Our quantum chemical analyses elucidated how the replacement of O in the amide bonds of benzene-1,3-5-tricarboxamides (OBTAs) with the larger chalcogens S and Se enhances the intermolecular interactions and thereby the stability of the obtained hydrogen-bonded supramolecular polymers due to two unexpected reasons: i) the SBTA and SeBTA monomers have a better geometry for self-assembly and ii) induce stronger covalent (hydrogen-bond) interactions besides enhanced dispersion interactions. In addition, it is shown that the cooperativity in benzene-1,3,5-triamide (BTA) self-assembly is caused by charge separation in the σ-electronic system following the covalency in the hydrogen bonds.
我们的量子化学分析阐明了在苯-1,3,5-三羧酸酰胺(OBTAs)的酰胺键中用较大的硫族元素 S 和 Se 替代 O,如何增强分子间相互作用,从而提高所得氢键超分子聚合物的稳定性,原因有两个:i)SBTA 和 SeBTA 单体具有更好的自组装几何形状;ii)除了增强分散相互作用外,还诱导更强的共价(氢键)相互作用。此外,还表明苯-1,3,5-三酰胺(BTA)自组装中的协同作用是由氢键中的共价性引起的σ-电子系统中的电荷分离引起的。
