Popis: | In the present work, substituent effects on cooperativity of S···N chalcogen bonds are studied in XHS···NCHS···4-Z–Py (X = F, Cl; Z = H, F, OH, CH3, NH2, NO2, and CN; and Py = pyridine) complexes using ab initio calculations. An increased attraction or a positive cooperativity is observed on introduction of a third molecule to the XHS···NCHS and NCHS···4-Z–Py binary systems. The shortening of each chalcogen bond distance in the ternary systems is dependent on the substituent Z and is increased in the order Z = NH2 > OH > CH3 > H > F > CN > NO2. The electronic aspects of the complexes are analysed using molecular electrostatic potential, and the parameters derived from the atoms in molecules and natural bond orbital methodologies. According to interaction energy decomposition analysis, the electrostatic energies are important in the interaction energy of S···N bonds and may be regarded as being responsible for the stability of these complexes. |
