Thermal Behavior of Benzoic Acid/Isonicotinamide Binary Cocrystals
YesA comprehensive study of the thermal behavior of the 1:1 and 2:1 benzoic acid/isonicotinamide cocrystals is reported. The 1:1 material shows a simple unit cell expansion followed by melting upon heating. The 2:1 crystal exhibits more complex behavior. Its unit cell first expands upon heating, as a result of CâHÂ·Â·Â·Ï interactions being lengthened. It then is converted into the 1:1 crystal, as demonstrated by significant changes in its X-ray diffraction pattern. The loss of 1 equiv of benzoic acid is confirmed by thermogravimetric analysisâmass spectrometry. Hot stage microscopy confirms that, as intuitively expected, the transformation begins at the crystal surface. The temperature at which conversion occurs is highly dependent on the sample mass and geometry, being reduced when the sample is under a gas flow or has a greater exposed surface area but increased when the heating rate is elevated
Proton Transfer, Hydrogen Bonding, and Disorder: Nitrogen Near-Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Bipyridine-Acid Salts and Co-crystals
The sensitivity of near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to BrĂžnsted donation and the protonation state of nitrogen in the solid state is investigated through a series of multicomponent bipyridineâacid systems alongside X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data. A large shift to high energy occurs for the 1s â 1Ï* resonance in the nitrogen K-edge NEXAFS with proton transfer from the acid to the bipyridine base molecule and allows assignment as a salt (CâNH+), with the peak ratio providing the stoichiometry of the types of nitrogen species present. A corresponding binding energy shift for CâNH+ is observed in the nitrogen XPS, clearly identifying protonation and formation of a salt. The similar magnitude shifts observed with both techniques relative to the unprotonated nitrogen of co-crystals (CâN) suggest that the chemical state (initial-state) effects dominate. Results from both techniques reveal the sensitivity to identify proton transfer, hydrogen bond disorder, and even the potential to distinguish variations in hydrogen bond length to nitrogen
A robust binary supramolecular organic framework (SOF) with high CO2 adsorption and selectivity
A robust binary hydrogen-bonded supramolecular organic framework (SOF-7) has been synthesized by solvothermal reaction of 1,4-bis-(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6 dipyridyl)dihydropyridyl)benzene (1) and 5,5â-bis-(azanediyl)-oxalyl-diisophthalic acid (2). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that SOF-7 comprises 2 and 1,4-bis-(4-(3,5-dicyano-2,6-dipyridyl)pyridyl)benzene (3), the latter formed in situ from the oxidative dehydrogenation of 1. SOF-7 shows a three-dimensional four-fold interpenetrat-ed structure with complementary OâH···N hydrogen bonds to form channels that are decorated with cyano- and amide-groups. SOF-7 exhibits excellent thermal stability and sol-vent and moisture durability, as well as permanent porosity. The activated desolvated material SOF-7a shows high CO2 sorption capacity and selectivity compared with other po-rous organic materials assembled solely through hydrogen bonding
The influence of CH bond polarization on the self-association of 2-acylaminopyrimidines by NH/CH···O/N interactions: XRD, NMR, DFT, and AIM study
Crystal structure of tri-aqua-(pyridine-4-carboxamide-N)cop per(II)2,7- naphthalenedisulfonate trihydrate, [Cu(H2O)3(C6H6N2O)2](C10H6O6S2)·3H2O, C22H30CuN4O14S2
Tuning proton behavior in a ternary molecular complex.
noThe multicomponent ternary complex of 4-dimethylaminobenzoic acid (4-DABA), 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid
(3,5-DNBA), and 4,40-bipyridine (BIPY) has been studied by variable temperature X-ray and neutron diffraction. Proton disorder is
observed within the 4-DABA homodimers present and quantitatively evaluated from neutron data. The effect of the crystal
environment and in particular the pyramidalization of the nitrogen atom within the 4-DABA molecule and the consequential
effect on the presence of hydrogen atom disorder are discussed with reference to the previously determined pure 4-DABA
structure and the binary cocrystal with 3,5-DNBA
