Can non-polar hydrogen atoms accept hydrogen bonds?

چکیده
We examine an unusual case where a neutral hydrogen atom acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor. The association constant between trihexylsilane and perfluoro-tert-butanol was measured as ∼0.8 M(-1) in cyclohexane. Computations and experimental NMR data are consistent with a weak, but favourable Si-H···HO interaction.

Statistical and molecular dynamics studies of buried waters in globular proteins.
Buried solvent molecules are common in the core of globular proteins and contribute to structural stability. Folding necessitates the burial of polar backbone atoms in the protein core, whose hydrogen-bonding capacities should be satisfied on average. Whereas the residues in alpha-helices and beta-sheets form systematic main-chain hydrogen bonds, the residues in turns, coils and loops often con...
متن کامل3,4-Diaminobenzonitrile
The non-H atoms in the structure of the title mol-ecule, C7H7N3, are almost coplanar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.018 Å). The two amine groups each donate two and accept one weak N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. N-H⋯N hydrogen bonding between the amine and nitrile groups results in chains parallel to [101] in the crystal structure. The chains are cross-linked by N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds between amine groups, giving ...

In the title mol-ecular salt, 2C(6)H(11)NH(3) (+)·C(8)H(4)O(4) (2-), the terephthalate dianion is close to being planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.049 Å). In the crystal, the cations and anions are linked by N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into (010) sheets. Of the four terephthalate O atoms, two accept two hydrogen bonds each and two accept one hydrogen bond each.

DFT-GGA method of Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof (PBE) is used with aug-cc-PVTZ, 6-311++G**, and Def2-TZVP large basis sets to study the hydrogen bond interactions between oxygen lone pair as a donor electron with hydrogen atom connected to the aniline’s nitrogen as an electron acceptor (H2O···HNH-Ph), and nitrogen lone pair with hydrogen of water molecule (Ph-H2N···HOH...
متن کاملProtein thermal stability, hydrogen bonds, and ion pairs.
Researchers in both academia and industry have expressed strong interest in comprehending the mechanisms responsible for enhancing the thermostability of proteins. Many and different structural principles have been postulated for the increased stability. Here, 16 families of proteins with different thermal stability were theoretically examined by comparing their respective fractional polar atom...
