Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
To perform detailed charge density studies and theoretical calculations on the proton sponge 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) and its ionic complexes with general formula DMAN+X- (where X- is a counteranion) by x-ray diffraction and to examine dynamic properties of the hydrogen bond using variable-temperature solid -state NMR and NQR. We will investigate:1. The causes of the unusual basicity of proton sponges2. The value charge density studies in this context3. The distribution of electron density, dynamic properties and long-range effects of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds4. Strong steric interactions and their consequences on the structure and properties5. The role of intermolecular interactions in proton sponges.Finally we will compare and correlate results from different physical techniques.
