The hydrogen bond acceptor strength of 40 tertiary amines has been measured by Fourier transform – infrared (FTIR) spectrometry from their 1:1 complexation constant towards 4-fluorophenol in CCl4 at 25°C (the pKHB scale). Also measured was the frequency shift, Δν(OH), of the ν(OH) band of methanol hydrogen-bonded to these amines. The comparison of the thermodynamic hydrogen bond basicity scale, pKHB, with the spectroscopic one, Δν(OH), and with the Brønsted pKa scale, points to the great sensitivity of pKHB to steric effects. The pKHB scale of tertiary amines extends from 2.71 for quinuclidine to –0.34 for N,N-diisopropyl-3-pentylamine. The main factors governing this important variation (17 kJ·mol–1 on the Gibbs energy scale) are the electron-withdrawing inductive effect and various kinds of steric effects (e.g., opening of the CNC angles and hindrance to OH fixation on the nitrogen lone pair). Infrared (IR) spectra show the attachment of 4-fluorophenol to the nitrile nitrogen of Me2NCH2C[Formula: see text]N and Me2NCH2CH2C[Formula: see text]N, to the oxygen of N-methylmorpholine, and to the π electrons of (HC[Formula: see text]CCH2)3N and (PhCH2)3N, in addition to the attachment to the amino nitrogen. In (PhCH2)3N, the electron-withdrawing effect of the three benzyl substituents and, mainly, the very important congestion of the nitrogen lone pair reduce the nitrogen hydrogen-bond basicity almost to nothing, so that tribenzylamine, a nitrogen Brønsted base, turns to a π base in hydrogen bonding. From this example, the large differences between the pKHB and pKa scales of organic bases are emphasized.Key words: basicity, hydrogen bonding, tertiary amines, pKHB scale.

The relative hydrogen-bond acceptor abilities of amino and cyano N atoms have been investigated using data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database and via ab initio molecular orbital calculations. Surveys of the CSD for hydrogen bonds between HX (X = N, O) donors, N—T—C≡N (push–pull nitriles) and N—(Csp 3) n —C≡N molecular fragments  show that the hydrogen bonds are more abundant on the nitrile than on the amino nitrogen. In the push–pull family, in which T is a transmitter of resonance effects, the hydrogen-bonding ability of the cyano nitrogen is increased by conjugative interactions between the lone pair of the amino substituent and the C≡N group: a clear example of resonance-assisted hydrogen bonding. The strength of the hydrogen-bonds on the cyano nitrogen in this family follows the experimental order of hydrogen-bond basicity, as observed in solution through the pK HB scale. The number of hydrogen bonds established on the amino nitrogen is greater for aliphatic aminonitriles N—(Csp 3) n —C≡N, but remains low. This behaviour reflects the greater sensitivity of the amino nitrogen to steric hindrance and the electron-withdrawing inductive effect compared with the cyano nitrogen. Ab initio molecular orbital calculations (B3LYP/6-31+G** level) of electrostatic potentials on the molecular surface around each nitrogen confirm the experimental observations.

A statistical analysis of entries from the CSD (Cambridge Structural Database) showed that the average hydrogen-bond geometry to the nitrogen acceptor atom of the thiocyanate anion was not collinear with respect to the molecular axis of the anion and so not collinear with the nitrogen lone pair [Tchertanov & Pascard (1996). Acta Cryst. B52, 685–690]. This somewhat unexpected result has been investigated further using theoretical energy calculations applying Intermolecular Perturbation Theory in combination with a more detailed statistical analysis of an appropriate CSD dataset. The energy calculations pointed to the formation of the strongest hydrogen bonds in the nitrogen lone-pair direction. The statistical analysis showed that this directionality occurs in cases where the N atom accepts one hydrogen bond only. The non-linear average hydrogen-bond geometry observed in the earlier study can be attributed to multiple hydrogen bonding to the N atom. In such cases, there is a shift away from the optimum orientation.

An IR study, in the region of OH stretching, of a reference hydrogen-bond donor, 4-fluorophenol, hydrogen bonded to primary, secondary, and tertiary arylamines differently substituted on the ring and on the nitrogen, shows the formation of two kinds of 1:1 complexes in CCl4 solution: an OH···π and an OH···N hydrogen-bonded complex. The IR method gives only access to a global complexation constant Kt. A method is proposed for separating Kt into a Kπ component for hydrogen bonding to the π system and a KN component for hydrogen bonding to the nitrogen atom. This method is validated by comparing the estimated Kπ and KN values to theoretically calculated descriptors of basicity: the nitrogen lone pair orientation towards the aromatic ring, the molecular electrostatic potentials around the nitrogen and the π cloud, and the enthalpy of hydrogen bonding of hydrogen fluoride with the π system of selected arylamines. The main electronic and steric factors governing the competition between π and N sites are analysed. The strongest π and N bases among the arylamines are julolidine and Tröger's base, respectively. Triphenylamine and diphenylamine, which are nitrogen Brønsted bases, become π bases in hydrogen bonding. Moreover, there is no correlation between the pKHB and the pKBH+ scales of basicity of arylamines. The use of the pKBH+ scale is therefore not recommended in hydrogen-bonding studies.Key words: hydrogen bonding, arylamines, pKHB scale, competition of π and N hydrogen-bonded sites.

The hydrogen-bond acceptor ability of sulfur in C=S systems has been investigated using crystallographic data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database and via ab initio molecular orbital calculations. The R1R2C=S bond lengths span a wide range, from 1.58 Å in pure thiones (R 1 = R 2 = Csp 3) to 1.75 Å in thioureido species (R 1 = R 2 = N) and in dithioates —CS^{-}_2. The frequency of hydrogen-bond formation at =S increases from 4.8% for C=S > 1.63 Å to more than 70% for C=S > 1.70 Å in uncharged species. The effective electronegativity of S is increased by conjugative interactions between C=S and the lone pairs of one or more N substituents (R 1 R 2): a clear example of resonance-induced hydrogen bonding. More than 80% of S in —CS^{-}_2 accept hydrogen bonds. C=S...H—N,O bonds are shown to be significantly weaker than their C=O...H—N,O analogues by (a) comparing mean S...H and O...H distances (taking account of the differing non-bonded sizes of S and O and using neutron-normalized H positions) and (b) comparing frequencies of hydrogen-bond formation in `competitive' environments, i.e. in structures containing both C=S and C=O acceptors. The directional properties and hydrogen-bond coordination numbers of C=S and C=O acceptors have also been compared. There is evidence for lone-pair directionality in both systems, but =S is more likely (17% of cases) than =O (4%) to accept more than two hydrogen bonds. Ab initio calculations of residual atomic charges and electrostatic potentials reinforce the crystallographic observations.

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.

The analysis of the n.m.r, spectra of 2,2?-, 3,3?-, and 4,4?-bipyridyl and three dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyls is reported and the factors determining the relative chemical shifts of the ring protons and methyl groups in several solvents are discussed. The diamagnetic anisotropy of the neighbouring ring and electrostatic field effect of the nitrogen lone pair electrons are shown to be of roughly equal importance for derivatives of 2,2?-bipyridyl except in hydrogen bonding solvents. Attenuation of the electrostatic field effect in polar, and particularly in hydrogen bonding solvents, is established for 4- picoline, and for the bipyridyls, and this effect is responsible for striking changes in the spectrum of 2,2?-bipyridyl in hydrogen bonding solvents. An approximate interplanar angle of 58� is derived for 3,3?- dimethyl-2,2?-bipyridyl, and 2,2?-bipyridyl and its 4,4?- and 5,5?- dimethyl derivatives appear to be trans coplanar in all solvents. 3,3?- Bipyridyl and 4,4?-bipyridyl are probably highly twisted in all solvents, or alternatively, behave as essentially free rotors. The predicted conformations are in good agreement with the electronic spectral data.
