The concept of orthogonality between halogen and hydrogen bonding, brought out by Ho and coworkers some years ago, has become a widely accepted idea within the chemists’ community. While the original work was based on a common carbonyl oxygen as acceptor for both interactions, we explore here, by means of M06-2X, M11, ωB97X, and ωB97XD/aug-cc-PVTZ DFT calculations, the interdependence of halogen and hydrogen bonding with a shared π-electron system of benzene. The donor groups (specifically NCBr and H2O) were placed on either or the same side of the ring, according to a double T-shaped or a perpendicular geometry, respectively. The results demonstrate that the two interactions with benzene are not strictly independent on each other, therefore outlining that the orthogonality between halogen and hydrogen bonding, intended as energetical independence between the two interactions, should be carefully evaluated according to the specific acceptor group.

Abstract The delicate balance among conformation, coordination bonds and hydrogen bonding has been probed in solvatomorphs of known metal-organic molecules synthesised from copper(II), cadmium(II) and cobalt(II) with acetate (OAc) and 2,2′-bipyridine (bipy). The Cu(OAc)2(bipy) complex, isolated as a pentahydrate, has the acetate ligands oriented to opposite sides of the coordination square plane. DFT calculations show the energy difference between this structure and a syn form amount to approximately 16 kJ/mol. The presence of lattice water enables the formation of O–H···O hydrogen bonds with the acetate ligands. Different coordination numbers and energies are found as a function of the number of water molecules co-crystallising in the Cd(OAc)2(bipy)(OH2)·3H2O and [Co(OAc)(bipy)2](OAc)·3H2O complexes.

The change of free enthalpy involved in intramolecular hydrogen bonding is smaller if the proton acceptor group can rotate round a single bond, as compared to proton acceptor groups which are fixed in a position optimal for hydrogen bonding. Also, the free enthalpy change is altered when the rotation of the proton acceptor is sterically restricted. This is demonstrated by comparing the absorptions of carbonyl stretching vibrations in the infrared spectra of certain compounds showing rotational isomerism. In the present study derivatives of 5-hydroxy-2,2-dimethyl-6-carbomethoxychromanone- (4), 3-nitrosalicylaldehyde and 3-nitro-2-hydroxy-acetophenones substituted in the position 5 and 6 are examined.

Fluorescence spectra of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) in binary and ternary mixtures in nonpolar and hydrogen bonding solvents at different temperatures are investigated. A probable case of partial protonation of THQ at 300 K due to hydrogen bonding in the excited state with ethanol is reported. At 77 K, there is no significant hydrogen bonding interaction between these molecules. Interaction between the n-orbital of triethylamine (TEA) and the π-electron system of excited THQ results in the formation of a CT-type complex which causes slow quenching of the fluorescence of THQ at 300 K. This quenching is not observed at 77 K because restriction of molecular orientation at 77 K prevents the formation of such complex In pyridine, the fluorescence is strongly quenched both at room temperature and at 77 K. This has been attributed to π-electronic delocalization interaction between the fluorescer THQ and the nonfluorescing quencher pyridine. Possibility of conformational change is suggested. Rate constants associated with suitable reaction scheme for depletion of excited state are estimated. It is indicated that the quenching of fluorescence may be largely diffusion controlled.

The chapter surveys mostly original work of the authors on the application of the electrostatic potential at nuclei (EPN) as a reactivity index in quantifying hydrogen bonding as well as different reactions of organic compounds. The EPN index was defined and introduced by E. B. Wilson (1962). However, it was first applied as a reactivity index much later in works from our laboratory (Bobadova-Parvanova & Galabov, 1998; Galabov & Bobadova-Parvanova, 1999; Dimitrova, Ilieva, & Galabov, 2002; Cheshmedzhieva, Ilieva, Hadjieva, Trayanova, & Galabov, 2009; Galabov, Cheshmedzhieva, Ilieva, & Hadjieva, 2004; Galabov, Ileiva, & Schaefer, 2006; Galabov, Nikolova, Wilke, Schaefer, & Allen, 2008; Galabov, Ilieva, Hadjieva, Atanasov, & Schaefer, 2008; Koleva, Galabov, Wu, Schaefer, & Schleyer, 2009). Numerous applications showed that the EPN index, an accurate quantum mechanical quantity, predicts with remarkable accuracy the energy shifts accompanying hydrogen bonding. The theoretically evaluated EPN descriptor correlates also excellently with experimental and theoretically evaluated kinetic parameters for a number of important organic reactions. Based on these findings an efficient computational approach for the evaluation of substituent constants was developed.

A systematic evaluation of the CSD and the PDB in conjunction with DFT calculations reveal that non-covalent Carbon-bonding interactions with X–CH3 can be weakly directional in the solid state (P ≤ 1.5) when X = N or O. This is comparable to very weak CH hydrogen bonding interactions and is in line with the weak interaction energies calculated (≤ –1.5 kcal·mol−1) of typical charge neutral adducts such as [Me3N-CH3···OH2] (2a). The interaction energy is enhanced to ≤–5 kcal·mol−1 when X is more electron withdrawing such as in [O2N-CH3··O=Cdme] (20b) and to ≤18 kcal·mol−1 in cationic species like [Me3O+-CH3···OH2]+ (8a).

The title compound, (systematic name:N,N′-dibenzyl-3,3′-dimethoxy-1,1′-biphenyl-4,4′-diamine), C28H28N2O2, was synthesized by the reduction of a Schiff base preparedviaa condensation reaction betweeno-dianisidine and benzaldehyde under acidic conditions. The molecule lies on a crystallographic inversion centre so that the asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule. The biphenyl moiety compound is essentially planar. Two intramolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds occur. The dihedral angle between the terminal phenyl and phenylene rings of a benzidine unit is 48.68 (6)°. The methylene C atom of the benzyl group is disordered over two sets of sites, with occupancy ratio 0.779 (18):0.221 (18). In the crystal, molecules are connected by hydrogen bonding betweeno-dianisidine O atoms and H atoms of the terminal benzyl groups, forming a one-dimensional ladder-like structure. In the data from DFT calculations, the central biphenyl showed a twisted conformation.
