Abstract
The interactions between nicotinamide (NA) and H2O were studied using UV-visible spectra (UV-Vis), cyclic voltammetry (CV), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), density functional theory (DFT) and atoms in molecules (AIM) analysis. According to the changes of the UV-Vis spectra and the oxidation and reduction potentials in cyclic voltammograms of NA in aqueous solution, it was found that hydrogen bonding occurred between NA and H2O molecules. Quantum chemistry calculations and AIM analysis further confirmed the existence of hydrogen bonding between H2O molecules and the amide group, the nitrogen atom, and hydrogen atoms on the pyridine ring of NA molecules. In addition, the NMR results demonstrated that the π-π stacking between NA pyridine rings could be formed at higher concentrations.
