IR Spectrum Peak Broadening: Hydrogen Bonding01:23

IR Spectrum Peak Broadening: Hydrogen Bonding

972
The vibrational frequency of a bond is directly proportional to its bond strength. As a result, stronger bonds vibrate at higher frequencies, while weaker bonds vibrate at lower frequencies. The stretching vibration of the strong O–H bond in alcohols and phenols (very dilute solution or gas phase) appears as a sharp peak at 3600–3650 cm−1.
However, the extent of hydrogen bonding influences the observed stretching frequency and band broadening. Intermolecular or intramolecular...

Hydrogen Bonds00:26

Hydrogen Bonds

121.2K
Hydrogen bonds are weak attractions between atoms that have formed other chemical bonds. One of these atoms is electronegative, like oxygen, and has a partial negative charge. The other is a hydrogen atom that has bonded with another electronegative atom and has a partial positive charge.
Hydrogen Bonds Control the World!
Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

58.2K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Alkyl Halides

16.5K
Structural Properties
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

Area of Science:

  • Solid-state chemistry
  • Materials science
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Trimethylammonium-iodinechloride (TMA-ICl) and diiodide (TMA-I2) are molecular complexes.
  • Understanding their structural response to external stimuli is crucial for materials design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the high-pressure behavior of TMA-ICl and TMA-I2 crystal structures.
  • To elucidate the factors contributing to the observed structural flexibility in TMA-ICl.

Main Methods:

  • Neutron powder diffraction was employed to analyze crystal structures under high pressure.
  • Structural data was compared with existing records in the Cambridge Structural Database.

Main Results:

  • TMA-ICl demonstrated significant pressure-induced electronic flexibility.
  • N⋯I-Cl interactions in TMA-ICl adapted to encompass a wide range of distances.
  • Comparison with TMA-I2 highlighted the role of chlorine's electronegativity in distorting the iodine electron cloud.

Conclusions:

  • The electronic flexibility of TMA-ICl is attributed to the influence of the chlorine atom.
  • This structural adaptability suggests potential applications in designing novel functional molecular materials.
