Post Functionalization

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.

Reactions between Zn(II) dihalides and 2-halogen-substituted pyridines 2-XPy result in a series of heteroleptic molecular complexes [(2-XPy)2ZnY2] (Y = Cl, X = Cl (1), Br (2), I (3); Y = Br, X = Cl (4), Br (5), I (6), Y = I, X = Cl (7), Br (8), and I (9)). Moreover, 1–7 are isostructural (triclinic), while 8 and 9 are monoclinic. In all cases, halogen bonding plays an important role in formation of crystal packing. Moreover, 1–9 demonstrate luminescence in asolid state; for the best emitting complexes, quantum yield (QY) exceeds 21%.

Primary Means

In the last few decades, supramolecular chemistry has been at the forefront of chemical research, with the aim of understanding chemistry beyond the covalent bond. Since the long-range periodicity in crystals is a product of the directionally specific short-range intermolecular interactions that are responsible for molecular assembly, analysis of crystalline solids provides a primary means to investigate intermolecular interactions and recognition phenomena. This article discusses some areas of contemporary research involving supramolecular interactions in the solid state. The topics covered are: (1) an overview and historical review of halogen bonding; (2) exploring non-ambient conditions to investigate intermolecular interactions in crystals; (3) the role of intermolecular interactions in morphotropy, being the link between isostructurality and polymorphism; (4) strategic realisation of kinetic coordination polymers by exploiting multi-interactive linker molecules. The discussion touches upon many of the prerequisites for controlled preparation and characterization of crystalline materials.

A total of 23 benzamides are obtained through a simple reaction between chloro-/bromo-/iodoaniline and trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride and characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structures of three series of benzamides based on N-chlorophenyl–trifluoromethyl–benzamide (nine compounds), N-bromophenyl–trifluoromethyl–benzamide (six compounds), and N-iodophenyl–trifluoromethyl–benzamide (eight compounds) are prepared to analyse the halogen-mediated noncovalent interactions. The influences of Cl/Br/I and trifluoromethyl substituents on the respective interactions are examined in the presence of a strong N—H...O hydrogen bond. This exercise has resulted in the documentation of frequently occurring supramolecular synthons involving halogen atoms in the crystal packing of benzamide molecules in the solid state. In the present study, a detailed quantitative evaluation has been performed on the nature, energetics, electrostatic contributions, and topological properties of short and directional intermolecular interactions derived from the electron density on halogenated benzamides in the solid state. Besides these, the occurrence of three-, two- and one-dimensional isostructurality in halogen (Cl or Br or I) substituted benzamide analogues is also investigated. A `region of co-existence' involving halogen-based intermolecular interactions in the vicinity of the sum of the van der Waals radii has been identified. Thus, the nature of the halogen (effective size), type of interaction and the packing characteristics via presence of additional interactions establish the subtle, yet important, role of cooperativity in intermolecular interactions in crystal packing.

The Stability

A functionalized benzimidazole, 1-(4-nitrobenzyl)-3-allyl-1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2(3H)-one, has been synthesized, and the crystal structure was determined and analyzed. This compound crystallizes in the monoclinic, space group P21/n (number 14)cwith cell parameters,a=7.12148(8) Å,b=16.12035(17) Å,c=13.04169(17) Å,β=93.3043(11),V=1494.71(3) Å3, andDcalc= 1.375 g/mm3. The solid state geometry is stabilized by intermolecularπ–πinteractions along with the van der Waals interactions which contribute to the stability of the crystal packing. Computational calculations have been used to properly understand the main intermolecular interactions present in the crystal.

Halogenated carboxylic acids have been important compounds in chemical synthesis and indispensable research tools in biochemical studies for decades. Nevertheless, the number of structurally characterized simple α-brominated monocarboxylic acids is still limited. We herein report the crystallization and structural elucidation of (R)- and rac-2-bromo-3-methylbutyric acid (2-bromo-3-methylbutanoic acid, 1) to shed light on intermolecular interactions, in particular hydrogen bonding motifs, packing modes and preferred conformations in the solid-state. The crystal structures of (R)- and rac-1 are revealed by X-ray crystallography. Both compounds crystallize in the triclinic crystal system with Z = 2; (R)-1 exhibits two crystallographically distinct molecules. In the crystal, (R)-1 forms homochiral O–H···O hydrogen-bonded carboxylic acid dimers with approximate non-crystallographic C2 symmetry. In contrast, rac-1 features centrosymmetric heterochiral dimers with the same carboxy syn···syn homosynthon. The crystal packing of centrosymmetric rac-1 is denser than that of its enantiopure counterpart (R)-1. The molecules in both crystal structures adopt a virtually identical staggered conformation, despite different crystal environments, which indicates a preferred molecular structure of 1. Intermolecular interactions apart from classical O–H···O hydrogen bonds do not appear to have a crucial bearing on the solid-state structures of (R)- and rac-1.
