The hydrogen bond directed molecular recognition properties of a series of diarylurea (DAU) compounds have been studied using cocrystallization to probe hydrogen bond donor and acceptor selectivity of the host and guest molecules. Diarylureas with meta-substituted electron-withdrawing groups on the aryl rings are capable of forming cocrystalcomplexes with a wide variety of hydrogen bond acceptors. One particular DAU, l, 3-bis (m-nitrophenyl) urea, behaves primarily as a proton donor, one of the few organic molecules known to have this property. Its hydrogen bond accepting ability is drastically reduced, possibly because of two very weak CH™ 0 interactions occurring in response to the presence of guest acceptor molecules and effectively negating the powerful proton-accepting ability of the urea carbonyl group. Only DAU compounds with meta-substituted electron-withdrawing groupshave this property. The crystal structures of four DAU compounds and six of their cocrystal structures are reported. In addition, 19 other DAU cocrystals were prepared and characterized by chemical and spectroscopic means, and their hydrogenbond patterns were assigned based on spectroscopic analogies to those with known crystal structures. From this data hydrogen bond rules for diarylureas havebeen derived for use in predicting hydrogen bond patterns in related structures.
