The effects of C by N replacement on the hydrogen bonding of malonaldehyde: N-formylformimidic acid, N-(hydroxymethyl)formamide and related compounds
Literature Information

The effects of C by N replacement on the intramolecular hydrogen bond of malonaldehyde have been analyzed through the use of B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p)//B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p) calculations. Formylformimidic acid (1) exhibits a IMHB much stronger than that of malonaldehyde, reflecting the enhancement of both the intrinsic acidity and basicity of the HB donor and HB acceptor, when C is replaced by nitrogen. Similar effects are observed for N-(aminomethylene) formamide (2), N-(iminomethyl)formimidic acid (3) and N-(aminomethylene)formimidamide (4). The corresponding saturated compounds present much weaker IMHBs, but this is clearly due to the characteristics of the C1σ-skeleton, which forces the HB donor and acceptor not to be coplanar and away from each other. As a matter of fact, the corresponding planar Cs structures exhibit a much stronger IMHBs than the C1 equilibrium structures. Quite unexpectedly, the IMHB length in nitrosoformaldehyde oxime (5) is slightly weaker than in malonaldehyde, due to the fact that the oxime is not planar in its equilibrium conformation, leading to an unfavorable orientation of the HB donor with respect to the HB acceptor. Again, if the symmetry of the system is constrained to be Cs a significant reinforcement of the IMHB is observed, ratifying that the main factor governing the strength of the IMHBs in these compounds the σ-skeleton and not the possible resonance effects.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

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.
