A weak intramolecular hydrogen bond was found only in the case of ortho-substituted 2-(methylthio)benzoic acid. Supramolecular frameworks for 1 are formed by the interplay of intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, whereas for 2, intermolecular contacts form supramolecular assemblies. Intermolecular O–H⋯O interactions involving carboxyl groups form the R22(8) graph-set motif for both compounds. Theoretical DFT calculations using the B3LYP correlation functional reveal that the energy gap of HOMO–LUMO orbitals in compound 1, with the methylthio moiety in the ortho position relative to the carboxyl group, is lower than that of compound 2, with the methylthio moiety in the para position.

Therefore, the correlation between structure and properties is fundamental to discover the potential use on pharmaceutical and technological applications. In this sense, we synthesized and characterized a novel fluorinated chalcone (E)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (FCH), and compared its supramolecular arrangement and topological analysis with a chalcone (E)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(naphthalen-1-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (HCH). The molecular electrostatic potential, QTAIM, and frontier molecular orbitals of both chalcones were investigated using the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Our findings show that the FCH exhibits a herringbone packing with intermolecular interactions of C–H⋯F and C–H⋯π, while the HCH assumes a staircase packing coordinated by O–H⋯O and π⋯π intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, the electrostatic potential analysis shows that FCH is susceptible to electrophilic attack, while HCH is susceptible to nucleophilic attack. Finally, the structural basis analysis for both chalcones indicated that FCH has a higher lipophilicity than HCH due to the stronger hydrogen bond of HCH with water.","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43670307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In addition, the refractive indices of mullite containing Nd were determined by spindle-stage optical investigations. Careful inspection of the single-crystal X-ray diffraction data revealed that weak superstructure reflections observed in all doped crystals violating the reflection conditions can be attributed to λ/2 contributions in the primary X-ray beam. Consequently, all crystal structures were refined in space group Pbam, thus avoiding a symmetry lowering to a noncentrosymmetric subgroup as done in earlier work on a (Al,Ge)-mullite doped with Pb and Nd (Saalfeld & Klaska, Z. Kristallogr. 1985, 172, 129–133). The following phases with chemical compositions used in the refinements were obtained: undoped mullite (Al4.50Ge1.50O9.75; a = 7.6559(4) Å, b = 7.7763(4) Å, c = 2.9233(2) Å, V = 174.04(2) Å3); (Pb,Fe)-doped mullite (Pb0.02Fe0.68Al3.95Ge1.37O9.70; a = 7.7125(7) Å, b = 7.8527(7) Å, c = 2.9528(2) Å, V = 178.83(3) Å3); (Pb,Cr)-doped mullite (Pb0.01Cr0.63Al3.90Ge1.47O9.75; a = 7.6917(6) Å, b = 7.8168(6) Å, c = 2.9522(2) Å, V = 177.50(2) Å3); (Pb,Nd)-doped mullite (Pb0.06Nd0.02Al4.82Ge1.18O9.69; a = 7.6585(7) Å, b = 7.7666(7) Å, c = 2.9164(3) Å, V = 173.47(3) Å3); (Pb,Sm)-doped mullite (Pb0.06Sm0.02Al4.55Ge1.45O9.79; a = 7.6563(3) Å, b = 7.7873(3) Å, c = 2.9236(1) Å, V = 174.31(1) Å3); Pb is only incorporated into the crystal structure when a co-dopant element is present. Then it resides together with Nd or Sm in the oxygen-vacancy sites created by the formation of triclusters of AlO4 and GeO4 tetrahedra. In the case of (Pb,Fe)-doped mullite, Fe shares the same position as Al and Ge. In contrast to the (Al,Si)-mullites, Ge is located in both tetrahedral sites T and T*. The occupancies follow a substitution scheme according to Pb q (Nd,Sm) r (Cr,Fe) z Al4+2v−zGe2−2vO10−v+q+3/2r. With v = number of vacancies, such a mullite can be understood as a “stuffed mullite” derived from a related “open mullite” (no vacancies filled with large cations) of composition (Cr,Fe) z Al4+2v−zGe2−2vO10−v and then “stuffed” with qPb2+ + r(Nd3+,Sm3+) formula units where concurrently the number of available O3-vacancies is reduced by q + 3/2r units of extra oxygen. Thus, charge compensation upon incorporation of Pb2+ and (Nd,Sm)3+ is achieved by adding the amount of oxygen corresponding to the oxidation state of divalent Pb2+ and trivalent rare-earth elements. Based on this description, the maximum number of large cations which can be stuffed into the mullite structure can directly be calculated from the v-value of the related “open mullite”. In contrast, the smaller cations Fe3+ and Cr3+ are directly substituting Al3+.

Up to today, binary amalgams of this type have been described for M = Na, Ca, Sr, Eu, Yb, and the structure family still is growing. Yb11Hg54 is the only representative with a fully ordered crystal structure, and all other representatives exhibit individual disorder phenomena or patterns. The diversity of disorder phenomena in this structural family is unique. In order to shed a light on the underlying reasons for this unexpected structural complexity, we compare the available literature structure models with three new ternary variants, Yb10.7Sr0.3Hg54, Ca4.5Eu6.5Hg54 and Ca6.9Na4.1Hg54 (all in space group type P 6 ‾ $Poverline{6}$ , a = 13.5379(12), 13.5406(8) and 13.564(5) Å, c = 9.7488(14), 9.7149 and 9.810(7) Å for Yb10.7Sr0.3Hg54, Ca4.5Eu6.5Hg54 and Ca6.9Na4.1Hg54, respectively). Their crystal structures have been examined in detail on the basis of both single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction data. Each of the three new amalgams exhibits its own set of disorder phenomena that is again different from those of the respective binary variants. The synopsis of the crystal structures and their individual disorder phenomena indicates that the reason for the disorder phenomena cannot be found only by analyzing geometric details such as atomic radii quotients or coordination polyhedral volumina, and additional electronic reasons must be assumed.","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":"238 1","pages":"187 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44262041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
