In the present work, the hydrogen bond (HB) interactions between substituted syn and anti rotamers of methyl N-(2-pyridyl) carbamate and acetic acid were investigated using quantum mechanical (QM) calculations. The rotamers have two typical active sites to form hydrogen bonds with acetic acid, such that four stable complexes are found on the potential energy surface. The complexes in which the oxygen atom of carbamate acts as proton acceptor are stabilized by EWSs and are destabilized by EDSs. The trend in the effects of substituents is reversed in the other two complexes, in which the nitrogen atom of ring is involved in the interaction. According to energy data, the substituent effects on the interaction energy can be expressed by Hammett constants. The natural resonance theory (NRT) model was used to investigate the charge distribution on the carbamate group and to discuss the interaction energies. The individual HB energies were estimated to evaluate their cooperative contributions on the interaction energies of the complexes. In addition, the localized molecular orbital energy decomposition analyses (LMO-EDA) demonstrate that the electrostatic interactions are the most important stabilizing components of interactions.

This study aims to study the conformation, the hydrogen bond network, and the stabilities of all the possible intermolecular interactions in phosphorylated nata de coco membrane with water (NDCF-(H2O)n, n = 1-5). Analysis of natural bond orbital (NBO) was performed to measure the relative strength of the hydrogen bonding interactions, charge transfer, particularly the interactions of n-σ * O-H and to take into account the effect on the stabilities of the molecular structure. All calculation were performed using density functional theory (DFT) method, at B3LYP functional level of theory and 6-311 G** basis set. The charge transfer between the lone pair of a proton acceptor to the anti-bonding orbital of the proton donor provides the substantial to the stabilization of the hydrogen bonds. Interaction between NDCF and (H2O)5 was strongest with the stabilization energy of 37.73 kcal/mol, that indicate the ease of donating lone pair electrons. The contributions of each hydrogen bond to the stability of the complex have been analyzed.
