In the title compound, C(12)H(12)O(5), mol-ecules are linked into anti-parallel hydrogen-bonded sheets through inversion dimers generated via two O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Using the R(2) (2)(8) motif as a building block, hydrogen-bonded chains of a C(2) (2)(8) superstructure are then generated.

Hydrogen bond dynamics are explicated with exceptional detail using multidimensional infrared vibrational echo correlation spectroscopy with full phase information. Probing the hydroxyl stretch of methanol-OD oligomers in CCl4, the dynamics of the evolving hydrogen bonded network are measured with ultrashort (<50 fs) pulses. The data along with detailed model calculations demonstrate that vibra...

The measurement of the dimerization constants of hydrogen-bonded ruthenium complexes (12, 22, 32) linked by a self-complementary pair of 4-pyridylcarboxylic acid ligands in different redox states is reported. Using a combination of FTIR and UV/vis/NIR spectroscopies, the dimerization constants (KD) of the isovalent, neutral states, 12, 22, 32, were found to range from 75 to 130 M-1 (ΔG0 = -2.56...

The stacking interactions between FH--N hydrogen-bonded foldamers 1-3, bis-foldamer 4, and tris-foldamer 5 and C(60) and C(70) are described. Compound 4 contains two folded units, which are connected by an isophthalamide linker, whereas 5 has a C(3)-symmetrical discotic structure, in which three folded units are connected by a benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide unit. UV/Vis, fluorescence, and NMR exp...

Abstract: The organic/inorganic hybrid materials from polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS, inorganic nanoparticles) and polybenzoxazine (PBZ) have received much interesting recently due to their excellent thermal and mechanical properties, flame retardance, low dielectric constant, well-defined inorganic framework at nanosized scale level, and higher performance relative to those of non-...

Ionic liquids based on 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium cations and the hydrogen sulfate (or bisulfate) anion, HSO(4)(-), are much more viscous than ionic liquids with alkyl sulfates, RSO(4)(-). The structural origin of the high viscosity of HSO(4)(-) ionic liquids is unraveled from detailed comparison of the anion Raman bands in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium hydrogen sulfate and 1-butyl-3-methylimida...

The crystal of the title compound, C(6)H(9)N(3)·C(7)H(6)O(2), contains tetra-meric hydrogen-bonded units comprising a central pair of 2-amino-pyrimidine mol-ecules linked across a centre of inversion by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds and two pendant benzoic acid mol-ecules attached through N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. These hydrogen-bonded units are arranged into layers in (002).

Ordered porous solid-state architectures constructed via non-covalent supramolecular self-assembly have attracted increasing interest due to their unique advantages and potential applications. Porous metal-coordination organic frameworks (MOFs) are generated by the assembly of metal coordination centers and organic linkers. Compared to MOFs, porous hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) are ...

In the framework of the one-component model for hydrogen-bonded chains developed by Zolotaryuk and Pnevmatikos [Phys. Lett. A 143 (1990) 233], we study analytically and numerically breather excitations in the continuum and the discrete-carrier limits. We demonstrate that the breathers show high-stability properties especially in the case when the on-site potential is symmetric. We also consider...
