Abstract

The hydrogen bonding interactions between cysteine and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) were studied at the extended hybrid functional DFT-X3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level regarding their geometries, energies, vibrational frequencies, and topological features of the electron density. The quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and natural bond orbital (NBO) analyses were employed to elucidate the interaction characteristics in the complexes. The results show that two intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) are formed in one complex except few complexes with one intermolecular H-bond. The H-bonds involving O atom of DMF as H-bond acceptor usually are red-shifting H-bonds, while the blue-shifting H-bond usually involve methyl of DMF or methenyl of cysteine moiety as H-bond donors. Both hydrogen bonding interaction and structural deformation play important roles in the relative stabilities of the complexes. Due to the π-bond cooperativity, the strongest H-bond is formed between hydroxyl of cysteine moiety and O atom of DMF, however, the serious deformation counteract the hydrogen bonding interaction to a great extent. The complex involves a stronger hydrogen bonding interaction as well as the smaller deformation is the most stable one. The electron density (ρb) as well as its Laplacian (∇2ρb) at the H-bond critical point predicted by QTAIM is strongly correlated with the H-bond structural parameter (δR H···Y) and the second-perturbation energies E(2) in the NBO scheme.
