Can non-polar hydrogen atoms accept hydrogen bonds?

Abstract: We examine an unusual case where a neutral hydrogen atom acts as a hydrogen-bond acceptor. The association constant between trihexylsilane and perfluoro-tert-butanol was measured as ∼0.8 M(-1) in cyclohexane. Computations and experimental NMR data are consistent with a weak, but favourable Si-H···HO interaction.

“…In neat HFIP the SiH resonances appear strongly up‐field (Δ δ SiH =−0.1 to −1.1 ppm) relative to their position in noncoordinating solvents ([D 6 ]benzene, [D 8 ]toluene, methylcyclohexane‐ d 14 ) or in neat silane even at room temperature (Table S3). That conforms the criteria of DHB formation and is in line with the up‐field chemical shift of ν SiH resonance by 0.2 ppm observed for ( n ‐Hex) 3 SiH:PFTB at a very high molar ratio (1:56) . We used 1 H NOE difference spectroscopy to get further NMR proofs of SiH⋅⋅⋅HO interaction.…”

“…[11] Once the temporal shift of ESA1 and ESA2 is complete,b oth bands decay in around 1.5 ns,a sin the aprotic solvents.M ore pronounced spectral dynamics were observed in the most protic solvents,t rifluoroethanol (TFE, a = 1.51), hexafluoroisopropanol (HFP, a = 1.96,) and perfluoro-tert-butanol (NFB), with perfluoro-tert-butanol being the strongest H-bond donating solvent known. [14] Both bands shift even further than in the less-protic solvents (Figure 2). Global analysis reveals that this large shift is in fact due to the decay of ESA1 and the concurrent rise of anew band, ESA3, located at lower frequency ( Figure S19).…”
