Different types of A-H···π hydrogen bonds are analyzed. Two extreme categories of this interaction may be specified: the first category where the A-H bond is directed to a center of the π-electron system and the second category where this bond is directed far from such a center to a carbon atom, for example, if a π-electron donor is a system of carbon centers. However, the categorization is more complicated, since there are numerous intermediate cases. The Cambridge Structural Database searches were performed here to find the first category of interactions; these are π-electron systems with the triple C≡C bond, or with the 6-member benzene ring, or with the 5-member cyclopentadienyl anion ring. The MP2/6-311++G(d,p) results of calculations on simple complexes, where acetylene, ethylene, benzene, or cyclopentadienyl anions act as a proton acceptor, are also described. These results are supported by the Natural Bond Orbital method and the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecule approach calculations.

Because hydrogen has very weak electronegativity when it binds with a strongly electronegative atom, such as oxygen or nitrogen, electrons in the bond are unequally shared....

To measure the basicity of amines, two conventions are generally used. The first defines Kb as the basicity constant for the deprotonation reaction of water by the amine, as presented in Figure 1. Conventionally, lower Kb indicates higher...

01:01Introduction to Chemical Bonds
The electrons of the outermost energy level determine the energetic stability of the atom and its tendency to form chemical bonds with other atoms. The innermost electron shell has a maximum capacity of two electrons, but the next two electron shells can each have a maximum of eight electrons. This is known as the octet rule, which states that, with the exception of the innermost shell, atoms are most stable energetically when they have eight electrons in their valence shell, the...
