“…Among his honors,h ew as awarded the Madinabeitia-LourenÅo Prize from the Spanish RoyalC hemical Society and the Prizes of the Portuguese Chemical and Electrochemical Societies. [29,43,82,83] These RAHB moieties are ubiquitous in variousf ields, includingo rganic [84][85][86] and inorganic synthesis, [87,88] crystal growth and design, [89][90][91][92] supramolecular chemistry, [93,94] medicinal chemistry, [95][96][97][98] and materials chemistry, [99,100] andh ave been used in the activation of covalent bonds, crystal engineering, dynamic combinatorial chemistry,m olecular recognition, E/Z isomeric resolution, racemization/epimerization of amino acids, solvatochromism, and liquid-crystalline materials, among other applications. [6] According to the electrostatic-covalent hydrogen bond model, the strongest H-bonds must be homonuclear( X ÀH···X) and symmetrical at both sides of the H-bond.O nly in this situation, the two wavefunctions corresponding to XÀH···X and X···HÀXr esonance forms are isoenergetic and can mix to agreater extent.…”
