A search in the Cambridge Structural Database and theoretical calculations (UPBE0-D3/def2-TZVP level of theory) show the existence and relevance of substituent effects on the strength of radical⋯radical chalcogen bonding interactions.

The properties of C–Br⋯Br–C interactions have been determined by doing MP2 theoretical calculations on model dimers and on dimers taken from the Cambridge Structural Database (presenting Br⋯Br distances within the 3.0 to 4.5 Å range).

Model DFT computations and a thorough evaluation of the Cambridge structural database (CSD) and the protein data bank (PDB) were conducted to assess the occurrence and significance of intermolecular π-hole interactions with various nitro compounds relevant to medicine. DFT calculations indicate interaction energies between –3.9 to –6.5 kcal·mol–1, which is in the order of typical hydrogen- and halogen­-bonding interactions. Ample structural evidence for the occurrence of nitro π-hole interactions was found within the CSD and the PDB.

We illustrate, combining experimental and theoretical results, that the five-membered chelate ring is able to adapt itself to a great variety of metal ions.

Title compound is triclinic, Mr = 461.60; P1, a = 9.158(1), b = 16.062(3), c = 19.472(3) Å, α = 110.69(1)°, β = 89.70(1)°, γ = 103.17(1)°, V = 2 600(1) Å3, Z = 4, Do = 1.15(3), Dc = 1.179(1) Mg m-3, λ(CuKα) = 1.5418 Å, μ = 0.509 mm-1, F(000) = 976 K, R = 0.040 for 8 059 unique observed reflections. Both symmetrically independent molecules show a different geometry of the 1,4-dihydropyridine ring: either the boat conformation with apexes C(sp3), N and boat angles 14.7(3)° and 10.3(2)° respectively, or the planar conformation. The conformation has been compared with similar dihydropyridines obtained from Cambridge Structural Database.

1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles possess enriched structures and versatile chemistry, representing a challenge for chemists. In the present work, we unravel the fragmentation patterns of a chemically diverse range of 5-allyloxy-1-aryl-tetrazoles and 4-allyl-1-aryl-tetrazolole-5-ones when subjected to electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS) and investigate the correlation with the UV-induced fragmentation channels of the matrix-isolated tetrazole derivatives. Our results indicate that the fragmentation pathways of the selected tetrazoles in EI-MS are highly influenced by the electronic effects induced by substitution. Multiple pathways can be envisaged to explain the mechanisms of fragmentation, frequently awarding common final species, namely arylisocyanate, arylazide, arylnitrene, isocyanic acid and hydrogen azide radical cations, as well as allyl/aryl cations. The identified fragments are consistent with those found in previous investigations concerning the photochemical stability of the same class of molecules. This parallelism showcases a similarity in the behaviour of tetrazoles under EI-MS and UV-irradiation in the inert environment of cryogenic matrices of noble gases, providing efficient tools for reactivity predictions, whether for analytical ends or more in-depth studies. Theoretical calculations provide complementary information to articulate predictions of resulting products.

Applications of the data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to knowledge acquisition and fundamental research in molecular inorganic chemistry are reviewed. Various classes of application are identified, including the derivation of typical molecular dimensions and their variability and transferability, the derivation and testing of theories of molecular structure and bonding, the identification of reaction paths and related conformational analyses based on the structure correlation hypothesis, and the identification of common and presumably energetically favourable intermolecular interactions. In many of these areas, the availability of plentiful structural data from the CSD is set against the emergence of high-quality computational data on the geometry and energy of inorganic complexes.
