However, employing carbon dioxide as double synthons via bimolecular reduction remains challenging. Here, by leveraging the bimolecular reduction of carbon dioxide to carbonyl and methyl respectively, we describe a Pd-catalyzed trifunctionalization of alkynes with aryl iodide for the first time and showcase its advantages on the formation of various β-diketones and their application in the constructing of heterocyclic compounds with important biological activity, including pyrimidine, oxazole, pyrazole.展开更多

Proton transfer occurs from the COOH of carboxylic acid to nitrogen of imidazole in all complexes (1-3), leading to the hydrogen bond N-H…O in all structures. To our knowledge, the recognition pattern between the carboxylic acid group and imidazole (acid-imidazole synthon) is less well-studied so far. The cooperation among COOH, COO and imidazolium cation functional groups for the observed hydrogen bond synthons is examined in the three structures. Generally, the strong N-H…O and O-H…O hydrogen bonds define supramolecular architecture and connectivity within chains, while weaker C-H…O hydrogen bonds play the dominant role in controlling the interactions between layers in these novel organic salts. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of mass loss.展开更多

Utilization of the interplay of dimensionality （I-D, 2-D and 3-D）, orientation of functional groups of the building blocks, influence of rigid/flexible linking groups, and weak interactions provides an interesting route for the creation of novel supramolecular architectures in the crystal lattice. N-unsubstituted 1H-benzotriazole and carboxylic acid, being self-complementary molecules, offer a broad scope of study of binary compounds based on the complementary combination of H-bonding/donating sites. We report here the construction of three extended molecular networks in cocrystals of the carboxylic acid group of the acid and the 1H-benzotriazole triazole moiety. We have been able to identify four major supramolecualr synthons that would be helpful in the prediction of structural motifs for these kinds of studies. Interestingly, these heterosynthons are strikingly similar, to those of the homosynthons of the individual functional groups. The nature of the aza groups helps to enhance the overall volume of the crystal lattice thus lead- ing to the formation of various supramolecular assemblies. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） of mass loss.展开更多

Neutral molecules are connected via heteromeric O-H.-.O and N-H…O contacts leading to different packing arrangements of supramolecular chains. On the basis of the molec- ular structures of glycine anhydride and carboxylic acid guests, the hydrogen bonds are arranged to give centrosymmetric synthons V and VII which are noteworthy for their robustness. Hydrogen-bond interactions between glycine anhydride and aromatic acid provide sufficient driving force to direct molecular recognition and crystal packing. Utilization of the orientation of functional groups of the building blocks, the acidity, and weak interactions provides a route for the creation of novel supra- molecular architectures in the crystal lattice. Both two co-crystals contain the expected hydrogen-bonded motifs, and there has been no proton transfer from either of the two carboxylic acids to the aza compound moiety. This demonstrates that glycine anhydride is very capable of affecting the construction of binary co-crystals in a predictable and rationale manner. It is noted that synthons Ⅷ and IX are fairly large, but the real challenge in crystal engineering is to find a big enough synthon that occurs often enough. Thermal stability of these compounds has been investigated by thermogravimetric analysis （TGA） of mass loss.展开更多

These two forms of salts are both monoclinic systems with space group P21/c（14）. The lattice parameters of salts 1 and 2 are a=1.32666（10） nm, b=0.90527（7） nm, c=1.67107（13） nm, β=103.125（1）° and a=1.4950（2） nm, b=0.75242（15） nm, c=1.6563（3） nm, β=92.834（2）°, respectively. Expected classical hydrogen bonds N-H...O and O-H...O appear in the chargetransfer salts, and asymmetric units of these two forms both contain water molecules which play a significant role in building novel supramolecular architectures. Robust hydrogen-bond interactions between 1-methylpiperazine and aromatic acid provide sufficient driving force to direct the two crystals to three-dimensional structures. Weak interactions C-H-O emerging in salts 1 and 2 further enhance their crystal structures. As a consequence, hydrogen-bonding interactions in these compounds afford diverse 3D net supramolecular architectures. Thermal stability of these compounds was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis（TGA）.展开更多
