Abstract
The present study delves into the question of how the strength of a hydrogen bond (HB) common to two or more cyclic HB networks is influenced by the cooperativity contributions (CCs) of these cycles. We employ the molecular tailoring approach-based method to calculate the cyclic CCs in water clusters, Wn (n = 6-20). The energy of an HB in a Wn cluster is estimated by adding the total cyclic CC to its counterpart in the respective dimer. The resulting HB energies closely match their full cluster counterparts, typically within 1.0 kcal mol-1, with substantial CCs of these cyclic networks.

Abstract
Microsolvation of the carbamate moiety delivers precise information on complexation effects on the N-C=O backbone and is of relevance to the peptide bond functionality. In this context, the mono-, di-, and trihydrated complexes of methyl carbamate have been studied in molecular expansion by high-resolution microwave spectroscopy, using chirped-pulse and Fabry-Perot resonator Fourier transform microwave instruments covering the frequency range from 2 to 18 GHz. From the rotational constants of the parent and the 18Ow substituted monoisotopologues, accurate values have been derived for the geometries of the hydrogen bond interactions. The nuclear quadrupole coupling constant χcc of the nitrogen nucleus provides a direct measure of complexation changes and decreases with the degree of hydration, whereas the hindered internal rotation barrier increases slightly with microsolvation. Both tendencies could have a common origin in the π-cooperative inductive effects as the microsolvation series progresses. All transitions are split by the internal rotation of the methyl top and the nuclear quadrupole coupling, and in the largest cluster, they are additionally split by an inversion motion.

Abstract
We present a study of salicylic acid and its hydrates, with up to four water molecules, done by employing chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. We employed the spectral data set of the parent, 13C, and 2H isotopologues to determine the molecular structure and characterize the intra- and intermolecular interactions of salicylic acid and its monohydrate. Complementary theoretical calculations were done to support the analysis of the experimental results. For the monomer, we analyzed structural properties, such as the angular-group-induced bond alternation (AGIBA) effect. In the microsolvates, we analyzed their main structural features dominated by the interaction of water with the carboxylic acid group. This work contributes to seeding information on how water molecules accumulate around this group. Moreover, we discussed the role of cooperative effects further stabilizing the observed inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bond interactions.

Abstract
To investigate influences on the topicity of perfluorinated halobenzenes as halogen bond (XB) donors in the solid state, we have conducted a database survey and prepared 18 novel cocrystals of potentially ditopic (13ditfb, 14ditfb) and tritopic (135titfb) XB donors with 15 monotopic pyridines. 135titfb shows high tendency to be mono- or ditopic, but with strong bases it can act as a tritopic XB donor. DFT calculations have shown that binding of a single acceptor molecule on one of the iodine atoms of the XB donor reduces the ESPmax on the remaining iodine atoms and dramatically decreases their potential for forming further halogen bonds, which explains both the high occurrence of crystal structures where the donors do not achieve their maximal topicity and the observed differences in halogen bond lengths. Despite the fact that this effect increases with the basicity of the acceptor, when the increase of halogen bond energy due to the basicity of the acceptor compensates its decrease due to the reduction of the acidity of the donor, it enables strong bases to form cocrystals in which a potentially polytopic XB donor achieves its maximal topicity.

Abstract
Non-additive effects in hydrogen bonds (HB) take place as a consequence of electronic charge transfers. Therefore, it is natural to expect cooperativity and anticooperativity in ion-water interactions. Nevertheless, investigations on this matter are scarce. This paper addresses the interactions of (i) the cations Li+ , Na+ , K+ , Be2+ , Mg2+ , and Ca2+ together with (ii) the anions F- , Cl- , Br- , NO3 - and SO4 2- with water clusters (H2 O)n , n=1-8, and the effects of these ions on the HBs within the complete molecular adducts. We used quantum chemical topology tools, specifically the quantum theory of atoms in molecules and the interacting quantum atoms energy partition to investigate non-additive effects among the interactions studied herein. Our results show a decrease on the interaction energy between ions and the first neighbouring water molecules with an increment of the coordination number. We also found strong cooperative effects in the interplay between HBs and ion-dipole interactions within the studied systems. Such cooperativity affects considerably the interactions among ions with their first and second solvation shells in aqueous environments. Overall, we believe this article provides valuable information about how ion-dipole contacts interact with each other and how they relate to other interactions, such as HBs, in the framework of non-additive effects in aqueous media.

Abstract
Diadamantyl ether (DAE, C20 H30 O) represents a good model to study the interplay between London dispersion and hydrogen-bond interactions. By using broadband rotational spectroscopy, an accurate experimental structure of the diadamantyl ether monomer is obtained and its aggregates with water and a variety of aliphatic alcohols of increasing size are analyzed. In the monomer, C-H⋅⋅⋅H-C London dispersion attractions between the two adamantyl subunits further stabilize its structure. Water and the alcohol partners bind to diadamantyl ether through hydrogen bonding and non-covalent Owater/alcohol ⋅⋅⋅H-CDAE and C-Halcohol ⋅⋅⋅H-CDAE interactions. Electrostatic contributions drive the stabilization of all the complexes, whereas London dispersion interactions become more pronounced with increasing size of the alcohol. Complexes with dominant dispersion contributions are significantly higher in energy and were not observed in the experiment. The results presented herein shed light on the first steps of microsolvation and aggregation of molecular complexes with London dispersion energy donor (DED) groups and the kind of interactions that control them.

Abstract
The structure of butyl carbamate and of its complex with water generated in a supersonic expansion has been characterized by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Up to 13 low-energy conformations of the monomer have been predicted that differ in the relative orientation of the butyl chain and the amide group. However, only three conformations have been observed experimentally. The remaining low-energy conformers are expected to interconvert into the observed rotamers through collisional relaxation processes in the supersonic jet. The values of the C-O-Cα-Cβ dihedral angle observed for the two most stable conformers of butyl carbamate, with extended configurations, can be directly correlated with the values of this angle in the two experimentally observed conformers of the shorter-chain molecule, ethyl carbamate. The less stable form shows a weak C-H···O═C intramolecular hydrogen bond from the terminal methyl group to the carbamate C═O group, stabilizing a folded configuration. For the most stable butyl carbamate monomer the complex with one molecule of water has been observed. In that complex the water molecule attaches to the amide group in a cyclic arrangement using two hydrogen bonds. The results indicate that water does not substantially alter the conformational behavior of butyl carbamate.

Abstract
Four conformers of the heterodimer o-anisic acid-formic acid, formed in a supersonic expansion, have been probed by Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. Two of these forms have the typical double intermolecular hydrogen-bond cyclic structure. The other two show the o-anisic acid moiety bearing a trans-COOH arrangement supported by an intramolecular O-H⋅⋅⋅O bond to the neighbor methoxy group. In these conformers, formic acid interacts with o-anisic acid mainly through an intermolecular O-H⋅⋅⋅O hydrogen bond either to the O-H or to the C=O moieties, reinforced by other weak interactions. Surprisingly, the most abundant conformer in the supersonic expansion is the complex in which the o-anisic acid is in trans arrangement with the formic acid interacting with the O-H group. Such a trans-COOH arrangement in which the intramolecular hydrogen bond dominates over the usually observed double intermolecular hydrogen bond interaction has never been observed previously in an acid-acid dimer.

Abstract
We report on the one- and two-water clusters of [4]helicene, the smallest polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with a helical sense, which were captured in the gas phase using high-resolution rotational spectroscopy. The structures of the complexes are unambiguously revealed using microwave spectra of isotopically enriched species. In the one-water cluster, the apparent splitting pattern is consistent with a tunneling motion that encompasses an exchange of strongly and weakly bonded water hydrogens. This motion is "locked" in the two-water cluster. The relevant intermolecular contacts, symmetry, and aromaticity effects are unveiled for the microsolvated chiral topologies. These observations entail the first glance at the structures and internal dynamics of the water binding motifs of a chiral polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

Abstract
Water self-association dominates the formation of microsolvated molecular clusters which may give rise to complex structures resembling those of pure water clusters. We present a rotational study of the complex formamide-(H2O)3 formed in a supersonic jet and several monosubstituted isotopologues. Formamide and water molecules form a four-body sequential cycle through N-H···O, O-H···O, and O-H···O═C hydrogen bonds, resulting in a chiral structure with a nonplanar skeleton that can be overlapped to that of water pentamer. The analysis of the 14N-nucleus quadrupole coupling effects shows the depletion of the electron density of the N atom lone pair with respect to the bare formamide that affects the amide group C-N and C═O distances. The study of the observed tunneling doublets shows that formamide-(H2O)3 follows a path to invert its structure driven by the flipping of water subunits and passing through successive nonplanar configurations, a motion reminiscent of the pseudorotation of water pentamer.
