Special Issue: Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding

Special issue: intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Intramolecular hydrogen bonds play critical structure- and function-serving roles in biological and synthetic molecular systems. This special issue, through eight contributions, showcases the prominence of these non-covalent interactions within several scientific disciplines, and in various structural contexts and environments. Reported, for example, are the consequences of intramolecular hydro...

Conventional and Unconventional Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding in some Beta-diketones

This study presents our view of unconventional and conventional intramolecular hydrogen bonds (HBs) for some beta-diketones theoretically and experimentally. According to our results, the groups such as Phenyl and t-But in beta positions increase and CF3 group decrease IHB strength, respectively. For better understanding of the substitution effects, the compounds with similar and different subs...

Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in flavin adenine dinucleotide.

Data obtained by means of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicate that specific association of FMN occurs with AMP in aqueous solution, because much weaker interaction is observed with FMN of either GMP or CMP. A comparison of FAD with a 1:1 mixture of FMN and AMP suggests that the flavin is involved in an intramolecular hydrogen bonding with the adenine moiety of FAD. The temperature d...

Intramolecular C-H···O hydrogen bonding in 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives.

The diastereotopy of the methylene protons at positions 2 and 6 in 1,4-dihydropiridine derivatives with various substituents has been investigated. NMR spectroscopy and quantum chemistry calculations show that the CH···O intramolecular hydrogen bond is one of the factors amplifying the chemical shift differences in the 1H-NMR spectra.
