چکیده

A new method is presented to predict which donors and acceptors form hydrogen bonds in a crystal structure, based on the statistical analysis of hydrogen bonds in the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The method is named the logit hydrogen-bonding propensity (LHP) model. The approach has a potential application in identifying both likely and unusual hydrogen bonding, which can help to rationalize stable and metastable crystalline forms, of relevance to drug development in the pharmaceutical industry. Whilst polymorph prediction techniques are widely used, the LHP model is knowledge-based and is not restricted by the computational issues of polymorph prediction, and as such may form a valuable precursor to polymorph screening. Model construction applies logistic regression, using training data obtained with a new survey method based on the CSD system. The survey categorizes the hydrogen bonds and extracts model parameter values using descriptive structural and chemical properties from three-dimensional organic crystal structures. LHP predictions from a fitted model are made using two-dimensional observables alone. In the initial cases analysed, the model is highly accurate, achieving approximately 90% correct classification of both observed hydrogen bonds and non-interacting donor-acceptor pairs. Extensive statistical validation shows the LHP model to be robust across a range of small-molecule organic crystal structures.

Consideration of C-H…O interaction in the heterocyclic organic-inorganic hybrid material: tri-prolinium12- phosphomolibdate heteropolyoxometalate

Crystallographic data analyses indicate that  three types of prolinium cations, along with two types of hydrogen  bonding,  produce and stabilize the helical structure of  triprolinium 12-phosphomolybdate. There are similarities between this organic-inorganic compound and peptides/proteins. The stronger “conventional” hydrogen bonds and the less common C-H…O attractions play critical roles in g...

Isomerism and Hydrogen Bonding in the Cis-enol Forms of 1-(n-pyridyl)butane-1,3-diones: A Theoretical Study

Molecular structure, isomerism, conformational stability and intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) of cis-enol forms of 1-(n-pyridyl)butane-1,3-diones (nPBD) (n = 2, 3, or 4) have been investigated by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Energy differences for all possible nPBD cis-enol forms of isomers with respect to the most stable form of the correspondin...

The Halogen Bond in the Design of Functional Supramolecular Materials: Recent Advances

Halogen bonding is an emerging noncovalent interaction for constructing supramolecular assemblies. Though similar to the more familiar hydrogen bonding, four primary differences between these two interactions make halogen bonding a unique tool for molecular recognition and the design of functional materials. First, halogen bonds tend to be much more directional than (single) hydrogen bonds. Sec...

Preparation and unique circular dichroism phenomena of urea-functionalized self-folding resorcinarenes bearing chiral termini through asymmetric hydrogen-bonding belts.

Chiral macrocycles with eight (R)- and (S)-methylbenzylurea residues on the resorcinarene skeleton linked through a hexyl or dodecyl spacer having amide linkages have been prepared by the reactions of the corresponding octaamine derivative with (R)- and (S)-alpha-methylbenzylisocyanate, respectively. In chloroform, the urea-functionalized resorcinarenes with hexyl spacers form intramolecular hy...
