Insights into the self-assembly steps of cyanuric acid toward rosette motifs: a DFT study.

Abstract:

:The nature of non-covalent interactions in self-assembling systems is a topic that has aroused great attention in literature. In this field, the 1,3,5-triazinane-2,4,6-trione or cyanuric acid (CA) is one of the most widely used molecules to formulate self-assembled materials or monolayers. In the present work, a variety of molecular aggregates of CA are examined using three different DFT functionals (B3LYP, B3LYP-D3, and ω-B97XD) in the framework of the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Herein, a step by step aggregation path is proposed and the origin of cooperative effects is also examined. It is shown that a greater cooperativity is not always associated with a greater binding energy, and the greatest cooperative effect occurs with highly directional hydrogen bonds. The intramolecular charge transfers play a key role in this effect. Graphical abstract The noncovalent interactions in cyanuric acid supramolecules were analyzed. The calculations provide insights into the self-assembly steps from dimers to rosette-like motif. The complexes with collinear hydrogen bonds show positive cooperativity, while in the arrangement with double hydrogen bonds the cooperative effect is essentially zero.
