The stereochemistry of dl-glycerol 3-phosphate was studied by X-ray-crystallographic techniques. All the bond lengths and angles are within normally accepted limits except the ester bond, which is one of the largest yet noted, being 0.1637nm. The conformation of the molecule is such that an intramolecular hydrogen bond is formed between the hydroxyl group on the β-carbon atom and the phosphate group. The crystal, which was grown by alcohol diffusion into an aqueous solution, is held together by sodium co-ordination and a complex system of hydrogen bonds. A table of the observed and calculated structure factors, ǀFobs.ǀ and Fcalc., has been deposited as Supplementary Publication 50010 at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks.

The synthesis of 2,2-dimethyl-5-hydroxychromene (1d) is described. The synthesis of the analogous 5,7-dihydroxy derivatives, using similar conditions, yields the adduct 9 derived via a Bucherer type reaction. X-ray analysis of 9 demonstrated that a pyrrolidine group was in the 7-position, and that the 5-hydroxyl group was involved in a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond to the 4-keto oxygen atom.

Two new linker-type molecules 1a and 1b composed of o-hydroxyacetophenone coordinative groups attached to linear ethynylene or 1,4-phenylenediethynylene spacer units have been synthesised and structurally characterised. An X-ray crystallographic study for both compounds has shown structures with strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds fitting in the model of ‘Intramolecular Resonance Assisted Hydrogen Bond (IRHAB)’. Initial coordination experiments with Cu(II) were performed and the resulting materials characterised by PXRD. The similarity of the copper coordination between these compounds and copper(II) acetylacetonate complexes was demonstrated by XPS measurements. Based on the evidence of these studies, and on elemental analysis, the formation of the corresponding coordination polymers comprising Cu(II) and the linkers has been proposed


In the article the results of the quantum chemical study of copper (II) solvato-complexes with acetonitrile (AN), tetrafluoroborate anion (BF4–) and 3-hydroxyflavone (flv) of the composition [Cu(AN)6]2+, [Cu(BF4)(AN)5]+, [Cu(flv)(AN)5]2+, [Cu(flv)(BF4)(AN)4]+ are presented. Calculations were done using density function theory (DFT) on the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. Obtained results were interpreted in terms of complexes geometry and topology of electron density distribution using non-covalent interactions (NCI) approach. It was shown that flv molecule is a monodentate ligand in copper (II) complexes and coordinates central atom via carbonyl oxygen. Intramolecular hydrogen bond that exists in an isolated flv molecule was found to be broken upon [Cu(flv)(AN)5]2+ complex formation. In [Cu(flv)(AN)5]2+ complex, a significant rotation of phenyl ring over the planar chromone fragment was spotted as a consequence of intramolecular hydrogen bond breaking. Upon inclusion of BF4– anion to the first solvation shell of Cu2+, an intracomplex hydrogen bond was formed between hydrogen atom of hydroxyl group of flv molecule and the closest fluorine atom of BF4– anion. NCI analysis had shown that a hydrogen bond between hydrogen atom of hydroxyl group of flv molecule and the closest fluorine atom of BF4– anion is significantly stronger than intramolecular hydrogen bond in an isolated flv molecule. In addition, flexible phenyl ring of flv molecule in [Cu(flv)(BF4)(AN)4]+ complex was found to be internally stabilized by the weak van der Waals attraction between oxygen atoms of chromone ring and phenyl hydrogens. These evidences led to a conclusion that [Cu(flv)(BF4)(AN)4]+ complex is more stable, comparing to the in [Cu(flv)(AN)5]2+ complex.

Abstract 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxyphenylphosphonic acid (H3L1) and the complex [Cu(H2L1)2(H2O)2] were synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetry, and X-ray diffraction analysis. The polyhedron of the copper atom is an axially elongated square bipyramid with oxygen atoms of phenolic and of monodeprotonated phosphonic groups at the base and oxygen atoms of water molecules at the vertices. The protonation constants of the H3L1 acid and the stability constants of its Cu2+ complexes in water were determined by potentiometric titration. The protonation constants of the acid in water are significantly influenced by the intramolecular hydrogen bond and the methoxy group. The H3L1 acid forms complexes CuL‒ and CuL24‒ with Cu2+ in water.

The synthesis of a new CF3-containing stereogenic atropisomeric pair of ortho-disubstituted biphenyl scaffold is presented. The atropisomers are surprisingly conformationally stable for isolation. X-ray structures show that their stability comes from an intramolecular hydrogen bond formation from their two hydroxyl groups and renders the spatial arrangement of their peripheral CF3 and CH3 groups very different. The synthesized stereogenic scaffold proved to be effective in catalyzing the asymmetric N-nitroso aldol reaction of enamine and nitrosobenzene. Compared to similar scaffolds without CF3 groups, one of our atropisomer exhibits an increase in enantioselectivity in this reaction.

The single-crystal X-ray structures of 3{5}-(2′,5′-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrazole (HI) and the hemihydrate of 3 {5}-(3/,4′-dimethoxyphenyl)pyrazole (IV) have been determined. Compound (HI) exists purely as the 5-substituted prototropomer in the crystal; the pyrazole pyrollic N—H proton is involved in a three-way hydrogen bond, involving an intramolecular contact with a methoxy oxygen donor and an intermolecular interaction to the pyridinic N atom of a neighbouring molecule, forming discrete hydrogen-bonded dimers. There is no evidence of degenerate proton transfer within the dimeric units from CPMAS 13C NMR spectroscopy, in contrast to other known pyrazoles that associate in this manner. In (IV).1/2H2O, however, the pyrrolic proton is disordered over both N(1) and N(2) via hydrogen bonding to the solvate water molecule. CPMAS 13C NMR spectroscopy shows that the prototropic disorder in (IV).1/2H2O is static at temperatures up to 370 K. Solution 1H and 13C NMR data in DMSO-d 6 show that for both (HI) and (IV) the 3- and 5-substituted tautomeric forms are similarly populated in this solvent, suggesting both that the intramolecular hydrogen bond in (HI) has been disrupted and that the two tautomers of (HI) and (IV) are close in energy.

Using gelatin as dispersant, liquid paraffin as porogen, novel hypercrosslinked polymeric adsorbents of LM-5 and LM-6 were prepared by post-crosslinking reaction with phenol and 2-naphthol, respectively. Bromoethane was used as crosslinking reagent to substitute poisonous organic compound of chloromethyl methylether. 2-Naphthol was used in the post-crosslinking reaction to enhance phenolic hydroxyl group content. The experiments of selective adsorbing aniline on resins in mixture solution, which consisting of benzene and aniline, show that the adsorption of aniline and benzene on LM-6 in aqueous solution are mainly pushed by physical interaction. The adsorption of aniline is also partly pushed by chemical interaction, and the adsorptive enthalpy illuminates that there exists hydrogen-bonding. Owning to the hydrogen-bond, the adsorption capacity of aniline on LM-6 is markedly higher than that of benzene.
