Summary
This correction clarifies functional group hydrogen bonding properties. It refines analysis of hydrogen bond donors and acceptors within the Cambridge Structural Database for chemical insights.
Area of Science:
- Chemical Physics
- Crystallography
- Computational Chemistry
Background:
- Understanding hydrogen bonding is crucial in molecular recognition and crystal engineering.
- The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) is a key resource for analyzing intermolecular interactions.
- Previous analysis explored functional group H-bond donor and acceptor properties.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide a correction to a previously published article.
- To refine the analysis of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor properties.
- To ensure accuracy in the characterization of functional group interactions.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD).
- Performed computational analysis of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor groups.
- Applied crystallographic data to assess intermolecular interactions.
Main Results:
- Identified and corrected specific data points or interpretations from the original study.
- Provided a more accurate representation of hydrogen bonding capabilities across various functional groups.
- Enhanced the understanding of donor-acceptor relationships in crystalline environments.
Conclusions:
- The corrected analysis offers a more reliable foundation for future studies.
- Accurate hydrogen bonding data is essential for predicting molecular behavior.
- This work contributes to the precise use of crystallographic data in chemical research.

The hemoglobin in the blood, the chlorophyll in green plants, vitamin B-12, and the catalyst used in the manufacture of polyethylene all contain coordination compounds. Ions of the metals, especially the transition metals, are likely to form complexes.
In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...

Compared to ionic bonds, which results from the transfer of electrons between metallic and nonmetallic atoms, covalent bonds result from the mutual attraction of atoms for a “shared” pair of electrons.

02:47Structure and Bonding of Alkenes
20.4K
Olefins, which are unsaturated hydrocarbons containing one or more carbon–carbon double bonds, are broadly divided into alkenes and cycloalkenes. The general chemical formula of an alkene is CnH2n.
Doubly bonded carbons are sp2 hybridized and have a trigonal planar geometry. The double bond is composed of a σ bond formed by the overlap of hybrid orbitals and a π bond produced by the lateral overlap of unhybridized 2p orbitals on both the carbons. Each carbon atom is...

Structural proteins are a category of proteins responsible for functions ranging from cell shape and movement to providing support to major structures such as bones, cartilage, hair, and muscles. This group includes proteins such as collagen, actin, myosin, and keratin.
Collagen, the most abundant protein in mammals, is found throughout the body. In connective tissue, such as skin, ligaments, and tendons, it provides tensile strength and elasticity. In bones and teeth, it mineralizes to...

02:43Peptide Bonds
82.8K
A peptide bond covalently attaches amino acids through a dehydration reaction. One amino acid's carboxyl group and another amino acid's amino group combine, releasing a water molecule. The resulting bond is the peptide bond. The products that such linkages form are peptides. As more amino acids join this growing chain, the resulting chain is a polypeptide. Each polypeptide has a free amino group at one end. This end has the N-terminal, or the amino-terminal, and the other end has a free...
