The interrelation between noncovalent bonds and physicochemical properties is in the spotlight due to the practical aspects in the field of crystalline material design. Such study requires a number of similar substances in order to reveal the effect of structural features on observed properties. For this reason, we analyzed a series of three substituted thiazolo[2,3-b][1,3]thiazinium triiodides synthesized by an iodocyclization reaction. They have been characterized with the use of X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. Various types of noncovalent interactions have been considered, and an S…I chalcogen bond type has been confirmed using the electronic criterion based on the calculated electron density and electrostatic potential. The involvement of triiodide anions in the I…I halogen and S…I chalcogen bonding is reflected in the Raman spectroscopic properties of the I–I bonds: identical bond lengths demonstrate different wave numbers of symmetric triiodide vibration and different values of electron density at bond critical points. Chalcogen and halogen bonds formed by the terminal iodine atom of triiodide anion and numerous cation…cation pairwise interactions can serve as one of the reasons for increased thermal stability and retention of iodine in the melt under heating.

Two kinds of iodine–iodine halogen bonds are the focus of our attention in the crystal structure of the title salt, C12H8ClINO+·I3−, described by X-ray diffraction. The first kind is a halogen bond, reinforced by charges, between the I atom of the heterocyclic cation and the triiodide anion. The second kind is the rare case of a halogen bond between the terminal atoms of neighbouring triiodide anions. The influence of relatively weakly bound iodine inside an asymmetric triiodide anion on the thermal and Raman spectroscopic properties has been demonstrated.

Double rare-earth (La; Sm/Gd) substituted Aurivillius family of Bismuth Layered Structured Ferroelectrics (BLSF) namely Bi2.6Sm0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BSLT; sample-A), Bi2.6Gd0.2La0.2TiNbO9 (BGLT; sample-B), single phase ceramics were prepared by solid state route. In addition, intergrowth (x BSLT - (1-x) BGLT, where x=0.49; sample-C) and solid solution (BSLT­x - BGLTy; where x + y=0.4; sample-D) materials were prepared. Dielectric, ferroelectric and Raman spectroscopic properties were studied on the said above materials. The X-ray diffraction analysis and Raman spectra revealed well-formation of stable structure. Though, the sample-C and sample-D have lower coercive field, compared to the sample-A and sample-B, but they exhibited sharp hysterisis loop. Therefore the instrinsic defects of sample-D inhabits more sensitivity towards the ferroelectric behaviour. The results were corroborated to the impedance and dielectrical data. The results were consistent with the SEM micrographs and complex impedance plots. An attempt is made to understand the effect of rare-earth ions on A-site of layered-pervoskite structure, defined as: (Bi2O2)2+(An-1BnO3n+1)2-.The term n represents number of pervoskite blocks interleaved with the bismuth oxide layers.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a series of phosphorescent cocrystals which were assembled by 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,4-DITFB) and either 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DMPhe), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DPPhe) or 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline (DClPhe)viaC—I...N halogen bonding. These cocrystals, labeled (1), (2) and (3), respectively, are phosphorescent and a distinct change in phosphorescent color can be observed from orange–yellow, green to yellow–green, with well defined vibrational band maxima at 587, 520 and 611 nm for (1), (2) and (3). Based on the dependence of halogen bonding in sites and strength, we discussed the impact of substituents with different electron-withdrawing effects and steric hindrance on intermolecular noncovalent interactions and phosphorescence. The method of inducing and modulating phosphorescence by halogen bonding and other weak non-covalent interactions through changing the substituent groups of molecules should be significant in both theory and the application of optical function materials with predictable and modulated luminescent properties.

In addition to the underlying basic concepts and early recognition of halogen bonding, this paper reviews the conflicting views that consistently appear in the area of noncovalent interactions and the ability of covalently bonded halogen atoms in molecules to participate in noncovalent interactions that contribute to packing in the solid-state. It may be relatively straightforward to identify Type-II halogen bonding between atoms using the conceptual framework of σ-hole theory, especially when the interaction is linear and is formed between the axial positive region (σ-hole) on the halogen in one monomer and a negative site on a second interacting monomer. A σ-hole is an electron density deficient region on the halogen atom X opposite to the R–X covalent bond, where R is the remainder part of the molecule. However, it is not trivial to do so when secondary interactions are involved as the directionality of the interaction is significantly affected. We show, by providing some specific examples, that halogen bonds do not always follow the strict Type-II topology, and the occurrence of Type-I and -III halogen-centered contacts in crystals is very difficult to predict. In many instances, Type-I halogen-centered contacts appear simultaneously with Type-II halogen bonds. We employed the Independent Gradient Model, a recently proposed electron density approach for probing strong and weak interactions in molecular domains, to show that this is a very useful tool in unraveling the chemistry of halogen-assisted noncovalent interactions, especially in the weak bonding regime. Wherever possible, we have attempted to connect some of these results with those reported previously. Though useful for studying interactions of reasonable strength, IUPAC’s proposed “less than the sum of the van der Waals radii” criterion should not always be assumed as a necessary and sufficient feature to reveal weakly bound interactions, since in many crystals the attractive interaction happens to occur between the midpoint of a bond, or the junction region, and a positive or negative site.

AbstractIt is well known that, under certain conditions, C(sp3) atoms behave, via their σ-hole, as Lewis acids in tetrel bonding. Here, we show that methyl groups, when bound to atoms less electronegative than carbon, can counterintuitively participate in noncovalent interactions as electron density donors. Thousands of experimental structures are found in which methyl groups behave as Lewis bases to establish alkaline, alkaline earth, triel, tetrel, pnictogen, chalcogen and halogen bonds. Theoretical calculations confirm the high directionality and significant strength of the interactions that arise from a common pattern based on the electron density holes model. Moreover, despite the absence of lone pairs, methyl groups are able to transfer charge from σ bonding orbitals into empty orbitals of the electrophile to reinforce the attractive interaction.

A high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurement of 2,5-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (DCBQ) at 20 K was carried out. The experimental charge density was modeled using the Hansen–Coppens multipolar expansion and the topology of the electron density was analyzed in terms of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Two different multipole models, predominantly differentiated by the treatment of the chlorine atom, were obtained. The experimental results have been compared to theoretical results in the form of a multipolar refinement against theoretical structure factors and through direct topological analysis of the electron density obtained from the optimized periodic wavefunction. The similarity of the properties of the total electron density in all cases demonstrates the robustness of the Hansen–Coppens formalism. All intra- and intermolecular interactions have been characterized.

A classical elpasolite-type structure is considered with respect to dynamically disordered ammonium fluoro-(oxofluoro-)metallates. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from high quality (NH4)3HfF7 and (NH4)3Ti(O2)F5 samples enabled the refinement of the ligand and cationic positions in the cubic Fm \bar 3 m (Z = 4) structure. Electron-density atomic profiles show that the ligand atoms are distributed in a mixed (split) position instead of 24e. One of the ammonium groups is disordered near 8c so that its central atom (N1) forms a tetrahedron with vertexes in 32f. However, a center of another group (N2) remains in the 4b site, whereas its H atoms (H2) occupy the 96k positions instead of 24e and, together with the H3 atom in the 32f position, they form eight spatial orientations of the ammonium group. It is a common feature of all ammonium fluoroelpasolites with orientational disorder of structural units of a dynamic nature.

TiAlSiN coatings were deposited on WC-Co metal by using a cathodic arc ion deposition method of cylindrical cathode. We used Ti / Al (50 / 50 at.%) arc target and silicon sputter target. The influence of the nitrogen pressure, TiAl cathode arc current, bias voltage, and deposition temperature on the mechanical and the structural properties of the films were investigated. The structural features of the films were investigation in detail using X-ray diffraction. And coatings were characterized by means of FE-SEM, nanoindentation, Scratch tester, Tribology tester, XRD and XPS. The hardness of the film reached 43 GPa at the cathode arc current of 230 A and decreased with a further increase of the arc current. And the adhesion of the film reached 34 N. The results showed that the TiAlSiN coating exhibited an excellent mechanical properties which application for tools and molds.
