Weak Hydrogen Bond - POD TITLE

Zusatztext "This book is an important monograph for those working on the related structural chemistry of the weak hydrogen bond" Molecules Klappentext The weak or non-conventional hydrogen bond has been the subject of intense scrutiny over recent years. Although the existence of this type of hydrogen bond was suggested many years ago! research has traditionally focused on the stronger and more well-known forms of hydrogen bonds. However! a growing body of experimental and theoretical evidence now confirms that hydrogen bonds like C-H...O! O-H...! C-H... and even bonds such as O-H...metal play distinctive roles in structural chemistry and biology. This book provides a critical assessment of this interesting and occasionally controversial interaction type. It will be a useful resource for a wide range of researchers in structural and supramolecular science. Zusammenfassung The weak or non-conventional hydrogen bond has been subject of intense scrutiny over recent years in several fields, in particular in structural chemistry, structural biology, and also in the pharmaceutical sciences. There is today a large body of experimental and theoretical evidence confirming that hydrogen bonds like C-H...O, N-H...pi, C-H...pi and even bonds like O-H...metal play distinctive roles in molecular recognition, guiding molecular association, and in determining molecular and supramolecular architectures. The relevant compound classes include organometallic complexes, organic and bio-organic systems, and also DNA and proteins. The book provides a comprehensive assessment of this interaction type, and is of interest to all those interested in structural and supramolecular science, including fields as crystal engineering and drug design. 1. Introduction; 2. Archetypes of the weak hydrogen bond; 3. Other weak and non-conventional hydrogen bonds; 4. The weak hydrogen bond in supramolecular chemistry; 5. The weak hydrogen bond in biological structures; 6. Conclusions; Appendix...
