The proton transfer equilibrium constants (KPT) for 1 : 1 complex formation between Chloranilic Acid (CA) and a series ofp- andm‒substituted anilines have been measured in 1,4-dioxane spectrophotometrically. The results supported the concept of amine-solvent hydrogen bond formation (short range solvation effect). Beside, this effect, theKPTvalues were apparently affected by the electron donation power of the aniline ring substituent, which was transmitted to the interaction center via resonance and inductive effects. Linear relationships betweenKPTand σ-Hammett substituent constants, or pKvalues formandpanilines,were obtained verifying the above conclusions. The solute-solvent hydrogen bond formation might increase the reactivity of the aniline nitrogen than would the inductive effect of the alkyl group, in case of CA-N-alkyl aniline complexes. The thermodynamic parameters for the proton transfer complex formation were estimated and it was indicated that the solvent–aniline hydrogen bond formation was preferred in the case ofp-substituted aniline complexes more than in the case of the correspondingm‒isomer. It has been found that the proton transfer process was enthalpy and entropy controlled.

1H-pyrrolo[3,2-h]qinoline (PQ) and 2-(2′-pyridyl)pyrrole (PP) are important systems in the study of proton-transfer reactions. These molecules possess hydrogen bond donor (pyrrole) and acceptor (pyridine) groups, which leads to the formation of cyclic dimers in their crystals. Herein, we present a joint experimental (Raman scattering) and computational (DFT modelling) study on the high-pressure behaviour of PQ and PP molecular crystals. Our results indicate that compression up to 10 GPa (100 kbar) leads to considerable strengthening of the intermolecular hydrogen bond within the cyclic dimers. However, the intramolecular N–H∙∙∙N interaction is either weakly affected by pressure, as witnessed in PQ, or weakened due to compression-induced distortions of the molecule, as was found for PP. Therefore, we propose that the compression of these systems should facilitate double proton transfer within the cyclic dimers of PQ and PP, while intramolecular transfer should either remain unaffected (for PQ) or weakened (for PP).
