Abstract 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid (H3L1) and the complex [Cu(H2L1)2(H2O)2] were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The polyhedron of the copper atom is an axially elongated square bipyramid with oxygen atoms of phenolic and of monodeprotonated phosphonic groups at the base and oxygen atoms of water molecules at the vertices. The protonation constants of the H3L1 acid and the stability constants of its Cu2+ complexes in water were determined by potentiometric titration. The protonation constants of the acid in water are significantly influenced by the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the methoxy group. The H3L1 acid forms complexes CuL‒ and CuL24‒ with Cu2+ in water.

Semiempirical CNDO/2 method was used in the study of 23 quasiaromatic azulene analogues containing a hydrogen bridge A..H-D, where A and D denote O, NH, or S. The values of the stabilization energy, interaction energy, and changes of Wiberg's indexes suggest that the stability of the studied compounds is caused by a strong hydrogen bond as well as by a strong delocalization of the π-electron system. Derivatives in which A and D are O and NH are especially stable. Derivatives containing an oxo or thio group are preferred in tautomeric equilibriums.

AbstractThe complete analysis of the 1H/13 C NMR spectra of α-Pyrophthalone and related compounds demonstrates that the earlier static planar description of the molecules is invalid for polar sol-vents, and here the stability of any intramolecular hydrogen bond is small.

The structure of the title polymeric compound, [Cd(SCN)2(C6H8N2)2]n, exhibits a two-dimensional staircase-like structure parallel to (010) in which the CdIIatom lies on a twofold rotation axis and has a distorted octahedral CdS2N4geometry involving four μ-1,3-(SCN) group donors and two N-atom donors from 1,3-phenylenediamine ligands, which also have twofold symmetry. The major contributions to the cohesion and the stability of this two-dimensional polymeric structure are the covalent Cd—S,N bonds and one weak intralayer N—H...S hydrogen bond.

ABSTRACTExperimental and computational studies on mechanical unfolding of proteins suggest that rupture forces approach a limiting value of a few hundred pN at vanishing pulling velocities. We develop a fracture mechanics based theoretical framework that considers the free energy competition between entropic elasticity of polypeptide chains and rupture of peptide hydrogen bonds, which we use here to provide an explanation for the intrinsic strength limit of proteins. Our analysis predicts that individual protein domains stabilized by hydrogen bonds can not exhibit rupture forces larger than approximately ≈200 pN, regardless of the presence of a large number of hydrogen bonds. This result explains a wide range of experimental and computational observations.

The stability balance shows that the hydrogen bond network and modulation of pKavalues can enhance the metal binding affinity.
