Abstract We present machine learning (ML) models for hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and hydrogen bond donor (HBD) strengths. Quantum chemical (QC) free energies in solution for 1:1 hydrogen-bonded complex formation to the reference molecules 4-fluorophenol and acetone serve as our target values. Our acceptor and donor databases are the largest on record with 4426 and 1036 data points, respectively. After scanning over radial atomic descriptors and ML methods, our final trained HBA and HBD ML models achieve RMSEs of 3.8 kJ mol−1 (acceptors), and 2.3 kJ mol−1 (donors) on experimental test sets, respectively. This performance is comparable with previous models that are trained on experimental hydrogen bonding free energies, indicating that molecular QC data can serve as substitute for experiment. The potential ramifications thereof could lead to a full replacement of wetlab chemistry for HBA/HBD strength determination by QC. As a possible chemical application of our ML models, we highlight our predicted HBA and HBD strengths as possible descriptors in two case studies on trends in intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

The crystal structures of three benzamide derivatives,viz. N-(6-hydroxyhexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C16H25NO5, (1),N-(6-anilinohexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C22H30N2O4, (2), andN-(6,6-diethoxyhexyl)-3,4,5-trimethoxybenzamide, C20H33NO6, (3), are described. These compounds differ only in the substituent at the end of the hexyl chain and the nature of these substituents determines the differences in hydrogen bonding between the molecules. In each molecule, them-methoxy substituents are virtually coplanar with the benzyl ring, while thep-methoxy substituent is almost perpendicular. The carbonyl O atom of the amide rotamer istransrelated with the amidic H atom. In each structure, the benzamide N—H donor group and O acceptor atoms link the molecules intoC(4) chains. In1, a terminal –OH group links the molecules into aC(3) chain and the combined effect of theC(4) andC(3) chains is a ribbon made up of screw relatedR22(17) rings in which the ...O—H... chain lies in the centre of the ribbon and the trimethoxybenzyl groups forms the edges. In2, the combination of the benzamideC(4) chain and the hydrogen bond formed by the terminal N—H group to an O atom of the 4-methoxy group link the molecules into a chain ofR22(17) rings. In3, the molecules are linked only byC(4) chains.

As an exercise in crystal engineering, low-temperature X-ray structures were determined for six rationally designed ionic solids of general formula BH+(MeSO2)2N−, where BH+ is 2-aminopyridinium (2, monoclinic, space group P21/c, Z = 4), 2-aminopyrimidinium (3, orthorhombic, Pbca, Z = 8), 2-aminothiazolium (4, orthorhombic, Pbcn, Z = 8), 2-amino-6-methylpyridinium (5, solvated with 0.5 H20, monoclinic, C2/c, Z = 8), 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazolium (6, triclinic, P1̄, Z = 2), or 2-amino-4,6-dimethylpyrimidinium (7, orthorhombic. Fdd2, Z = 16). The onium cations in question exhibit a trifunctional hydrogen-bond donor sequence H − N (H*)-C (sp2) − N − H , which is complementary to an O − S (sp3)−N fragment of the anion and simultaneously expected to form a third hydrogen bond via the exocyclic N − H* donor. Consequently, all the crystal packings contain cation-anion pairs assembled by an N − H ∙∙∙ N and an N −H ∙∙∙ O hydrogen bond, these substructures being mutually associated through an N − H* ∙∙∙ O bond. For the robust eight-membered ring synthon within the ion pairs [graph set N2 = R22(8), antidromic], two supramolecular isomers were observed: In 2 and 3, N − H ∙∙∙ N originates from the ring NH donor and N − H ∙∙∙ O from the exocyclic amino group, whereas in 4-7 these connectivities are reversed. The third hydrogen bond, N − H*∙∙∙ O , leads either to chains of ion pairs (generated by a 21 transformation in 2-4 or by a glide plane in 5) or to cyclic dimers of ion pairs (Ci symmetric in 6, C2-symmetric in 7). The overall variety of motifs observed in a small number of structures reflects the limits imposed on the prediction of hydrogen bonding patterns. Owing to the excess of potential acceptors over traditional hydrogen-bond donors, several of the structures display prominent non-classical secondary bonding. Thus, the cyclodimeric units of 6 are associated into strands through short antiparallel O ∙∙∙ S(cation) interactions. In the hemihydrate 5, two independent C-H(cation) ∙∙∙ O bonds generate a second antidromic R22(8) pattern, leading to sheets composed of N − H ∙∙∙ N/O connected catemers; the water molecules are alternately sandwiched between and O - H ∙∙∙ O bonded to the sheets to form bilayers, which are cross-linked by a third C − H (cation ) ∙∙∙ O contact. The roof-shaped cyclodimers occurring in 7 occupy the polar C2 axes parallel to z and build up hollow Car− H ∙∙∙ O bonded tetrahedral lattices; in order to fill their large empty cavities, five translationally equivalent lattices mutually interpenetrate.

CF2H-Pseudoprolines obtained from difluoroacetaldehyde hemiacetal and serine are stable proline surrogates. An intramolecular H-bond due to the CF2H group is promoting an exceptionally high content of cis-amide bond conformation.
