Abstract
Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectra of aqueous solutions of 2-methylpyridine (2-mepy) have been analyzed to identify the 2-mepy-water H-bond complexes. As an aid theoretical frequencies of the complexes have been used. Natural Bond Orbital (NBO), Quantum Theory of Atoms In Molecules (QTAIM), and Reduced Gradient (RDG) isosurface analyses have also been performed. The classical O-H⋯N/non-classical C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds follow a single/two-step electron transfer mechanism. The non-classical interaction may have the single-step process in some complexes. The H-index cannot discriminate the classical and non-classical hydrogen bonds. The electron density ρ(r), Laplacian of electron density ∇2ρ(r) follow the second order perturbation energy E(2) values in ordering only the O-H⋯N interactions. The ρ(r)/ ∇2ρ(r) value shows distinct ranges for O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The range of O-H⋯π interaction, which can also have negative mutual penetration value, approximates to that of C-H⋯O H-bonds.
期刊介绍:
The journal includes papers in the following areas:
– Simple organic liquids and mixtures
– Ionic liquids
– Surfactant solutions (including micelles and vesicles) and liquid interfaces
– Colloidal solutions and nanoparticles
– Thermotropic and lyotropic liquid crystals
– Ferrofluids
– Water, aqueous solutions and other hydrogen-bonded liquids
– Lubricants, polymer solutions and melts
– Molten metals and salts
– Phase transitions and critical phenomena in liquids and confined fluids
– Self assembly in complex liquids.– Biomolecules in solution
The emphasis is on the molecular (or microscopic) understanding of particular liquids or liquid systems, especially concerning structure, dynamics and intermolecular forces. The experimental techniques used may include:
– Conventional spectroscopy (mid-IR and far-IR, Raman, NMR, etc.)
– Non-linear optics and time resolved spectroscopy (psec, fsec, asec, ISRS, etc.)
– Light scattering (Rayleigh, Brillouin, PCS, etc.)
– Dielectric relaxation
– X-ray and neutron scattering and diffraction.
Experimental studies, computer simulations (MD or MC) and analytical theory will be considered for publication; papers just reporting experimental results that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamentals of molecular and ionic liquids will not be accepted. Only papers of a non-routine nature and advancing the field will be considered for publication.
