Samples of carboxylate-fluorapatite are prepared with citric, tricarballylic, and glutaric acids under hydrothermal conditions. The size of the hexagonal rods differs significantly for the three samples, of which the citric-acid sample exhibits the smallest dimension along the [h00] direction. The solid-state NMR data reveal that all the citrate molecules of citrate-fluorapatite are in direct contact with the fluorapatite surface and that there are at least two binding modes accounting for the interaction between citrate and fluorapatite surface. In addition to the electrostatic interaction between the carboxylate carbons and the calcium ions, some citrate molecules also form hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl group of citrate and the orthophosphate ion of fluorapatite. This hydrogen-bond interaction is highly ordered and may play an important role in the formation of the spherulites.

In this Letter, we study the phase transition between amorphous ices and the nature of the hysteresis cycle separating them. We discover that a topological transition takes place as the system transforms from low-density amorphous ice (LDA) at low pressures to high-density amorphous ice (HDA) at high pressures. Specifically, we uncover that the hydrogen bond network (HBN) displays qualitatively different topologies in the LDA and HDA phases: the former characterized by disentangled loop motifs, with the latter displaying topologically complex long-lived Hopf-linked and knotted configurations.

Hydrogen-bonded cocrystals have attracted considerable attention as they allow fine-tuning of properties through the choice of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors. In this study, triphenylarsine oxide (PhAsO) is introduced as a strong hydrogen-bond acceptor molecule. Due to its higher Lewis basicity compared to triphenylphosphine oxide (PhPO), it acts as a strong hydrogen-bond acceptor, which is demonstrated in six new cocrystals with HO and -di(hydroperoxy)cycloalkanes.

In this study, a Pd nanoparticles@hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Pd NPs@HOF) thin film was fabricated at the toluene-water interface. The HOF was formed through the interaction of trimesic acid (TMA) and melamine (Mel) in the water phase, while Pd(0) was produced from the reduction of [PdCl(cod)] in the organic phase. The as-synthesized Pd NPs@HOF thin film was demonstrated to be an effective catalyst for the selective reduction of -nitrophenol and -nitrophenol to -aminophenol and -aminophenol.

The CFH group can act as a hydrogen bond donor, serving as a potential surrogate for OH or SH groups but with a weaker hydrogen bond donation ability. Here, we describe a series of CFH group-containing moieties that facilitate hydrogen bond interactions. We survey hydrogen bond donation ability using several established methods, including H NMR-based hydrogen bond acidity determination, UV-vis spectroscopy titration with Reichardt's dye, and H NMR titration using tri--butylphosphine oxide as a hydrogen bond acceptor.
