Organic selenocyanates R–Se–CN can act as an amphoteric chalcogen bond (ChB) donor (through the Se atom) and acceptor (through the N atom lone pair). Co-crystallization of tri-substituted 1,3,5-tris(selenocyanatomethyl)-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene (1) is investigated with different ditopic Lewis bases acting as chalcogen bond (ChB) acceptors to investigate the outcome of the competition, as ChB acceptor, between the nitrogen lone pair of the SeCN group and other Lewis bases involving pyridinyl or carbonyl functions. In the presence of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP), benzoquinone (BQ) and para-dinitrobenzene (pDNB) as ditopic Lewis bases, a recurrent oligomeric motif stabilized by six ChB interactions is observed, involving six SeCN groups and the ChB acceptor sites of TMP, BQ and pDNB in the 2:1 adducts (1)2·TMP, (1)2·BQ and (1)2·pDNB.

13C chemical shifts and 13C–31P couplings are reported for 11 cyclic phosphoramidates of ring sizes from four to nine. Vicinal couplings are compared with those of carbocyclic analogs and provide insight regarding the degree of nitrogen lone pair derealization into the N—P bond. For six-membered and larger rings, there appears to be nearly complete lone pair delocalization, i.e., a trigonal planar nitrogen atom. In azetidine derivatives the nitrogen lone pair remains localized, giving rise to a highly puckered ring conformation. Pyrrolidine derivatives are viewed as having a nitrogen with a partially delocalized electron pair.

Poly(4-vinylpyridine-co-divinylbenzene)-Co2+ was characterized using infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TG-DTA), N2-physisorption and polarography. Thermal analysis suggests sufficient thermal stability of the polymer support, under reaction conditions. From polarography measurements, the Co2+ content on polymer-supported catalysts is estimated and it was proved that no significant leaching occurred during the activity tests. At the molecular level, FTIR of P4VP-DVB-Co2+ reveals that the pyridine nitrogen lone pair coordinates to the metal center in the polymeric complex. The obtained P4VP-DVB-Co2+ catalysts performed interesting catalytic activity in reaction of the cyclohexane oxidation with air, indicating that increasing Co2+ content lowers the initiation temperature and raises the decomposition of cyclohexylhydroperoxide.

A CSD analysis and DFT study reveal that the nitrogen lone-pair in [N(PPh3)2]+ is partially intact and involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding.


Data on calculated orbital energies and experimentally measured ionization potentials of carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic compounds are compared and contrasted. The ordering or orbital energies and ionization potentials do not always seem to parallel one another, probably owing to either electron correlation effects, or to deviations from Koopman’s theorem. The effects on photoelectron spectra of using different light sources and analysers are discussed in relation to their bearing on the orbital orderings of aromatic compounds. The high resolution He 584 A. photoelectron spectrum of pyridine is shown to be open to two interpretations regarding the ordering of the ionization potentials of the π orbitals and the ‘nitrogen lone pair’ (n). One of the interpretations involves the three lowest pyridine ionization potentials being π (9.2 eV), π L (9.5 eV) and n (10.5 eV) whilst the other has the first three ionization potentials being the order π , n, π . The photoelectron spectra of substituted pyridines and diazines are discussed in the light of the two possible explanations for the pyridine spectrum.

The analysis of the n.m.r, spectra of 2,2?-, 3,3?-, and 4,4?-bipyridyl and three dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyls is reported and the factors determining the relative chemical shifts of the ring protons and methyl groups in several solvents are discussed. The diamagnetic anisotropy of the neighbouring ring and electrostatic field effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons are shown to be of roughly equal importance for derivatives of 2,2?-bipyridyl except in hydrogen bonding solvents. Attenuation of the electrostatic field effect in polar, and particularly in hydrogen bonding solvents, is established for 4- picoline, and for the bipyridyls, and this effect is responsible for striking changes in the spectrum of 2,2?-bipyridyl in hydrogen bonding solvents. An approximate interplanar angle of 58� is derived for 3,3?- dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyl, and 2,2?-bipyridyl and its 4,4?- and 5,5?- dimethyl derivatives appear to be trans coplanar in all solvents. 3,3?- Bipyridyl and 4,4?-bipyridyl are probably highly twisted in all solvents, or alternatively, behave as essentially free rotors. The predicted conformations are in good agreement with the electronic spectral data.

Charge-transfer (CT) complexation between some [2.2]- and [2.2.2]paracyclophane-carbamates as donors with 2,3-dichloro-5.6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDO ) as well as tetracyanoethylene (TCNE) as π-acceptors has been evidenced by VIS. 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The site of interaction in the two different donor systems was determined. The results reveal no contribution of the nitrogen lone pair electrons of the carbamate functional group in the CT complexation. and the interaction is mainly of π-π* type. In addition, the existence of the transannular electronic interactions in [2.2]paracyclophane derivatives is responsible for CT complex formation.
