Abstract:
A new pyridine-fused seleno-diazo-lium salt, 3-(phenyl-selan-yl)[1,2,4]selena-diazolo[4,5-a]pyridin-4-ylium chloride di-chloro-methane 0.352-solvate, C12H9N2Se2 +·Cl-·0.352CH2Cl2, was obtained from the reaction between 2-pyridyl-selenenyl chloride and phenyl-seleno-cyanate. Single-crystal structural analysis revealed the presence of C-H⋯N, C-H⋯Cl-, C-H⋯Se hydrogen bonds as well as chalcogen-chalcogen (Se⋯Se) and chalcogen-halogen (Se⋯Cl-) inter-actions. Non-covalent inter-actions were explored by DFT calculations followed by topological analysis of the electron density distribution (QTAIM analysis). The structure consists of pairs of seleno-diazo-lium moieties arranged in a head-to-tail fashion surrounding disordered di-chloro-methane mol-ecules. The assemblies are connected by C-H⋯Cl- and C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming layers, which stack along the c-axis direction connected by bifurcated Se⋯Cl-⋯H-C inter-actions.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...
