The preparation of 1,4,8,11-tetrabromo-5b[small alpha],6,12b[small alpha],13-tetrahydropentaleno[1,2-b:4,5-b[prime or minute]]diquinoline is described. This is a further member of the tetrahalo aryl host family, and forms crystalline lattice inclusion compounds with many guests. The X-ray structures of the allyl cyanide, 1,2,3-trichloropropane, chlorobenzene, toluene, benzene-water, methyl chloroform and carbon tetrachloride inclusion compounds are described, and compared with that of the solvent-free apohost. Although several different structural types are produced, the recently reported pi-halogen dimer (PHD) interaction plays an important role in all of these, except for that of pure (where the packing energy is the least favourable of the series).

Two 1,3,4-oxadiazole-2-thione--Mannich derivatives, specifically 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[(2-trifluoromethylphenylamino)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3)-thione (1) and 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-[(2,5-difluorophenylamino)methyl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole-2(3)-thione (2), were synthesized and then characterized by elemental analysis and NMR (H and C) spectroscopy and the single crystal X-ray diffraction method. The formed weak intermolecular interactions in the solid-state structures of these derivatives were thoroughly investigated utilizing a variety of theoretical tools such as Hirshfeld surface analysis and quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). Furthermore, the CLP-PIXEL and density functional theory calculations were used to study the energetics of molecular dimers.

A new type of halogen bond involving multivalent astatine: an ab initio study.

Phys Chem Chem Phys

Theoretical studies on the dimers formed by CO with the halides of multivalent astatine as a Lewis-acid center are carried out to examine the typical characteristics of supervalent halogen bonds. Calculations at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level reveal that the multiple nucleophilic sites of multivalent halide monomers can promote the formation of various types of halogen bonds, among which the most stable ones are At-halogen bond complexes with multivalent astatine as a Lewis acid center, followed by the π-halogen bond dimers, and the weakest ones are the X-halogen bonds. Compared with multivalent Cl-, Br-, and I-centers, At, as the heaviest halogen, exhibits the highest halogen-bond donating ability.

C-I...N and C-I...π halogen bonding in the structures of 1-benzyliodoimidazole derivatives.

Acta Crystallogr C Struct Chem

January 2017

Chemistry, Missouri State University, 901 South National Avenue, Springfield, MO 65897, USA.

Halogen bonding is a well-established and intensively studied intermolecular interaction that has also been used in the preparation of functional materials. While polyfluoroiodo- and polyfluorobromobenzenes have been widely used as aromatic halogen-bond donors, there have been very few studies of iodoimidazoles with regard to halogen bonding. We describe here the X-ray structures of three iodoimidazole derivatives, namely 1-benzyl-2-iodo-1H-imidazole, CHIN, (1), 1-benzyl-4-iodo-1H-imidazole, CHIN, (2), and 1-benzyl-2-iodo-1H-benzimidazole, CHIN, (3), and the halogen bonds that dominate the intermolecular interactions in each of these three structures.

The syntheses and crystal structures of 16 new rare-earth (RE = La(3+)-Y(3+))-3,5-dichlorobenzoic acid-terpyridine molecular materials characterized via single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction are reported. These 16 complexes consist of four unique structure types ranging from molecular dimers (La(3+) and Ce(3+)) to tetramers (Pr(3+)-Y(3+)) as one moves across the RE(3+) series. This structural evolution is accompanied by subsequent changes in modes of supramolecular assembly (halogen bonding, halogen-π, halogen-halogen, and π-π interactions).
