The title macrocyclic amino alcohol compound, C14H30N4O, is investigated as a solid-state synthon for the design of a self-assembled tubular structure. It crystallizes in a helical column constructed by stereospecific O—H...N and N—H...N interactions. The hydrogen-bonding interactions, dependent upon macrocyclic ring helicity and molecular conformation, linkR,RandS,Senantiomers in a head-to-tail fashion, forming a continuous hydrophilic inner core.

In the title compound, [HgCl2(C16H28N2Se)], the primary geometry around the Se and Hg atoms is distorted trigonal–pyramidal and distorted square-pyramidal, respectively. The distortion of the molecular geometry in the complex is caused by the steric demands of the ligands attached to the Se atom. The Hg atom is coordinated through two chloride anions, an N atom and an Se atom, making up an unusual HgNSeCl2 coordination sphere with an additional long Hg...N interaction. Intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions are the only identified intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions that seem to be responsible for the self assembly. These relatively weak C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds possess the required linearity and donor–acceptor distances. They act as molecular associative forces that result in a supramolecular assembly along the b-axis direction in the solid state of the title compound.

Racemic 2,4(6)-di-O-benzoyl-myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate, C21H18O8,(1), shows a very efficient intermolecular benzoyl-group migration reaction in its crystals. However, the presence of 4,4′-bipyridine molecules in its cocrystal, C21H18O8·C10H8N2,(1)·BP, inhibits the intermolecular benzoyl-group transfer reaction. In(1), molecules are assembled around the crystallographic twofold screw axis (baxis) to form a helical self-assembly through conventional O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. This helical association places the reactive C6-O-benzoyl group (electrophile, El) and the C4-hydroxy group (nucleophile, Nu) in proximity, with a preorganized El...Nu geometry favourable for the acyl transfer reaction. In the cocrystal(1)·BP, the dibenzoate and bipyridine molecules are arranged alternately through O—H...N interactions. The presence of the bipyridine molecules perturbs the regular helical assembly of the dibenzoate molecules and thus restricts the solid-state reactivity. Hence, unlike the parent dibenzoate crystals, the cocrystals do not exhibit benzoyl-transfer reactions. This approach is useful for increasing the stability of small molecules in the crystalline state and could find application in the design of functional solids.

The title compound, also known as isopimaric acid, C20H30O2, was isolated from slash pine rosin. There are two unique molecules in the unit cell. The two cyclohexane rings have classical chair conformations. The cyclohexene ring represents a semi-chair. The molecular conformation is stabilized by weak intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. The molecules are dimerized through their carboxyl groups by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, formingR22(8) rings.

Supramolecular approaches are of great interest in the design of functional materials. The types of aggregates arising from different noncovalent interactions endow materials with intriguing properties. In this sense, J-type aggregates are very attractive due to their unique optical properties and capacity to transport excitons. These features make them great candidates in the design of materials for organic electronic devices. Furthermore, the incorporation of additional hydrogen-bonding functionalities provides J-aggregates with superior directionality and connection among the different π-conjugated cores. The control over the formation of H-bonds to achieve functional aggregates is therefore a promising strategy towards controlled structures with specific functions.This review outlines the most relevant and recent works of π-conjugated systems exhibiting J-type aggregates resulting from hydrogen-bonding interactions. Different types of hydrogen-bonding functionalities will be discussed together with their roles in the aggregate properties, their impact in the optoelectronic properties, the self-assembly mechanisms, and their applications in organic electronics.

A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X–CH3 can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ≤ 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (≤ –1.5 kcal·mol−1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me3N-CH3···OH2] (2a). The interaction energy is enhanced to ≤–5 kcal·mol−1 when X is more electron withdrawing such as in [O2N-CH3··O=Cdme] (20b) and to ≤18 kcal·mol−1 in cationic species like [Me3O+-CH3···OH2]+ (8a).
