The crystal structures of (NH4)H2C6H5O7 and (NH4)3C6H5O7 have been determined using a combination of powder and single crystal techniques. The structure of (NH4)2HC6H5O7 has been determined previously by single crystal diffraction. All three structures were optimized using density functional techniques. The crystal structures are dominated by N-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds, though O-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds are also important. In (NH4)H2C6H5O7 very strong centrosymmetric charge-assisted O-H-O hydrogen bonds link one end of the citrate into chains along the b-axis. A more-normal O-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bond links the other end of the citrate to the central ionized carboxyl group. In (NH4)2HC6H5O7, the very strong centrosymmetric O-H-O hydrogen bonds link the citrates into zig-zag chains along the b-axis. The citrates occupy layers parallel to the bc plane, and the ammonium ions link the layers through N-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds. In (NH4)3C6H5O7, the hydroxyl group forms a hydrogen bond to a terminal carboxylate, and there is an extensive array of N-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds. The energies of the density functional theory-optimized structures lead to a correlation between the energy of an N-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bond and the Mulliken overlap population: E(N-H⋅⋅⋅O) (kcal/mole) = 23.1(overlap)½. Powder patterns of (NH4)H2C6H5O7 and (NH4)3C6H5O7 have been submitted to International Centre for Diffraction Data for inclusion in the powder diffraction file.

The crystal structures of two forms of alclometasone dipropionate have been solved and refined using a single synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction pattern and optimized using density functional techniques. Both forms crystallize in the space group P212121 (#19) with Z = 4. The lattice parameters of Form 1 are a = 10.44805(7), b = 14.68762(8), c = 17.31713(9) Å, and V = 2657.44(2) Å3, and those of Form 2 are a = 10.69019(13), b = 14.66136(23), c = 17.17602(23) Å, and V = 2692.05(5) Å3. Both density functional theory and molecular mechanics optimizations indicate that Form 2 is lower in energy, but the differences are within the expected uncertainties of such calculations. In both forms, the only traditional hydrogen bond is between the hydroxyl group and the ketone in the steroid A ring. The chlorine atom acts as an acceptor in two intramolecular C–H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds involving ring hydrogens, as well as in an intermolecular hydrogen bond involving a methyl group. There are several C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds, mainly to ketone oxygens, but also to the hydroxyl group and an ether oxygen. The powder patterns have been submitted to ICDD for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™.

Abstract Cyclic voltammetry, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance and quantum chemistry calculations were applied to explore the hydrogen bond interactions between ascorbic acid (AA) and glycine. The experimental results demonstrate the existence of hydrogen bonds in AA-glycine system, which has a significant effect on the oxidation peak potentials and currents of AA and the chemical shifts of glycine. The formation of hydrogen bonds between AA and glycine were further confirmed by the density functional theory, quantum theory of atoms in molecules and natural bond orbital analyses.

The crystal structure of hydroxyzine dihydrochloride has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Hydroxyzine dihydrochloride crystallizes in space group P21 (#4) with a = 11.48735(10), b = 7.41792(7), c = 14.99234(15) Å, β = 110.4383(10)°, V = 1197.107(13) Å3, and Z = 2. The hydroxyl-containing side chain of the cation is disordered over two conformations, with ~70/30% occupancy. The crystal structure consists of alternating polar (which includes the cation-anion interactions and hydrogen bonds) and nonpolar layers parallel to the ab-plane. The crystal structure is dominated by hydrogen bonds. Each of the protonated nitrogen atoms forms a very strong hydrogen bond to one of the chloride anions. The hydroxyl group forms a strong hydrogen bond to one of the chloride anions in both conformations, and there are subtle differences in the hydrogen bonding patterns between the conformations. The powder pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entry 00-066-1603.

The crystal structures of 16 new alkali metal citrates were determined using powder and/or single crystal techniques. These structures and 12 previously determined citrate structures were optimized using density functional techniques. The central portion of a citrate ion is fairly rigid, while the conformations of the terminal carboxylate groups exhibit no preferences. The citrate–metal bonding is ionic. Trends in metal–citrate coordination are noted. The energy of an O—H...O hydrogen bond is proportional to the square root of the H...acceptor Mulliken overlap population, and a correlation between the hydrogen bond energy and the H...acceptor distance was developed:E(kJ mol−1) = 137.5 (5) − 45.7 (8) (H...A, Å). The hydrogen bond contribution to the crystal energy ranges from 62.815 to 627.6 kJ mol−1 citrate−1and comprises ∼5 to 30% of the crystal energy. The general order of ionization of the three carboxylic acid groups of citric acid is: central, terminal, terminal, although there are a few exceptions. Comparisons of the refined and DFT-optimized structures indicate that crystal structures determined using powder diffraction data may not be as accurate as single-crystal structures.

The crystal structure of pomalidomide Form I has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional theory techniques. Pomalidomide Form I crystallizes in the space group P-1 (#2) with a = 7.04742(9), b = 7.89103(27), c = 11.3106(6) Å, α = 73.2499(13), β = 80.9198(9), γ = 88.5969(6)°, V = 594.618(8) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is characterized by the parallel stacking of planes parallel to the bc-plane. Hydrogen bonds link the molecules into double layers also parallel to the bc-plane. Each of the amine hydrogen atoms acts as a donor to a carbonyl group in an N–H⋯O hydrogen bond, but only two of the four carbonyl groups act as acceptors in such hydrogen bonds. Other carbonyl groups participate in C–H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™ (PDF®).

AbstractCatechin – a natural polyphenol substance – has excellent antioxidant properties for the treatment of diseases, especially for cholesterol lowering. Catechin can reduce cholesterol content in micelles by forming insoluble precipitation with cholesterol, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. In this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of catechin and cholesterol, we studied the interaction between typical catechins and cholesterol by the density functional theory. Results show that the adsorption energies between the four catechins and cholesterol are obviously stronger than that of cholesterol themselves, indicating that catechin has an advantage in reducing cholesterol micelle formation. Moreover, it is found that the molecular interactions of the complexes are mainly due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of the catechins as well as the hydrogen bond interactions. Unlike the intuitive understanding of a complex formed by hydrogen bond interaction, which is positively correlated with the number of hydrogen bonds, the most stable complexes (epicatechin–cholesterol or epigallocatechin–cholesterol) have only one but stronger hydrogen bond, due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of catechins.

The crystal structure of oxybutynin hydrochloride hemihydrate has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data, and optimized using density functional techniques. Oxybutynin hydrochloride hemihydrate crystallizes in space group I2/a (#15) with a = 14.57266(8), b = 8.18550(6), c = 37.16842(26) Å, β = 91.8708(4)°, V = 4421.25(7) Å3, and Z = 8. The compound exhibits X-ray-induced photoreduction of the triple bond. Prominent in the layered crystal structure is the N–H⋅⋅⋅Cl hydrogen bond between the cation and anion, as well as O–H⋅⋅⋅Cl hydrogen bonds from the water molecule and hydroxyl group of the oxybutynin cation. C–H⋅⋅⋅Cl hydrogen bonds also contribute to the crystal energy, and help determine the conformation of the cation. The powder pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entry 00-068-1305.

The crystal structure of osimertinib mesylate Form B has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional techniques. Osimertinib mesylate Form B crystallizes in space group P-1 (#2) with a = 11.42912(17), b = 11.72274(24), c = 13.32213(22) Å, α = 69.0265(5), β = 74.5914(4), γ = 66.4007(4)°, V = 1511.557(12) Å3, and Z = 2. The crystal structure is characterized by alternating layers of cation–anion and parallel stacking interactions parallel to the ab-planes. The cation is protonated at the nitrogen atom of the dimethylamino group, which forms a strong hydrogen bond between the cation and the anion. That hydrogen atom also participates in a weaker intramolecular hydrogen bond to an amino nitrogen. There are two additional N–H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds between the cation and the anion. Several C–H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bonds also link the cations and anions. The powder pattern has been submitted to ICDD® for inclusion in the Powder Diffraction File™.

Two polymorphs (α, β) of pyrazinium hydrogen sulfate (pyzH+HSO_4^-, abbreviated as PHS) with distinctly different hydrogen-bond types and topologies but close electronic energies have been synthesized and characterized for the first time. The α-polymorph (P212121) forms distinct blocks in which the pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions are interconnected through a network of NH...O and OH...O hydrogen bonds. The β-form (P\bar 1) consists of infinite chains of alternating pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions connected by NH...O and OH...N hydrogen bonds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate the possible existence of a hypothetical polar P1 form of the β-polymorph with an unusually high dipole moment.

AbstractThe excited states of cis-trans formic acid dimer and its monomers have been investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds O1-H1...O2=C2 and C2-H2...O4=C1 induces bond length lengthening of the groups related to the hydrogen bond, while that of the C2-H2 group is shortened. It is demonstrated that the red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 and blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened when excited to the S1 state. Moreover, it is found that the groups related to the formation of red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 are both strengthened in the S1 state, while the groups related to the blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened. This will provide information for the photochemistry and photophysical study of red- and blue-shift hydrogen bond.
