Abstract

A large number of compounds with intramolecular hydrogen bonds with great proton polarizability were studied by 1H NMR in solvents of various polarities. With the homoconjugated hydrogen bonds, small changes of the chemical shift of the hydrogen-bonded proton are observed with increasing polarity of the solvent, whereby the signal shifts toward lower field. This effect is explained by increasing removal of the counterions from the homoconjugated hydrogen bonds and thus, by decreasing induced dipole interaction of the counterions and the hydrogen bonds with great proton polarizability. In the case of heteroconjugated hydrogen bonds analogous but much greater shifts are observed. They are explained by a shift of the OH…N ⇌ O…H+N equilibria to the right-hand side with increasing polarity of the solvent. With hydrogen bonds showing no great proton polarizability these effects do not occur.

      Literature is scarce in the scientific reports on complexes of metal ions with quinaldinic acid N-oxide [9,10]. There are reports about the hydrogen bonds occurring in this ligand and its derivatives [11–15]. For quinaldinic acid N-oxide and its 4-substituted derivatives the existence of strong intramolecular hydrogen bond has been evidenced on the basis of IR [16], 1H and 13C NMR studies [17,18].
