The hydrogen bond interaction between substituted phenols (X = NH2, CH3, H, Cl, CN, NO2) and O-bases (HOF, H2O, CH3OH, (CH3)(2)O) or N-bases (NHF2, NH2F, NH3, CH3NH2) is investigated theoretically at the B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) level. The calculations include the optimized geometries, the interaction energies, the frequency shifts of the nu(OH) stretching vibration along with relevant NBO parameters such as the charges on the atoms, the occupation of antibonding orbitals and the second-order hyperconjugation energies. The role of both the deprotonation enthalpies of the proton donor O-H bonds of phenols and the proton affinities of the O- or N-bases are explored. The differences between the OH center dot center dot center dot O and OH center dot center dot center dot N hydrogen bonds are outlined. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
