Abstract
We present herein a combined structural and computational analysis of the anion binding capabilities of perfluorinated polymercuramacrocycles. The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has been explored to find the coordination preference of these cyclic systems toward specific Lewis bases, both anionic and neutral. Interaction energies with different electron-rich species have been computed and further decomposed into chemically meaningful terms by means of energy decomposition analysis. Furthermore, we have investigated, by means of the natural resonance theory and natural bond orbital analyses how the orbitals involved in the interaction are key in determining the final geometry of the adduct. Finally, a generalization of the findings in terms of the molecular orbital theory has allowed us to understand the formation of the pseudo-octahedral second coordination sphere in linear Hg(II) complexes.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092885. [PMID: 35566234 PMCID: PMC9101229 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27092885] [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: 03/23/2022] [Revised: 04/28/2022] [Accepted: 04/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
The spodium–π bonding between MX2 (M = Zn, Cd, and Hg; X = Cl, Br, and I) acting as a Lewis acid, and C2H2/C2H4 acting as a Lewis base was studied by ab initio calculations. Two types of structures of cross (T) and parallel (P) forms are obtained. For the T form, the X–M–X axis adopts a cross configuration with the molecular axis of C≡C or C=C, but both of them are parallel in the P form. NCI, AIM, and electron density shifts analyses further, indicating that the spodium–π bonding exists in the binary complexes. Spodium–π bonding exhibits a partially covalent nature characterized with a negative energy density and large interaction energy. With the increase of electronegativity of the substituents on the Lewis acid or its decrease in the Lewis base, the interaction energies increase and vice versa. The spodium–π interaction is dominated by electrostatic interaction in most complexes, whereas dispersion and electrostatic energies are responsible for the stability of the MX2⋯C2F2 complexes. The spodium–π bonding further complements the concept of the spodium bond and provides a wider range of research on the adjustment of the strength of spodium bond.

The Role of Hydrogen Bonds in Interactions between [PdCl 4] 2- Dianions in Crystal. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27072144. [PMID: 35408543 PMCID: PMC9000617 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27072144] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2022] [Revised: 03/18/2022] [Accepted: 03/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
[PdCl4]2- dianions are oriented within a crystal in such a way that a Cl of one unit approaches the Pd of another from directly above. Quantum calculations find this interaction to be highly repulsive with a large positive interaction energy. The placement of neutral ligands in their vicinity reduces the repulsion, but the interaction remains highly endothermic. When the ligands acquire a unit positive charge, the electrostatic component and the full interaction energy become quite negative, signalling an exothermic association. Raising the charge on these counterions to +2 has little further stabilizing effect, and in fact reduces the electrostatic attraction. The ability of the counterions to promote the interaction is attributed in part to the H-bonds which they form with both dianions, acting as a sort of glue.

Abstract
![]()
Controlling the formation
of the desired product in the appropriate
crystalline form is the fundamental breakthrough of crystal engineering.
On that basis, the preferential formation between polymorphic forms,
which are referred to as different assemblies achieved by changing
the disposition or arrangement of the forming units within the crystalline
structure, is one of the most challenging topics still to be understood.
Herein, we have observed the formation of two concomitant polymorphs
with general formula {[Hg(Pip)2(4,4′-bipy)]·DMF}n (P1A, P1B; Pip = piperonylic acid;
4,4′-bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine). Besides, [Hg(Pip)2(4,4′-bipy)]n (2) has been achieved during the attempts to isolate these polymorphs.
The selective synthesis of P1A and P1B has
been successfully achieved by changing the synthetic conditions. The
formation of each polymorphic form has been ensured by unit cell measurements
and decomposition temperature. The elucidation of their crystal structure
revealed P1A and P1B as polymorphs, which
originates from the Hg(II) cores and intermolecular associations,
especially pinpointed by Hg···π and π···π
interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations suggest
that P1B, which shows Hg(II) geometries that are further
from ideality, is more stable than P1A by 13 kJ·mol–1 per [Hg(Pip)2(4,4′-bipy)]·DMF
formula unit, and this larger stability of P1B arises
mainly from metal···π and π···π
interactions between chains. As a result, these structural modifications
lead to significant variations of their solid-state photoluminescence. We have successfully isolated two concomitant
polymorphs
with formula {[Hg(Pip)2(4,4′-bipy)]·DMF}n (P1A and P1B), as
well as their desolvated form 2. Then, both polymorphs
were selectively synthesized by temperature or anion-template formation.
Their crystal structures revealed distorted pentagonal pyramidal geometries
and show that differences arise from geometry and packing that led
to different solid-state photoluminescence emissions. According to
periodic-DFT calculations, distortions in P1B are counterbalanced
leading to a more stable form by Hg(II)···π and
π···π interactions.

Abstract
In this manuscript, three examples retrieved from the PDB are selected to demonstrate the existence and relevance of spodium bonding (SpB) in biological systems. SpB is defined as an attractive noncovalent interaction between elements of group 12 of the periodic table acting as a Lewis acid and any atom or group of atoms acting as an electron donor. The utilization of this term (SpB) is convenient to differentiate classical coordination bonds from noncovalent interactions. In the latter, the distance between the electron rich and the spodium atoms is longer than the sum of the covalent radii but shorter than the sum of the van der Waals radii. In most Zn-dependent metalloenzymes, the spodium atom is bonded to three imidazole moieties belonging to the side chains of histidine amino-acids. Herein, in addition to the investigation of the SpB in the active site of three exemplifying enzymes, theoretical models where the Zn(ii) atom is bonded either to three imidazole or triazole ligands are used in order to investigate the strength of the SpB and its competition with hydrogen bonding. A series of Lewis bases and anions have been used as SpB acceptors combined with six SpB donors (receptors) of general formula [ZnY3X]+ (Y = imidazole and triazole and X = Cl, N3 and SCH3). In addition to the investigation of the energetic and geometric features of the complexes, the SpB interactions have been further characterized using the natural bond orbital (NBO) method, quantum theory of "atoms-in-molecules" and the noncovalent interaction plot (NCI plot).
