Intermolecular hydrogenbonds

Because of the good x-ray data (a total of 99 intensities were available for refinement), difference Fourier techniques, such as described by Winter in this volume (33), could be used to locate the KOH and water molecules in this crystal structure. As shown in Fig. 6, the K " ion coordinates with four oxygens of the amylose chain and two water molecules. All three water molecules participate in hydrogen bonds, but the intermolecular hydrogenbonding pattern is not extensive. This probably accounts for the water-solubility of the complex.

Thordarson et al. have studied the aggregation of pyromelhtamide 7 and its response to anions. It was found that compound 7 aggregates in nonpolar solvent by the formation of one-dimensional intermolecular hydrogenbonding networks. Upon the introduction of anions the aggregation of 7 is disturbed [15]. Proton NMR titration experiments in de-acetone at 300 K re-... 

The different solvents, additives, and cosolvents present in the reaction media can assist in the stabilization of the transition state and favor one facial preference for the approaching of the substrates as depicted in proposed transition state D [52b] (Fig. 2.10) for the 32-catalyzed Michael addition of ketones to nitrostyrene. In this case, a cooperative hydrogen-bond solvent participation (represented by H O) takes place resembling the oxyanion hole commonly found in enzymes for stabilizing transition states. It seems then very clear that intra- and intermolecular hydrogenbonding interactions play a key role in the organocatalytic cycle. 

This chapter discusses stereospecific intermolecular interactions in monolayers at the air-water interface, where surface-active molecules (surfactants) are partially oriented with respect to each other by the cooperative combination of interionic, hydrophobic, and hydrogenbonding forces. We believe that these reports should be of particular interest in relation to stereospecificity in assemblies such as micelles, vesicles, and bilayer membranes, where their significance has been largely ignored. 

Intermolecular forces in the presence of water include the dispersion forces as well as the dipole-dipole forces and the hydrogen-bonding forces. The hydrogenbonding component to the solubility parameter ( SH ) can be estimated as ... 

Asphaltenes in the straight-reduced asphalt are formed by intermolecular associations of naturally occurring hydrogenbonding acids and bases.

Three types of intermolecular attractive forces are known to exist between neutral molecules dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, and hydrogenbonding forces. These forces are also called van der Waals forces after Johannes van der Waals, who developed the equation for predicting the deviation of gases from ideal behavior. (Section 10.9) Another kind of attractive force, the ion-dipole force, is important in solutions. All four forces are electrostatic in nature, involving attractions between positive and negative species. All tend to be less than 15% as strong as covalent or ionic bonds.
