A Database Study of Intermolecular NH...O Hydrogen Bonds for Carboxylates, Sulfonates and Monohydrogen Phosphonates

摘要

A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD, version 5.05, 1993) was performed in order to compare the geometrical features of the hydrogen bonds involving on the one hand amino groups and on the other hand carboxylates, sulfonates or monohydrogen phosponates. Phosphonates were not considered because only four entries containing amino and phosphonate moieities were located in the CSD. The hydroxylic group of monohydrogen phosphonates primarily acts as a hydrogen-bond donor. The three moieties under study show NH...O hydrogen bonds with similar geometrical features. This statistical analysis has focused on the hydrogen-bond distances and angles and on the distributions of the H atoms around the acceptor O atoms of carboxylates, sulfonates or monohydrogen phosphonates.
