Journal ArticleDOI
Nature of the N-H...S hydrogen bond.
TL;DR: It was shown that the S(1)-S(0) band origin red shifts in the N-H...S hydrogen-bonded complexes correlated well with the polarizability of the acceptor rather than their proton affinity, contrary to the trend observed in most X-H…Y hydrogen-Bonded systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sulfur, Not Too Far Behind O, N, and C: SH···π Hydrogen Bond
TL;DR: It is found that although sulfur and its hydrides are known as poor hydrogen-bond donor/acceptors, sulfur is not too far behind oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon in regard to forming the pi-type hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI
O-H...O versus O-H...S hydrogen bonding I: Experimental and computational studies on the p-cresol x H2O and p-cresol x H2S complexes.
TL;DR: Experimental data indicates that in the p-CR x H(2)S complex, the phenolic OH group acts as a hydrogen bond donor, and sulfur as the acceptor, and it indicates that thep-CRx H( 2)O complex was about half as strong as the p.CR x p-cresol complex, while the AIM and NBO analyses corroborate the experimental findings.
Journal ArticleDOI
O-H...O versus O-H...S hydrogen bonding. 2. Alcohols and thiols as hydrogen bond acceptors
TL;DR: Energy decomposition analysis revealed that the dispersion energy contribution in O-H...O hydrogen bonding increases with an increase in the alkyl chain length of the hydrogen bond acceptor, and that in the case of the MeSH complex, this contribution remained unchanged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nature and strength of sulfur-centred hydrogen bonds: laser spectroscopic investigations in the gas phase and quantum-chemical calculations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented laser spectroscopic investigations of isolated binary complexes of H-bond donor-acceptor molecules containing Sulfur atom and found that electronegativity is a controlling factor to be a potent H-Bond donor/acceptor.
