Computational evaluation of halogen-bonded cocrystals enables prediction of their mechanochemical interconversion reactions.

ABSTRACT: Periodic density-functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to predict the thermodynamic stability and the likelihood of interconversion between a series of halogen-bonded cocrystals. The outcomes of mechanochemical transformations were in excellent agreement with the theoretical predictions, demonstrating the power of periodic DFT as a method for designing solid-state mechanochemical reactions prior to experimental work. Furthermore, the calculated DFT energies were compared with experimental dissolution calorimetry measurements, marking the first such benchmark for the accuracy of periodic DFT calculations in modelling transformations of halogen-bonded molecular crystals.

Uracil Derivatives for Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:Among non-covalent interactions, halogen bonding is emerging as a new powerful tool for supramolecular self-assembly. Here, along with a green and effective method, we report three new halogen-bonded cocrystals containing uracil derivatives and 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-diiodobenzene as X-bond donor coformer. These multicomponent solids were prepared both by solvent-drop grinding and solution methods and further characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy, and thermal methods (TGA-DSC). In order to study the relative importance of hydrogen versus halogen bonds in the crystal packing, computational methods were applied.

Conservation of the Hydrogen-Bonded Pyridone Homosynthon in Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:Seven cocrystals of pyridone and perfluorinated halocarbons have been prepared. In all cases pairs of pyridone molecules are connected into dimers by two N-H···O hydrogen bonds, forming the characteristic pyridone homosynthon of R2 2(8) topology. These dimers further act as acceptors of halogen bonds through the two pyridone oxygen atoms, forming two (in six cases) or three (in one case) halogen bonds with the donor molecules. The stoichiometry of the cocrystals obtained and the overall topology of the supramolecular architecture depend primarily on the topicity of the halogen bond donor, with the monotopic donor yielding a cocrystal of 1:1 stoichiometry comprising discrete supramolecular complexes, the ditopic donors cocrystals of 1:2 stoichiometry comprising chains, and the tritopic donor a cocrystal of 1:2 stoichiometry comprising hydrogen- and halogen-bonded layers. The results indicate that the pyridone homosynthon is a robust and reliable supramolecular synthon that is conserved in halogen-bonded cocrystals of pyridone.

Cobaloximes as Building Blocks in Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:In this work, we explore the halogen-bonded cocrystallization potential of cobaloxime complexes in the synthesis of cocrystals with perhalogenated benzenes. We demonstrate a strategy for synthesizing halogen-bonded metal-organic cocrystals by utilizing cobaloximes whose pendant bromide group and oxime oxygen enable halogen bonding. By combining three well-known halogen bond donor molecules differing in binding geometry and composition with three cobaloxime units, we obtained a total of four previously unreported cocrystals. Single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments showed that the majority of obtained cocrystals exhibited the formation of the targeted I···O and I···Br motives. These results illustrate the potential of cobaloximes as halogen bond acceptors and indicate that this type of halogen bond acceptors may offer a novel route to metal-organic halogen-bonded cocrystals.

Halogen-Bonded Supramolecular Parallelograms: From Self-Complementary Iodoalkyne Halogen-Bonded Dimers to 1:1 and 2:2 Iodoalkyne Halogen-Bonded Cocrystals.

Project description:The formation of supramolecular parallelograms utilizing iodoalkyne-pyridine halogen bonding is described. The crystal structures of four iodoalkynyl-substituted (phenylethynyl)pyridines demonstrate the feasibility of discrete self-complementary dimer formation. These compounds 3-(2-iodoethynyl-phenylethynyl) pyridine (1), 2-(3-iodoethynyl-phenylethynyl) pyridine (2), 3-(4,5-difluoro-2-iodoethynyl-phenylethynyl) pyridine (3), and 2-(5-iodoethynyl-2,4-dimethylphenylethynyl) pyridine (4) all form parallelogram-shaped dimers with two self-complementary short N-I halogen bonds. The potential formation of iodoalkynyl halogen-bonded supramolecular macrocycles is demonstrated by the formation of a discrete halogen-bonded parallelogram-shaped complex in the 1:1 cocrystal formed from the bis iodoalkyne, 1-iodoethynyl-2-(3-iodoethynyl-phenylethynyl)-4,5-dimethoxybenzene (6), and the dipyridyl, 5-phenyl-2-(pyridin-3-ylethynyl)pyridine (7). Furthermore, discrete supramolecular parallelograms form within the 2:2 cocrystal formed between 1,2-bis(iodoethynyl)-4,5-difluorobenzene and the dipyridyl 4-(3-pyridylethynyl) pyridine (8).

Supramolecular Sandwiches: Halogen-Bonded Coformers Direct [2+2] Photoreactivity in Two-Component Cocrystals.

Project description:The halogen-bond (X-bond) donors 1,3- and 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,3-di-I-tFb and 1,4-di-I-tFb, respectively) form cocrystals with trans-1,2-bis(2-pyridyl)ethylene (2,2'-bpe) assembled by N···I X-bonds. In each cocrystal, 2(1,3-di-I-tFb)·2(2,2'-bpe) and (1,4-di-I-tFb)·(2,2'-bpe), the donor molecules support the C=C bonds of 2,2'-bpe to undergo an intermolecular [2+2] photodimerization. UV irradiation of each cocrystal resulted in stereospecific and quantitative conversion of 2,2'-bpe to rctt-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)cyclobutane (2,2'-tpcb). In each case, the reactivity occurs via face-to-face π-stacked columns wherein nearest-neighbor pairs of 2,2'-bpe molecules lie sandwiched between X-bond donor molecules. Nearest-neighbor C=C bonds are stacked criss-crossed in both cocrystals. The reactivity was ascribed to the olefins undergoing pedal-like motion in the solid state. The stereochemistry of 2,2'-tpcb is confirmed in cocrystals 2(1,3-di-I-tFb)·(2,2'-tpcb) and (1,4-di-I-tFb)·(2,2'-tpcb).

Mechanochemical Preparation of Dipyridyl-Naphthalenediimide Cocrystals: Relative Role of Halogen-Bond and π-π Interactions.

Project description:Naphthalenediimide derivates are a class of π-conjugated molecules largely investigated in the literature and used as building blocks for metal-organic frameworks or coformers for hydrogen-bond-based cocrystals. However, their tendency to establish halogen-bond interactions remains unexplored. By using a crystalline engineering approach, we report here four new cocrystals with N,N'-di(4-pyrydyl)-naphthalene-1,4,5,8-tetracarboxidiimide and diiodo-substituted coformers, easily obtained via a mechanochemical protocol. Cocrystals were characterized via NMR, electron ionization mass spectrometry, thermogravimetric analysis, powder X-ray diffraction, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic structures were then finely examined and correlated with energy framework calculations to understand the relative contribution of halogen-bond and π-π interactions toward framework stabilization.

Halogen-bonded shape memory polymers.

Project description:Halogen bonding (XB), a non-covalent interaction between an electron-deficient halogen atom and a Lewis base, is widely adopted in organic synthesis and supramolecular crystal engineering. However, the roadmap towards materials applications is hindered by the challenges in harnessing this relatively weak intermolecular interaction to devise human-commanded stimuli-responsive soft materials. Here, we report a liquid crystalline network comprising permanent covalent crosslinks and dynamic halogen bond crosslinks, which possess reversible thermo-responsive shape memory behaviour. Our findings suggest that I···N halogen bond, a paradigmatic motif in crystal engineering studies, enables temporary shape fixation at room temperature and subsequent shape recovery in response to human body temperature. We demonstrate versatile shape programming of the halogen-bonded polymer networks through human-hand operation and propose a micro-robotic injection model for complex 1D to 3D shape morphing in aqueous media at 37 °C. Through systematic structure-property-performance studies, we show the necessity of the I···N crosslinks in driving the shape memory effect. The halogen-bonded shape memory polymers expand the toolbox for the preparation of smart supramolecular constructs with tailored mechanical properties and thermoresponsive behaviour, for the needs of, e.g., future medical devices.

The Photochemical Activity of a Halogen-Bonded Complex Enables the Microfluidic Light-Driven Alkylation of Phenols.

Project description:A mild light-driven protocol for the direct alkylation of phenols is reported. The process is driven by the photochemical activity of a halogen-bonded complex formed upon complexation of the in situ generated electron-rich phenolate anion with the α-iodosulfone. The reaction proceeds rapidly (10 min) under microfluidic conditions, delivering a wide variety of ortho-alkylated products (27 examples, up to 97% yield, >20:1 regioselectivity, on a gram scale), including densely functionalized bioactive phenol derivatives.

Molecular Cocrystals with Hydrogen-Bonded Polymeric Structures and Polarized Luminescence.

Project description:Crystalline materials with appealing luminescent properties are attractive materials for various optoelectronic applications. The in situ bicomponent reaction of 1,2-ethylenedisulfonic acid with 1,4-di(pyrid-2-yl)benzene, 1,4-di(pyrid-3-yl)benzene, or 1,4-di(pyrid-4-yl)benzene affords luminescent crystals with hydrogen-bonded polymeric structures. Variations in the positions of the pyridine nitrogen atoms lead to alternating polymeric structures with either a ladder- or zigzag-type of molecular arrangement. By using a nanoprecipitation method, microcrystals of these polymeric structures are prepared, showing polarized luminescence with a moderate degree of polarization.

Evaluation of Concomitant Halogen and Pnictogen Bonds in Cocrystals of Imines Derived from 2-Nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-Haloaniline.

Project description:Three imines have been prepared by condensation of 2-nitrobenzaldehyde and 4-haloanilines (halo = Cl, Br, and I) with functionalities that enabled them to act as both halogen and pnictogen bond donors; however, both interactions were found to be absent in the solid state. The prepared imines were further cocrystallized with 1,3-diiodotetrafluorobenzene and 1,3,5-triiodotetrafluorobenzene as halogen bond donors. Six novel cocrystals were prepared by means of liquid-assisted mechanochemical synthesis and by crystallization from solution. All six cocrystals were of 1:1 stoichiometry and comprised a N···I halogen bond between an iodine atom of the perhalogenated halogen bond donor and the imino nitrogen atom of the imine acting as an acceptor. Additionally, in all six cocrystals, the imine molecules were interconnected by NO2···NO2 pnictogen bonding interactions. Computational analysis has shown that the NO2···NO2 exhibits bond critical point electron densities in the region (4.897-8.306) × 10-3 e Å-3 and interaction energies of 23.6-27.7 kJ mol-1, whereas the N···I halogen bonds generally have higher critical point electron densities ((1.795-1.937) × 10-2 e Å-3), but the corresponding total interaction energies are lower (19.4-20.4 kJ mol-1). Statistical analysis of the appearance of NO2···NO2 contacts concomitantly with halogen or hydrogen bonds seems to indicate that there is a positive correlation between the presence of NO2···NO2 pnictogen bonding interactions and other directional interactions in crystal structures.
