As the charge increases, the charge–dipole interaction becomes stronger and distorts the planar G-tetrad geometry formed by hydrogen bonding.

Liquid DBSO shows mesoscopic polar/apolar alternation. Dipole–dipole interactions are responsible for correlations between DBSO molecules that do not interact through hydrogen bonding.

A new synthetic peptide is presented. A Glu residue binds through H-bonding to a guanine-base and a Trp residue intercalates with K+ resulting in stabilization of a human telomeric G-quadruplex with high selectivity over a complementary c-rich strand and double-stranded DNA.

Fragility fracture as a mode of pathologic failure in bone is a major healthcare concern and has adverse consequences with respect to morbidity, cost and to a lesser extent mortality. Understanding the structure/composition and functional relationships among the bone constituents is an important step towards prevention/treatment of fragility fractures.


Measurements have been made of the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetic contributions to the specific heat of dysprosium ethyl sulphate, at temperatures between 20 and 1°K. It is shown that below about 3°K these properties, and also the earlier optical rotation measure­ments of Becquerel et al ., can be accounted for satisfactorily in terms of a doubly degenerate ground state of the magnetic ions, with spectroscopic splitting factors parallel and perpen­dicular to the crystal axis g 1 = 10.8 and g ┴ = 0, together with an unusually strong coupling between the ions arising from magnetic dipole-dipole interaction. The effect of other inter­actions is shown to be small. Because of this, and the extreme anisotropy of the g -tensor, the properties of this substance at very low temperatures (~ 0.1°K) should closely resemble those of a classical Ising model with known, dipolar forces between the ions. At temperatures above 3°K other states of the ions become populated and it is shown that the first of these lies at an energy of (23 ± 3) k , in good agreement with other experiments.

Adsorption of the carcinogen aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) onto agro-waste-based materials is a promising alternative over conventional inorganic binders. In the current study, two unmodified adsorbents were eco-friendly prepared from kale and lettuce agro-wastes. A dynamic gastrointestinal tract-simulated model was utilized to evaluate the removal efficiency of the sorptive materials (0.5%, w/w) when added to an AFB1-contaminated diet (100 µg AFB1/kg). Different characterization methodologies were employed to understand the interaction mechanisms between the AFB1 molecule and the biosorbents. Based on adsorption results, the biosorbent prepared from kale was the best; its maximum adsorption capacity was 93.6%, which was significantly higher than that of the lettuce biosorbent (83.7%). Characterization results indicate that different mechanisms may act simultaneously during adsorption. Non-electrostatic (hydrophobic interactions, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding) and electrostatic interactions (ionic attractions) together with the formation of AFB1-chlorophyll complexes appear to be the major influencing factors driving AFB1 biosorption.

Dipolar versions of two qualitatively different types of simple short range model fluids which exhibit the phenomenon of hydrogen bonding and which could thus serve as a reference in equations of state for associating fluids have been considered: the primitive model of water descending from the TIP4P model and the fluid of hard tetrahedra. The hydrogen bonding structure exhibited by the latter model results from purely repulsive interactions whereas in the first model the “hydrogen bonding interaction” is explicitly incorporated in the model. Since the water molecules bear a strong dipole moment, the effect of the added dipole-dipole interaction on the structure of the two short-range models is therefore examined considering them both in the full and screened dipole-dipole modifications. It is found that the hydrogen bonding structure in the primitive model resulting from the site-site interactions is so strong that the additional dipole-dipole interaction has only a marginal effect on its structure and contributes thus only to the internal energy. On the contrary, even only a weak dipole-dipole interaction destroys the original hydrogen bonding structure of the hard tetrahedron fluid; to preserve it, a screened dipole-dipole interaction has to be used in the equation of state development.

Unusual effects of intramolecular hydrogen bonds and dipole interactions are investigated using FTIR, NMR and X-Ray crystallography analyses of some imines. These phenomena affect both FTIR absorptions and chemical shifts.
