Introduction

 

The Hydrogen Bond Donor-Acceptor Plugin calculates atomic hydrogen bond donor and acceptor inclination. Atomic data and overall hydrogen bond donor and acceptor multiplicity are displayed for the input molecule (or its microspecies at a given pH). The weighted average hydrogen bond donor and acceptor multiplicities taken over the microspecies and the proportions of their occurrences are computed for different pHs and displayed in a chart.

The following window shows the results of a calculation.

Options

 

Different calculation parameters can be set in the H Bond Donor/Acceptor Options window:

• Decimal places: setting the number of decimal places with which the result value is given.
• Type: defined the type of calculations (donor or acceptor).
• Exclude sulfur atoms from acceptors: if set, sulphur atoms in the acceptors are excluded.
• Exclude halogens from acceptors: if set, halogen atoms in the acceptors are excluded.
• Show microspecies data by pH: the number of donor or acceptor sites vs. pH chart is displayed.
• Microspecies: set the dimensions of the pH chart with pH lower limit, pH upper limit and pH step size. The default values are 0, 14 and 0.5, respectively (see the example below)
• Display major microspecies: the structure of the major form at the given pH is displayed.
