The infrared absorption spectra of partially deuterated o-phenylenediamine and 4,5-di-methyl-, 4-methyl-, and 4-chloro-o-phenylenediamine in dilute CCl4 solution show double intramolecular [Formula: see text] hydrogen bonds in which the two NHD groups are equivalent and each group acts as both a proton donor and a proton acceptor. The ring substituent effect on this interaction in these compounds is small. In 4-methoxy-o-phenylenediamine, the amino groups are not equivalent, but double intramolecular hydrogen bonds are still present. In 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine, only one intramolecular [Formula: see text] hydrogen bond appears to exist. The effect of N-substitution on some of these observations is discussed.

Abstract3∞[Al(H2PO4)3] has been prepared and characterized as a second modification of aluminium tris(dihydrogenphosphate). Its crystal structure is a three-dimensional Al-O-P network of AlO6 octahedra, linked by common vertices through O2P(OH)2 tetrahedra with six further octahedra. Each P-OH group is a proton donor as well as a proton acceptor of O-H···O hydrogen bonds arranged in angular chains of alternating polarity in macroscopic domains.

The structures of novel cocrystals of 4-nitropyridine N-oxide with benzenesulfonamide derivatives, namely, 4-nitrobenzenesulfonamide–4-nitropyridine N-oxide (1/1), C5H4N2O3·C6H6N2O4S, and 4-chlorobenzenesulfonamide–4-nitropyridine N-oxide (1/1), C6H6ClNO2S·C5H4N2O3, are stabilized by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, with the sulfonamide group acting as a proton donor. The O atoms of the N-oxide and nitro groups are acceptors in these interactions. The latter is a double acceptor of bifurcated hydrogen bonds. Previous studies on similar crystal structures indicated competition between these functional groups in the formation of hydrogen bonds, with the priority being for the N-oxide group. In contrast, the present X-ray studies indicate the existence of a hydrogen-bonding synthon including N—H...O(N-oxide) and N—H...O(nitro) bridges. We present here a more detailed analysis of the N-oxide–sulfonamide–nitro N—H...O ternary complex with quantum theory computations and the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM) approach. Both interactions are present in the crystals, but the O atom of the N-oxide group is found to be a more effective proton acceptor in hydrogen bonds, with an interaction energy about twice that of the nitro-group O atoms.

The self-association of phosphonic acids with general formula RP(O)(OH)2 in solution state remains largely unexplored. The general understanding is that such molecules form multiple intermolecular hydrogen bonds, but the stoichiometry of self-associates and the bonding motifs are unclear. In this work, we report the results of the study of self-association of tert-butylphosphonic acid using low temperature liquid-state 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy (100 K; CDF3/CDF2Cl) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. For the first time, we demonstrate conclusively that polar aprotic medium tert-butylphosphonic acid forms highly symmetric cage-like tetramers held by eight OHO hydrogen bonds, which makes the complex quite stable. In these associates. each phosphonic acid molecule is bonded to three other molecules by forming two hydrogen bonds as proton donor and two hydrogen bonds as proton acceptor. Though the structure of such cage-like tetramers is close to tetrahedral, the formal symmetry of the self-associate is C2.
