Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2′-deoxyribonucleosides: an AIM topological study of the electronic density
Literature Information
The theoretical analysis of the energy of the conformers of 2′-deoxyribonucleosides presents some subtle but significant differences depending on the nature of the base linked to the sugar. In particular, 2′-deoxycytidine behaves uniquely. Among the structural parameters invoked to explain this phenomenon, one of the most intriguing is the C–H···O intramolecular hydrogen bond in which the donor atom is H6 (H8) in the pyrimidine (purine) base and the acceptor atom is O5′ of the sugar. In the present work, the network of intramolecular weak bonds is thoroughly investigated for every 2′-deoxynucleoside in both the North (C3′-endo/anti) and South (C2′-endo/anti) conformations. In this respect, we use Bader's atoms in molecules (AIM) theory to perform a topological study of the electronic density, emphasizing the weak bonding in the nucleosides. Criteria for hydrogen bonding are comprehensively reviewed for each hydrogen bond revealed, and the concept of “improper” hydrogen bonding is addressed. The AIM analysis thus allows us to gain insight into the intrinsic reasons for the strange conformational behaviour of 2′-deoxycytidine.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
