As an exercise in crystal engineering, low-temperature X-ray structures were determined for six rationally designed ionic solids of general formula BH+(MeSO2)2N−, where BH+ is 2-aminopyridinium (2, monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4), 2-aminopyrimidinium (3, orthorhombic, Pbca, Z = 8), 2-aminothiazolium (4, orthorhombic, Pbcn, Z = 8), 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium (5, solvated with 0.5 H20, monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 8), 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazolium (6, triclinic, P1̄, Z = 2), or 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidinium (7, orthorhombic. Fdd2, Z = 16). The onium cations in question exhibit a trifunctional hydrogen-bond donor sequence H − N (H*)-C (sp2) − N − H , which is complementary to an O − S (sp3)−N fragment of the anion and simultaneously expected to form a third hydrogen bond via the exocyclic N − H* donor. Consequently, all the crystal packings contain cation-anion pairs assembled by an N − H ∙∙∙ N and an N −H ∙∙∙ O hydrogen bond, these substructures being mutually associated through an N − H* ∙∙∙ O bond. For the robust eight-membered ring synthon within the ion pairs [graph set N2 = R22(8), antidromic], two supramolecular isomers were observed: In 2 and 3, N − H ∙∙∙ N originates from the ring NH donor and N − H ∙∙∙ O from the exocyclic amino group, whereas in 4-7 these connectivities are reversed. The third hydrogen bond, N − H*∙∙∙ O , leads either to chains of ion pairs (generated by a 21 transformation in 2-4 or by a glide plane in 5) or to cyclic dimers of ion pairs (Ci symmetric in 6, C2-symmetric in 7). The overall variety of motifs observed in a small number of structures reflects the limits imposed on the prediction of hydrogen bonding patterns. Owing to the excess of potential acceptors over traditional hydrogen-bond donors, several of the structures display prominent non-classical secondary bonding. Thus, the cyclodimeric units of 6 are associated into strands through short antiparallel O ∙∙∙ S(cation) interactions. In the hemihydrate 5, two independent C-H(cation) ∙∙∙ O bonds generate a second antidromic R22(8) pattern, leading to sheets composed of N − H ∙∙∙ N/O connected catemers; the water molecules are alternately sandwiched between and O - H ∙∙∙ O bonded to the sheets to form bilayers, which are cross-linked by a third C − H (cation ) ∙∙∙ O contact. The roof-shaped cyclodimers occurring in 7 occupy the polar C2 axes parallel to z and build up hollow Car− H ∙∙∙ O bonded tetrahedral lattices; in order to fill their large empty cavities, five translationally equivalent lattices mutually interpenetrate.

Doubly and triply hydrogen-bonded supramolecular synthons are of particular interest for the rational design of crystal and cocrystal structures in crystal engineering since they show a high robustness due to their high stability and good reliability. The compound 5-methyl-2-thiouracil (2-thiothymine) contains an ADA hydrogen-bonding site (A = acceptor and D = donor) if the S atom is considered as an acceptor. We report herein the results of cocrystallization experiments with the coformers 2,4-diaminopyrimidine, 2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine, 6-amino-3H-isocytosine and melamine, which contain complementary DAD hydrogen-bonding sites and, therefore, should be capable of forming a mixed ADA–DAD N—H...S/N—H...N/N—H...O synthon (denoted synthon 3s N·S;N·N;N·O), consisting of three different hydrogen bonds with 5-methyl-2-thiouracil. The experiments yielded one cocrystal and five solvated cocrystals, namely 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–2,4-diaminopyrimidine (1/2), C5H6N2OS·2C4H6N4, (I), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–2,4-diaminopyrimidine–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/2/1), 2C5H6N2OS·2C4H6N4·C3H7NO, (II), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–2,4-diamino-6-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/2/1), 2C5H6N2OS·2C9H9N5·C3H7NO, (III), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–6-amino-3H-isocytosine–N,N-dimethylformamide (2/2/1), (IV), 2C5H6N2OS·2C4H6N4O·C3H7NO, (IV), 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–6-amino-3H-isocytosine–N,N-dimethylacetamide (2/2/1), 2C5H6N2OS·2C4H6N4O·C4H9NO, (V), and 5-methyl-2-thiouracil–melamine (3/2), 3C5H6N2OS·2C3H6N6, (VI). Synthon 3s N·S;N·N;N·O was formed in three structures in which two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded networks are observed, while doubly hydrogen-bonded interactions were formed instead in the remaining three cocrystals whereby three-dimensional networks are preferred. As desired, the S atoms are involved in hydrogen-bonding interactions in all six structures, thus illustrating the ability of sulfur to act as a hydrogen-bond acceptor and, therefore, its value for application in crystal engineering.

We present new dispersion and hydrogen bond corrections to the PM6 method, PM6-D3H+, and its implementation in the GAMESS program. The method combines the DFT-D3 dispersion correction by Grimme et al with a modified version of the H+ hydrogen bond correction by Korth. Overall, the interaction energy of PM6-D3H+ is very similar to PM6-DH2 and PM6-DH+, with RMSD and MAD values within 0.02 kcal/mol of one another. The main difference is that the geometry optimizations of 88 complexes result in 82, 6, 0, and 0 geometries with 0, 1, 2, and $\ge$ 3 imaginary frequencies using PM6-D3H+ implemented in GAMESS, while the corresponding numbers for PM6-DH+ implemented in MOPAC are 54, 17, 15, and 2. The PM6-D3H+ method as implemented in GAMESS offers an attractive alternative to PM6-DH+ in MOPAC in cases where the LBFGS optimizer must be used and a vibrational analysis is needed, e.g. when computing vibrational free energies. While the GAMESS implementation is up to 10 times slower for geometry optimizations of proteins in bulk solvent, compared to MOPAC, it is sufficiently fast to make geometry optimizations of small proteins practically feasible.

In recent years there has been considerable interest in chalcogen and hydrogen bonding involving Se atoms, but a general understanding of their nature and behaviour has yet to emerge. In the present work, the hydrogen-bonding ability and nature of Se atoms in selenourea derivatives, selenoamides and selones has been explored using analysis of the Cambridge Structural Database andab initiocalculations. In the CSD there are 70 C=Se structures forming hydrogen bonds, all of them selenourea derivatives or selenoamides. Analysis of intramolecular geometries andab initiopartial charges show that this bonding stems from resonance-induced Cδ+=Seδ−dipoles, much like hydrogen bonding to C=S acceptors. C=Se acceptors are in many respects similar to C=S acceptors, with similar vdW-normalized hydrogen-bond lengths and calculated interaction strengths. The similarity between the C=S and C=Se acceptors for hydrogen bonding should inform and guide the use of C=Se in crystal engineering.

The understanding of intermolecular interactions is a key objective of crystal engineering in order to exploit the derived knowledge for the rational design of new molecular solids with tailored physical and chemical properties. The tools and theories of crystal engineering are indispensable for the rational design of (pharmaceutical) cocrystals. The results of cocrystallization experiments of the antithyroid drug 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) with 2,4-diaminopyrimidine (DAPY), and of 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil (MOMTU) with DAPY and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TAPY), respectively, are reported. PTU and MOMTU show a high structural similarity and differ only in the replacement of a methylene group (–CH2–) with an O atom in the side chain, thus introducing an additional hydrogen-bond acceptor in MOMTU. Both molecules contain anADAhydrogen-bonding site (A= acceptor andD= donor), while the coformers DAPY and TAPY both show complementaryDADsites and therefore should be capable of forming a mixedADA/DADsynthon with each other,i.e. N—H...O, N—H...N and N—H...S hydrogen bonds. The experiments yielded one solvated cocrystal salt of PTU with DAPY, four different solvates of MOMTU, one ionic cocrystal of MOMTU with DAPY and one cocrystal salt of MOMTU with TAPY, namely 2,4-diaminopyrimidinium 6-propyl-2-thiouracilate–2,4-diaminopyrimidine–N,N-dimethylacetamide–water (1/1/1/1) (the systematic name for 6-propyl-2-thiouracilate is 6-oxo-4-propyl-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ide), C4H7N4+·C7H9N2OS−·C4H6N4·C4H9NO·H2O, (I), 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylformamide (1/1), C6H8N2O2S·C3H7NO, (II), 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil–N,N-dimethylacetamide (1/1), C6H8N2O2S·C4H9NO, (III), 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil–dimethyl sulfoxide (1/1), C6H8N2O2S·C2H6OS, (IV), 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil–1-methylpyrrolidin-2-one (1/1), C6H8N2O2S·C5H9NO, (V), 2,4-diaminopyrimidinium 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracilate (the systematic name for 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracilate is 4-methoxymethyl-6-oxo-2-sulfanylidene-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ide), C4H7N4+·C6H7N2O2S−, (VI), and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidinium 6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracilate–6-methoxymethyl-2-thiouracil (1/1), C4H8N5+·C6H7N2O2S−·C6H8N2O2S, (VII). Whereas in (I) only anAA/DDhydrogen-bonding interaction was formed, the structures of (VI) and (VII) both display the desiredADA/DADsynthon. Conformational studies on the side chains of PTU and MOMTU also revealed a significant deviation for cocrystals (VI) and (VII), leading to the desired enhancement of the hydrogen-bond pattern within the crystal.

Halogen bonding is one of the most interesting noncovalent attractions capable of self-assembly and recognition processes in both solution and solid phase. In this contribution, we report on the formation of two solvates of tetrabromoterephthalic acid (H2Br4tp) with acetonitrile (MeCN) and methanol (MeOH) viz. H2Br4tp·2MeCN (1MeCN) and H2Br4tp·2MeOH (2MeOH). The host structures of both 1MeCN and 2MeOH are assembled via the occurrence of simultaneous Br···Br, Br···O, and Br···π halogen bonding interactions, existing between the H2Br4tp molecular tectons. Among them, the cooperative effect of the dominant halogen bond in combination with hydrogen bonding interactions gave rise to different supramolecular assemblies, whereas the strength of the halogen bond depends on the type of hydrogen bond between the molecules of H2Br4tp and the solvents. These materials show a reversible release/resorption of solvent molecules accompanied by evident crystallographic phase transitions.

Four heteroleptic ruthenium(ii) complexes of 4′-functionalised 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine are reported, along with their solid-state single-crystal X-ray structures. The complexes feature complementary hydrogen-bond donor (phenol) and acceptor (pyridyl) groups designed to assemble into one-dimensional polymers. In one example, the system obeys the programmed instructions to form a one-dimensional, self-complementary hydrogen-bonded polymer. In one other example, a water-bridged hydrogen-bonded polymer is formed. In the remaining two structures, aryl–aryl interactions dominate the intermolecular interactions, and outweigh the contribution of intermolecular hydrogen bonding.
