Abstract:
The 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives (2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole, acetazolamide, sulfamethizole) have been studied experimentally in the solid state by (1)H-(14)N NQDR spectroscopy and theoretically by Density Functional Theory (DFT). The specific pattern of the intra and intermolecular interactions in 1,3,4-thiadiazole derivatives is described within the QTAIM (Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules)/DFT formalism. The results obtained in this work suggest that considerable differences in the NQR parameters permit differentiation even between specific pure association polymorphic forms and indicate that the stronger hydrogen bonds are accompanied by the larger η and smaller ν(-) and e(2)Qq/h values. The degree of π-electron delocalization within the 1,3,4-thiadiazole ring and hydrogen bonds is a result of the interplay between the substituents and can be easily observed as a change in NQR parameters at N atoms. In the absence of X-ray data NQR parameters can clarify the details of crystallographic structure revealing information on intermolecular interactions.

Stability of Conjugated Dienes
A comparison of the enthalpies of hydrogenation of dienes reveals that conjugated dienes release less heat on hydrogenation, rendering them more stable than their nonconjugated analogs.
Structure of Conjugated Dienes
Conjugated dienes are compounds characterized by the presence of alternating double and single bonds. In a conjugated system like 1,3-butadiene, the unhybridized 2p orbital on each carbon overlaps continuously, allowing the π electrons to be delocalized across the entire molecule. In contrast, this type of overlap does not occur in cumulated and isolated dienes, such as 2,3-pentadiene and 1,4-pentadiene, respectively. Instead, the π electrons remain localized between the double...
