Intra- and intermolecular forces competition was investigated in the 9,10-anthraquinone (1) and its derivatives both in vacuo and in the crystalline phase. The 1,8-dihydroxy-9,10-anthraquinone (2) and 1,8-dinitro-4,5-dihydroxy-anthraquinone (3) contain Resonance-Assisted Hydrogen Bonds (RAHBs). The intramolecular hydrogen bonds properties were studied in the electronic ground and excited states employing Møller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2), Density Functional Theory (DFT) method in its classical formulation as well as its time-dependent extension (TD-DFT). The proton potential functions were obtained via scanning the OH distance and the dihedral angle related to the OH group rotation. The topological analysis was carried out on the basis of theories of Atoms in Molecules (AIM—molecular topology, properties of critical points, AIM charges) and Electron Localization Function (ELF—2D maps showing bonding patterns, calculation of electron populations in the hydrogen bonds). The Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) was applied for the energy decomposition in the dimers. Finally, Car–Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) simulations were performed to shed light onto bridge protons dynamics upon environmental influence. The vibrational features of the OH stretching were revealed using Fourier transformation of the autocorrelation function of atomic velocity. It was found that the presence of OH and NO2 substituents influenced the geometric and electronic structure of the anthraquinone moiety. The AIM and ELF analyses showed that the quantitative differences between hydrogen bonds properties could be neglected. The bridged protons are localized on the donor side in the electronic ground state, but the Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) was noticed as a result of the TD-DFT calculations. The hierarchy of interactions determined by SAPT method indicated that weak hydrogen bonds play modifying role in the organization of these crystal structures, but primary ordering factor is dispersion. The CPMD crystalline phase results indicated bridged proton-sharing in the compound 2.

Intramolecular Hydrogen

Non-covalent interactions responsible for molecular features and self-assembly in Naphthazarin C polymorph were investigated on the basis of diverse theoretical approaches: Density Functional Theory (DFT), Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC), Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) and Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD). The proton reaction paths in the intramolecular hydrogen bridges were studied. Two potential energy minima were found indicating that the proton transfer phenomena occur in the electronic ground state. Diffusion Quantum Monte Carlo (DQMC) and other levels of theory including Coupled Cluster (CC) employment enabled an accurate inspection of Potential Energy Surface (PES) and revealed the energy barrier for the proton transfer. The structure and reactivity evolution associated with the proton transfer were investigated using Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity - HOMA index, Fukui functions and Atoms In Molecules (AIM) theory. The energy partitioning in the studied dimers was carried out based on Symmetry-Adapted Perturbation Theory (SAPT) indicating that dispersive forces are dominant in the structure stabilization. The CPMD simulations were performed at 60 K and 300 K in vacuo and in the crystalline phase. The temperature influence on the bridged protons dynamics was studied and showed that the proton transfer phenomena were not observed at 60 K, but the frequent events were noticed at 300 K in both studied phases. The spectroscopic signatures derived from the CPMD were computed using Fourier transformation of autocorrelation function of atomic velocity for the whole molecule and bridged protons. The computed gas-phase IR spectra showed two regions with OH absorption that covers frequencies from 2500 cm−1 to 2800 cm−1 at 60 K and from 2350 cm−1 to 3250 cm−1 at 300 K for both bridged protons. In comparison, the solid state computed IR spectra revealed the environmental influence on the vibrational features. For each of them absorption regions were found between 2700–3100 cm−1 and 2400–2850 cm−1 at 60 K and 2300–3300 cm−1 and 2300–3200 cm−1 at 300 K respectively. Therefore, the CPMD study results indicated that there is a cooperation of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in Naphthazarin molecule.
