Figure 6
Histograms showing the distance distribution between the two O atoms involved in the interlinking hydrogen bond(s) for carboxyl–carboxyl(ate) dimer structures with low R-factors (R ≤ 0.05). The arrows mark the average values. (a) d(O⋯O) histogram for the two carboxyl⋯carboxyl hydrogen bonds of the cyclic dimers. (b) d(O⋯O) histogram for the non-cyclic carboxyl⋯carboxyl hydrogen bonds. All syn and anti conformers are taken into account. (c) d(O⋯O) histogram for the carboxyl⋯carboxylate hydrogen bonds (intramolecular hydrogen bonds are not considered). All syn and anti conformers are taken into account. (d) d(O⋯O) histogram for the carboxyl⋯carboxylate intramolecular hydrogen bond found in mono-anion dicarboxylic acids (see for instance Fig. 3). |
