The hydrogen-bonded interactions in the simple (HNZ)2 dimers, with Z = O and S, were investigated using quantum chemical calculations with the second-order Møller–Plesset perturbation (MP2), coupled-cluster with single, double (CCSD), and triple excitations (CCSD(T)) methods in conjunction with the 6-311++G(2d,2p), aug-cc-pVDZ, and aug-cc-pVTZ basis sets. Six-membered cyclic structures were found to be stable complexes for the dimers (HNO)2, (HNS)2, and (HNO–HNS). The pair (HNS)2 has the largest complexation energy (–11 kJ/mol), and (HNO)2 the smallest one (–9 kJ/mol). A bond length contraction and a frequency blue shift of the N–H bond simultaneously occur upon hydrogen bond formation of the N–H···S type, which has rarely been observed before. The stronger the intramolecular hyperconjugation and the lower the polarization of the X–H bond involved as proton donor in the hydrogen bond, the more predominant is the formation of a blue-shifting hydrogen bond.

The crystal structures of four indole derivatives with various substituents at the 2-, 3- and 5-positions of the ring system are described, namely, ethyl 3-(5-chloro-2-phenyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-3-phenylpropanoate, C25H22ClNO2, (I), 2-bromo-3-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)-1H-indole, C16H13BrN2O2, (II), 5-methoxy-3-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)-2-phenyl-1H-indole, C23H20N2O3, (III), and 5-chloro-3-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)-2-phenyl-1H-indole, C22H17ClN2O2, (IV). The dominant intermolecular interaction in each case is an N—H...O hydrogen bond, which generates either chains or inversion dimers. Weak C—H...O, C—H...π and π–π interactions occur in these structures but there is no consistent pattern amongst them. Two of these compounds act as modest enhancers of CB1 cannabanoid signalling and two are inactive.

AbstractThe excited states of cis-trans formic acid dimer and its monomers have been investigated by time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) method. The formation of intermolecular hydrogen bonds O1-H1...O2=C2 and C2-H2...O4=C1 induces bond length lengthening of the groups related to the hydrogen bond, while that of the C2-H2 group is shortened. It is demonstrated that the red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 and blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened when excited to the S1 state. Moreover, it is found that the groups related to the formation of red-shift hydrogen bond O1-H1...O2=C2 are both strengthened in the S1 state, while the groups related to the blue-shift hydrogen bond C2-H2...O4=C1 are both weakened. This will provide information for the photochemistry and photophysical study of red- and blue-shift hydrogen bond.

We present new dispersion and hydrogen bond corrections to the PM6 method, PM6-D3H+, and its implementation in the GAMESS program. The method combines the DFT-D3 dispersion correction by Grimme et al with a modified version of the H+ hydrogen bond correction by Korth. Overall, the interaction energy of PM6-D3H+ is very similar to PM6-DH2 and PM6-DH+, with RMSD and MAD values within 0.02 kcal/mol of one another. The main difference is that the geometry optimizations of 88 complexes result in 82, 6, 0, and 0 geometries with 0, 1, 2, and $\ge$ 3 imaginary frequencies using PM6-D3H+ implemented in GAMESS, while the corresponding numbers for PM6-DH+ implemented in MOPAC are 54, 17, 15, and 2. The PM6-D3H+ method as implemented in GAMESS offers an attractive alternative to PM6-DH+ in MOPAC in cases where the LBFGS optimizer must be used and a vibrational analysis is needed, e.g. when computing vibrational free energies. While the GAMESS implementation is up to 10 times slower for geometry optimizations of proteins in bulk solvent, compared to MOPAC, it is sufficiently fast to make geometry optimizations of small proteins practically feasible.
