Salicylaldehyde hydrazones are weaker copper extractants than their oxime derivatives, which are used in hydrometallurgical processes to recover ~20 % of the world’s copper. Their strength, based on the extraction equilibrium constant Ke, can be increased by nearly three orders of magnitude by incorporating electron-withdrawing or hydrogen-bond acceptor groups (X) ortho to the phenolic OH group of the salicylaldehyde unit. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the effects of the 3-X substituents arise from a combination of their influence on the acidity of the phenol in the pH-dependent equilibrium, Cu2+ + 2Lorg ⇌ [Cu(L–H)2]org + 2H+, and on their ability to ‘buttress’ interligand hydrogen bonding by interacting with the hydrazone N–H donor group. X-ray crystal structure determination and computed structures indicate that in both the solid state and the gas phase, coordinated hydrazone groups are less planar than coordinated oximes and this has an adverse effect on intramolecular hydrogen-bond formation to the neighbouring phenolate oxygen atoms.

This review outlines methods to investigate the structure of natural products with emphasis on intramolecular hydrogen bonding, tautomerism and ionic structures using NMR techniques. The focus is on 1H chemical shifts, isotope effects on chemical shifts and diffusion ordered spectroscopy. In addition, density functional theory calculations are performed to support NMR results. The review demonstrates how hydrogen bonding may lead to specific structures and how chemical equilibria, as well as tautomeric equilibria and ionic structures, can be detected. All these features are important for biological activity and a prerequisite for correct docking experiments and future use as drugs.

Hydrogen bonding interactions between trimethylamine (TMA) and a series of para substituted phenols (X– C 6 H 4 OH , X = H , CH 3, NH 2, Cl , CN , and NO 2) are studied by using density functional theory with the hybrid B3LYP functional and the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set. Both electron donor and acceptor substituents (X) are chosen to study systematically the relation between the proton donor ability of the phenols and the strength of the OH … N hydrogen bond. The effect of hydrogen bonding on spectral and structural parameters and their inter relation are discussed. The natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis (occupation of σ* orbitals, hyperconjugative energies and atomic charges) is also carried out to elucidate the reason behind the spectral and structural changes due to hydrogen bond formation. Several correlations between hydrogen bond strength and bond properties are discussed.

The hydrogen-bond acceptor ability of sulfur in C=S systems has been investigated using crystallographic data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database and via ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The R1R2C=S bond lengths span a wide range, from 1.58 Å in pure thiones (R 1 = R 2 = Csp 3) to 1.75 Å in thioureido species (R 1 = R 2 = N) and in dithioates —CS^{-}_2. The frequency of hydrogen-bond formation at =S increases from 4.8% for C=S > 1.63 Å to more than 70% for C=S > 1.70 Å in uncharged species. The effective electronegativity of S is increased by conjugative interactions between C=S and the lone pairs of one or more N substituents (R 1 R 2): a clear example of resonance-induced hydrogen bonding. More than 80% of S in —CS^{-}_2 accept hydrogen bonds. C=S...H—N,O bonds are shown to be significantly weaker than their C=O...H—N,O analogues by (a) comparing mean S...H and O...H distances (taking account of the differing non-bonded sizes of S and O and using neutron-normalized H positions) and (b) comparing frequencies of hydrogen-bond formation in `competitive' environments, i.e. in structures containing both C=S and C=O acceptors. The directional properties and hydrogen-bond coordination numbers of C=S and C=O acceptors have also been compared. There is evidence for lone-pair directionality in both systems, but =S is more likely (17% of cases) than =O (4%) to accept more than two hydrogen bonds. Ab initio calculations of residual atomic charges and electrostatic potentials reinforce the crystallographic observations.

The hydrogen-bonding properties of galanthamine have been investigated experimentally from a thorough analysis of crystallographic data retrieved from the Protein Data Bank and Cambridge Structural Database databases and theoretically through ab initio [MP2/6-311++G(2d,p)] and density functional theory [MPWB1K/6-31++G(d,p)] calculations. The main hydrogen-bond acceptor (HBA) interaction sites of the molecule are the O atoms and their spatial proximity allows multi-centered hydrogen-bond (HB) motifs. The hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) sites of the molecule are the NH+ and OH groups as well as several CH donors. Among them, the preferred ones are those directly linked to the ammonium nitrogen, followed by aromatic CH and finally the methyl group of the methoxy substituent. All these observations are in fairly good agreement with the computed positions of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) minima and maxima of various galanthamine species. The galanthamine HBD and HBA properties, investigated through the MEP analysis, appear sensitive to the degree of neutralization of the ammonium NH+ positive charge.

In this paper, 4TZDA-DMSO/water complexes formed by hydrogen bonding interactions were investigated by a combined experimental and computational approach. Two conformations of 4TZDA molecule were considered. Seven hydrogen-bonded 4TZDA-DMSO/H2O complexes were characterized in terms of geometries, energies and vibrational frequencies. The optimizations and calculations were performed for the complexes by Density Functional Theory. In the experimental part, the DMSO/H2O solutions of 4TZDA were prepared and infrared spectra of the solutions were recorded. After the solvation process, significant shifts in the existing bands and new band rising were observed in the experimental spectra of 4TZDA. Following results are found from this study: 1) 4TZDA (I) is more stable than 4TZDA (II). 2) Seven 4TZDA-DMSO and 4TZDA-H2O complexes are investigated and it is seen that all nitrogen atoms of 4TZDA are hydrogen bond acceptor and all hydrogen atoms are hydrogen bond donors. 3) Aqueous complexes of 4TZDA are found to form stronger hydrogen bonds compared to DMSO complexes. 4) It is determined that the most stable structures are intermolecular interactions of lpO⋯H-N and lpN⋯H-O type for the complexes. For these interactions, h-bond lengths are calculated as 1.78 and 1.90 Å and interaction energies are -7.10 kJ/mol for 4TZDA-DMSO and -50.5 kJ/mol for 4TZDA-H2O. Because of this energy difference in the complexes, it can be said 4TZDA forms more stable complexes with water molecules compared to DMSO molecules and with this property, it is an ideal molecule for pharmacological purposes.

The term “hydrogen bond” has been used in the literature for nearly a century now. While its importance has been realized by physicists, chemists, biologists, and material scientists, there has been a continual debate about what this term means. This debate has intensified following some important experimental results, especially in the last decade, which questioned the basis of the traditional view on hydrogen bonding. Most important among them are the direct experimental evidence for a partial covalent nature and the observation of a blue-shift in stretching frequency following X–H···Y hydrogen bond formation (XH being the hydrogen bond donor and Y being the hydrogen bond acceptor). Considering the recent experimental and theoretical advances, we have proposed a new definition of the hydrogen bond, which emphasizes the need for evidence. A list of criteria has been provided, and these can be used as evidence for the hydrogen bond formation. This list is followed by some characteristics that are observed in typical hydrogen-bonding environments.

The stability of two stable cis-enol forms in two categories of β-diketones, including para-substituted of trifluorobenzoylacetone (X-TFBA) and 1-aryl-1,3-diketone malonates (X-ADM, X: H, NO2, OCH3, CH3, OH, CF3, F, Cl, and NH2) has been obtained by different theoretical methods. According to our results, the energy difference between the mentioned stable chelated enol forms for the titled compounds is negligible. The theoretical equilibrium constants between the two stable cis-enol of the mentioned molecules are in excellent agreement with the reported experimental equilibrium constant. In addition, the effect of different substitutions on the intramolecular hydrogen bond strength has been evaluated. The correlation between Hammett para-substituent constants, σp. with the theoretical and experimental parameters related to the strength of hydrogen bond in p-X-TFBA and p-X-ADM molecules also investigated by means of density functional theory calculations. The electronic effects of para-substitutions on the intramolecular hydrogen bond strength were determined by NMR and IR data related to intramolecular hydrogen bond strength, geometry, natural bond orbital results, and topological parameters. These parameters were correlated with the Hammett para-substituent constants, σp. Good linear correlations between σp and the several parameters related to the hydrogen bond strength, in this study were obtained.
