Abstract Two annulated triazapentadiene systems, viz. 1,3,5,7,9-pentaazanona-1,3,6,8-tetraenate chloride complexes of PtII, form CCl4 solvates, containing the Cl3C–Cl···Cl–Pt halogen bonds. These halogen bonds are firstly reported type of Cl3C–Cl···Cl–M contacts. In the X-ray structures of two solvates different non-covalent interactions were detected and studied by DFT calculations and topological analysis of the electron density distribution within the framework of QTAIM method at the M06/DZP-DKH level of theory. Estimated energies of these supramolecular contacts vary from 0.6 to 2.4 kcal/mol.

Bond energy is the main characteristic of chemical bonds in general and of non-covalent interactions in particular. Simple methods of express estimates of the interaction energy, Eint, using relationships between Eint and a property which is easily accessible from experiment is of great importance for the characterization of non-covalent interactions. In this work, practically important relationships between Eint and electron density, its Laplacian, curvature, potential, kinetic, and total energy densities at the bond critical point as well as bond length were derived for the structures of the [Z–I···Hal]– and [Z–Hal···I]– types bearing halogen bonds and involving iodine as interacting atom(s) (totally 412 structures). The mean absolute deviations for the correlations found were 2.06–4.76 kcal/mol.

Hydrogen bond donor catalysis represents a rapidly growing subfield of organocatalysis. While traditional hydrogen bond donors containing N–H and O–H moieties have been effectively used for electrophile activation, activation based on other types of non-covalent interactions is less common. This mini review highlights recent progress in developing and exploring new organic catalysts for electrophile activation through the formation of C–H hydrogen bonds and C–X halogen bonds.

This article describes some highlights of the research which has been carried out in my laboratory at the University of Ottawa over the period covering 2005 to 2014. My research is in the general areas of solid-state NMR, applications of quantum chemistry, and biomolecular NMR. The format will follow that of my 2014 Canadian Society for Chemistry Keith Laidler Award presentation given in Vancouver in June 2014 at the 97th Canadian Chemistry Conference and Exhibition. Following a brief introduction, I will present some of our most interesting and exciting recent advances according to the following six themes: 1. Fundamental solid-state NMR. 2. Materials characterization and NMR crystallography. 3. Pharmaceuticals and polymorphism. 4. Non-covalent interactions: Halogen bonds. 5. Biomolecular NMR. 6. Software development.

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals a series of phosphorescent cocrystals which were assembled by 1,4-diiodotetrafluorobenzene (1,4-DITFB) and either 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DMPhe), 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (DPPhe) or 4,7-dichloro-1,10-phenanthroline (DClPhe)viaC—I...N halogen bonding. These cocrystals, labeled (1), (2) and (3), respectively, are phosphorescent and a distinct change in phosphorescent color can be observed from orange–yellow, green to yellow–green, with well defined vibrational band maxima at 587, 520 and 611 nm for (1), (2) and (3). Based on the dependence of halogen bonding in sites and strength, we discussed the impact of substituents with different electron-withdrawing effects and steric hindrance on intermolecular noncovalent interactions and phosphorescence. The method of inducing and modulating phosphorescence by halogen bonding and other weak non-covalent interactions through changing the substituent groups of molecules should be significant in both theory and the application of optical function materials with predictable and modulated luminescent properties.

<div>The influence of the halogen substituent on crystal packing and redox properties is investigated in a series of heteroleptic complexes [Fe(qsal-X)(dipic)]MeOH (qsal-X = 4-halogen-2-[(8-quinolylimino)methyl]phenolate; dipic = 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylate; X = F 1, Cl 2, Br 3 and I 4).</div><div>Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit triclinic symmetry (P1̅), whereas 3 and 4 crystallise in monoclinic P21/n. The crystal packing shows self-sorting of the ligands with - interactions between the qsal-X ligands and overlap of the dipic ligands to form a 1D chain, that is supported by C-H···O interactions. In 1 and 2, the cross-section of the 1D chain is square, while for 3 and 4, it is rectangular. In the former, the dipic ligands interact through C=O··· interactions, while - interactions are found in 3 and 4. Neighbouring chains are connected via - interactions involving the quinoline rings, but their relative position is driven by the preference of 1 and 2, for C-H···X interactions, whereas 3 and 4 form O···X halogen bonds. The nature and topology of the electron density of these interactions have been investigated using molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) mapping, quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and ‘non-covalent interactions’ (NCI) analysis. UV-Visible experiments show MLCT bands associated with the qsal-X ligands, confirming the structure is stable in solution. Electrochemical studies reveal slight tuning of the Fe3+/Fe2+ redox couple showing a linear relationship between E° and the Hammett parameter σp.</div><div><br></div>

AbstractThis article is a personal, chronological account of experimental work carried out on the hydrogen bond, the halogen bond and other non-covalent interactions by my research group using (mainly) rotational spectroscopy since 1974. It is not intended to be comprehensive, and therefore does not include contributions made by many groups in the last 40 years or so.

The odd-electron halogen bond offers a fertile ground to explore the nature of non-covalent interactions. The regioselectivity, interaction energy and its components were analyzed by conceptual DFT parameters, NCI plot and LED-DLPNO-CCSD(T) analysis.
