Abstract

The study of the thermodynamic properties and cooperativity involved in three centered hydrogen (THB) bond formation using aromatic ortho-A substituted amides, oxalamates and bis- oxalamides (A = H, OMe, F, CH2OH, NO2, COCH3) as model molecules is reported. ∆H° and ∆S° associated with disruption of intramolecular hydrogen bonding by solvent were estimated using temperature dependence data of the N-H chemical shift. The results suggest that the influence of the A group is more important when electron-withdrawing, increasing both the enthalpy and entropy with an important contribution from conformational changes. The data allowed the estimation of the Ph=NH + rotational barrier of 14.0 kJ mol -1 in the amide and 16.7- 18.0 kJ mol -1 in oxalyl moiety. Correlations between ∆H° and ∆S° with NH temperature gradients predicted an enthalpy change of 18.7(1.0) and 24.4(1.7) kJ mol -1 for the energy required to break a full THB bond (A⋅⋅⋅H⋅⋅⋅O=C) and entropy differences between the non hydrogen bonded and hydrogen bonded state of 42.0(4.7) and 61.9(11) J mol -1 K -1 in oxalamate and bis-oxalamide series, respectively, in agreement with the participation of cooperative effects.

Highlights

  • The pioneering study on three centered hydrogen bonding using aromatic amides, oxalamates and bis-oxalamides was developed by Martínez-Martínez,[1] in his PhD dissertation under the supervision of Professor Rosalinda Contreras

  • The method adjusts the data to a sigmoidal curve by Non Linear Fitting Procedures (NLFP) (Figure 1d), from which δHB and δSB values are predicted

  • The linear equations predict an enthalpy change of 18.7(1.0) and 24.4(1.7) kJ mol-1 for the energy required to break a full three centered hydrogen bond (THB) (|∆δΝΗ/∆T| = 0) in oxalamate and bis-oxalamide series, respectively

Summary

Introduction

The pioneering study on three centered hydrogen bonding using aromatic amides, oxalamates and bis-oxalamides was developed by Martínez-Martínez,[1] in his PhD dissertation under the supervision of Professor Rosalinda Contreras. To maintain the influence of the A group constant and appreciate the energetics related with three centered hydrogen bonding (THB) and cooperativity effects, the quotient ∆YHB = ∆Yona-c /∆Yona (Y = H, S) is proposed; where ∆Yona-c is the estimated enthalpy or entropy for each one of 1a-c to 7a-c and ∆Yona is the enthalpy or entropy for each amide na as reference compound, ∆HHB values for 2b are ∆H°(2b)/∆H°(2a) = 9.68/9.50 = 1.0, for three centered hydrogen bonds, and for 2c, ∆H°(2c)/∆H°(2a) = 12.92/9.50 = 1.4 (Table 2), for cooperativity effects.
