Strong hydrogen bonds detection

What makes FHF an attractive species to investigate by nmr spectroscopy is that it consists of three nuceli each with spin 1/2 bonded directly. Also, the proton of the strong hydrogen bond should have an unusual chemical shift. Early work failed to detect the expected F doublet and H triplets (e.g. Soriano et al., 1969), and it was not until the importance of the solvent was appreciated that coupling was observed (Fujiwara and Martin, 1971, 1974a,b). Suitable media were found to be the dipolar aprotic solvents acetonitrile, nitromethane and dimethylformamide. 

The alkylruthenium species obtained in eq. 5.1 is very stable in water, neither the addition of strong acids nor boiling for several hours lead to its decomposition. In aqueous solution it exists as a monomeric cation, however, it was isolated in solid state and characterized by X-ray crystallography as a dimer [ Ru(C2Hs)(CO)2(H20)2 2] - The stabiUty of this ruthenium alkyl is attributed to the stabihzation effect of strong hydrogen bonds which could be detected in the crystal structure and are postulated also in its aqueous solutions. Finally, elimination of propionic acid from the acyl could be induced by raising the temperature this reaction closes the catalytic cycle ... 

Square-planar Pd (23) and octahedral Rh (24) hydroperoxide complexes containing hydrotris(3,5-diisopropylpyrazolyl)borate ligand have been prepared as well and characterized in the solid state. Strong hydrogen-bond interaction between —OOH moiety and ligands has been detected in these complexes. 

The sequence of events which we have detected at ultrasonic frequencies when hydrophilic polymers are contacted by strongly hydrogen bonding solvents involves a sharp increase in shear stiffness followed by a more or less rapid decrease to attenuation levels close to that of the solvent. 

SO that symmetrical strong hydrogen bonding occurs. These two situations can be detected and distinguished spectroscopically from protonation and interaction with Lewis sites. 

It is dfficult to detect outliers through inspection of large data matrices. Two examples illustrate this When principal properties were determined for a set of ketones[14], 2-furanone (which is a lactone) was included in the set of compounds to check the sensitivity of the model for detecting outliers. As expected it was a clear outlier. When a set of aldehydes was analyzed[14], hydroxy substituted aromatic aldehydes were projected as clear ouliers. The ability of these compounds to strong hydrogen bonding sorted them out as different to the remaining, more lipophilic aldehydes. 

Exclusively strong hydrogen bond, probably the strongest detected up to date between two neutral molecules, is formed in a polar solution between FH and...
