Enhancing and Toughening Plant Oil-Based Polymeric Materials through Synergetic Supramolecular and Covalent Interactions by Introducing Nucleobase-Functionalized Celluloses

Renewable plant oil-based polymeric materials are promising to replace current petroleum-based polymers, considering its low cost and renewability. However, weak intermolecular interaction within the plant oil-based polymeric materials usually gives...

Weak intermolecular interaction directed assembly of calix[4]arene derivatives

Dimer and tetramer structures of cone-di-formyl-calix[4]arene 16 were formed through weak intermolecular interactions.

Computational discovery of weak-intermolecular-interaction-tuning ferroelectricity/ferroelasticity of pure organic rotator–stator-type assemblies designed through a symmetry/structure-limited structure search

A symmetry/structure-limited structure search was developed to realize the successful design of a novel series of pure organic ferroelectrics.

The diversity of Zn(ii) coordination networks composed of multi-interactive ligand TPHAP−via weak intermolecular interaction

Seven types of different Zn(TPHAP) coordination networks were prepared thanks to the excellent multi-interactivity of TPHAP via weak intermolecular interactions.

X·F (X=C, N, O and S) Noncovalent Weak Intermolecular Interactions

A number of X···F (X=C, N, O and S) noncovalent weak intermolecular interaction systems of CH3-F···XO2 (X=C, N, O and S) has been investigated at B3LYP/6-311++G(d, p) computational level. A topological analysis of the electron density for the X···F (X=C, N, O and S) noncovalent weak bonds was performed using Baders theory of atom-in-molecules (AIM). The interaction content of the F···X in H3CF···CO2 complex would mainly represent more π property than others. The interaction energies data without (ΔE) and with (ΔEcp) BSSE correction showed that the stability of the four complexes of the H3CF···DB2 system increases in the order of H3CF···O3 < H3CF···NO2 < H3CF···CO2 < H3CF···SO2.
