Cocrystal or Salt: Solid State-Controlled Iodine Shift in Crystalline Halogen-Bonded Systems

Résumé

The distinction between cocrystals and salts is usually investigated in hydrogen-bonded systems as A?H···B ? [A]?···[H?B]+, where the position of the hydrogen atom actually defines the ionicity of the complex. The same distinction, but in halogen-bonded systems, is addressed here, in complexes formed out of N-iodoimide derivatives as halogen bond donors, and pyridines as halogen-bond acceptors, anticipating that the position of the iodine atom in these A?I···B ? [A]?···[I?B]+ systems will also define their degree of ionicity. We show that the crystalline halogen-bonded complexes of N-iodosuccinimide (NIS) with pyridine, 4-methylpyridine, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine can be described as ?close-to-neutral? cocrystals while the crystalline halogen-bonded complex of N-iodosaccharin (NISac) with 4-dimethylaminopyridine adopts a ?close-to-ionic? structure. Theoretical calculations were performed (i) in gas phase on isolated NIS···Py-NMe2 and NISac···Py-NMe2 complexes, and (ii) on the periodic crystal phases, and combined with the topological analysis of the electron density distribution ?(r). We demonstrate unambiguously that the crystal environment actually plays a crucial role in the stabilization of the ?close-to-ionic? structure of the NISac···Py-NMe2 complex. An external homogeneous electric field ε applied to this complex (all atoms frozen at the crystalline geometry, except iodine) in either gas phase (ε = 3.7 GV m?1) or periodic pseudo-isolated configuration (ε = 2.8 GV m?1) is able to shift the iodine atom at the crystal geometry, miming the polarization effect induced by the local crystal electric field. The strong influence of the crystalline environment on the iodine position is demonstrated by using plane wave DFT periodic calculations on optimized NIS·Py-NMe2 and NISac·Py-NMe2 crystal structures, as well as by applying this plane wave basis set formalism to a hypothetical solid where the halogen-bonded complexes are pushed apart from each other within a periodic system
