Article Abstract
This study investigates the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the formation of cocrystals involving flavonoid molecules, focusing on three active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs): chrysin (CHR), isoliquiritigenin (ISO), and kaempferol (KAE). These APIs form cocrystals with different cocrystal formers (CCFs) through intramolecular hydrogen bonding. We found that disruption of these intramolecular hydrogen bonds leads to decreased stability compared to molecules with intact bonds. The extrema of molecular electrostatic potential surfaces (MEPS) show that flavonoid molecules with disrupted intramolecular hydrogen bonds have stronger hydrogen bond donors and acceptors than those with intact bonds. Using the artificial bee colony algorithm, dimeric structures of these flavonoid molecules were explored, representing early-stage structures in cocrystal formation, including API-API, API-CCF, and CCF-CCF dimers. It was observed that the number and strength of dimeric interactions significantly increased, and the types of interactions changed when intramolecular hydrogen bonds were disrupted. These findings suggest that disrupting intramolecular hydrogen bonds generally hinders the formation of cocrystals. This theoretical study provides deeper insight into the role of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in the cocrystal formation of flavonoids.

In this work, a novel fluorescent probe (compound 2) based on the Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) mechanism was designed and successfully applied to determine HS in human serum. Fluorophore 1,8-naphthalimide was chosen, while the azide group was the recognition group for HS determination. By introducing p-toluidine moiety on the imide part of the molecule, a donor-acceptor (D-A) conjugated system was formed.

As a unique property of the interlocked structures, rotaxane allows for intramolecular motions between its wheel and axle components. Introduction of rotaxanes into polymers can endow them with distinctive macroscopic features and outstanding mechanical properties. Here, we prepare a copillar[5]arene with a hydroxyl and an amino-group on each end, which can spontaneously form a pseudo[1]rotaxane through intramolecular hydrogen bonds.

Photothermal-triggering shape memory polyurethane allows for precise and controllable shape transformation under remote light stimulation, making it highly desirable for applications in intelligent devices. This study develops a sustainable and high-performance lignin-based polyurethane (LPU) using a one-stone-two-birds strategy, wherein lignin serves as both a synthetic monomer and an internal photothermal agent. The incorporation of lignin significantly improved the mechanical properties of LPU, achieving a tensile strength of 42.

In this study, a tetradentate Schiff-base ligand (HL), synthesized by the condensation of ethylenediamine with 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzaldehyde, was reacted with either manganese salts or manganese salts in the presence of various pseudohalides in methanol. This reaction resulted in the formation of five mononuclear Mn complexes: [Mn(L)(HO)](NO)·1/2HO·1/2CHOH (), [Mn(L)(HO)](ClO)·HO (), [Mn(L)(N)(HO)]·1/3HO (), [Mn(L)(NCS)(HO)] (), and [Mn(L)(HO)](dca) () (where dca is dicyanamide ion). X-ray crystallography revealed that the Mn centers adopt a hexa-coordinate pseudo-octahedral geometry, where the equatorial plane is constructed with phenoxo oxygen and imine nitrogen atoms from the Schiff base ligand, while the axial positions are occupied by water molecules or a combination of water and pseudohalides.

Forty-eight stable structures of complexes formed between XCHZ and RCZOH (with X = H, F; R = H, F, Cl, Br, CH, NH; Z = O, S, Se, Te) were comprehensively investigated. It was found that the HZ-RZ complexes were more stable than the FZ-RZ ones, and their stability tendency decreased in the following order of Z: O > S > Se > Te. A predominant role of the electrostatic component was observed in XO-RO, while an outstanding contribution of the induction term was estimated in XS-RS, XSe-RSe, and XTe-RTe.
