A series of 4,5-dibromo-2-(4-substituted phenyl)hexahydro-3a,6-epoxyisoindol-1(4H)-ones were synthesized by reaction of the corresponding 2-(4-substituted phenyl)-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-3a,6-epoxyisoindol-1(6H)-ones with [(Me2NCOMe)2H]Br3 in dry chloroform under reflux for 3−5 h. In contrast to the 4-F and 4-Cl substituents, one of the bromine atoms of the isoindole moiety behaves as a halogen bond donor in the formation of intermolecular halogen bonding in the 4-H, 4-Br and 4-I analogues. Not only intermolecular hydrogen bonds, but also Ha⋯Ha and Ha⋯π types of halogen bonds in the 4-H, 4-Br, and 4-I compounds, contribute to the formation of supramolecular architectures leading to 2D or 3D structures.

Catalytic Activation

The role of halogen bonding (XB) in chemical catalysis has largely involved using XB donors as Lewis acid activators to modulate the reactivity of partner Lewis bases. We explore a more uncommon scenario, where a Lewis base modulates reactivity via a spectator halogen bond interaction. Our computational studies reveal that spectator halogen bonds may play an important role in modulating the rate of S<sub>N</sub>2 reactions. Most notably, π acceptors such as PF<sub>3</sub> significantly decrease the barrier to subsitution by decreasing electron density in the very electron rich transition state. Such π-backbonding represents an example of a heretofor unexplored situation in halogen bonding: the combination of both s-donation and π-backdonation in this “non-covalent” interaction.

Supramolecular Architectures

Hydrogen bonds are considered a powerful organizing force in designing supramolecular architectures because they are directional, selective and reversible at room temperature.trans-Dithiocyanatotetrakis(4-vinylpyridine)nickel(II) is a popular host for the inclusion of small molecules and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-1,4-diiodobenzene (TFDIB) represents a strong halogen-bond donor. These constituents cocrystallize in a 1:1 stoichiometry, [Ni(NCS)2(C7H7N)4]·C6F4I2, in the tetragonal space groupI41/a. Both residues occupy special positions,i.e.the pseudo-octahedral NiIIcomplex is located on a twofold axis and the TFDIB molecule sits about a crystallographic centre of inversion. The components interactviaa short S...I contact of 3.2891 (12) Å between the thiocyanate S atom of the host and the iodine substituent at the perhalogenated aromatic ring of the smaller guest molecule. This interaction meets the commonly accepted criteria for a halogen bond. Such halogen bonds to sulfur are significantly less common than to smaller electronegative atoms.

To explore the operational role of noncovalent interactions in supramolecular architectures with designed topologies, a series of solid-state structures of 2- and 4-formylphenyl 4-substituted benzenesulfonates was investigated. The compounds are 2-formylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, C14H12O4S, 3a, 2-formylphenyl 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate, C13H9ClO4S, 3b, 2-formylphenyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate, C13H9BrO4S, 3c, 4-formylphenyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonate, C14H12O4S, 4a, 4-formylphenyl 4-chlorobenzenesulfonate, 4b, C13H9ClO4S, and 4-formylphenyl 4-bromobenzenesulfonate, C13H9BrO4S, 4c. The title compounds were synthesized under basic conditions from salicylaldehyde/4-hydroxybenzaldehydes and various aryl sulfonyl chlorides. Remarkably, halogen-bonding interactions are found to be important to rationalize the solid-state crystal structures. In particular, the formation of O...X (X = Cl and Br) and type I X...X halogen-bonding interactions have been analyzed by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations and characterized using Bader's theory of `atoms in molecules' and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surfaces, confirming the relevance and stabilizing nature of these interactions. They have been compared to antiparallel π-stacking interactions that are formed between the arylsulfonates.

In recent years, the non-covalent interaction of halogen bonding (XB) has found increasing application in organocatalysis. However, reports of the activation of metal-ligand bonds by XB have so far been limited to a few reactions with elemental iodine or bromine. Herein, we present the activation of metal-halogen bonds by two classes of inert halogen bond donors and the use of the resulting activated complexes in homogenous gold catalysis. The only recently explored class of iodolium derivatives were shown to be effective activators in two test reactions and their activity could be modulated by blocking of the Lewis acidic sites. Bis(benzimidazolium)-based halogen bonding activators provided even more rapid conversion, while the non-iodinated reference compound showed little activity. The role of halogen bonding in the activation of metal-halogen bonds was further investigated by NMR experiments and DFT calculations, which support the mode of activation occurring via halogen bonding.

Eight new adducts and derivatives have been synthesized and studied by infrared. Discrete, layered or infinite chain structures are suggested with an oxalate behaving as a monodentate, bidentate, monochelating or bichelating ligand, the environment around the tin centres being tetrahedral, cis trigonal bipyramidal or octahedral. In all the studied compounds, supramolecular architectures may be obtained when intermolecular hydrogen bonds are considered.
