Abstract
The response of the geometric and NMR properties of molecular systems to an external electric field has been studied theoretically in a wide field range. It has been shown that this adduct under field approach can be used to model the geometric and spectral changes experienced by molecular systems in polar media if the system in question has one and only one bond, the polarizability of which significantly exceeds the polarizability of other bonds. If this requirement is met, then it becomes possible to model even extreme cases, for example, proton dissociation in hydrogen halides. This requirement is fulfilled for many complexes with one hydrogen bond. For such complexes, this approach can be used to facilitate a detailed analysis of spectral changes associated with geometric changes in the hydrogen bond. For example, in hydrogen-bonded complexes of isocyanide C≡15N-1H⋯X, 1J(15N1H) depends exclusively on the N-H distance, while δ(15N) is also slightly influenced by the nature of X.

Abstract
The isotopically enriched cyanide anion, (13C≡15N)−, has a great potential as the NMR probe of non-covalent interactions. However, hydrogen cyanide is highly toxic and can decompose explosively. It is therefore desirable to be able to theoretically estimate any valuable results of certain experiments in advance in order to carry out experimental studies only for the most suitable molecular systems. We report the effect of hydrogen bonding on NMR properties of 15N≡13CH···X and 13C≡15NH···X hydrogen bonding complexes in solution, where X = 19F, 15N, and O=31P, calculated at the ωB97XD/def2tzvp and the polarizable continuum model (PCM) approximations. In many cases, the isotropic 13C and 15N chemical shieldings of the cyanide anion are not the most informative NMR properties of such complexes. Instead, the anisotropy of these chemical shieldings and the values of scalar coupling constants, including those across hydrogen bonds, can be used to characterize the geometry of such complexes in solids and solutions. 1J(15N13C) strongly correlates with the length of the N≡C bond.

Abstract
This review discusses molecular adducts, whose composition allows a symmetric structure. Such adducts are popular model systems, as they are useful for analyzing the effect of structure on the property selected for study since they allow one to reduce the number of parameters. The main objectives of this discussion are to evaluate the influence of the surroundings on the symmetry of these adducts, steric hindrances within the adducts, competition between different noncovalent interactions responsible for stabilizing the adducts, and experimental methods that can be used to study the symmetry at different time scales. This review considers the following central binding units: hydrogen (proton), halogen (anion), metal (cation), water (hydrogen peroxide).

The Structure of the "Vibration Hole" around an Isotopic Substitution-Implications for the Calculation of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Isotopic Shifts. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25122915. [PMID: 32599937 PMCID: PMC7355873 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25122915] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/22/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Calculations of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) isotopic shifts often rest on the unverified assumption that the “vibration hole”, that is, the change of the vibration motif upon an isotopic substitution, is strongly localized around the substitution site. Using our recently developed difference-dedicated (DD) second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) method, we test this assumption for a variety of molecules. The vibration hole turns out to be well localized in many cases but not in the interesting case where the H/D substitution site is involved in an intra-molecular hydrogen bond. For a series of salicylaldehyde derivatives recently studied by Hansen and co-workers (Molecules2019, 24, 4533), the vibrational hole was found to stretch over the whole hydrogen-bond moiety, including the bonds to the neighbouring C atoms, and to be sensitive to substituent effects. We discuss consequences of this finding for the accurate calculation of NMR isotopic shifts and point out directions for the further improvement of our DD-VPT2 method.

Abstract
We present difference-dedicated second-order vibrational perturbation theory (VPT2) as an efficient method for the computation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) isotopic shifts, which reflect the geometry dependence of the NMR property in combination with different vibration patterns of two isotopologues. Conventional calculations of isotopic shifts, e.g., by standard VPT2, require scanning the geometry dependence over the whole molecule, which becomes expensive rapidly as the molecule size increases. In DD-VPT2, this scan can be restricted to a small region around the substitution site. At the heart of DD-VPT2 is a set of localized vibration modes common to the two isotopologues and designed such that the difference between the vibration patterns is caught by a small subset of them (usually fewer than 10). We tested the DD-VPT2 method for a series of molecules with increasing size and found that this method provides results with the same quality as VPT2 and in good agreement with the experiment, with computational savings up to 95% and less numerical instabilities. The method is easy to automatize and straightforward to generalize to other molecular properties.

Abstract
The effect of the local structure on the 31P NMR chemical shift tensor (CST) has been studied experimentally and simulated theoretically using the density functional theory gauge-independent-atomic-orbital approach. It has been shown that the dominating impact comes from a small number of noncovalent interactions between the phosphorus-containing group under question and the atoms of adjacent molecules. These interactions can be unambiguously identified using the Bader analysis of the electronic density. A robust and computationally effective approach designed to attribute a given experimental 31P CST to a certain local morphology has been elaborated. This approach can be useful in studies of surfaces, complex molecular systems, and amorphous materials.

Abstract
The impact of the environment onto the geometry of hydrogen bonds can be critically important for the properties of the questioned molecular system. The paper reports on the design of calculation approaches capable to simulate the effect of aprotic polar solvents on the geometric and NMR parameters of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. A hydrogen fluoride and pyridine complex has been used as the main model system because the experimental estimates of these parameters are available for it. Specifically, F-H, F⋯N, and H-N distances, the values of 15N NMR shift, and spin-spin coupling constants 1J(19F1H), 1hJ(1H15N), and 2hJ(19F15N) have been analyzed. Calculation approaches based on the gas-phase and the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM) approximations and their combinations with geometric constraints and additional noncovalent interactions have been probed. The main result of this work is that the effect of an aprotic polar solvent on the geometry of a proton-donor⋯H⋯proton-acceptor complex cannot be reproduced under the PCM approximation if no correction for solvent-solute interactions is made. These interactions can be implicitly accounted for using a simple computational protocol.

Abstract
Hydrogen bond geometries in the proton-bound homodimers of quinoline and acridine derivatives in an aprotic polar solution have been experimentally studied using 1H NMR at 120 K. The reported results show that an increase of the dielectric permittivity of the medium results in contraction of the N···N distance. The degree of contraction depends on the homodimer's size and its substituent-specific solvation features. Neither of these effects can be reproduced using conventional implicit solvent models employed in computational studies. In general, the N···N distance in the homodimers of pyridine, quinoline, and acridine derivatives decreases in the sequence gas phase > solid state > polar solvent.

Abstract
We present a (1)H, (2)H, and (13)C NMR study of the monoanions of succinic (1), meso- and rac-dimethylsuccinic (2, 3), and methylsuccinic (4) acids (with tetraalkylammonium as the counterion) dissolved in CDF(3)/CDF(2)Cl at 300-120 K. In all four monoanions, the carboxylic groups are linked by a short intramolecular OHO hydrogen bond revealed by the bridging-proton chemical shift of about 20 ppm. We show that the flexibility of the carbon skeleton allows for two gauche isomers in monoanions 1, 2, and 4, interconverting through experimental energy barriers of 10-15 kcal/mol (the process itself and the energy barrier are also reproduced in MP2/6-311++G** calculations). In 3, one of the gauche forms is absent because of the steric repulsion of the methyl groups. In all four monoanions, the bridging proton is located in a double-well potential and subject, at least to some extent, to proton tautomerism, for which we estimate the two proton positions to be separated by ca. 0.2 Å. In 1 and 3, the proton potential is symmetric. In 2, slowing the conformational interconversion introduces an asymmetry to the proton potential, an effect that might be strong enough even to synchronize the proton tautomerism with the interconversion of the two gauche forms. In 4, the asymmetry of the proton potential is due to the asymmetric substitution. The intramolecular H-bond is likely to remain intact during the interconversion of the gauche forms in 1, 3, and 4, whereas the situation in 2 is less clear.
