It is generally expected that the hydrogen bond strength in a D–H•••A adduct is predicted by the difference between the proton affinities (Δ PA) of D and A, measured by the adduct stabilization, and demonstrated by the infrared (IR) redshift of the D–H bond stretching vibrational frequency. These criteria do not always yield consistent predictions, as illustrated by the hydrogen bonds formed by the E and Z OH groups of protonated carboxylic acids. The Δ PA and the stabilization of a series of hydrogen bonded adducts indicate that the E OH group forms the stronger hydrogen bonds, whereas the bond length changes and the redshift favor the Z OH group, matching the results of NBO and AIM calculations. This reflects that the thermochemistry of adduct formation is not a good measure of the hydrogen bond strength in charged adducts, and that the ionic interactions in the E and Z adducts of protonated carboxylic acids are different. The OH bond length and IR redshift afford the better measure of hydrogen bond strength.

Abstract The tendency of forming mixed carboxyl-to-oxime hydrogen bonds was tested on the series of bornane derivatives: one with the acid function only (bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid), one with the oxime function (2,2′-diethylthiobomane-3-oxime), and one with both oxime and carboxylic functions (bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid). The crystal structures of these compounds were determined by means of X-ray diffraction. In bornane-2-endo-carboxylic acid and 2,2′-diethylthiobornane-3-oxime 'homogenic' hydrogen bonds were found, and these hydrogen bonds close eight-and six-membered rings, respectively. By contrast, in bornane-2-oxime-3-endo-carboxylic acid 'heterogenic' hydrogen bonds between carboxylic and oxime bonds were found. This carboxylic-oxime, or 'carboxyoxime' system is almost always present in compounds which have both oxime and carboxylic groups; therefore it can be regarded as an element of supramolecular structures (synthon). The presence of such synthons can break the tendency of carboxylic acids and oximes towards crystallizing in centrosymmetric structures.
