Charge density analysis for crystal engineering

Abstract: This review reports on the application of charge density analysis in the field of crystal engineering, which is one of the most growing and productive areas of the entire field of crystallography.While methods to calculate or measure electron density are not discussed in detail, the derived quantities and tools, useful for crystal engineering analyses, are presented and their applications in the recent literature are illustrated. Potential developments and future perspectives are also highlighted and criticall… Show more

“…Electronic charge density is connected with X-ray diffraction and provides a detailed picture of the electronic distribution and bond nature in the complexes. [29,30] Magnetic anisotropy calculations on single crystals of ferrocene result dπ-pπ metal-to-ring single covalent bonding. Overlap between the pπ orbitals of the rings and the d orbitals in iron construct two covalent bonds between the iron atom and the two nearly parallel rings.…”

“…This is of importance for both advanced materials with applications as sensors and for gas storage, and more fundamentally for its role in interactions between small molecules and proteins and molecular self‐assembly at the nanoscale . The literature on ED related to intermolecular interactions and crystal engineering is large, and we will therefore focus on host–guest structures with relation to storage or sensing of molecules. In these materials, especially calculations of the electrostatic potential (EP) and electric field (EF) in void spaces based on the MM are of great interest as in the example of the coordination polymer above, since it directly relates to the inclusion properties.…”

“…To conclude this section, ED based techniques can be used to obtain understanding of optical properties in organic molecules both through estimates of these properties based on X‐ray diffraction data, and through distributed atomic polarizabilities, which project a physical property onto the QTAIM framework to obtain understanding for rational design and crystal engineering of optical materials . One important note regarding the atomic polarizabilities is that they are based purely on theoretical calculations, but they can—in principle—be measured by diffraction in the absence and presence of an applied electric field, which is, however, experimentally very challenging even for structure determination …”

“…"A densidade eletrônica (DE, ρ(r)) é um observável mecânico-quântico, que pode ser medido, por exemplo, mediante experimentos de dispersão, em particular da difração de raios X em monocristais". 46 A densidade eletrônica em compostos moleculares representa a distribuição eletrônica de átomos em torno das posições de equilíbrio, as ligações químicas, como também ao redor das interações intra e intermoleculares.…”
