The effects of hydrogen bond interactions upon ionization potentials (IPs) and electron affinities (EAs) of adenine–formamide (AF) complexes have been investigated employing the density functional theory B3LYP. It is found that the hydrogen bond interactions between adenine and formamide play a more important role in the process of electron attachment than in the process of electron detachment. Meanwhile, the hydrogen bond interactions facilitate the adiabatical electron detachment and attachment but have different effects on the vertical electron detachment and attachment with different positions of formamide. Furthermore, when the complexes were dissociated to the free monomers, the processes AF - → A - + F and AF + → A + + F are energetically preferable for AF- and AF+, respectively.

AbstractCatechin – a natural polyphenol substance – has excellent antioxidant properties for the treatment of diseases, especially for cholesterol lowering. Catechin can reduce cholesterol content in micelles by forming insoluble precipitation with cholesterol, thereby reducing the absorption of cholesterol in the intestine. In this study, to better understand the molecular mechanism of catechin and cholesterol, we studied the interaction between typical catechins and cholesterol by the density functional theory. Results show that the adsorption energies between the four catechins and cholesterol are obviously stronger than that of cholesterol themselves, indicating that catechin has an advantage in reducing cholesterol micelle formation. Moreover, it is found that the molecular interactions of the complexes are mainly due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of the catechins as well as the hydrogen bond interactions. Unlike the intuitive understanding of a complex formed by hydrogen bond interaction, which is positively correlated with the number of hydrogen bonds, the most stable complexes (epicatechin–cholesterol or epigallocatechin–cholesterol) have only one but stronger hydrogen bond, due to charge transfer of the aromatic rings of catechins.

Two polymorphs (α, β) of pyrazinium hydrogen sulfate (pyzH+HSO_4^-, abbreviated as PHS) with distinctly different hydrogen-bond types and topologies but close electronic energies have been synthesized and characterized for the first time. The α-polymorph (P212121) forms distinct blocks in which the pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions are interconnected through a network of NH...O and OH...O hydrogen bonds. The β-form (P\bar 1) consists of infinite chains of alternating pyzH+ and HSO_4^- ions connected by NH...O and OH...N hydrogen bonds. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate the possible existence of a hypothetical polar P1 form of the β-polymorph with an unusually high dipole moment.
