Theoretical studies of hydrogen bond network rearrangement (HBNR) dynamics in liquid water have indicated that librational motions initiate the hydrogen bond breaking/formation processes. We present the results of using a simple time evolution method to extract and compare the tunneling lifetimes for motions that break and reform the hydrogen bond for the water dimer, trimer, and pentamer from ...

In the present work, the sensitivity to the moisture (hygroscopisity) is studied for 3,4-dinitropyrazole (DNP) as a famous energetic molecule. All of the DNP-H2O complex systems (1-3) as well as individual molecules were optimized and bond lengths, bond angles, dihedral angles, charge transfer and stability via NBO analysis, corrected interaction energies with ZPE + BSSE and hydrogen bonds anal...

We discuss theoretically the geometric and electronic structure properties of the thiazolidinedione derivative A and its hydrogen-bonded complex in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution in the S0 and S1 states. To gain insight into the photoinduced coupled excited-state proton transfer (ESPT) and twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) associated with intermolecular hydrogen bonding, the poten...

Hydrogen bonds are weak, generally intermolecular bonds, which hold much of soft matter together as well as the condensed phases of water, network liquids, and many ferroelectric crystals. The small mass of hydrogen means that they are inherently quantum mechanical in nature, and effects such as zero-point motion and tunneling must be considered, though all too often these effects are not consi...

In the present work, in order to investigate the electronic excited-state intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the chromophore coumarin 153 (C153) and the room-temperature ionic liquid N,N-dimethylethanolammonium formate (DAF), both the geometric structures and the infrared spectra of the hydrogen-bonded complex C153-DAF(+) in the excited state were studied by a time-dependent density functi...

FTIR spectroscopic study of hydrogen bonding of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene (catechol) with proton acceptors has been carried out. The influence of intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonds on the strengths of each other in complexes of 1,2-dihydroxybenzene with various proton acceptors has been analyzed. It was shown that intramolecular hydrogen bond is strengthened when 1,2-dihydroxybenzene i...

Four series of hydrogen bonded complexes of formamide and substituted benzoic acids and benzoates were studied in the light of substituent effect on intermolecular interactions. The analysis based on energy of interaction, geometry, QTAIM-derived properties of hydrogen bond critical point and energy of hydrogen bonds were made and discussed. The opposite effect of the substituent on hydrogen bo...

The aggregation of V-shaped hydroxypyrimidine derivatives is formed through an intermolecular hydrogen bond in chloroform that cannot form a hydrogen bond with the solute, giving rise to a large enhancement of the two-photon absorption and two-photon induced fluorescence.

The title compound, C23H24N4OS, contains a highly asymmetric bifurcated intramolecular hydrogen bond between the hydroxy group and two pyrazole N atoms. The compound associates into centrosymmetric dimers in the crystal through two unique C-H...pi interactions, which are in turn linked into a (6,3)-network through an additional intermolecular C-H...N hydrogen bond.

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, C(12)H(16)N(2)O(4), an intra-molecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bond results in the formation of a six-membered ring having an envelope conformation. In the crystal structure, a bifurcated intra/intermolecular N-H⋯(O,O) hydrogen bond generates inversion dimers.
