Hydrogen bond in solutions

Seiler [250] proposed a way of estimating the extent of hydrogen bonding in solute partitioning between water and a lipid phase by measuring the so-called A log P parameter. The latter parameter is usually defined as the difference between the partition coefficient of a solute measured in the octanol-water system and that measured in an inert alkane-water suspension AlogP = log Kp oet — log Kp aik. 

The relatively recent development27 of the direct methods of crystal structure analysis has produced a great increase in the number of crystal structures reported in the literature, particularly with regard to the possible hydrogen bonds (also for biological molecules). Hence, the classical spectroscopic data on hydrogen bonding in solution are backed up by X-ray diffraction analysis data.

The effect of added water was also calculated for the five tautomeric forms. The results showed that the spectrum corresponded principally to the dithiol 8 (Figure 1) and monothiols 5-7, which overlap the best of the features enhanced on the spectrum measured at high water content solution. These results suggest that a specific solute-solvent interaction is present favoring the dithiols and monothiols isomers indicating that the hydrogen bond in solute-water is a 1 n complex. 

Polar aprotic solvents (solvents that cannot form hydrogen bonds in solution) do not solvate the nucleophile but rather surround the accompanying cation, thereby raising the ground state energy of the nucleophile. Because the energy of the activated complex is a fixed value, the energy of activation becomes less and, therefore, the rate of reaction increases. 

Water and methanol can form strong hydrogen bonds in solutions. These kinds of solvent-solvent interactions have a pronounced effect in the NIR spectral region. For example, in pure methanol solutions it is possible to have dimers, trimers, and other intermolecular hydrogen-bonded species in equilibrium. Equilibrium concentrations of these species are very sensitive to impurity concentrations and temperature changes. 

Similarly, the down-field chemical shift of the proton resonance in H-NMR spectroscopy, which is a diagnostic tool for hydrogen bonding in solution, might be related to crystal structural data through the recent development of solid-state NMR spectroscopy. 

The various aspects of displacement and localization are now well understood, and predictions of their effects on retention in LSC can be made with some confidence. Hydrogen bonding between solute and solvent molecules requires further investigation, and it is likely that such studies will contribute to our understanding of hydrogen bonding in solution as well. On the basis of the present model it should prove possible to systematically explore new stationary phase compositions for unique separation potential. However, this subject falls outside the area of mobile-phase effects per se, and will be reserved for another time.

Recently, new spectroscopic techniques27 have allowed investigation of interactions between two, three or more molecules in order to understand the relative geometry and the kind of interactions which form clusters. Isolated clusters may serve as models for obtaining information on hydrogen bonds in solution as well as in biological systems too.

The authors themselves point to the unusual correspondence considering the different conditions (solution and solid state) and that account must be taken of the fact that compounds with intramolecular hydrogen bonds in solution are intermolecular in the solid state. Furthermore, a number of the compounds are tautomeric and the predominant form in solution and in the solid state is not necessarily the same. A rather poor fit to equation 1 was seen for daunomycin .
