The formation of hydrogen bonds and molecular dynamics for the molecules cis-1-(2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl)ethanone oxime (I) and N-(2-hydroxy-4-methylphenyl)acetamide (II) have been investigated in solution using NMR. The results confirm the formation of O-H...O, O-H...N and O...H-N type inter- and intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Spin-lattice relaxation times (T(1)), activation energy of molecular dynamics and energy of intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been determined.
