We report the findings of a supersonic beam investigation of the 1:1 gas phase complexes of indole with various halomethanes. The unique environment of the supersonic jet provides a method by which the pairwise intermolecular interactions of these complexes can be studied without the complications of condensed media effects. The behavior of argon and methane van der Waals molecules is described first in order to provide examples of simple dispersive interactions. These are then contrasted with complexing species such as CF4 and CCl4 where repulsive interactions offset the stabilization due to dispersive and dipole – induced dipole forces. Finally, we show that the interaction between the probe molecule and CHCl3 and CH2Cl2 is apparently hydrogen bonding with the indole π electronic system. The implications of these intermolecular interactions on the area of general anesthesia are discussed in terms of a picture in which both the hydrophobic and polar portions of cell membrane may be reversibly affected.

Diverse Interactions

The tetraphenylphosphonium squarate salt crystallizes with a number of diverse interactions, which all have the potential to be classified as hydrogen bonds. The squarate anions are found as dimers linked by O-H···O interactions. The multipole refinement of the tetraphenylphosphonium squarate was performed using the Hansen–Coppens model followed by topological analysis of its intermolecular interactions. A total of 28 interactions were found among the symmetry related molecules, which include a number of C-H···Cπ, C-H···O, and C-H···H-C interactions, along with the O-H···O interaction. With the criteria for hydrogen bonding proposed by Popelier and Koch, it is possible to determine which of these interactions are hydrogen bonds and which are van der Waals interactions. Both linear and exponentially dependent correlations can be seen for the properties of the bond critical points involving the intermolecular interactions that fulfill these criteria. All this leads to a better understanding of the role that hydrogen bonds play in the formation of small organic compounds.Key words: electron density, multiple refinement, hydrogen bonds.

Recently Urban (Br. J. Anaesth. 2002, 89, 167) and Trudell (Br. J. Anaesth. 2002, 89, 32) assessed the present state of the art in anesthesiological research. This article is an attempt to add to the discussion some ideas from the chemist's point of view. General anesthesia is a matter of molecular associations. Among the intermolecular interactions that can be involved, weak hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces are believed to be most important. A pluralistic view is proposed, thereby different anesthetics can choose different interactions in conformity with their chemical structure. This can involve proteins, lipids, and sugars. Special attention is given to glycoproteins and glycosphingolipids. A review with 90 references.

The pyrimidine⋯NH3 complex exists as just a single double hydrogen-bonded structure in the gas phase with the ammonia favouring a position which shields it from repulsive interactions with the more remote ring-nitrogen.

AbstractWe have developed a new laser source, for the spectroscopy of nonvolatile molecules in gas phase. It is based on a laser induced liquid bead ion desorption source (LILBID) combined with a supersonic beam. The cold molecules produced with this technique are sampled with Resonant Two Photon Ionization spectroscopy (R2PI) to measurement of the gas phase optical spectra. LILBID allows to bring nonvolatile molecule from liquid phase (out of a droplet) into gas phase, by means of multi photon ablation with IR photons exciting the vibrations of the solvent. Phenol and its different water clusters have been used as an example to demonstrate the method and to standardise the new experimental setup. The recorded R2PI spectral data of phenol monomer and its different water clusters obtained from this laser desorption technique are in very good agreement with the previously published data. This technique opens a new door for the measurement of molecules under microsolvation and potentially for

Phenyl Rings

In the title 3-azabicyclononane derivative, C22H22N2, both the fused piperidine and cyclohexane rings adopt a chair conformation. The phenyl rings attached to the central azabicylononane fragment in an equatorial orientation are inclined to each other at 23.7 (1)°. The amino group is not involved in any hydrogen bonding, so the crystal packing is stabilized only by van der Waals forces.

The trischelate [Cr(H2biim)3](NO3)3 complex of 2,2′-biimidazole (H2biim) was obtained by reacting CrCl3·3THF with [Ag(H2biim)](NO3) in methanol. In the solvent-free material, each ligand forms two N-H···O bonds to a nitrate ion and generates locally neutral [Cr(H2biim)3](NO3)3 units. A methanol solvate was also obtained in which intermolecular interactions involve optimal use of the hydrogen-bonding ability of the [Cr(H2biim)3]3+ cations, NO3– anions, and methanol molecules. In both cases, there is no long-range regular organization of the complex units. Deprotonation of [Cr(H2biim)3](NO3)3 with NaOCH3 yielded neutral Cr(Hbiim)3. Its powder pattern is similar to that of Ru(Hbiim)3, suggesting that it also consists of mutually perpendicular interlocked honeycomb sheets. Recrystallization by slow diffusion of diisopropyl ether into a methanol solution yielded a porous material of composition Cr(Hbiim)3·2.6C6H14O in which superposed honeycomb sheets create infinite channels (~13 Å diameter) filled with disordered solvent molecules. A totally different structure is adopted by the solvate Cr(Hbiim)3·C6H6·2H2O, where the benzene molecule is encapsulated in a cavity created by five complex molecules.Key words: chromium, biimidazole, supramolecular, crystal structure, hydrogen bonding.
