Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Non-covalent interactions in coordination and organometallic compounds (hydrogen, halogen, chalcogen, pnictogen, tetrel, and semi-coordination bonds; agostic and analgesic interactions; stacking and anion–π and cation–π interactions; metallophilic interactions, etc.) are topical in modern chemistry, materials science, crystal engineering, and related fields of knowledge. Both experimental and theoretical methods are widely used for the investigation of the nature and various properties of such weak contact in gas, liquid, and solid states. Non-covalent interactions could be the driving force for designing smart materials with valuable redox, electronic, mechanical, magnetic, and optical properties, which are promising for the manufacture of LEDs, photovoltaic cells of solar power plants, porous structures, sensors, battery cells, and liquid crystals.

Researchers in various fields of chemistry and other disciplines (physics, crystallography, computer science, etc.) are welcome to submit their work on this topic to our Special Issue “Non-Covalent Interactions in Coordination and Organometallic Chemistry”.

This Special Issue will highlight and overview modern trends and bring various types of non-covalent interactions in coordination and organometallic compounds to the attention of the scientific community.

All types of papers (reviews, mini-reviews, full papers, communications, technical notes, and highlights) are welcome for consideration.

Novel triarylazoimidazoles containing strong electron donors (p-NEt2) or acceptors (p-NO2) by the azoaryl group, and their group 12 metal complexes were synthesized and fully characterized, including X-ray analysis for several complexes. Novel complexes exhibit red photo-luminescence emission (Φ up to  0.21) in a solution. Moreover, the antibacterial activity of complexes was tested against Gram-positive microorganism S. aureus and Gram-negative microorganism E. coli. Full article

Abstract
Gold(I) isocyanide complexes featuring Au···Au interactions attract considerable attention because of their tunable photophysical properties. Although the synthetic exploration of isocyanide gold(I) complexes seems reasonable, their structural diversity is mainly limited to linear gold(I) derivatives. The synthesis and structural characterization of cationic three-coordinate [...] Read more.
Gold(I) isocyanide complexes featuring Au···Au interactions attract considerable attention because of their tunable photophysical properties. Although the synthetic exploration of isocyanide gold(I) complexes seems reasonable, their structural diversity is mainly limited to linear gold(I) derivatives. The synthesis and structural characterization of cationic three-coordinate gold(I) mixed 2,2′-bipyridyl/isocyanide complex are presented here for the first time. Cationic gold species form supramolecular dimers in the solid state via attractive Au···Au interactions. The nature and energies of aurophilic contacts, which are responsible for dimerization in the solid state, were studied by DFT calculations together with QTAIM, ELF, RDG, and NCI techniques and Hirshfeld surface analysis. The estimated energy of the aurophilic interactions was 6.3 kcal/mol. Full article

The structure, fundamental properties, and reactivity of chemical systems at various hierarchical levels of organization of matter is the paradigm of chemistry. A qualitative and quantitative description of various intermolecular and intramolecular non-covalent interactions in chemical systems is the main tool for supramolecular design and the driving force of smart prediction of kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of chemical reactions. This perspective is dedicated to highlighting the recent progress of our research group in the investigation of various non-covalent contacts in organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemical systems relevant for medicine, materials science, and catalysis. This research is interdisciplinary in nature and lies at the intersection of computer modeling with such natural science disciplines as chemistry, physics, crystallography, biology, and medicine, as well as directly related to materials science and nanotechnology.
