Dear David
Eventhough, the distance in case of of n-n+3 is less then n-n+4,
indicating the weak nature of this bond but it shows an angle of 48.65 which is much
higher then that for n-n+4(17.69). I would like to know if there is any
kind of angle criteria which allows the bonds to form in a specific
angle range.
I mean to say that if the donor and acceptor groups are some distance
apart which can form strong hydrogen bonds but the angle between them is
not in the favourable region, will carnal show a hydrogen bond in this
case also??
With regards
Anshul
