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.

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.

<div> <p>A small organic cage molecule (<b>1</b>) containing six nitrile groups was crystallized in the presence of a number of guests with hydrogen bond donor groups, and from different solvents. In total, eight crystal structures of <b>1</b> were obtained, six of which are guest-free and two of which are co-crystals. When the guest was resorcinol or pyrogallol co-crystals did not form, but the presence of the guests directed formation of new crystalline phases that were not observed when the cage was crystallized alone. When the guest was hydroquinone or diaminobenzene, it was possible to isolate co-crystals where the guest hydrogen bonds to some of the nitrile groups of the cage. </p> </div> <br>

Abstract The concept of sustainable and green solvent has always highlighted in the field of energy and environmental science. The synthesis and application of natural-based Low Transition Temperature Mixture (LTTM) as a novel and green solvent for the lignocellulose biomass pre-treatment such as delignification of Oil-Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) have been greatly emphasized. In this present work, the investigation of LTTM efficiency as green solvent in delignification process was conducted using both theoretical and experimental studies. Initially, screening of solvation properties of different types of hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) and predicted hydrogen bond donor (HBD) for synthesis of LTTMs was conducted using conductor-like screening model (COSMO-RS) software and formation of hydrogen bonding was evidenced using NMR spectroscopy analysis. Three types of HBA namely sucrose, choline chloride and monosodium glutamate were mixed with malic acids as HBD and their charge density distribution on the surface was determined through sigma profile (σ). The COSMO-RS results determined the σ profile of pure component malic acid to be 11.42, sucrose to be 25.37 and the total value of σ profile for mixtures is 14.19 as the best combination of LTTM composition compared to LTTM from choline chloride and monosodium glutamate (MSG). The reliability of the COSMO-RS predictions data was correlated with Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) analysis through determination of peaks with chemical shifts hydrogen bonding that suggested existence of potential interaction between malic acids and sucrose has occurred.
