“…Our results agree with those reported previously using the wave functions obtained at the MP2/augcc-pVDZ level. 17 The molecular graphs for the structures G-PW-1a and G-PW-1b are very similar (Figure 5). There is a bond critical point (BCP) between the hydroxyl H atom of PA and the oxygen atom of H 2 O (O−H•••O).…”

“…Saini and Viswanathan studied the hydrogen-bonded PA•••H 2 O complex using matrix isolation IR spectroscopy. 17 The experiments were done in both N 2 and Ar matrices, with comparable results. They observed the global minimum structure for the complex, where PA donates the H-bond to the water fragment, and the acetylenic moiety accepts an H-bond from the water, forming a closed hydrogen-bonded network.…”

We have studied the rotational spectra of the propargyl alcohol (PA)–water complex using a pulsed-nozzle Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. A hydrogen-bonded ring structure is observed. The propargyl alcohol acts as an H-bond donor to form a strong O–H···O bond with H2O, and H2O donates back an H-bond to the acetylenic moiety, forming a weak O–H···π bond. Splittings of the rotational transitions were observed, which are indicative of internal motions of the H2O fragment. The two lowest-energy conformers differ only in the position of the nonbonded hydrogen of H2O. Several isotopic substitutions were carried out to ascertain the position of the nonbonded hydrogen of H2O. Rotational spectroscopy helps to assign the observed structure to one, though it would be vibrationally averaged with a shallow potential along some coordinates, which could interchange the two conformers. These results are compared with earlier results on several alcohol–water complexes to understand the donor–acceptor capabilities of the OH groups in alcohol–water complexes. An empirical correlation between pK a and H-bond donor ability has been observed.

The elusive ≡C-H⋯O complex in the hydrogen bonded systems of Phenylacetylene: A Matrix Isolation Infrared and Ab Initio Study

Hydrogen-bonded complexes of phenylacetylene (PhAc) with methanol (MeOH) and diethylether (DEE) were studied using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy. This study specifically searched for the ≡C-H⋯O hydrogen bonded complex in these systems, which manifest a n-σ* interaction and which is a local minimum on the PhAc-MeOH potential surface, as in the case of PhAc-H₂O heterodimer. This n-σ* local minimum eluded observation in gas phase studies and it was therefore thought interesting to look for this isomer in cryogenic matrices. While MeOH can interact with PhAc as both a proton donor (O-H⋯π complex) or a proton acceptor (n-σ* complex), DEE can only manifest the n-σ* isomer. A comparison of the spectral shifts observed in the features of PhAc-MeOH and PhAc-DEE would therefore independently confirm the existence or not of n-σ* complex in both these systems. In addition to the n-σ* complex observed in both the above systems, the O-H⋯π complex was also discerned in the PhAc-MeOH system. These complexes have stabilization energy in the range of 8-25 kJ /mol. The experimental results were corroborated by computations performed at MP2 and M06-2X, levels of theory, using 6-311++G(d,p) and aug-cc-pVDZ basis sets. Single point calculations at the CCSD level of theory were also performed. Atoms-in-molecules (AIM), NBO and LMOEDA analysis were also performed to understand the nature of the intermolecular interactions in these complexes
