The temperature dependency of the phosphorescence properties of aromatic hydrocarbons in alcoholic glasses exhibits a number of phenomena that have not been described previously. Chief among these are the effects of added gases (O2, N2, C2H6, Ar), some of which produce major changes in the luminescence characteristics. These are discussed, and rationalized in terms of a model which presumes that O2 and N2 can disrupt the normal hydrogen bonding process between alcohol molecules.

It has been shown previously that certain anesthetics hinder the formation of hydrogen bonds of the [Formula: see text] types. An attempt bas now been made to correlate this hydrogen bond 'breaking' property with anesthetic potency. As a measure of the former, relative intensifies of infrared bands related to 'free' and hydrogen bonded species were used. The band which was chosen for this purpose is the OH or NH stretching + in-plane bending combination band. This made it possible to carry out the measurements at room temperature. A semi-quantitative relationship has been found. Its significance for the theories of anesthesia is discussed.

The ultrafast hydrogen bond breaking and reformation dynamics at the carbonyl site of a coumarin 102 dye molecule in ethanol is captured by femtosecond stimulated Raman spectroscopy (FSRS) on the femtosecond and picosecond timescales.

Infrared spectra of polycrystalline (NH4)2GeF6, β-(NH4)2SiF6, and (NH4)2Pb(SO4)2 have been recorded at room and liquid-nitrogen temperatures. The N—D stretching and bending fundamentals of the isotopically dilute NH3D+ ion in these compounds have been studied with particular attention. The occurrence of N—D stretching doublets and bending triplets, of approximate intensity ratios 1:3 and 2:3:3 respectively, confirms the C3v symmetry of the ammonium ion and suggests that the isotopic dilution technique will prove useful as a diagnostic tool for ascertaining site symmetries of the ammonium ion. The spectra are consistent with non-rotating ammonium ions. The frequencies of dilute NH3D+ ions suggest that for the ammonium ion in (NH4)2Pb(SO4)2 a trifurcated hydrogen bond is stronger than a normal hydrogen bond.

The present work outlines the fair relationship of the computational model with the experiments on anion photoelectron spectroscopy for the gold-water complexes [Au(H2O)1≤n≤2]- that is established between the auride anion Au- and water monomer and dimer thanks to the nonconventional hydrogen bond where Au- casts as the nonconventional proton acceptor. This work also extends the computational model to the larger complexes [Au(H2O)3≤n≤5]- where gold considerably thwarts the shape of water clusters and even particularly breaks their conventional hydrogen bonding patterns. The fascinating phenomenon of the lavish proton acceptor character of Au- to form at least six hydrogen bonds with molecules of water is computationally unveiled in the present work for the first time.

A further example of using a covalent-bond-forming reaction to alter supramolecular assembly by modification of hydrogen-bonding possibilities is presented. This concept was introduced by Lemmerer, Bernstein & Kahlenberg [CrystEngComm(2011),13, 55–59]. The title structure, C9H11N3O·C7H6O4, which consists of a reacted niazid molecule,viz.N′-(propan-2-ylidene)nicotinohydrazide, and 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, was solved from powder diffraction data using simulated annealing. The results further demonstrate the relevance and utility of powder diffraction as an analytical tool in the study of cocrystals and their hydrogen-bond interactions.

To compare the structural properties of oxalamide and thiooxalamide groups in the formation of hydrogen bonds suitable for supramolecular assemblies a series of retropeptides was studied. Some of them, having oxalamide bridges, are gelators of organic solvents and water. However, retropeptides with oxygen replaced by the sp 2 sulfur have not exhibited such properties. The crystal structures of the two title compounds are homostructural, i.e. they have similar packing arrangements. The monothio compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit arranged in a hydrogen-bond network with an approximate 41 axis along the crystallographic b axis. However, the dithio and dioxo analogues crystallize in the tetragonal space group P41 with similar packing patterns and hydrogen-bonding systems arranged in agreement with a crystallographic 41 axis. Thus, these two analogues are isostructural having closely related hydrogen-bonding patterns in spite of the different size and polarity of oxygen and sulfur which serve as the proton acceptors.

The unusual behavior of the solution luminescence emission of [(phen)(H2O)Re(CO)3]+(CF3SO3)− depends on the solvent polarity, and coordinating and hydrogen bonding ability.
