Abstract
The conformational stability of synthesized diphenyloxalohydrazide and dibenzoyloxalohydrazide fluoro derivatives has been investigated by extensive NMR studies that are ascertained by various levels of theoretical calculations. Two-dimensional 1H-19F HOESY NMR experiments revealed the close spatial proximity between two NMR-active nuclei, confirming the hydrogen bond (HB)-mediated interaction between them, further aiding in establishing the probable stable conformations of these molecules. The relaxed potential energy scan disclosed the energy-minimized most stable structure among the several possible multiple conformations, which is in concurrence with NMR interpretations. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to unequivocally establish the conformational stability and the nature of HB formation at varied temperatures. With the possibility of occurrence of a number of probable conformations, the percentage of occurrences of different types of HBs in them was determined by MD simulations. Their population analysis was carried out using a Boltzmann distribution, in addition to deriving their Gibbs free energies. The molecular interactions governing the stable conformations have not only been ascertained by experimental NMR interpretations but also corroborated by other theoretical computations, viz., quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM) and noncovalent interaction (NCI). © 2018 American Chemical Society.
