Computed nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS), contour plots of isotropic magnetic shielding (IMS), and gauge-including magnetically induced current (GIMIC) plots suggest that polarization of the π-system of acridones may perturb the...

Illusive Au<sup>I/III</sup>···H hydrogen bonds and their effect on structure and dynamics of molecules have been a matter of debate. While a number of X-ray studies reported gold compounds with short Au<sup>I/III</sup>···H contacts, a solid spectroscopic evidence for Au<sup>I/III</sup>···H bonding has been missing. Recently<a></a><a>, Bakar <i>et al.</i></a> (NATURE COMMUNICATIONS 8:576) reported compound with four short Au···H contacts (2.61­–2.66 Å; X-ray determined). Assuming the central cluster be [Au<sub>6</sub>]<sup>2+</sup>and observing the <sup>1</sup>H (<sup>13</sup>C) NMR resonances at relevant H(C) nuclei deshielded with respect to precursor compound, the authors concluded with reservations that <i>“the present Au···H–C interaction is a kind of “hydrogen bond”, where the [Au<sub>6</sub>]<sup>2+</sup>serves as an acceptor”</i>. Here, we show that the Au<sub>6</sub>cluster in their compound bears negative charge and the Au···H contacts lead to a weak (~1 kcal/mol) auride···hydrogen bonding interactions, though unimportant for the overall stability of<b></b>the molecule. Additionally, computational analysis of NMR chemical shifts reveals that the deshielding effects at respective hydrogen nuclei are not directly related to Au···H–C hydrogen bonding .

The position of the proton signals in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of sulfanes (H2Sx) is dependent on the sulfur chain length, the sulfane concentration, and the temperature. These proton chemical shifts are interpreted in terms of sulfane–sulfane interactions and intramolecular hydrogen bonding in sulfanes. Supporting evidence is provided by the position and appearance of the SH-absorption bands of the sulfanes in the infrared, which also establishes the existence of sulfane–solvent interactions.It is concluded that sulfanes participate in hydrogen bonding interactions and it is suggested that there may be a special type of intramolecular hydrogen bonding operative in H2S3.

Triply β-dicarbonyl-embedded 1,3,5-triazine derivatives result in formation of circular linkage of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding interactions, which can be regarded as well-delocalized resonance hybrids.
