Rationalization of Lattice Thermal Expansion for Beta-Blocker Organic Crystals

description | Anisotropic lattice expansion could be a source of misunderstanding in powder pattern recognitions, especially in the case of organic crystals where for the interpretation of room temperature patterns single crystal data at low temperature are usually used. Trying to rationalize the thermal lattice expansion, we studied two close related β-blocker molecules with similar packing in the solid state but with different thermal behavior. Solid state calculations, using the fast and accurate HF-3c method and the quasi harmonic approximation for the simulation of the lattice expansion, were able to reproduce the experimental trends with good accuracy. The complete analysis of the calculated thermal expansion of the two structures, as well as of other structures with similar packing found in a database survey, revealed the primary role of the hydrogen bonds. Secondary non-covalent interactions in the plane perpendicular to the hydrogen bond system could also play a role. |
