From an interplay of high-resolution STM imaging/manipulation and DFT calculations, we have revealed that different self-assembled nanostructures of BA molecules on Cu(110) are attributable to specific molecular adsorption geometries, and thus the corresponding intermolecular hydrogen bonding patterns. The STM manipulations demonstrate the feasibility of switching such weak-hydrogen-bonding pat...

Pale-yellow crystals of the title compound, C(10)H(9)NO, have been obtained by the reaction of benzyl-amine and methyl propiolate. Weak inter-molecular hydrogen bonding is observed between acetyl-enic H and carbonyl O atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by these C-H⋯O and by N-H⋯O inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

In the title compound, C(6)H(16)NO(3) (+)·C(7)H(4)NS(2) (-), the cations and anions are connected by O-H⋯N and O-H⋯S hydrogen bonding. Weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding between adjacent cations helps to stabilize the crystal structure.

The title mol-ecule, C8H12NO5PS2, exhibits a crystallographic mirror plane that is perpendicular to the ring and bis-ects the sulfamoyl and thio-phosphate ester groups. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions reminiscent of carb-oxy-lic acid hydrogen bonding pairs, forming chains parallel to the b-axis direction.

A simple organic molecular container can selectively encapsulate the volatile and highly reactive MeI through hydrogen-bonding interactions in solution. The remarkable encapsulation of MeI without self-methylation of the container appears to be determined by the complementary binding sites and the rigidity of the hydrogen-bonding array constrained by the molecular framework.

Ir(I)-induced tautomerization of a pyridine moiety to a carbene in 2,3-bipyridyls has been successfully achieved where an amide group plays a key role as a hydrogen-bonding acceptor and the carbene tautomer is stabilized by both chelation effect and by hydrogen-bonding.

Hydrogen bonding in a [2]rotaxane is shown to stabilise the phenolate anion of a coumaric amide chromophore by almost 3 pKa units; however, the effect on the UV spectral shift in the anion is small and, significantly given the photochemistry of PYP, despite the hydrogen bonding olefin photoisomerisation in the anionic rotaxane remains heavily suppressed.

The title compound, C(9)H(8)N(4)S·C(3)H(7)NO, adopts an E configuration about both the C=N and C-N bonds. Inter-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding links the compound to the DMF solvent molecule. The crystal packing is characterized by chains of mol-ecules linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯S hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.

X-ray crystallography showcases the distinct self-association and hydrogen-bonding patterns of organic silanediols, R2Si(OH)2, with bifunctional heterocycles for supramolecular assembly. Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) studies identify the dominant hydrogen-bonding patterns and structures in solution, which correlate with solid-state patterns at high concentrations.
