Anion directed supramolecular architecture of pyrazole based ionic salts

Abstract

The reaction of 3,5-diphenylpyrazole (PzPh2H) with different inorganic acids affords salts viz., PzPh2H2+·H2PO4 (1), PzPh2H2+·NO3·H2O (2), PzPh2H2+·Cl (3), 8PzPh2H2+·4HSO4·2SO4−2·3H2O (4) and PzPh2H2+·ClO4·H2O·CH3OH (5) with different structures. The present study demonstrates that the formation of hydrogen bond between protonated pyrazoles and anions provides a sufficient driving force for the directed assembly of an extensive supramolecular frame work. Theoretical studies reveal that with the increase in the strength of the inorganic acid, the hydrogen bond interaction energy increases. Using Gaussview to analyse the optimized geometries obtained at DFT(B3LYP)/6-31G(d,p) level of theory further revealed that the orientation of molecules remained the same both in the solid and gaseous phases.
