Hydrogen Bonds in Excited State Proton Transfer.
Hydrogen bonding interactions between biological chromophores and their surrounding protein and solvent environment significantly affect the photochemical pathways of the chromophore and its biological function. A common first step in the dynamics of these systems is excited state proton transfer between the noncovalently bound molecules, which stabilizes the system against dissociation and pri...
متن کاملCompeting Intramolecular vs. Intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds in Solution
A hydrogen bond for a local-minimum-energy structure can be identified according to the definition of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC recommendation 2011) or by finding a special bond critical point on the density map of the structure in the framework of the atoms-in-molecules theory. Nonetheless, a given structural conformation may be simply favored by electrostati...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...
متن کاملIntermolecular tunnelling between diffusing spherical potential wells : a first approach to direct proton transfer in solutions
2014 A theoretical model for the intermolecular proton transfer AH+ + B ~ A + HB+ between identical molecules A and B in solution is proposed. The proton is initially assumed to be in the ground bound state of a three dimensional (3D) spherical potential well belonging to molecule A. When the diffusing molecules A and B collide, the proton can tunnel through a 3D potential barrier and be trappe...
متن کاملIntermolecular contrast in atomic force microscopy images without intermolecular bonds.
Intermolecular features in atomic force microscopy images of organic molecules have been ascribed to intermolecular bonds. A recent theoretical study [P. Hapala et al., Phys. Rev. B 90, 085421 (2014)] showed that these features can also be explained by the flexibility of molecule-terminated tips. We probe this effect by carrying out atomic force microscopy experiments on a model system that con...
