The structure determinations., using X-ray diffraction methods, comprise eight molecules which contain the NCO moiety. The theoretical studies have been carried out using <em>ab initio</em> methods with hydrogen bonded complexes of formamide as model systems. The effect of hydrogen bonding on the peptide linkage, i.e. the shortening of the CN bond and the lengthening of the CO bond, is well reflected by the theoretical calculations. These calculations indicate that the readily delocalized π-electronic system, which can counteract perturbations in the σ-electronic system, is one of the major factors in the ability of the peptide linkage to form hydrogen bonds. On the basis of the structural parameters obtained in the crystal structure determinations and those found in the gaseous state for some simple amides, it is found that the formation of one <em>inter</em>molecular NH… O hydrogen bond, i.e. such that both the nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the NCO moiety are involved, leads to a shortening of the CN bond by ∼ 0.025 Å and a lengthening of the CO bond by ∼ 0.014 Å</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100050,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Molecular Relaxation Processes","volume":"9 2","pages":"Pages 105-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0001-8716(76)80020-X","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83457548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
