Visible, near-infrared (NIR) and IR spectra in the 15600-2500 cm(-1) region were measured for phenol and 2,6-difluorophenol, 2,6-dichlorophenol, and 2,6-dibromophenol in n-hexane, CCl(4), CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2) to study hydrogen bonding effects and solvent dependences of wavenumbers and absorption intensities of the fundamental and the first, second, and third overtones of OH stretching vibrati...

The structures of the mono- and the dihalogenated N-unsubstituted 2-aminobenzamides were characterized by means of the spectroscopic (¹H-NMR, UV-Vis, FT-IR, and FT-Raman) and X-ray crystallographic techniques complemented with a density functional theory (DFT) method. The hindered rotation of the C(O)-NH₂ single bond resulted in non-equivalence of the amide protons and therefore two distinct re...

“Molecular mechanics”-large-scale computer modeling of molecular structure and function-has become one of the most rapidly expanding activities in chemistry and biology. As increasing numbers of scientists turn to these semiempirical computer codes in order to design new drugs, catalysts, artificial enzymes, etc., our incomplete knowledge of the. “weak interactions” of chemistry-van der Waals f...

The synthesis of heterocyclic thioureas from heterocyclic amines with phenylor methylisothiocyanate or CS2 is described. Seven new X-ray crystal structures are reported: In N-(3-pyridyl)-N0-phenylthiourea (Pna21, a = 10.1453(3), b = 17.6183(5), c = 6.4787(2), V = 1158.02(6), Z = 4) hydrogen-bonding results in formation of a 3D network consisting of helices, which form channels parallel to the c...
