The Cu(II) atom in the title compound, [Cu(NO(3))(2)(C(20)H(40)N(4))], is N,N',N'',N'''-chelated by the macrocyclic ligand: the four N atoms form a square, above and below which are located the O atoms of the nitrate ions. The metal atom exists in a tetra-gonally distorted octa-hedron, on a special position of [Formula: see text] site symmetry. One of the amino groups is hydrogen bonded to an O...

1. The action of mescaline sulphate on the hydrogen-bonded structure of the RNA constituent of ribosomes of goat brain-cortex slices was studied by using the hyperchromic effect of heating and formaldehyde reaction. 2. The ribosomal total RNA species of the mescaline-treated brain-cortex slices have a smaller proportion of hydrogen-bonded structure than the ribosomal RNA species of the untreate...

Vibrational sum-frequency generation (vSFG) measurements in the frequency and time domains reveal that the interfacial hydrogen bonded OH stretch at the water/calcium fluoride interface is composed of two populations oriented oppositely. The time-resolved vSFG free-induction decay suggested that, whereas the strongly hydrogen bonded OH vibrational stretches, centered near 3140 ± 11 cm-1, are or...

Enhanced reductive fluorescence quenching of meso-tetrakis-5,10,15,20-pentafluorophenyl porphyrin (H2F20TPP) by two different phenols, 4-methoxy phenol (4-MeOPhOH) and 2,6-dimethoxy phenol (2,6-DiMeOPhOH) in the presence of various pyridine bases in dichloromethane solution is studied using steady state and time resolved fluorescence spectroscopic methods by employing time correlated single pho...

Self-complementary hydrogen-bonding domains were incorporated as the electron deficient unit in "push-pull", p-type small molecules for organic photovoltaic active layers. Such compounds were found to enhance the fill factor, compared with similar non-self-organized compounds reported in the literature, leading to higher device efficiencies. Evidence is presented that the ability of these molec...

The title compound, C(15)H(13)ClN(2)O(2), is an aromatic Schiff base having an aldoxime substituent; the two rings on the azomethine linkage are twisted by 44.4 (1)°. The phenolic H atom is intra-molecularly hydrogen bonded to the azomethine N atom, generating an S(6) ring. In the crystal, inversion dimers linked by pairs of O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds occur. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral t...

In the title compound, C(3)H(7)N(6) (+)·C(7)H(5)O(5) (-)·2H(2)O, the melaminium and benzoate ions are approximately planar (r.m.s. deviation of the non-hydrogen atoms is 0.093 Å) and there is a strong C(2) (2)(8) hydrogen-bonding embrace between them. The centre of symmetry generates a second acid-base pair which is bound to the first by a C(2) (2)(8) (N-H⋯N) embrace common between melamine mol...

The title mol-ecule, C(5)H(5)N(5)O(3)S, is approximately planar, with a maximum deviation from the mean plane through the non-H atoms of 0.182 (3) Å for the amine N atom. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected via N-H⋯O and N-H⋯S inter-actions, building a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network. Additionally, a weak intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond is observed.

Amides are important atmospheric organic-nitrogen compounds. Hydrogen bonded complexes of methanol (MeOH) with amides (formamide, N-methylformamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetamide, N-methylacetamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide) have been investigated. The carbonyl oxygen of the amides behaves as a hydrogen bond acceptor and the NH group of the amides acts as a hydrogen bond donor. The dominant ...
