The monohydrates of thenyl alcohol and thenyl mercaptan have been probed in a supersonic jet expansion using chirped-pulse and Fabry–Perot Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy. The rotational spectra revealed a single isomer for each of the dimers. The thenyl alcohol hydrate is stabilized by an O–H⋯Ow hydrogen bond between the alcohol and water, with water acting as a proton acceptor and additionally engaging in an Ow–H⋯π interaction with the thenyl ring. Conversely, water behaves as a proton donor in the thenyl mercaptan hydrate, linking to the thiol group though an Ow–H⋯S hydrogen bond and secondary Ow–H⋯π interactions with the ring. In both dimers water retains internal mobility, as tunneling doublings in the spectrum confirm an internal rotation motion of water inside the cluster. The experimental results have been complemented with density-functional-theory molecular orbital calculations, binding energy decomposition and a topological analysis of the electronic density, providing a comparative description of the effects of hydrogen bonding of water to the alcohol and thiol groups in the dimers, relevant to understand hydrogen bonding to sulfur centers.

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.
