Item FT-TR, UV-VISIBLE AND X-RAY STUDIES OF COMPLEXES OF PYRIDINE N-OXIDES WITH PENTACHLOROPHENOL(1995-11-01) Dega-Szafran, Zofia; Grunwald-Wyspianska, Monika; Kania, Anna; Kosturkiewicz, Zofia; Tykarska, Ewa; Szafran, MirosławThe crystal structure of the 4-methoxy-2,6-dimethylpyridine N-oxide pentachlorophenol complex has been determined by X-ray analysis. The O ... O distance is 2.439(6) Angstrom, the OHO angle is 152.3 degrees and the hydrogen-bonded proton is close to the phenol molecule. The FT-IR spectra of pentachlorophenol complexes with some substituted pyridine N-oxides in the solid state and seven aprotic solvents of different polarity (epsilon from 2.27 to 37.5) show a broad absorption. The broad absorption shows weak dependence upon solvent polarity and is classified as type (ii). UV spectra show that in the investigated complexes protons are not transferred from the phenol to the N-oxides. Formamide (epsilon = 111) is a much stronger proton acceptor than the pyridine N-oxides. Pentachlorophenol in formamide is converted to the phenolate ion.Item Molecular structure, hydrogen bonding and spectroscopic properties of the complex of piperidine-4-carboxylic acid with chloroacetic acid(2008-10-29) Komasa, Anna; Katrusiak, Andrzej; Szafran, Mirosław; Barczyński, Piotr; Dega-Szafran, ZofiaComplex of piperidine-4-carboxylic acid with chloroacetic acid has been studied by X-ray diffraction, FTIR, Raman, H-1 and C-13 NMR spectroscopy and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculations. In crystal the piperidine ring is protonated and adopts a chair conformation with the COOH group in the equatorial position. The COO- group of chloroacetate unit is engaged in three hydrogen bonds: O(1)-H(1)center dot center dot center dot O(3) of 2.604(2) angstrom, N(1)-H(12)center dot center dot center dot O(3) of 2.753(2) angstrom and N(1)-H(11)center dot center dot center dot O(4) of 2.760(2) angstrom. According to the B3LYP calculations the isolated complexes both in vacuum and H2O solution have cyclic structures. In vacuum the molecules are connected by two H-bonds: the COOH group of chloroacetic acid is engaged with piperidine-4-carboxylic acid, one with the nitrogen atom, O(4)-H center dot center dot center dot N(1) of 2.658 angstrom and the second with carboxyl group, O(1)-H center dot center dot center dot O(3) of 2.860 angstrom. In water solution piperidine-4-carboxylic acid is protonated and forms two hydrogen bonds with the chloroacetate unit: N(1)-H center dot center dot center dot O(4) of 2.690 angstrom and O(1)-H center dot center dot center dot O(3) of 2.611 angstrom. Powder FTIR spectra of the complex and its deuterated analogue are consistent with the X-ray structure. Correlations between the experimental H-1 and C-13 chemical shifts of the complex investigated and the GIAO/B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) calculated magnetic isotropic shielding tensors (sigma(calc)) in vacuum and within the conductor-like screening continuum solvation model (COSMO) in H2O, delta(exp) = a + b sigma(calc), are reported.Item Structural, spectroscopic and theoretical studies of dimethylphenyl betaine complex with two molecules of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-phenol(2015-02-05) Szafran, Mirosław; Komasa, Anna; Ostrowska, Kinga; Katrusiak, Andrzej; Dega-Szafran, ZofiaThe 1:2 complex (1) of dimethylphenyl betaine (DMPB) with two molecules of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-phenol (DCNP) was prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction, B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) and B3LYP-D3/6-311++G(d,p)calculations, FTIR and NMR spectroscopies. The crystal is monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c with Z = 4. The protons at the oxygen atoms of phenols are bonded to each oxygen atoms of the DMPB carboxylate group by two nonequivalent H-bonds with the O-H center dot center dot center dot O distances of 2.473(5) and 2.688(4) angstrom. Both H-bonds in the optimized structures 2 (in vacuum), 3 (in DMSO solution) and dispersion-correlated functional (D3) 4 (in vacuum) are comparable and are slightly shorter than O(6)-H(O6)center dot center dot center dot O(2) in the crystal. The FOR spectrum of 1 shows a broad absorption in the 3400-2000 cm(-1) region corresponding to a longer hydrogen bond and a broad absorption in the 1800-500 cm(-1) region caused by the shorter H-bond. The relations between the experimental C-13 and H-1 chemical shifts (delta(exp)) of the investigated compound 1 in DMSO solution and GIAO/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) magnetic isotropic shielding constants (sigma(calc)) obtained by using the screening solvation model (COSMO) for 3 are linear and reproduce well the experimental chemical shifts described by the equation: delta(exp) = a + b sigma(calc).Item Supramolecular structure of the 1:2 complex of 1,4-dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine with squaric acid(2013-07-01) Dega-Szafran, Zofia; Katrusiak, Andrzej; Komasa, Anna; Szafran, MirosławThe 1: 2 complex of 1,4-dimethylpiperazine mono-betaine (MBPZ) with squaric acid (H(2)SQ) has been characterised by single-crystal X-ray analysis, FTIR and NMR spectroscopies, and by DFT calculations. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c. Two MBPZ cations and four hydrogen squarate anions (HSQ(-)) are linked by strong O(1)=H center dot center dot center dot O(13) (2.525(4) angstrom), O(14)-H center dot center dot center dot O(21) (2.511(4) angstrom) and N(4)-H center dot center dot center dot O(23) (2.607(3)angstrom) hydrogen bonds into a cyclamer R-6(6)(38). In turn, the cyclamers are linked into a helix C-4(4)(20) through two O(24)-H center dot center dot center dot O(11) hydrogen bonds of 2.516(4)angstrom. The piperazinium ring has a chair conformation with N(4)-CH3 and N(1)-CH2COOH substituents in the equatorial positions, and N(1)-CH3 in the axial position. The FTIR spectrum is consistent with the crystal data. Two models of the 1: 2 complex of MBPZ with H(2)SQ have been optimised at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory and have been used to calculate harmonic IR frequencies. One of the models (2) is dominated by electrostatic attraction between NH(4)(+) and HSQ(-), whereas in the other (3) squaric acid interacts with a zwitterionic MBPZ through the O-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-H center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds.
