The position of the proton signals in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of sulfanes (H2Sx) is dependent on the sulfur chain length, the sulfane concentration, and the temperature. These proton chemical shifts are interpreted in terms of sulfane–sulfane interactions and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in sulfanes. Supporting evidence is provided by the position and appearance of the SH-absorption bands of the sulfanes in the infrared, which also establishes the existence of sulfane–solvent interactions.It is concluded that sulfanes participate in hydrogen bonding interactions and it is suggested that there may be a special type of intramolecular hydrogen bonding operative in H2S3.

Carbon-13 nmr chemical shifts have been used to determine the basicity constants for nine alcohols. The method involves comparing the chemical shifts for carbon atoms adjacent to the site of protonation with those for carbon atoms in a more remote position. The differences in the chemical shifts (Δ values) at different acidities are then used to calculate basicity constants for the alcohols. The pKBH+ values, determined by use of the "X function" are as follows: ethanol −2.12, 1-propanol −2.12, 3-chloro-1-propanol −2.24, 2-chloroethanol −2.45, 2-bromoethanol −2.41, 2-nitroethanol −2.09, 2-methoxyethanol −1.93, 2-phenoxyethanol −1.87, and 2-propanol −2.06. The typical slope parameter, m*, is 0.17. Two linear free energy correlations are obtained: when the alcohols are considered to be a series of monosubstituted ethanols, the Hammett plot has a slope of 0.65; when they are considered to be a series of mono- and disubstituted methanols, the slope is 1.7. Alcohols bearing oxygen-containing substituents are more basic than predicted by about 0.5 pK units, presumably because their conjugate acids can be stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

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 networks are vital for metallo-enzymes to function; however, modeling these systems is non-trivial. The development of 1st-row transition metal chloride complexes with intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are detailed herein.

Longipilin acetate, C23H28O9, is a compound isolated from Espeletia killipii, a Colombian native plant. The molecule contains two non-planar rings, a ten-membered ring and a five-membered lactone. Various substituents around the ten-membered ring provide very weak intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions that determine the molecular folding.
