Neutral mononuclear molecular silver(i) carboxylate complexes of the form [(Ph3P)2Ag(O2XY)] with O2XY=O2CCH2Ph, O2CCHPh2, O2CC(CH3)3, O2CCH2C(CH3)3, and O2CCF3 (compounds 1–4 and 5β) have been investigated in the solid state using single-crystal X-ray structure determinations, 1D 31P CPMAS NMR and 2D 31P–31P CPCOSY NMR measurements, and ab initio computational modelling. The results show that these complexes contain P2AgO2 molecular cores with four-coordinate silver in which the carboxylate ligands are weakly bound to the silver atoms via the two oxygen atoms giving rise to unsymmetrical chelate units. Crystal structure determinations and solid-state NMR spectra have also been analysed for the mononuclear molecular silver(i) nitrate complex [(Ph3P)2Ag(O2NO)] (9α) and two polymorphs of its toluene monosolvate (11α, β). In 9α, the two PPh3 ligands are of the same chirality, whereas in 11α, β, they are opposed. The crystalline environments in the polymorphs have been explored by way of Hirshfeld surface analyses, after quantum-mechanical isolated-molecule calculations had shown that although the molecular energies of the experimental geometries of 9α, and 11α, β are significantly different from each other and from the energies of the optimized geometries, the latter, in contrast, do not differ significantly from each other despite the conformational isomerism. It has further been shown using 9α as an example that the energy dependence on variation of the P–Ag–P angle over a range of ~15° is only ~5 kJ mol−1. All this indicates that the forces arising from crystal packing result in significant perturbations in the experimental geometries, but do not alter the stereoisomerism caused by the donor atom array around the Ag atom. In the NMR study, a strong inverse correlation has been found between 1J(107/109Ag,31P) and the Ag–P bond length across all carboxylate and nitrate compounds.

<p>The properties of an organic semiconductor are dependent on both the chemical structure of the molecule involved, and how it is arranged in the solid-state. It is challenging to extract the influence of each individual factor, as small changes in the molecular structure often dramatically change the crystal packing and hence solid-state structure. Here, we use calculations to explore the influence of the nitrogen position on the charge mobility of a chiral organic molecule when the crystal packing is kept constant. The transfer integrals for a series of enantiopure aza[6]helicene crystals sharing the same packing were analysed in order to identify the best supramolecular motifs to promote charge carrier mobility. The regioisomers considered differ only in the positioning of the nitrogen atom in the aromatic scaffold. The simulations showed that even this small change in the chemical structure has a strong effect on the charge transport in the crystal, leading to differences in charge mobility of up to one order of magnitude. Some aza[6]helicene isomers that were packed interlocked with each other showed high HOMO-HOMO integrals (up to 70 meV), whilst molecules arranged with translational symmetry generally afforded the highest LUMO-LUMO integrals (40 - 70 meV). As many of the results are not intuitively obvious, a computational approach provides additional insight into the design of new semiconducting organic materials.</p>

Non-symmetrical chiral 4,4′-bipyridines have recently found interest in organocatalysis and medicinal chemistry. In this regard, the development of efficient methods for their synthesis is highly desirable. Herein, a series of non-symmetrical atropisomeric polyhalogenated 4,4′-bipyridines were prepared and further functionalized by using cross-coupling reactions. The desymmetrization step is based on the N-oxidation of one of the two pyridine rings of the 4,4′-bipyridine skeleton. The main advantage of this methodology is the possible post-functionalization of the pyridine N-oxide, allowing selective introduction of chlorine, bromine or cyano groups in 2- and 2′-postions of the chiral atropisomeric 4,4′-bipyridines. The crystal packing in the solid state of some newly prepared derivatives was analyzed and revealed the importance of halogen bonds in intermolecular interactions.
