NMR Quantification of Halogen-Bonding Ability To Evaluate Catalyst Activity
摘要:
Quantification of halogen-bonding abilities is described for a series of benzimidazolium-, imidazolium- and bis(imidazolium) halogen-bond donors (XBDs) using P-31 NMR spectroscopy. The measured Delta delta(P-31) values correlate with calculated activation free energy Delta G(double dagger) and catalytic activity for a Friedel-Crafts indole addition. This rapid method also serves as a sensitive indicator for Bronsted acid impurities.

We have conducted isothermal calorimetric titrations to investigate the halogen-bond strength of cationic bidentate halogen-bond donors toward halides, using bis(iodoimidazolium) compounds as probes. These data are intended to aid the rational design of halogen-bond donors as well as the development of halogen-bond-based applications in solution. In all cases examined, the entropic contribution to the overall free energy of binding was found to be very important. The binding affinities showed little dependency on the weakly coordinating counteranions of the halogen-bond donors but became slightly stronger with higher temperatures. We also found a marked influence of different solvents on the interaction strength. The highest binding constant detected in this study was 3.3 x 10(6) M-1.
