Abstract
Experimental evidence for intramolecular blue-shifting C-H...O hydrogen bonding is presented. Argon matrix-isolation infrared spectra of 1-methoxy-2-(dimethylamino)ethane exhibit a band at 3016.5 cm-1. Spectral behavior with annealing indicates that this band is assigned to the most stable conformer, trans-gauche-(trans|gauche'), with an intramolecular C-H...O hydrogen bond. Density functional calculations show that this band arises from the stretching vibration of the C-H bond participating in the formation of the C-H...O hydrogen bond. The C-H bond is shortened by 0.004 A, and the C-H stretching band is blue-shifted by at least 35 cm-1 on the formation of the hydrogen bond. The (C)H...O distance is calculated as 2.38 A, which is shorter than the corresponding van der Waals separation by 0.3 A.
