AbstractThe interplay between two important noncovalent interactions involving different aromatic rings is studied by means of ab initio calculations (MP2/6-31++G**) computing the non-additivity energies. In this study we demonstrate the existence of cooperativity effects when cation-π and lone pair-π interactions coexist in the same system. These effects are studied theoretically using energetic and geometric features of the complexes. In addition we use Bader’s theory of atoms-in-molecules and Molecular Interaction Potential with polarization (MIPp) partition scheme to characterize the interactions. Experimental evidence for this combination of interactions has been obtained from the Cambridge Structural Database.

In order to obtain a deeper insight into the title effect, several compounds with an F atom very close to a C-H of a nearby functional group were synthesized and the relevant couplings measured. The most conspicuous case was that of 8-fluoro-2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde where a close proximity between the F and H atoms is the result of fluorine-oxygen repulsion and the formation of an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups. The experimental four-bond J(F,CHO) coupling is 26.2 Hz. A compound very similar to this one, but without the OH group, was chosen on which to perform a polarization propagator analysis of the through-space (TS) coupling pathways, at the RPA-INDO level. The expression for the TS coupling in terms of the projected polarization propagator and perturbators was numerically analysed. It is found that this coupling is completely dominated by a TS component of the Fermi contact (FC) term, the main features of which are: ( i ) It decays exponentially with the F-H distance; (ii) Its main contribution comes from an electron excitation involving the F lone-pair, the C-H bond of the CHO moiety and its corresponding antibonding orbital;(iii) The π-type lone-pair does not contribute to the TS coupling pathway of the FC term.

The structure of the polymeric title compound, {[Zn2(C20H11NO4)2(C3H7NO)2(CH3OH)]·C3H7NO}n, comprises carbazolylisophthalate moieties connecting dimetallic tetracarboxylate zinc secondary building units (SBUs) parallel to [100] and [010], leading to a layer-like arrangement parallel to (001). Each SBU consists of two Zn atoms in slightly distorted tetrahedral and octahedral coordination environments [Zn...Zn = 3.5953 (6) Å]. Three carboxylate groups bridge the two Zn atoms in a μ2-O:O′ mode, whereas the fourth coordinates through a single carboxylate O atom (μ1-O). The O atoms of two dimethylformamide (DMF) and one methanol molecule complete the Zn coordination spheres. The methanol ligand interacts with the noncoordinating DMF moleculeviaan O—H...O hydrogen bond of medium strength. Carbazoles between the layers interdigitate through weak C—H....π interactions to form a laminar solid stacked along [010]. Two kinds of C—H...π interactions are present, both with a distance of 2.64 Å, between the H atoms and the centroids, and a third C—H...π interaction, where the aromatic H atom is located above the carbazole N-atom lone pair (H...N = 2.89 Å). Several C—H...O interactions occur between the coordinating DMF molecule, the DMF solvent molecule, and ligating carboxylate O atoms.
