Halogen Bonding (halogen + bonding)
Selected AbstractsEngineering functional materials by halogen bondingJOURNAL OF POLYMER SCIENCE (IN TWO SECTIONS), Issue 1 2007Pierangelo Metrangolo Abstract Engineering functional materials endowed with unprecedented properties require the exploitation of new intermolecular interactions, which can determine the characteristics of the bulk materials. The great potential of Halogen Bonding (XB), namely any noncovalent interaction involving halogens as electron acceptors, in the design of new and high-value functional materials is now emerging clearly. This Highlight will give a detailed overview on the energetic and geometric features of XB, showing how some of them are quite constant in most of the formed supramolecular complexes (e.g., the angle formed by the covalent and the noncovalent bonds around the halogen atom), while some others depend strictly on the nature of the interacting partners. Then, several specific examples of halogen-bonded supramolecular architectures, whose structural aspects as well as applications in fields as diverse as enantiomers' separation, crystal engineering, liquid crystals, natural, and synthetic receptors, will be fully described. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

In all three structures, O...I halogen-bonding interactions connect the quinolone molecules into infinite chains parallel to the unique crystallographic b axis. In (I) and (II), these molecular chains are arranged in (101) layers, via,,, stacking and C,H..., interactions, and these layers are then interlinked by C,H...O interactions. The structural fragments involved in the C,H...O interactions differ between (I) and (II), accounting for the observed difference in planarity of the quinolone moieties in the two isomorphous structures. In (III), C,H...O and C,H..., interactions form (100),molecular layers, which are crosslinked by O...I and C,H...I interactions.

Cukiernik The title compound, C12H16BrO2, is an interesting case of a simple organic molecule making use of five different types of intra- and intermolecular interactions (viz. conventional and nonconventional hydrogen bonds, and ,,,, Br...Br and Br...O contacts), all of them relevant in the molecular and crystal structure geometry. The molecules are strictly planar, with an intramolecular O,H...O hydrogen bond, and associate into two-dimensional structures parallel to (01) through two different types of halogen bonding. The planar structures, in turn, stack parallel to each other interlinked by C,H..., and ,,, contacts. Also discussed are the relevant structural features leading to the rather low melting point of the compound. [source] |
