Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives are very well known as electron donors with widespread use in the field of organic conductors and superconductors. Stacking interactions between two neutral TTF fragments were studied by analysing data from Cambridge Structural Database crystal structures and by quantum chemical calculations. Analysis of the contacts found in crystal structures shows high occurrence of parallel displaced orientations of TTF molecules. In the majority of the contacts, two TTF molecules are displaced along their longer C 2 axis. The most frequent geometry has the strongest TTF–TTF stacking interaction, with CCSD(T)/CBS energy of −9.96 kcal mol−1. All the other frequent geometries in crystal structures are similar to geometries of the minima on the calculated potential energy surface.

Influence Of Substituents

Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part of a fragment that corresponds to the side chains of cysteine (Cys), methionine (Met) selenocysteine (Sec) and selenomethionine (Mse). The most numerous are structures with C—H...Se and C—H...S interactions (∼80%), notably less numerous are structures with Se...Se and S...S interactions (∼5%), and Se...π and S...π interactions are the least numerous. The results of quantum-chemical calculations have indicated that C—H...Se (∼−0.8 kcal mol−1) and C—H...S interactions are weaker than the most stable parallel interaction (∼−3.3 kcal mol−1) and electrostatic interactions of σ/π type (∼−2.6 kcal mol−1). Their significant presence can be explained by the abundance of CH groups compared with the numbers of Se and S atoms in the crystal structures, and also by the influence of substituents bonded to the Se or S atom that further reduce their possibilities for interacting with species from the environment. This can also offer an explanation as to why O—H...Se (∼−4.4 kcal mol−1) and N—H...Se interactions (∼−2.2 kcal mol−1) are less numerous. Docking studies revealed that S and Se rarely participate in interactions with the amino acid residues of target enzymes, mostly because those residues preferentially interact with the substituents bonded to Se and S. The differences between Se and S ligands in the number and positions of their binding sites are more pronounced if the substituents are polar and if there are more Se/S atoms in the ligand.

Isomeric Structures

The results of quantum chemical calculations on lithium ketazides suggest mainly four isomeric structures with different modes of lithium coordination (A-D). A monolithium ketazide thf-adduct (1) was isolated supporting the results of the quantum chemical calculations. In reactions of the lithiated di(tert-butyl-methyl)ketazine with BCl3 and Cl2BPh, 1,2-aza-azonia-3-borata-cyclopent-5-enes (2, 3) were isolated. Substitution of a chlorine atom of 2 and 3 with t-BuLi leads to the formation of derivatives 4 and 5. HCl elimination from 2 with Et3N gives - via a diazaboracyclopentene (6) - a bicyclus 7. In the reaction of the dilithiated ketazine with F2BN(SiMe3)2, the diaza-boracyclopentene 8 is obtained while with Cl4Si, F3SiN(SiMe3)2, and Cl2SiMe2 the diazasilacyclopentenes 9 - 11 are generated. SiF4 reacts with the dilithium ketazide to give a spirocyclus (12). The monolithium ketazide and Cl2SiMe2 react at 30 °C to give a four-membered ring isomer of the substitution product which is formed via a 1,3-chlorine shift from silicon to carbon (13). A tetrameric silanolate was isolated as a by-product in this reaction. It gives evidence for the structure of lithium ketazide A. Crystal structures of 5, 7, 10, and 14 are reported.
