A combined experimental and theoretical study of one oxaphosphinane derivative was made on the basis of a topological analysis of its electron density distributions. The electron density was determined from a high-resolution X-ray diffraction data set measured with synchrotron radiation at 100 K, whereas theoretical calculations were performed using density functional theory (DFT) methods at th...

We characterize a highly unusual, charged NH-O hydrogen bond formed within esters of 8-(dimethylamino)naphthalen-1-ol in which an ammonium ion serves as an intramolecular hydrogen bond donor to spatially proximate ester ether oxygen atoms. Infrared spectroscopic analysis of the ester carbonyl frequencies demonstrates significant blue-shifting when ether hydrogen bonding is possible, in stark co...

Crystal structures of Schiff bases containing pyridoxal (PL), N-(pyridoxylidene)-tolylamine, C(15)H(16)N(2)O(2) (I), N-(pyridoxylidene)-methylamine, C(9)H(12)N(2)O(2) (III), and their 1:1 adduct with 2-nitrobenzoic acid, (I)(+) C(7)H(4)NO_4;- (II), and 4-nitrobenzoic acid, (III)(+) C(7)H(4)NO_4;- (IV), serve as models for the coenzyme pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP) in its PLP-dependent enzymes. T...

Theoretical calculations at the MP2 level, NBO and AIM analysis, and matrix-isolation infrared spectroscopy have been used to investigate the structure of the isolated molecule of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO). Sixty-five structures were found to be minima on the potential energy surface, and the three most stable forms are characterized by a folded backbone conformation leading to the formation of ...

Acid-base catalyzed glycosyl donor and then glycosyl acceptor activation with phenylboron difluoride or diphenylboron fluoride permits hydrogen bond mediated intramolecular S(N)2-type glycosidation in generally high anomeric selectivity.

The title compound, C(13)H(12)N(2)O(3), has an E configuration with respect to the C=N bond: the conformation is stabilized by an intramolecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bond. In the crystal, an N-H⋯O interaction links the molecules into a C(4) chain along [100].

Infrared-ultraviolet double resonance spectroscopy has been applied to study the infrared spectra of the supersonically cooled gas phase complexes of formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, formamide, and water with 9-hydroxy-9-fluorenecarboxylic acid (9HFCA), an analog of glycolic acid. In these complexes each binding partner to 9HFCA can function as both proton donor and acceptor. Relative ...

The title compound, C(17)H(21)N(3)O(3), has a Z configuration about the N=N double bond. The molecular conformation is stabilized by intramolecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds.

In the title compound, C(12)H(15)NO(3), all C, N and O atoms lie in a mirror plane. An intramolecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is present.
