A neutron study of the crystalline complex of 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) with 1,2-dichloromaleic acid (ClMH2) has been carried out at 100 K using the Laue time-of-flight technique. The moieties are planar. The neutron data indicate that both [N—H...N]+ and [O—H...O]− hydrogen bonds in the complex are asymmetric. There are significant differences between the neutron and X-ray temperature factors, C—H, N—H and O—H bond lengths. There is a strong correlation between the neutron and X-ray temperature factors for non-H atoms and no correlation for H-atom temperature factors. According to the neutron data the involvement of a given H atom in a weak C—H...O hydrogen bond can be correlated with the ratio of equivalent temperature factors of the H and non-H atoms to which they are attached.

N,N-Dimethylbiguanidinium bis(hydrogensquarate) features an impressive range of hydrogen bonds within the same crystal structure: neighbouring anions aggregate to a dianionic pair through two strong O—H...O interactions; one of these can be classified among the shortest hydrogen bonds ever studied. Cations and anions in this organic salt further interact via conventional N—H...O and nonclassical C—H...O contacts to an extended structure. As all these interactions occur in the same sample, the title compound is particularly suitable to monitor even subtle trends in hydrogen bonds. Neutron and high-resolution X-ray diffraction experiments have enabled us to determine the electron density precisely and to address its properties with an emphasis on the nature of the X—H...O interactions. Sensitive criteria such as the Laplacian of the electron density and energy densities in the bond-critical points reveal the incipient covalent character of the shortest O—H...O bond. These findings are in agreement with the precise geometry from neutron diffraction: the shortest hydrogen bond is also significantly more symmetric than the longer interactions.

The geometry of hydrogen bonds in 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose (levoglucosan) is accurately determined by refinement of time-of-flight neutron single-crystal diffraction data. Molecules of levoglucosan are held together by a hydrogen-bond array formed by a combination of strong O—H...O and supporting weaker C—H...O bonds. These are fully and accurately detailed by the neutron diffraction study. The strong hydrogen bonds link molecules in finite chains, with hydroxyl O atoms acting as both donors and acceptors of hydroxyl H atoms. A comparison of molecular and solid-state DFT calculations predicts red shifts of O—H and associated blue shifts of C—H stretching frequencies due to the formation of hydrogen bonds in this system.

Atom Model

High-resolution low-temperature synchrotron X-ray diffraction data of the salt L-phenylalaninium hydrogen maleate are used to test the new automated iterative Hirshfeld atom refinement (HAR) procedure for the modelling of strong hydrogen bonds. The HAR models used present the first examples ofZ′ > 1 treatments in the framework of wavefunction-based refinement methods. L-Phenylalaninium hydrogen maleate exhibits several hydrogen bonds in its crystal structure, of which the shortest and the most challenging to model is the O—H...O intramolecular hydrogen bond present in the hydrogen maleate anion (O...O distance is about 2.41 Å). In particular, the reconstruction of the electron density in the hydrogen maleate moiety and the determination of hydrogen-atom properties [positions, bond distances and anisotropic displacement parameters (ADPs)] are the focus of the study. For comparison to the HAR results, different spherical (independent atom model, IAM) and aspherical (free multipole model, MM; transferable aspherical atom model, TAAM) X-ray refinement techniques as well as results from a low-temperature neutron-diffraction experiment are employed. Hydrogen-atom ADPs are furthermore compared to those derived from a TLS/rigid-body (SHADE) treatment of the X-ray structures. The reference neutron-diffraction experiment reveals a truly symmetric hydrogen bond in the hydrogen maleate anion. Only with HAR is it possible to freely refine hydrogen-atom positions and ADPs from the X-ray data, which leads to the best electron-density model and the closest agreement with the structural parameters derived from the neutron-diffraction experiment,e.g.the symmetric hydrogen position can be reproduced. The multipole-based refinement techniques (MM and TAAM) yield slightly asymmetric positions, whereas the IAM yields a significantly asymmetric position.

Molecular Rotations

Single crystals of fully hydrated copper sulphate have been studied by neutron diffraction and the measurements have been used to construct projections of the neutron-scattering density, due to the atomic nuclei, on the three crystallographic axial planes. These provide full details of the shape and environment of the water molecules and of the hydrogen bonds which link together the atoms in the structure, which was originally proposed by Beevers & Lipson as a result of X -ray diffraction work. It is found that the H—O—H angles for all the water molecules are within a degree or two of the tetrahedral value and the hydrogen bonds have to be bent by up to 26° in order to accommodate them. Corresponding measurements have been made at a series of five different temperatures between 20 and 90°C in order to test a suggestion that molecular rotations of the water molecules occurred before the onset of dehydration: the neutron data refute this suggestion.

The crystal structure of deuterated trans-tetraamminedinitronickel(II), Ni(ND3)4(NO2)2, has been determined by single-crystal neutron diffraction methods at 4·2 K. Crystals are monoclinic, C2/m, a 1058(l), b 672(1), c 586.3(3) pm, β 114.82(5)�, Z = 2. Diffractometry has provided Bragg intensities for 219 independent reflections; and the structure has been refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to R(F2) 0·070 and χ2 3·8. There are slight differences in the molecular geometries determined by neutron diffraction and earlier X-ray determinations of Ni(NH3)4(NO2)2 at 295 and 130 K. Small, but significant, decreases are evident in all non-hydrogen bond lengths on decrease in temperature from 295 to 4·2 K, up to a maximum of 2·0(4) pm for the Ni-NH3/ND3 bond. The magnitudes of these decreases are correlated with the force constants of the bonds. The intermolecular geometry and thermal parameters show that in the ab plane there is a network of relatively strong, linear N-D···O hydrogen bonds. In the c* direction there is a slightly bent, longer, N-D(1)···O bond which is weaker. This causes a large amplitude of rigid-body translational motion in the c* direction, together with high thermal motion of D(1) in the b axial direction.

Two new linker-type molecules 1a and 1b composed of o-hydroxyacetophenone coordinative groups attached to linear ethynylene or 1,4-phenylenediethynylene spacer units have been synthesised and structurally characterised. An X-ray crystallographic study for both compounds has shown structures with strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds fitting in the model of ‘Intramolecular Resonance Assisted Hydrogen Bond (IRHAB)’. Initial coordination experiments with Cu(II) were performed and the resulting materials characterised by PXRD. The similarity of the copper coordination between these compounds and copper(II) acetylacetonate complexes was demonstrated by XPS measurements. Based on the evidence of these studies, and on elemental analysis, the formation of the corresponding coordination polymers comprising Cu(II) and the linkers has been proposed

"The renaissance in Laue studies - at neutron sources - provides us with access to single crystal neutron diffraction data for synthetic compounds without requiring synthesis of prohibitively large amounts of compound or improbably large crystals. Such neutron diffraction studies provide vital data where proof of the presence or absence of hydrogen in particular locations is required and which cannot validly be proved by X-ray studies. Since the commissioning of KOALA at OPAL in 2009[1] we have obtained numerous data sets which demonstrate the vital importance of measuring data even where the extent of the diffraction pattern is at relatively low resolution - especially when compared to that obtainable for the same compound with X-rays. In the Laue experiment performed with a fixed radius detector, data reduction is only feasible for crystals in the ""goldilocks"" zone – where the unit cell is relatively large for the detector, a correspondingly low resolution diffraction pattern in which adjacent spots are less affected by overlap will yield more data against which a structure can be refined than a pattern of higher resolution – one where neighbouring spots overlap rendering both unusable (in our current methodology). Analogous application of powder neutron diffraction in such determinations is also considered. Single crystal neutron diffraction studies of several important compounds (up to 5KDa see figure below)[2] in which precise determination of hydride content by neutron diffraction was pivotal to the final formulation will be presented. The neutron data sets typically possess 20% or fewer unique data at substantially "lower resolution" than the corresponding X-ray data sets. Careful refinement clearly reveals chemical detail which is typically unexplored in related X-ray diffraction studies reporting high profile chemistry despite the synthetic route being one which hydride ought to be considered/excluded in product formulation."

N,N′-Dibutyl-terephthaldiamide (1), N,N′-dihexyl-terephthaldiamide (2), N,N′-di(tert-butyl)- terephthaldiamide (3), N,N,N′,N′-tetrabutyl-terephthaldiamide (4), 1,1′-terephthaloylbis- pyrrolidine (5), 1,1′-terephthaloyl-bis-piperidine (6), and 4,4′-terephthaloyl-bis-morpholine (7) have been synthesised and physicochemically characterised. The X-ray structure determinations reveal imposed inversion symmetry for compounds 1-6; compound 3 has two independent molecules with inversion symmetry in the asymmetric unit. Compounds 1-3 form classical hydrogen bonds of the type N-H···O=C, leading to a ribbon-like arrangement of molecules (1 and 2) or a layer structure (3). Compound 3 also displays a very short C-H···O interaction, a type of hydrogen bond that is also observed in compounds 4-7, which lack classical donors; thereby compounds 4-6 form layer structures and 7 a complex threedimensional network.

The title compound, 1-[N-methyl-N-(phenyl)amino]-3-(4-methylphenyl)thiourea (1), was synthesized by the reaction of 1-methyl-1-phenyl hydrazine and 4-tolyl isothiocyanate, and was characterized by spectroscopy (1H and 13C{1H} NMR, IR, and UV), elemental analysis as well as by single crystal X-ray crystallography. In the solid state, the molecule exists as the thioamide tautomer and features an anti-disposition of the thioamide–N–H atoms; an intramolecular N–H⋯N hydrogen bond is noted. The molecular conformation resembles that of the letter L. In the molecular packing, thioamide-N1–H⋯S1(thione) hydrogen bonds lead to centrosymmetric eight-membered {⋯HNCS}2 synthons. The dimers are assembled into a supramolecular layer in the bc-plane by phenyl- and methyl-C–H⋯π(phenyl) interactions.
