【 摘 要 】

Intramolecular hydrogen bonds play critical structure- and function-serving roles in biological and synthetic molecular systems. This special issue, through eight contributions, showcases the prominence of these non-covalent interactions within several scientific disciplines, and in various structural contexts and environments. Reported, for example, are the consequences of intramolecular hydrogen bonds on the structures of molecules that show biological activity, for biological mechanisms, and for the conformational switching of functional synthetic molecules. Also showcased in the contributions are the state-of-the-art experimental and theoretical methods available for the characterization of intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which critically report on their strengths, geometries, and spectroscopic signatures in the gas, solid, and solution phases.
