The sequential positioning of F atoms was carried out on one of the aromatic rings that is linked to the sulfonamide moiety directly while the other aromatic ring (phenyl or pyridine) is linked by an ethyl spacer with the sulfonamide moiety. The ethyl spacer is provided to achieve the required flexibility so that both aromatic rings can bend to acquire syn conformation facilitated pi-stacking between electron-deficient and electron-rich aromatic rings. The idea was to study the interplay between hydrogen bonding and pi-stacking synthons in the conformationally flexible sulfonamide derivatives. The solid-state conformation of all the derivatives was investigated using the single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Crystal structure analysis revealed that the syn conformation was achieved only in trifluoro and pentafluoro sulfonamide derivatives with benzene substitution while in all other derivatives the molecules take either midway or anti conformations. None of the sulfonamide molecules with a pyridine moiety showed syn conformation. It could be because of the involvement of the pyridine N-atom in the hydrogen bonding dimeric synthon. The molecular conformation study in solution state using 2D NOESY and HOESY NMR experiments also substantiated syn conformation in a pentafluoro sulfonamide molecule with benzene substitution. The conformational analysis carried out employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed higher stability for the syn conformation over midway and anti orientations.&lt;/p&gt;

Demonstrating synthetic control on the dimensionality/ structure of these perovskites is highly challenging. Dimensionality in these perovskites is largely dictated by the nature/structure and composition of the incorporating ligands and the utilized synthetic conditions. Here, we demonstrate chemical composition based control on reduction of dimensionality (2D -&amp;gt; 1D) for lead bromide perovskite utilizing 2-(2-aminoethyl)isothiourea dihydrobromide as a common precursor ligand (Isothio Bromide). Controlling the hydrothermal reaction parameters (temperature, time) at a fixed precursor ratio affords corner-shared, contorted 2D sheet perovskite and corner-shared, contorted, chiral 1D chain perovskite. Such dimensionality reduction leads to contrasting photophysical properties: 1D chain perovskite shows long-lived and self-trapped broad band emission, whereas 2D perovskite shows short-lived, band edge emission with a long tail. Mechanistic studies and single crystal structure analysis reveal the incorporation of the utilized precursor ligand (Isothio Bromide) in 2D perovskite. Surprisingly, the 1D perovskite is found to be chiral (P2(1) space group) incorporating 2-(2-aminoethyldisulfanyl)ethanamine and ammonium ions as the achiral ligands generated in situ due to hydrothermal cleavage of the precursor (Isothio Bromide) ligand. Such structural and compositional change of the ligands, which manifests a different hydrogen bonding network in the resultant perovskite structure, plays a decisive role in dictating the final molecular formula and dimensionality/structure of the perovskite which largely controls their photophysical properties.&lt;/p&gt;

Crystal structures of B-3, A-1 to A-3 and I-2 to I-4 were obtained through single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. Electronic structure and charge distribution have further been characterized with the use of Density Functional Theory. Seven of these derivatives display a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity against few selected bacterial strains (Gram-positive and Gram-negative). As demonstrated MIC values with B-2 and B-3 against bacterial isolates were 8-64 mu g ml(-1) and those against pathogenic yeast, C. albicans, were observed in the range of 128-256 mu g ml(-1). MIC data of these derivatives suggest them to be promising against pathogens.&lt;/p&gt;

	A series of 21 sulfoester and sulfonamide derivatives comprising two aromatic rings was synthesized to investigate the effect of the presence of either electron-donating (ED) or electron-withdrawing (EW) groups on the intramolecular pi-stacking assembly. The positioning of ED or EW moieties was carried out directly on one of the aromatic rings linked to the sulfonyl or sulfonamide moieties. In contrast, the other aromatic ring (phenyl or pyridine) was connected by a -CH2-CH2- spacer with the sulfonyl or sulfonamide moiety. The purpose of having an ethyl spacer between the two aromatic rings was to achieve conformational flexibility, facilitating the intramolecular pi-stacking assembly between the two aromatic rings. The use of sulfoester/sulfonamide groups allowed more conformational flexibility to attain desired orientations in solids with the interplay of the hydrogen-bonding interactions. Between the two functional groups, sulfonamides offered a more hydrogen-rich environment due to the amine moiety and may exhibit higher H-bonding propensity than the sulfoester moiety. The central idea here was to study the interplay between the hydrogen-bonding and pi &amp;amp; ctdot;pi interactions. The substituent groups chosen were categorized as strong electron-withdrawing (-CF3 and -CN), weak electron-withdrawing (-Cl and -Br), neutral (-H), and good electron-donating (-CH3 and -OCH3) groups. Crystal structure analysis revealed the syn conformation for all the derivatives, enabling intramolecular pi &amp;amp; ctdot;pi interactions between the two aromatic rings, whereas in the sulfonamide derivatives, the molecule takes either midway or anti conformations, except for one pyridine sulfonamide derivative, which showed the syn orientation but lacked intramolecular pi-stacking interactions. The absence of any conventional H-bond forming functional groups in the sulfoester derivatives may have resulted in the syn geometry facilitated by intramolecular pi-stacking interactions. Conversely, H-bond-forming functional groups in the sulfonamide derivatives could have prevented the syn conformation. The conformational analysis carried out employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirmed the higher stability of the syn conformation over the midway and anti orientations. The placing of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups at the para position of the benzene revealed sulfoesters preferably adopts a syn geometry facilitating the intramolecular pi-stacking, but sulphonamides takes midway or anti-geometry.&lt;/p&gt;
