Weakly hydrogen

If tetramethylammonium chloride is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, the unstable salt [(CH3)4N] [HClj], can be crystallised out here chlorine is showing weak hydrogen bonding (cf. F H—F which is stable, and Cl - H—Cl which is unstable). 

The unexpected preference for the interfacial region at lower concentrations of benzene has prompted speculation. It has been demonstrated that aromatic compounds are capable of forming weak hydrogen bonds with water. This ability favours uptake in the aqueous interface over solubilisation in the interior. Alternatively, some authors have attributed the binding behaviour of benzene to its... 

This proposal, however, has been criticized on the basis of transition state theory (74). Hydroperoxy radicals produced in reaction 23 or 24 readily participate in chain-terminating reactions (eq. 17) and are only weak hydrogen abstractors. When they succeed in abstracting hydrogen, they generate hydrogen peroxide ... 

In this case the parameters C and Q are of order of unity, and therefore they correspond to the intermediate situation between the sudden and adiabatic tunneling regimes. Examples are mal-onaldehyde, tropolon and its derivatives, and the hydrogen-oxalate anion discussed above. For intermolecular transfer, corresponding to a weak hydrogen bond, the parameters C, Q and b are typically much smaller than unity, and the sudden approximation is valid. In particular, carbonic acids fulfill this condition, as was illustrated by Makri and Miller [1989]. 

Bands at 1000 and 1035 cm-1 have been assigned (43) to a spectrum approximating to structure (I), a very weak hydrogen bond, and bands at 1010 cm-1 and 1035 cm-1 to a spectrum approximating to structure (II) in which the proton has become completely attached to the nitrogen atom. 

Collagen forms a triple helix, where three chains of connected amino acids form weak hydrogen bonds between the double-bonded oxygen atoms and the hydrogen atoms attached to the adjacent chain s nitrogens. The three chains then twist together like three cords in a rope. 

It is a lipophilic compound which removes intercellular lipids that are covalently linked to the cornified envelope surrounding epithelial cells [3]. It also enhances penetration of other agents. Resorcinol (m-dihydroxy benzene) is structurally and chemically similar to phenol. It disrupts the weak hydrogen bonds of keratin [4]. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid which causes corneocyte detachment and subsequent desquamation of the stratum corneum [5]. 

In pseudoplastic substances shear thinning depends mainly on the particle or molecular orientation or alignement in the direction of flow, this orientation is lost or regained at the same speed. Additionally many dispersions show this potential for particle or molecule interactions, this leads to bonds creating a three-dimensional network structure. They are often build-up from relatively weak hydrogen or ionic bonds. When the network is disturbed. 

These results at the interfaces between the PVA gel and quartz surfaces, with and without modification by OTS, suggest that the weakly hydrogen bonded, that is, liquid-like , water plays an important role for the low friction at the PVA gel/quartz interface.

The binding between the substrate and the enzyme is often provided by relatively weak hydrogen bonds. The E-S complexes have equilibrium constants ranging from one hundredth to one hundred millionth M, which corresponds to interaction free energies of -3 to -12 kcal/mol much lower than the value of -450 kJ/mol characteristic for a covalent bond.
