Abstract
Spectroscopic exploration of sulfur-centered hydrogen bonding involving a thiol group (S-H) as the hydrogen bond donor is scarce in the literature. Herein, we have investigated 1:1 complexes of 2-fluorothiophenol (2-FTP) with methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH) in the gas phase to examine the physical characteristics and strength of the S-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Structures, conformations, and the strength of the S-H⋯O interaction are investigated by measuring the electronic and Infrared (IR) spectra of the two complexes employing resonant two-photon ionization, UV-UV hole-burning, and IR-UV double resonance spectroscopic techniques combined with quantum chemical calculations. Three conformers of 2-FTP⋯MeOH and two conformers of 2-FTP⋯EtOH have been detected in the experiment. A comparison of the IR spectra obtained from the experiment with those of the low-energy conformers of 2-FTP⋯MeOH and 2-FTP⋯EtOH predicted from the theory confirms that all the observed conformers of the two complexes are primarily S-H⋯O hydrogen bonded. The IR red-shifts found in the S-H stretching frequencies in 2-FTP⋯MeOH and 2-FTP⋯EtOH concerning that in 2-FTP are ∼76 and ∼88 cm-1, respectively, which are much larger than that was reported earlier in the 2-FTP⋯H2O complex (30 cm-1). The strength and physical nature of different noncovalent interactions, including the S-H⋯O hydrogen bond existing in the complexes, are further analyzed using natural bond orbital analysis, quantum theory of atoms in molecules, and localized molecular orbital-energy decomposition analysis. The current investigation reveals that the S-H⋯O hydrogen bond can be strengthened by judicial choices of the hydrogen bond acceptors of higher proton affinities.

Abstract
The rotational spectrum of the binary adduct of formamide (HCONH2) with dimethyl sulfide (DMS) has been investigated employing cavity-based Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy combined with theoretical computations. Experimentally, only one isomer of the adduct was unambiguously observed and assigned according to the theoretically predicted spectroscopic parameters, and its rotational spectrum displays the hyperfine splittings associated with the 14N nuclear quadrupole coupling effect. The observed isomer exhibits Cs symmetry, such that the ∠CSC angle of the DMS subunit is bisected by the ab-plane of the HCONH2 moiety. The two moieties in the detected isomer are connected via one primary NH···S and two secondary CH···O hydrogen bonds. Quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), non-covalent interaction (NCI), natural bond orbital (NBO) and symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) approaches were utilized for characterizing the intermolecular interactions occurring in the titled adduct. Additionally, the adduct of HCONH2 with dimethyl ether (DME) was also theoretically investigated to compare the difference in structure and energy characteristics between the NH···S and NH···O hydrogen bonds.

Abstract
The microwave spectrum of 2-acetyl-4-methylthiophene (2A4MT) was recorded in the frequency range from 2 to 26.5 GHz using a molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer, revealing two conformers, syn and anti. Both methyl groups in the molecule, the acetyl methyl and the ring methyl groups, undergo internal rotation, causing resolvable splittings of all rotational transitions into quintets. The torsional barriers determined for the acetyl methyl and the ring methyl rotors are 324.919(94) cm-1 and 210.7181(61) cm-1 for the syn conformer; the respective values for anti-2A4MT are 281.201(17) cm-1 and 212.9797(41) cm-1. The experimentally deduced rotational constants and torsional barriers are compared to values obtained from quantum chemical calculations. The barriers to methyl internal rotation are also compared to those of related molecules in order to establish a "thiophene class" concerning the acetyl methyl torsion.

Molecules 2022; 27:molecules27092639.

Abstract
The gas-phase structures of the fruit ester methyl hexanoate, CH3-O-(C=O)-C5H11, have been determined using a combination of molecular jet Fourier-transform microwave spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. The microwave spectrum was measured in the frequency range of 3 to 23 GHz. Two conformers were assigned, one with Cs symmetry and the other with C1 symmetry where the γ-carbon atom of the hexyl chain is in a gauche orientation in relation to the carbonyl bond. Splittings of all rotational lines into doublets were observed due to internal rotation of the methoxy methyl group CH3-O, from which torsional barriers of 417 cm−1 and 415 cm−1, respectively, could be deduced. Rotational constants obtained from geometry optimizations at various levels of theory were compared to the experimental values, confirming the soft degree of freedom of the (C=O)-C bond observed for the C1 conformer of shorter methyl alkynoates like methyl butyrate and methyl valerate. Comparison of the barriers to methyl internal rotation of methyl hexanoate to those of other CH3-O-(C=O)-R molecules leads to the conclusion that though the barrier height is relatively constant at about 420 cm−1, it decreases in molecules with longer R.
