Hydrogen bond donor catalysis represents a rapidly growing subfield of organocatalysis. While traditional hydrogen bond donors containing N–H and O–H moieties have been effectively used for electrophile activation, activation based on other types of non-covalent interactions is less common. This mini review highlights recent progress in developing and exploring new organic catalysts for electrophile activation through the formation of C–H hydrogen bonds and C–X halogen bonds.

Supramolecular polymers are linear chains of low molar mass monomers held together by reversible and directional non-covalent interactions, which can form gels or highly viscous solutions if the self-assembled chains are sufficiently long and rigid. The viscosity of these solutions can be controlled by adding monofunctional compounds, which interact with the chain extremities: chain stoppers. We have synthesized new substituted ureas and thioureas and tested them as chain stoppers for a bis-urea based supramolecular polymer. In particular, the bis-thiourea analogue of the bis-urea monomer is shown not to form a supramolecular polymer, but a good chain stopper, because it is a strong hydrogen bond donor and a weak acceptor. Moreover, all substituted ureas tested reduce the viscosity of the supramolecular polymer solutions, but the best chain stopper is obtained when two hydrogen bond acceptors are placed in the same relative position as for the monomer and when no hydrogen bond donor is present.

In molecules with two functional groups that form hydrogen bonds, the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonds does not depend significantly on the structure.

The title compound, C24H18Br2N4O2·H2O, forms a supramolecular structure via N—H...O, O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. In the crystal structure, the water molecule serves as a bifurcated hydrogen-bond acceptor and as a hydrogen-bond donor.

Three structures of the form bis(thione)gold(I) di(methanesulfonyl)amide [thione = imidazolidine- 2-thione, 1; 1-methyl-imidazolidine-2-thione, 2; thiazolidine-2-thione, 3] were determined; all crystallize with one formula unit in the asymmetric unit. Each N-H hydrogen bond donor forms one classical two-centre hydrogen bond with an anion acceptor. Compound 1 thereby forms a complex layer structure with a layer thickness of 10.17 Å ; the packing may be analysed in terms of thinner subunit layers consisting of interlinked, hydrogen-bonded chains and rings. Compound 2 forms a chain structure consisting of a series of “hairpin bends”, a common feature in the gold complexes of 1-alkyl-imidazolidine-2-thiones. Compound 3 forms a corrugated ribbon structure in which the central region consists of parallel S-Au-S axes linked by aurophilic interactions; the anions exercise a “clamping” function by forming hydrogen bonds at the periphery of the ribbons. Further short contacts can be classed as weak hydrogen bonds C-H ··· X, with X = N, O, S or Au.

Intramolecular N–H⋯OC hydrogen bonding between the inner amide groups dictates the receptor–anion complementarity in a tripodal receptor towards selective encapsulation of hydrogenphosphate in the outer urea cavity by multiple hydrogen bonds.

This article describes some highlights of the research which has been carried out in my laboratory at the University of Ottawa over the period covering 2005 to 2014. My research is in the general areas of solid-state NMR, applications of quantum chemistry, and biomolecular NMR. The format will follow that of my 2014 Canadian Society for Chemistry Keith Laidler Award presentation given in Vancouver in June 2014 at the 97th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition. Following a brief introduction, I will present some of our most interesting and exciting recent advances according to the following six themes: 1. Fundamental solid-state NMR. 2. Materials characterization and NMR crystallography. 3. Pharmaceuticals and polymorphism. 4. Non-covalent interactions: Halogen bonds. 5. Biomolecular NMR. 6. Software development.
