Water Triggers Hydrogen‐Bond‐Network Reshaping in the Glycoaldehyde Dimer

Abstract: Carbohydrates are ubiquitous biomolecules in nature. The vast majority of their biomolecular activity takes place in aqueous environments. Molecular reactivity and functionality are, therefore, often strongly influenced by not only interactions with equivalent counterparts, but also with the surrounding water molecules. Glycoaldehyde (Gly) represents a prototypical system to identify the relevant interactions and the balance that governs them. Here we present a broadband rotational‐spectroscopy study on the st… Show more

“…A similar arrangement was also observed for acenaphthene‐(H 2 O) 3 [22] and CH 2 F 2 ‐(H 2 O) 3 [23] . Interestingly, when complexing with β‐propiolactone, [24] camphor, [25] the glycoaldehyde dimer, [26] or verbenone, [27] the water trimer adopts a chain structure. In the formamide‐(H 2 O) 3 complex, all molecules, including formamide, are located almost in one plane closing a sequential cycle.…”

“…Asimilar arrangement was also observed for acenaphthene-(H 2 O) 3 [22] and CH 2 F 2 -(H 2 O) 3 . [23] Interestingly,w hen complexing with b-propiolactone, [24] camphor, [25] the glycoaldehyde dimer, [26] or verbenone, [27] the water trimer adopts ac hain structure.I nt he formamide-(H 2 O) 3 complex, all molecules,i ncluding formamide,a re located almost in one plane closing as equential cycle.Itwas shown that formamide can act as asubstitute of two water molecules,a nd the formamide-(H 2 O) 3 complex mimics the overall structure of the cyclic water pentamer. [28] Thewater trimer thus forms different configurations depending on the solute molecule that it interacts with, highlighting the crucial role of the interplay between the water-water and water-solute interactions.Acomparison of these studies indicates that the water trimer prefers to form chains when it interacts with the solute molecule as aH Bd onor through as trong HB such as OH•••O,o therwise it prefers the cyclic form.…”

“…Hydrogen bonds are an important type of interaction that stabilizes the crystal packing of small molecules, structures of proteins, and various geometries of coordination compounds. One of the most studied hydrogen bonds is between water molecules. It was shown that the most stable geometry of water dimers has an interaction energy of ca. −4.84 kcal/mol .…”

“…Although hydrogen bonds involving water molecules and other conventional hydrogen donors and acceptors are extensively studied, numerous cases in which hydrogen donors are coordinated to transition metal atoms are yet to be systematically examined. In this work, we studied energies and geometries of hydrogen bonds between noncoordinated and coordinated ammonia and water using a combination of statistical analysis of crystallographic data from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) and accurate quantum chemical calculations.…”
