Hydrogen Bonds01:04

Hydrogen Bonds

8.4K
A hydrogen bond is formed when a weakly positive hydrogen atom already bonded to one electronegative atom (for example, the oxygen in the water molecule) is attracted to another electronegative atom from another polar molecule, such as water (H2O), hydrogen fluoride (HF), or ammonia (NH3). The huge electronegativity difference between the H atom (2.1) and the atom to which it is bonded (4.0 for an F atom, 3.5 for an O atom, or 3.0 for an N atom), combined with the very small size of an H atom...

Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

58.2K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Intermolecular vs Intramolecular Forces03:00

Intermolecular vs Intramolecular Forces

87.2K
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are electrostatic attractions arising from charge-charge interactions between molecules. The strength of the intermolecular force is influenced by the distance of separation between molecules. The forces significantly affect the interactions in solids and liquids, where the molecules are close together. In gases, IMFs become important only under high-pressure conditions (due to the proximity of gas molecules). Intermolecular forces dictate the physical properties of...

Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules02:35

Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules

50.4K
Noncovalent attractions are associations within and between molecules that influence the shape and structural stability of complexes. These interactions differ from covalent bonding in that they do not involve sharing of electrons.
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Comparing Intermolecular Forces: Melting Point, Boiling Point, and Miscibility02:34

Comparing Intermolecular Forces: Melting Point, Boiling Point, and Miscibility

44.3K
Intermolecular forces are attractive forces that exist between molecules. They dictate several bulk properties, such as melting points, boiling points, and solubilities (miscibilities) of substances. Molar mass, molecular shape, and polarity affect the strength of different intermolecular forces, which influence the magnitude of physical properties across a family of molecules.
Temporary attractive forces like dispersion are present in all molecules, whether they are polar or nonpolar. They...

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Physics
  • Molecular Dynamics
  • Supramolecular Chemistry

Background:

  • Acyl thiourea derivatives exhibit diverse conformational behaviors.
  • Intramolecular hydrogen bonds (IHBs) significantly influence molecular conformation.
  • Understanding conformational dynamics is crucial for molecular design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the conformational preferences of N-((6-methylpyridin-2-yl)carbamothioyl)benzamide.
  • To elucidate the role of solvent polarity on molecular conformation.
  • To explore the dynamic nature of intramolecular hydrogen bonds in this system.

Main Methods:

  • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
  • Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.
  • Single crystal X-ray diffraction.

Main Results:

  • The molecule adopts two low-energy conformations stabilized by distinct 6-membered intramolecular hydrogen bond (IHB) pseudorings.
  • Conformational preference is polarity-dependent, with polar solvents favoring the NH⋅⋅⋅N IHB conformer.
  • Calculated interconversion barriers suggest dynamic behavior at room temperature.

Conclusions:

  • Competitive IHB pathways can enhance the dynamic nature of otherwise static IHBs.
  • This conformational plasticity suggests potential applications as "chameleons" in drug design.
  • The study highlights the interplay between molecular structure, solvent environment, and hydrogen bonding dynamics.
