Pyridinium trifluoroacetate: Spoked columns of hydrogen-bonded cyclic dimers
Tayhas,Palmore,McBride-Wieser
, p. 1904 - 1907 (1997)
The crystal structure of C5H6N+.C2F3O2- consists of three unique ion pairs. Each unique ion pair packs along a threefold screw axis to generate a distinct spoked column. The three distinct spoked columns are pseudosymmetrically related through a threefold screw axis. Each column comprises an ionic core and non-polar spokes. Columns pack in a manner that maximizes the non-polar interactions between them.

Neutral halogen-bonded O?I?N complexes were prepared from in situ formed carbonyl hypoiodites and aromatic organic bases. The carbonyl hypoiodites have a strongly polarized iodine atom with larger σ-holes than any known uncharged halogen bond donor. Modulating the Lewis basicity of the selected pyridine derivatives and carboxylates leads to halogen-bonded complexes where the classical O?I???N halogen bond transforms more into a halogen-bonded COO????I?N+ ion-pair (salt) with an asymmetric O?I?N moiety. X-ray analyses, NMR studies, and calculations reveal the halogen bonding geometries of the carbonyl hypoiodite-based O?I?N complexes, confirming that in the solid-state the iodine atom is much closer to the N-atom of the pyridine derivatives than its original position at the carboxylate O-atom.

Equilibrium constants for the proton transfer reaction between pyridines and trifluoroacetic acid were measured in room-temperature ionic liquids (ILs) of different cation–anion compositions. The experimental equilibrium constants for ion-pair formation were corrected according to the Fuoss equation. The calculated equilibrium constants for the formation of free ions were taken as a quantitative measure of the base strength in IL solutions and compared with the relative constants in water. The effect of IL composition is discussed for a series of fixed IL anions and fixed IL cations. Finally, the sensitivity of the proton transfer reaction to the electronic effects of the substituent groups on the pyridine ring was quantified by applying the Hammett equation. A more marked levelling effect on the base strength was observed in ILs than in water. The Hammett reaction constants ρ were then correlated with solvent parameters according to a multi-parametric analysis, which showed that both specific hydrogen-bond donor/acceptor and non-specific interactions play an important role, with α and permittivity being the main parameters affecting the ability of the IL to differentiate the strength of the base.
