Conformational preference of glycinamide in solution: An answer derived from combined experimental and computational studies

Cobalt, nickel and copper complexes with glycinamide: structural insights and magnetic properties

“…16 Glycinamide is capable of building various hydrogen bonding architectures, having four N-H hydrogen atoms in the neutral form as potential HB-donors and an amide oxygen as the acceptor. In the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) 28 there are only six structures containing the glycinamide fragment: glycinamide hydrochloride, 29 two rhodium complexes, 30,31 a bimetallic (Mn, Cr) ferrimagnet, 32 a ruthenium complex 33 and an iridium complex. 34 This is surprising because coordination of metal ions by amide groups of simple amides, peptides and proteins is of great interest due to their importance in biological systems.…”
