Highly crystalline phenyl 2,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate (PDBS, T-melt = 86-87 degrees C) and pentafluorophenyl 2,5-dichlorobenzenesulfonate (FPDBS, T-melt = 120-122 degrees C) were synthesized. Single-crystal X-ray molecular structure determinations show that both compounds have similar three-dimensional molecular structures; however, PDBS crystals are thin platelets and FPDBS crystals form hexagonal tube-like structures that are predominately hollow at one end. PDBS crystals exhibit offset pi-stacking of the phenoxy-rings that form complete two-dimensional layers each two molecules thick. Hydrogen-bonding interactions are calculated at similar to 3.2 angstrom between the C6-hydrogen and the sulfonyl-oxygen of a neighboring molecule. On the other hand, for FPDBS, pi-stacking of the dichloro-substituted ring as well as dipole-dipole interactions of the fluorinated-phenoxy rings appears to be the predominate intermolecular interactions. Neither structure exhibits any kind of side-on interaction of the phenyl rings. PDBS and FPDBS exhibit melting point depressions of 26 and 40 degrees C, respectively, in the presence of supercritical CO2. Although both sulfonates exhibit high solubility in CO2, Much lower pressures are needed to dissolve FPDBS compared to PDBS. For example, at 100 degrees C FPDBS dissolves at 4750 psia and PDBS dissolves at 11,000 psia. The solubility data reinforce the observation that fluorinating a compound can significantly lower the conditions needed to dissolve that compound in CO2. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
