Molecular Dimensions

Applications of the data in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) to knowledge acquisition and fundamental research in molecular inorganic chemistry are reviewed. Various classes of application are identified, including the derivation of typical molecular dimensions and their variability and transferability, the derivation and testing of theories of molecular structure and bonding, the identification of reaction paths and related conformational analyses based on the structure correlation hypothesis, and the identification of common and presumably energetically favourable intermolecular interactions. In many of these areas, the availability of plentiful structural data from the CSD is set against the emergence of high-quality computational data on the geometry and energy of inorganic complexes.

The One

Based on our contemporary studies on the structures of biologically active molecules, we focus our attention on the aliphatic chain and its conformation. That flexible spacer definitely influenced the balanced position of all pharmacophoric points in molecules of biological ligands. The one atomic linker and two or three atomic spacers with one heteroatom X =O, S, CH2, NH have been taken into account. The conformational preferences clearly depend on the heteroatom X. In the discussion, we utilize our own X-ray data, computation chemistry methods, population analysis, and statistical data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).

Thiouracil Derivatives

In order to study the preferred hydrogen-bonding pattern of 6-amino-2-thiouracil, C4H5N3OS, (I), crystallization experiments yielded five different pseudopolymorphs of (I), namely the dimethylformamide disolvate, C4H5N3OS·2C3H7NO, (Ia), the dimethylacetamide monosolvate, C4H5N3OS·C4H9NO, (Ib), the dimethylacetamide sesquisolvate, C4H5N3OS·1.5C4H9NO, (Ic), and two different 1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one sesquisolvates, C4H5N3OS·1.5C5H9NO, (Id) and (Ie). All structures containR21(6) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs. In the latter four structures, additionalR22(8) N—H...O hydrogen-bond motifs are present stabilizing homodimers of (I). No type of hydrogen bond other than N—H...O is observed. According to a search of the Cambridge Structural Database, most 2-thiouracil derivatives form homodimers stabilized by anR22(8) hydrogen-bonding pattern, with (i) only N—H...O, (ii) only N—H...S or (iii) alternating pairs of N—H...O and N—H...S hydrogen bonds.

Apparent Similarity

<div><div><div><p>Despite their apparent similarity, framework materials based on tetraphenylmethane and tetraphenylsilane building blocks often have quite different structures and topologies. Herein, we describe a new silicon tetraamidinium compound and use it to prepare crystalline hydrogen bonded frameworks with carboxylate anions in water. The silicon-containing frameworks are compared with those prepared from the analogous carbon tetraamidinium: when biphenyldicarboxylate or tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)methane anions were used similar channel-containing networks are observed for both the silicon and carbon tetraamidinium. When terephthalate or bicarbonate anions were used, different products form. Insights into possible reasons for the different products are provided by a survey of the Cambridge Structural Database and quantum chemical calculations, both of which indicate that, contrary to expectations, tetraphenylsilane derivatives have less geometrical flexibility than tetraphenylmethane derivatives, i.e. they are less able to distort away from ideal tetrahedral bond angles.</p></div></div></div>

Distortion Parameters

The molar ratio variations of organic and inorganic reactants of chloridobismuthates(III) with N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diammonium, [(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3]2+, and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidinium, [NH2C{N(CH3)2}2]+, cations lead to the formation of four different products, namely, tris(N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diammonium) bis[hexachloridobismuthate(III)], [(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3]3[BiCl6]2 (1), catena-poly[N,N-dimethylethane-1,2-diammonium [[tetrachloridobismuthate(III)]-μ-chlorido]], {[(CH3)2NH(CH2)2NH3][BiCl5]} n (2), tris(N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidinium) tri-μ-chlorido-bis[trichloridobismuthate(III)], [NH2C{N(CH3)2}2]3[Bi2Cl9] (3), and catena-poly[N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylguanidinium [[dichloridobismuthate(III)]-di-μ-chlorido]], {[NH2C{N(CH3)2}2][BiCl4]} n (4). The hybrid crystals 1–4, containing relatively large but different organic cations, are composed of four distinct anionic substructures. They are built up from isolated [BiCl6]3− octahedra in 1, from face-sharing bioctahedral [Bi2Cl9]3− units in 3, from polymeric corner-sharing {[BiCl5]2−} n chains in 2 and from edge-sharing {[BiCl4]−} n chains in 4. The distortions shown by the single [BiCl6]3− polyhedra in 1–4 are associated with intrinsic interactions within the anionic substructures and the organic...inorganic substructures interactions, namely, N/C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds. The first factor is the stronger, which is evident in comparison of the experimentally determined geometrical and calculated distortion parameters for the isolated octahedron in 1 to the more complex inorganic substructures in 2–4. The formation of N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds, in terms of their number and strength, is favoured for 1 and 3 containing relatively easily accessed hydrogen-bond acceptors of isolated [BiCl6]3− and [Bi2Cl9]3− units. The studies of the deviations from regularity of the [BiCl6]3− octahedra within inorganic substructures were supported by a survey of the Cambridge Structural Database, which confirmed the role played by different factors in the variations in geometry of the inorganic anions.
