A 1 TS J F,H(O) coupling pathway, dictated by a hydrogen bond, in some 2-fluorobenzoic acids has been observed, while such an interaction does not occur in 2-fluorophenol. Thus, this work reports the conformational analysis of 2-fluorophenylboronic acid (1), in order to evaluate a possible intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in comparison to an nF→pB interaction, which mimics the quantum nF→σ*OH hydrogen bond that would be expected in 2-fluorophenol. 2-Fluorophenylborane (3), which does not experience hydrogen bonding, was used to verify whether nF→pB interaction governs the conformational equilibrium in 1 due to a predominant OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond or to other effects. A series of 2-X-phenylboranes (X = Cl, Br, NH2, PH2, OH and SH) were further computationally analyzed to search for electron donors to boron, capable of influencing the conformational equilibrium. Overall, the intramolecular OH∙∙∙F hydrogen bond in 1 is quite stabilizing and dictates the 1 h J F,H(O) coupling constant. Moreover, electron donation to the empty p orbital of boron (for noncoplanar BH2 moiety relative to the phenyl ring) is also significantly stabilizing for the NH2 and PH2 derivatives, but not enough to make the corresponding conformers appreciably populated, because of steric effects and the loss of πCC→pB resonance. Thus, the results found earlier for 2-fluorophenol about the lack of intramolecular hydrogen bonding are now corroborated.

The molecular structure and electrochemical behaviour of a series of 2′-hydroxychalcones were studied. Results show the importance of the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the methoxy substituent pattern on the redox properties of these compounds.

Structures of the salts I–IV formed by 3,6-dihydrazido-1,2,4,5-tetrazine with HNO3, HN(NO2)2, HClO4, and HC(NO2)3, respectively, were studied using dispersion-corrected density functional theory. The intramolecular hydrogen bond energies of I–IV were estimated using the quantum theory of atoms in molecules. The total hydrogen bond energies (EH,tot) have the order of I (65.60 kcal/mol) > II (46.24 kcal/mol) > III (39.13 kcal/mol) > IV (19.68 kcal/mol). In addition, the charge transfer (q), binding energy (Eb), lattice energy (HL), dispersion energy (Edis), and second-order perturbation energy (E2) were evaluated for studying the intramolecular interactions between the cation and anion. Linear relationships exist between any two of EH,tot, qtot, Eb, and E2,tot. HLs have the same variation trend as h50s (characteristic height) and may be used as the indicator of impact sensitivity. The HOMOs and LUMOs of I–IV are derived from the HOMOs of the isolated anions and the LUMOs of the isolated cations, respectively. Ultraviolet spectra of I–IV have the strongest absorptions at around 442, 445, 427, and 587 nm, respectively. The excitations HOMO→LUMO to HOMO–7→LUMO play important roles in the first three excited states.

The decisive role of an intramolecular NH⋯OP hydrogen bond in the formation of a dimethyl phosphonato iridium(i) complex is shown.


Observations of phenol-benzene and ammonia—benzene complexes in the gas phase show that hydrogen bonds link their proton donors to the π electrons of the benzene with a bond energy of between 2 and 4 kcal mol -1 , large enough to be biologically significant. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds between OH and NH donors and aromatic acceptors have also been found in crystal structures of organic compounds. NH-aromatic interactions stabilize x-helices if donors and acceptors occur at successive turns of the helix. These interactions also contribute to the stability of several proteins and play an important part in cellular and synaptic signal transmission.
