Resum
The traditional view of H-bonding has been questioned over the past years, according to
new experimental and theoretical evidence pointing to a much more general type of interaction.
Recent IUPAC recommendations on H-bonding characterization highlight that a wide range of
atoms and molecular fragments may be involved in H-bonding.
In this study the H-bond character of a CH···S contact between a methyl group and a
sulphur atom from a thioether was assessed. These atoms come in contact in the dimerization
of a trityl radical. Several criteria for identifying H-bonds were studied. These include structuralenergetic,
spectroscopic (IR and NMR spectroscopies) and theoretical (AIM analysis of the
electron density) considerations, which were studied using a computational approach.
A medium-quality computational model was used, whose validity was assessed by first
studying the mentioned interaction in the CH4···SH2 model complex and comparing the results
to those reported in an analogous study by Rovira and Novoa. The chosen computational model
describes well the geometries of the complex, although it fails to describe quantitatively the
stabilization energy. When studying the criteria reported by the IUPAC, the chosen
computational model gives a qualitatively correct description of the CH···S contact in the
CH4···SH2 complex, confirming the presence of a weak H-bond, as reported in other studies.
For the CH···S contact in the trityl radical dimer a weak blue-shifting H-bond is confirmed
between the indicated atoms. The interaction lays in the limit of weak H-bonding and van der
Waals interactions.
