The role and nature of the weak intermolecular bond in the H2O2–noble gas enantiomeric conformations are presented. Charge transfer associated with the formation of a weak intermolecular hydrogen bond tends to stabilize the cis-barrier conformation.

A systematic survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has identified all intramolecular hydrogen-bonded ring motifs comprising less than 20 atoms with N and O donors and acceptors. The probabilities of formation Pm of the 50 most common motifs, which chiefly comprise five- and six-membered rings, have been derived by considering the number of intramolecular motifs which could possibly form. The most probable motifs (Pm > 85%) are planar conjugated six-membered rings with a propensity for resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding and these form the shortest contacts, whilst saturated six-membered rings typically have Pm < 10%. The influence of intramolecular-motif formation on intermolecular hydrogen-bond formation has been assessed for a planar conjugated model substructure, showing that a donor-H is considerably less likely to form an intermolecular bond if it forms an intramolecular one. On the other hand, the involvement of a carbonyl acceptor in an intramolecular bond does not significantly affect its ability to act as an intermolecular acceptor and thus carbonyl acceptors display a substantially higher inclination for bifurcation if one hydrogen bond is intramolecular.

Accelerated chemistry at the interface with water has received increasing attention. The mechanisms behind the enhanced reactivity On-Water are not yet clear. In this work we use a Langevin scheme in the spirit of second generation Car-Parrinello to accelerate the second-order density functional Tight-Binding (DFTB2) method in order to investigate the free energy of two Diels-Alder reaction On-Water: the cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and ethyl cinnamate or thionocinnamate. The only difference between the reactants is the substitution of a carbonyl oxygen for a thiocarbonyl sulfur, making possible the distinction between them as strong and weak hydrogen-bond acceptors. We find a different mechanism for the reaction during the transition states and uncover the role of hydrogen bonds along with the reaction path. Our results suggest that acceleration of Diels-Alder reactions do not arise from an increased number of hydrogen bonds at the transition state and charge transfer plays a significant role. However, the presence of water and hydrogen-bonds is determinant for the catalysis of these reactions.

Conversely to the H2O–CF4 adduct, an appreciable intermolecular bond stabilization by charge transfer is operative in the H2O–CCl4 system.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Fe(C15H10N3O)2]ClO4·H2O, contains one iron(III) cation chelated by two N-(8-naphthyl)-2-pyridine-2-carboxamidate ligands via six N atoms, exhibiting an octahedral coordination geometry, a perchlorate anion and a water molecule. The Fe—N bond lengths are in the range 1.880 (3)–1.972 (3) Å. Each ligand is planar (r.m.s. deviations = 0.0314 and 0.0282 Å). The dihedral angle between the two ligand planes is 86.55 (1)°. There is a weak intermolecular hydrogen bond between the water and the perchlorate groups.
