Guided by computational studies, the involvement of non-classical C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions were found to be crucial for high stereocontrol in a chiral phosphoric acid-catalyzed reaction.

Building from tryptophan to the tryptophan-containing HIV Nucleocapsid 7 (HIVNCp7) protein we combine biophysical and computational studies to enhance stacking interactions of purines through platination. The incorporation into a weak Lewis acid electrophile, [Pt(dien)(Nucleobase)]2+ may lead to disruption of the HIVNCp7-RNA interaction.

Two azaphenanthrenes were synthesised by a facile synthetic pathway and characterised by X-ray crystallography. Molecular packing of 4-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-methoxy-5,6-dihydrobenzo[ h]quinoline-3-carbonitrile exhibits C–H…N and C–H…Cl hydrogen bonds in addition to intermolecular C–H…π, Cl…π and π…π (π-ring) stacking interactions. However, molecules of the 2-ethoxy derivative are linked into chains by one hydrogen bond of the C–H…N type and the crystal structure reveals an intermolecular C–H…π (π-ring) interaction. Computational studies by AM1, PM3, and density functional theory (DFT) techniques provide good approximations to the experimental X-ray data. The root mean square errors between the experimental and calculated bond lengths using AM1, PM3 and DFT methods for the 2-methoxy and 2-ethoxy derivatives are 0.0187, 0.0193, 0.0120 and 0.0197, 0.0195 and 0.0116 respectively.

The title compound, C11H9F3N4S, was synthesized from 2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline by a multi-step reaction. It crystallizes in the non-centrosymmetric space group Pna21, with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, and is constructed from a pair of aromatic rings [2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl and tetrazole], which are twisted by 76.8 (1)° relative to each other because of significant steric hindrance of the trifluoromethyl group at the ortho position of the benzene ring. In the crystal, very weak C—H...N and C—H...F hydrogen bonds and aromatic π–π stacking interactions link the molecules into a three-dimensional network. To further analyse the intermolecular interactions, a Hirshfeld surface analysis, as well as interaction energy calculations, were performed.
