Observation of a reversible isomorphous phase transition and an interplay of “σ-holes” and “π-holes” in Fmoc-Leu-ψ[CH2-NCS]†
Abstract
Fmoc-Leu-ψ[CH2NCS] undergoes a reversible isomorphous phase transition upon cooling. The crystal structure at 100 K displays a short NCS⋯NCS intermolecular interaction, which has been characterized based on experimental charge density analysis, as a stabilizing interaction with both σ-holes and π-holes acting cooperatively.
