CH/π Interaction in the Crystal Structure of Organic Compounds. A Database Study

Abstract: The CH/π interaction is a weak molecular force occurring between CH groups and π-groups. A study was carried out by use of the Cambridge Structural Database in order to obtain insights into the nature of the CH/π interaction and to examine its role in the crystal packing. The proportion of organic molecules bearing at least one CH/π interaction in their crystal structures has been found considerable. The CH hydrogen atoms tend to point toward the center of the aromatic ring. A number of short CH/π distances ha… Show more

“…[1][2][3] In spite of their weakness, non-classical hydrogen bonds have been frequently invoked in systems from macromolecules to biomolecules to explain physical and chemical properties such as crystal structures, conformations, and reactivity. 1,2,4 The detailed nature of such interactions remains insufficiently understood, and may include aspects such as charge transfer contributions from the π system to C-H antibonding orbitals, as well as London dispersion. [5][6][7][8] Deeper understanding will benefit from quantitative characterization of systems such as the bimolecular complexes presented here.…”

“…9. Among these are van der Waals complexes M·S of aromatic chromophores M such as benzene, 10 paradifluorobenzene, 11,12 phenol, 13 anisole, 14 indole, 15 dibenzop-dioxin, 16 and carbazole [17][18][19] with noble gases (S = Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe), or small closed-shell molecules (S = N 2 , CO, CH 4 ). 19 In these cases, linear correlation of D 0 (S 0 ) with the polarizability of the S atom or molecule was observed, as expected from London dispersion theory.…”

“…3). Although the intramolecular multiple (C)H· · ·C contacts of about 3.3 Å are longer than those (up to 3.2 Å) described by Nishio et al, 23) they could prevent free rotation of the bulky trityl and tert-butyl substituents. It is worth noting that the recent detailed calculations of intermol- (1) 3443 (5) Ϫ1870 (3) 1600 (2) 45 (1) C (3) 4246 (6) Ϫ1513 (3) 2143 (2) 46 (1) O (2) 3694 (4) Ϫ1449 (3) 2619 (2) 64 (1) O (1) 5631 (4) Ϫ1278 (2) 1993 (2) 51 (1) C (4) 6635 (6) Ϫ785 (4) 2404 (3) 59 (2) C (41) 6953 (7) Ϫ1345 (4) 2943 (3) 74 (2) C (42) 8028 (7) Ϫ668 (5) 2032 (3) 93 (2) C (43) 5944 (8) 117 (4) 2553 (3) 81 (2) N (1) 2045 (5) Ϫ2251 (3) 1777 (2) 50 (1) C (5) 1308 (6) Ϫ2822 (4) 1417 (3) 57 (1) O (4) 1804 (5) Ϫ3146 (3) 976 (2) 93 (2) …”

“…This arrangement is frequently observed for the self association of 3-carboxycoumarins. 13 The A-A´ π-assembly formed ( Figure 3a), is also associated through C6⎯H···Ph interactions 19 ( Table 1). The angle between the phenethyl and coumarin ring mean planes is close to 93º providing the length and flexibility required for this interaction to occur.…”

“…The acceptors 2a and 2b, bearing a pendant phenethyl or benzyl group, are self associated through T-shaped interactions 19 or through Ph-Ph π-stacking interactions, respectively, thereby favoring the alternated D-A-A'-D' π-stacking pattern observed in complexes 3 and 4. In contrast, the alternated D-A π-stacking pattern is exhibited by complex 5, in which the possibility intermolecular H-bonding of 2c is missing.…”
