F < Cl < Br. Conversely, when the substitution takes place at the α-position with respect to the amino group, the result is a weakening of the OH···N IMHB. A totally different scenario is found when the amino-alcohols HOCH2(CH2)nCH2NH2 (n = 0-3) interact with BeF2. Although the presence of the beryllium derivative dramatically increases the strength of the IMHBs, the possibility for the beryllium atom to interact simultaneously with the O and the N atoms of the amino-alcohol leads to the global minimum of the potential energy surface, with the result that the IMHBs are replaced by two beryllium bonds.

Abstract
Matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy combined with quantum-chemical calculations were employed to study the reactions of calcium atoms with silane, germane, and stannane in a 4 K argon matrix. The ion pairs [HCa]+ and [EH3]- (E = Si, Ge, and Sn) in both the classical structure HCaEH3 and the bridged structure HCa(μ-H)3E were identified based on the H/D isotopic substitution experiments and quantum-chemical calculations. The results show that the reaction between ground-state Ca and EH4 proceeds inefficiently, and only after the photolytic activation of Ca atoms to the Ca(1P:4s4p) state does insertion occur to give HCaEH3, which rearranges to HCa(μ-H)3E upon photolysis. Topological analysis of the electronic structure suggests that the nonclassical structure HCa(μ-H)3E is formed by the electrostatic interaction with charge-inverted hydrogen bridge bond, while HCaEH3 is dominated by (HCa)+(EH3)- ion pair interactions.

Abstract
The conception of this theoretical research was idealized aiming to unveil the intermolecular structures of complexes formed by acetylene or ethylene and hydrofluoric acid. At light of computational calculations by using the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method, the geometries of the C2H2⋯(HF), C2H2⋯2(HF), C2H2⋯4(HF), C2H4⋯(HF), C2H4⋯2(HF) and C2H4⋯4(HF) hydrogen-bonded complexes were fully optimized. Moreover, the Post-Hartree-Fock calculations MP2/6-311++G(d,p), MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ, MP4(SDQ)/6-311++G(d,p) and CCSD/6-311++G(d,p) also were also used. The infrared spectra were analyzed in order to identify the new vibrational modes and frequencies of the proton donors shifted to red region. Through the modeling of charge-fluxes on the basis of the Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM) and, by contradicting the expectation of the hydrofluorination mechanisms of acetylene or ethylene, C⋯HF was recognized as a new type of hydrogen bond instead of the already well known π⋯H. The calculations of the Natural Bonding Orbital (NBO) and Charges derived from the Electrostatic Potential Grid-based (ChElPG) were also applied to interpret the shifting frequencies as well as measuring of the punctual charge-transfer after the formation of the complexes. Finally, the determination of the stabilization energy was carried out through the arguments of the Fock matrix in NBO basis and through the supermolecule approach. Also it is worthwhile to notice that some algebraic formulations were used for determining the electronic cooperative effect (CE).

Abstract
In this article, we present the results of our comprehensive studies of 72 dimers of the R3XXH⋯YR3Y type (X = Si, Ge; Y = B, Al, Ga; RX = H, Cl, Me; RY = H, F, Cl, Me) and featuring hydride-triel bonds (i.e., charge-inverted hydrogen bonds). Influence of X and Y atoms as well as RX and RY substituents on various properties of these dimers is investigated in detail. In particular the strength of the H⋯Y hydride-triel bonds is paid a close attention and it is shown that hydride-triel bonds can be strong enough to considerably determine structure and properties of molecular systems. In addition, properties of the investigated dimers are largely governed by the charge transfer from the Lewis base to the Lewis acid, which is particularly important if more bulky and polarizable RY and Y atoms are present in the YR3Y molecule. Several excellent linear (R2 close to 1) and exponential correlations between pairs of diverse parameters are presented. Few instances are discussed where somewhat unexpected bond paths exist between two atoms featuring partial negative charges (e.g., between hydride hydrogen and halogen and between lateral sides of two halogens) showing that in some cases a bond path prefers to link two closely spaced electron-rich atoms instead of two atoms that are expected to form a bond. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
We report in this work a combined structural and state-of-the-art computational study of homopolar P-HH-P intermolecular contacts. Database surveys have shown the abundance of such surprisingly unexplored contacts, which are usually accompanied by other weak interactions in the solid state. By means of a detailed theoretical study utilizing SAPT(DFT), MP2, SCS-MP2, MP2C and CCSD(T) methods and both aug-cc-pVXZ and aug-cc-pCVXZ (X = D, T, Q, 5) basis sets as well as extrapolation to the CBS limit, we have shown that P-HH-P contacts are indeed attractive and considerably strong. SAPT(DFT) calculations have revealed the dispersive nature of the P-HH-P interaction with only minor contribution of the inductive term, whereas the first-order electrostatic term is clearly overbalanced by the first-order exchange energy. In general the computed interaction energies follow the trend: E ≈ E < E < E. Our results have also shown that the aug-cc-pVDZ (or aug-cc-pCVDZ) basis set is not yet well balanced and that the second-order dispersion energy term is the slowest converging among all SAPT(DFT) energy components. Compared to aug-cc-pVXZ basis sets, their core-correlation counterparts have a modest influence on all supermolecular interaction energies and a negligible influence on both the SAPT(DFT) interaction energy and its components.

Abstract
The physical nature of charge-inverted hydrogen bonds in H3 XH ⋯YH3 (X = Si, Ge; Y = Al, Ga) dimer systems is studied by means of the SAPT(DFT)-based decomposition of interaction energies and supermolecular interaction energies based on MP2, SCS-MP2, MP2C, and CCSD(T) methods utilizing dimer-centered aug-cc-pCVnZ (n = D, T, Q) basis sets as well as an extrapolation to the complete basis set limit. It is revealed that charge-inverted hydrogen bonds are inductive in nature, although dispersion is also important. Computed interaction energies form the following relation: EintSAPT<EintSCS-MP2≤EintMP2C<EintMP2≈EintCCSD(T). It is confirmed that the aug-cc-pCVDZ basis set performs poorly and that very accurate values of interaction and dispersion energies require basis sets of at least quadrupole-ζ quality. Considerably large binding energies suggest potential usefulness of charge-inverted hydrogen bonds as an important structural motif in molecular binding. Terminology applying to σ- and π-hole interactions as well as to triel and tetrel bonds is discussed. According to this new terminology the charge-inverted hydrogen bond would become the first described case of a hydride-triel bond. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Computations show that a possible aromatic ring agostic intermediate seen by NMR spectroscopy in a cyclometallation reaction by palladium(ii) can involve CCπ electron density close to the agostic carbon being donated to the metal.

Characterization of B-H agostic compounds involved in the dehydrogenation of amine-boranes by group 4 metallocenes. J Mol Model 2016; 22:294.

Abstract
For over a decade, amine-borane has been considered as a potential chemical hydrogen vector in the context of a search for cleaner energy sources. When catalyzed by organometallic complexes, the reaction mechanisms currently considered involve the formation of β-BH agostic intermediates. A thorough understanding of these intermediates may constitute a crucial step toward the identification of ideal catalysts. Topological approaches such as QTAIM and ELF revealed to be particularly suitable for the description of β-agostic interactions. When studying model catalysts, accurate theoretical calculations may be carried out. However, for a comparison with experimental data, calculations should also be carried out on large organo-metallic species, often including transition metals belonging to the second or the third row. In such a case, DFT methods are particularly attractive. Unfortunately, triple-ζ all electrons basis sets are not easily available for heavy transition metal elements. Thus, a subtle balance should be reached between the affordable level of calculations and the required accuracy of the electronic description of the systems. Herein we propose the use of B3LYP functional in combination with the LanL2DZ pseudopotential for the metal atom and 6-311++G(2d,2p) basis set for the other atoms, followed by a single point using the DKH2 relativistic Hamiltonian in combination with the B3LYP/DZP-DKH level, as a "minimum level of theory" leading to a consistent topological description of the interaction within the ELF and QTAIM framework, in the context of isolated (gas-phase) group 4 metallocene catalysts.
