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 loss factor (tanδ) and glass transition temperature (Tg) are two important parameters for evaluating damping properties. Hydrogen bonds (H bonds) play an important role in improving damping properties. In this work, the effect of the hydrogen bond strength and number on the damping properties was studied. Four hindered phenols with different steric hindrances were used to form hydrogen bonds with different strengths to mediate tanδ and Tg. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that hindered phenol content lower than 38 wt% led to a linear increase in tanδ and Tg because of the formation of H bonds. The Kwei equation was used to explain the relationship between H bonds and tanδ. When the content was higher than 38 wt%, the small molecule-hindered phenols can be divided into two categories: those that can maintain a good miscibility, thus continuously increasing the tanδ, and those that make tanδ increase slowly or decrease because of poor miscibility. These results demonstrated that tanδ is closely related to both hydrogen bond strength and number. The degree of hindrance of the hydroxyl group determines the hydrogen bond strength, whereas the miscibility determines the number.

The presence of intramolecular NH...O=C bonds was proved in N-substituted N'-(2-fluorobenzoyl)thiourea derivatives by analysis of their infrared spectra. The intramolecular vibrational effects bring about a shift of the ν(NH) vibrational band to lower frequencies to the extent that the band gets into a vicinity to the δ(NH) overtone and Fermi resonance occurs between them. In addition, the ν(NH) vibration is also affected by Fermi resonance with the ν(CO) + δ(NH) combination. Double absorption bands were observed in the ν(CO) region for some of the derivatives. Based on perturbation theory applied to three-level interactions and using the Langseth and Lord equations, the band frequencies corrected for Fermi resonance were calculated and the hydrogen bond strength was examined in the compounds studied.

In molecules with two functional groups that form hydrogen bonds, the strength of intramolecular hydrogen bonds does not depend significantly on the structure.
