Is there an intramolecular hydrogen bond in 2-halophenols? A theoretical and spectroscopic investigation
Literature Information
Michael H. Abraham, Raymond J. Abraham, Abil E. Aliev, Claudio F. Tormena
The Abraham solute hydrogen bond acidity parameter A can be derived both from physical methods, A(Gen) and NMR experiments, A(NMR) and results for a large number of hydroxylic solutes show that the two methods agreed very well. However for halophenols the values of A(NMR) were not consistent with the A(Gen) values. The values of A(NMR) suggest that there is no intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in any of the 2-halophenols. In contrast the values of A(Gen) indicate that there is no intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in 2-fluorophenol, but weak intra-molecular hydrogen bonding in 2-chloro, 2-bromo, and 2-iodo-phenol. In view of this uncertainty in the presence or absence of intra-molecular H-bonds in the 2-halophenols, a detailed investigation of the methods used in the literature is presented together with a novel NMR method to determine the ratio of cis and trans forms in these compounds. The experimental data is complemented by a detailed theoretical analysis of the structures and bonding in these molecules to assess the presence or absence of an intra-molecular H-bond. We conclude that there is weak hydrogen bonding in 2-chloro, 2-bromo and 2-iodophenol but very little in 2-fluorophenol.

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.
